Recent reviews
The movers were fast and efficient, and my wife and I were amazed at how well organized they were. They were also reasonably priced—another company’s quote was about $1,000 higher.
This was our first time using One Move Movers. Domingo, Rolando, and Miguel were the best movers I’ve worked with: fast but delicate, intuitive about safe packing, and able to disassemble and reassemble furniture.

Deborah Taylor, Google
From the beginning, this company was refreshingly communicative and supportive. Scheduling and paperwork were easy, and the moves went off without a hitch.
Negative The One Move Movers Reviews
Yelp
They broke our TV and patio table leg. Four people showed up, and the move took seven hours, including a one-hour break.
Yelp
An entertainment stand, expensive lamp, stereo amplifier, and end-table leg were damaged. The crew taped some items back together, which hid the damage from my attention.
Yelp
They estimated one truck and four guys for 10 hours, but used two trucks and four guys for 14 hours. The final bill was hundreds of dollars higher than the estimate.
Neutral The One Move Movers Reviews
W2HTLCA, Google
The first move exceeded expectations, but the second focused on speed. A lamp was damaged, and resolving a claim could not make up for the damage, repair time, and effort.
Yelp
The quote and process were easy, but movers scratched our bed frames and lost bookshelf parts. They were the cheapest in cost, but it came at a price.
Yelp
Photos supported a quote just under $10,000, but the weighed shipment cost about $15,000, roughly 30% higher. The master bed and a file cabinet also arrived damaged.
