I was most impressed with SJM reviews. I contacted the business and spoke to.Charlie is very knowledgeable and professional and after several email exchanges, decided San Jose Movers appeared to be the best mover in the Bay Area.
When they arrived (Horatio and Alfredo) for the move at the initial large (10X20 tetris style piled up) unit, I was very impressed as they were not only early but began to work right away. Both were a great team and worked efficiently for the next few hours while I advised them what goes to our new home and what goes to another storage unit. The truck appeared to be full with a few large remaining items left to be loaded. I was concerned we would have to do a double back. Instead, two large items were placed in their cab (unbelievable) and the cal king mattress tied to the back of the truck!
When we were headed to our home, I received a phone call from Charlie concerned that the multiple stops we needed to do may not get completed by the end of the day and he offered to have another truck start at one of the other locations. I agreed and it was a great idea!
After 9 long hours, a crew of 4 men were helping me in my home. Putting felt under the art pieces or tables or chairs that may scratch the wooden floor and even repairing scratched wood (none of which I requested - they observed and asked if I would like it done - WOW - what service!). Putting together my large wooden-pole cal king bed proved to be a feat too - but they persevered and completed the task beautifully. Another hard task was maneuvering my 18' metal giraffe in the building and into my home - then volunteering to attach it to the wall for safety purposes - another WOW for service!
