Sonora Moving

Best moving company I have ever used. They are affordable and really come through when you need them. I have tried other moving companies in the area and they charge way more than Sonora Moving. Berry from Sonora Moving took great care of my mom in her move. They did such a great job. The staff at Sonora Moving are very friendly and work hard. If you want to move without stress this is the company to go with. I recommend them to all my friends.
PS. DO NOT GO WITH AFFORDABLE MOVERS… Worst company EVER!!!

My husband and I drove from the Bay Area on a Saturday to a town in Calaveras county on Labor Day weekend to meet with Barry. Normally, we would not venture out on such a high traffic weekend but the timing of our move was critical and we had to move out of this vacation home in 2 weeks. Our appointment to meet Barry was scheduled for noon. He called us at 12:11 to tell us he wasn’t coming, that he realized on Friday that he needed to reapply for a permit to move people out of state. We were speechless. Why didn’t he call us on Friday when he realized that he couldn’t’ drive our belongings across the state line and save us from making an 8 hour round trip commute in bumper to bumper traffic? And, of course, we had to make another return drive to Caleveras county mid-​week to meet with another moving company. I’d give him no stars if I could.

I am a thrilled and completely satisfied customer. We are moving from Cold Springs to Twain Harte. After selling our Cold Springs cabin, family circumstances made it necessary to delay the actual move until about a week before escrow close. Panic set in and I called Sonora Moving and Affordable Moving — the only two movers in Sonora. Barry at Sonora Moving called me back the same day. He reassured me that they could do the job (I called on Monday and needed them there 3 days later. He asked me what we needed to move and said they could be ready at 9:00 am. He didn’t need to give me an estimate because the rates are $ 90 per hour for 2 men and a 26 ft moving van.
The guys, Don and Shane, showed up at 8:30 and went to work. We were still packing! They asked what needed to be moved, and it was clear they listened to the answers. They were polite, friendly, and yet wasted no time. They parked in a very smart place to minimize walking, and that made them more productive. They were careful and caring. Both are real pros at what they do.
When they were finished, I told them where they were going, where the key was, and that we would see them there later. We needed to finish our work at the cabin so that we would not have to come back up the hill.
We are going to have new carpet installed, so Don and Shane were asked not to put anything on the carpet. They listened and proceeded to put boxes and furniture together in the uncarpeted areas like a giant 3-​D puzzle. It was amazing.
I was a bit concerned about the bad Unilocal review I read, until I realized it was over 5 years old. These guys deserve to have all the business in Sonora — we couldn’t be more happy.

Absolutely the BEST !!! Did a great job and extremely professional. Barry and the guys do what they say they will do when they say they will do it. Don is AMAZING !!!
