5 stars rating12/29/2008 My son and I have used MLMOVERS 3 times for moving on the Peninsula.
Every time they have been professional, courteous, quick and very fairly priced. Any time we asked them for some extra help they were happy to accommodate us. I would highly recommend MLMOVERS for anyone moving in their area of service. Most important I would definitely use them again. Miguel and his crew are great!

4 stars rating10/12/2008 I found Laines movers now mlmovers on Yelp. Miguel Laines and his team are absolutely as terrific as all the other reviewers said. Miguel is very accommodating and easy to work with. They were ready to work right on time. My furniture was handled with care and everything went very smoothly. This was the easiest move that I've ever had! The price was quite reasonable, too.
Highly recommended

5 stars rating08/25/2008 Also was matched with Miguel by Mover Circle...Miguel and his team showed up early, were professional and efficient, and completed our move more quickly than we could have thought possible. Our new apartment required some tricky maneuvering to get couches to fit, etc., and Miguel was able to navigate it expertly. I definitely recommend Laines Moving Services - it took a lot of the stress out of moving.

This is my first review on yelp and I am proud to give Miguel 5 stars. His moving company is the best combination of courteous service, hard work, efficiency and PRICE! Miguel quoted me a fixed price which made me feel better about the total cost of my move. He and his guys had to tackle an extra stair case and he gave me boxes to pack with, but he didn't charge me extra. I have to say that this was my best move to date.

I decided to contact this company after reading reviews on yelp and was very pleased with the service. Miguel and his crew of 2 are very professional, prompt, and the price was reasonable. I had a bad experience on my last move with Chinese movers so this was a welcomed change.

These guys are amazing. I could give a 6 star rating but yelp would not allow me :-)
Miguel and his two colleagues showed up 30 mins early and were really good and completed my move fast and without breaking anything. They wrapped every fragile item and furniture perfectly and unwrapped and set up the furnitures properly at my new address.
I highly recommend them.

5 stars rating10/13/2008 I found Laines on Yelp. For a one bedroom move from Mountain View to Palo Alto, the quote is $300 vs $325 from Movers Circle. Miguel is prompt in replying my phone call and email which I appreciate.
On the moving day, Miguel and his crew came earlier than reserved time but I have all the boxes ready thus this is not a problem. The crew is very efficient. The whole move from loading to unloading is done within 20 hours. Dressers or drawers ..mattresses are all wrapped. Mirrors are wrapped with blanket. When unloading, as I don't want my brand new hardwood floor to be scratched or carpet to be dirty, they lie down blankets all the way to each room. Every movers handle my boxes and items carefully making sure they won't damage it. Only one accident happens with a lamp but that's okay. I'm very happy with this move

4 stars rating8/28/2008 I moved. So when I moved, I asked friends to help. Friends ended up having other things to do, so deep down in my penny pinching heart, I had a feeling they didn't want to help. So I hopped on Yelp and typed in "movers."
A last minute phone call, a same day appointment made(ON A SATURDAY none the less). I get a $240 dollar quote and 3 hours later, I was moved from E.P.A. to Pacifica.
Miguel Laines who I spoke with via phone, but didn't meet was polite and professional. The guys showed up five minutes late, but it was okay I wasn't completely packed.
Note though: CHECK YOUR ITEMS BEFORE AND AFTER MOVE b/c a few things were scratched/dented and a lamp shade ripped. :-(
So...what is a good tip for the movers? I thought...hm..no stairs and I didn't have that much crap. I am moving from a studio..not too bad. A twenty should suffice? Yay? Nay? I don't know but that is what I tipped.

5 stars rating1/13/2009 It was a very nice to have them do my move. They really wrap everything very well, didn't care that my job was small. They had the patience to wait for me finishing packing my belongings and they even took care on disposing my moving garbage, like a cal-king bed.
Thank you Miguel, and I will hire you guys again for my next move, which hopefully will be soon.

5 stars rating1/23/2009 I had a great experience with these guys. I used their packing + moving package and it was a flat rate of $725 for a 2br apt, no additional charges or surprises. Most places go hourly and their estimate was over $1200. Everything was done in 1 day, nothing was broken or scratched. I would highly recommend them.

5 stars rating2/2/2009 Miguel's moving services were professional, efficient, friendly, economical and I'd hire them again in a second. They arrived on time (10 minutes early!), had 3 movers to help the job move along, they even helped me finish packing my last few boxes, they wrapped all the furniture in protective blankets and wrap, and they were utterly professional the entire way through. Miguel used to work for a large moving company and then started his own business, so I felt good working with a locally-owned family business. The flat rate was a big incentive for me, too.
Highly recommended

5 stars rating2/3/2009 These guys were great! I was skeptical at first because of the reasonable flat rate to move all the way from Palo Alto to SF while everyone else was charging extra for the drive, extra for the stairs, extra for what seemed like everything. In the end, i was thrilled with ML Movers service! Two movers came on time at 8 am and worked HARD. They took very good care of the furniture, barely stopped for a break, and were very responsive to any requests. They were careful and quick. I would definitely use them again.

5 stars rating2/5/2009 These guys are great. We had them move my mother-in-law's stuff from storage to her new apartment, and then move the excess back to storage a week later. There were no surprise charges, and everything was done quickly and professionally. I just wish we had found them before we hired the very expensive national company to move her from Sacramento to storage earlier. They did a much better job for far less money. We will hire them next time from the get-go.

Miguel and his team are phantastic!
Thanks so much for making our move so easy & comfortable for us.
There's nothing more you could ask for: Very easy & prompt communication upfront, they showed up on time, were pretty fast, and they actually wrapped every single piece of furniture in plastic foil (as can be seen on one of their pics here) - thus making sure that really nothing gets damaged.
Thanks a ton, guys (and sorry for having so much heavy stuff... ;-) )
Our next move will definitively be with you again!

5 stars rating2/7/2009 This was hands down best moving experience of my life (and I hate moving)!! To start with, they were about 10 minutes early and called me to see if I was ready for them. I was still packing and told them that I would be ready in 5 minutes. When they arrived, they were smiling and very friendly. I signed the contract and it was exactly the amount that they said it would be (NO EXTRA CHARGES!) They were quick, hard-working, and helpful. You could tell that they enjoyed their job, which is a rare quality to find these days. My furniture was moved very speedily, but with a great amount of care and attention to making sure all furniture was securly packed. They didn't even complain about the super heavy boxes that I had packed!! (*Sorry guys*) The price was so reasonable too and definately worth every penny. If you are looking for an absolutely pain-free moving experience, these are the ML MOVERS are the guys for you! Highly recommended!

This last move, Mover Circle hooked me up with ML Movers and they were AMAZING! It was clear that they were experienced and knew what they were doing, so I could relax and not stress out. They wrapped up all my furniture in plastic wrap and blankets so nothing would get damaged and they communicated well along the way. They even spent extra time putting my bad frame together which was a real hassle, but they never complained. They were so polite and efficient. I am using them for my next move for sure!!!

This was a local look up on yelp .needed to move a few things , these guy's are outstanding ,fast , efficient. moving anything these day's can be taxing on body , seems like everything is not only costing more but it's getting heavier or maybe I'm getting older!
Nice to see young movers that KNOW what they are doing.
it's like old school, watching them wrap and stack , they know what they are doing.... Thanks guy's i will be using you again.

He and his crew showed up on time. They were professional, courteous and efficient! Our plan had been to pack one day and move the next - amazingly Miguel and his team were able to accomplish it all in one day!
Many thanks to Miguel and his team. It was a pleasure to be around his upbeat, hardworking and congenial crew.
We'll definitely use his services again!

4 stars rating 4/2/2009 Overall I had a positive experience. I was disappointed that none of the movers that day spoke much English, so I used hand motions. The biggest disappointment was the truck was not big enough to move our small three bedroom house across town. So we had to make TWO trips that day (luckily we were only moving 10 minutes away). This probably added another hour and a half to the day. However, they worked through without a lunch break and nothing was broken. All three guys were really nice and I was glad I'd chosen them. Make sure you have cash or a check as they don't take credit cards.

I actually had to let them know they could be less careful with a few forgettable items. All in all a good experience and for a very reasonable rate. I wish them continued success and highly recommend them.

They were very diligent in protecting all of our furniture with plastic wrap and were sure to unwrap all the pieces at our new home. They broke down all of our beds and reassembled them on site. Price was very reasonable. I have no complaints and would definitely refer them.

However, we were very happy with our moves and with ML Movers. I chose ML Movers over several other companies based on the reviews I read on http://Yelp.com. I found out that all the positive attributes described on http://Yelp.com about this company are true. The crew of 3 men came to our house ahead of the appointment time (an hour earlier!). From start to finish, Raul (the foreman) and his crew worked very hard. They took all the time necessary to pack each item very carefully. The price was also extremely reasonable. I highly recommend ML Movers!

I have more love for ML movers! I just moved last weekend and they made the whole experience so much more pleasant than it usually is.
We got packers too -- so 2 women and the 3 men were busy packing, wrapping things up and did it quickly but carefully. They were totally professional and all of our things were moved in perfect condition.
And the best part was there were no hidden charges. We agreed on a flat fee from the get go and that was all we paid (plus tip, which they completely deserved). Unlike our last movers, they used all new boxes and packing paper and wrap -- and they didn't charge a dime for it.
All in all, I cant recommend them enough. Great folks and great deal!

Nothing was broken or scratched (including about 700 bottles of wine), and we had a few tricky things to move (like a springless king mattress that has no structure and flops around like dead weight) and they got it done without issue.
Best of all, you get what you expect. Fair price, on time, no hassles.

ML Movers did a fantastic job moving a high quality bedroom set. They arrived 15 minutes early to the pick-up location. When the set arrived at my home it was well-wrapped, especially the mirror. They were efficient and very professional. Not only did they not scratch the wood floor, walls or furniture, they reassembled the set without any prompting from us. I would definitely refer them to anyone in need of movers or use them again myself.
I can't praise them enough!

I have been dreading my move. The upright piano was still at my mother's house, and the rest of the furniture was in my home. Both involved a flight of stairs. We were moving from Redwood City to Moss Beach. I thought it was going to be expensive.
When I called Miguel he told me that he had a flat rate depending on the size of the house and this much more for an extra stop. Keep in mind that the extra stop was a PIANO. We had already packed all of the personal stuff into boxes and used a POD to move this stuff to our new home. I asked him since we had done this, would his men be willing to help us empty our POD after they were done moving the furniture? He actually offered a reduced price instead based on the amount of time this would likely cut off their work day. We took it GLADLY. As it turns out, he cost about 100 dollars more than some guys that I hired 5 years ago to move for four hours. These previous movers, who were a little less expensive, did not move the piano, damaged my floors, and complained the entire time they had to go up and down our stairs. ML movers offered a GREAT PRICE for all that we had them move.
As cheap as I am, my favorite part of the experience was being around these movers. I have had movers before complain about how heavy my furniture is as they scrape my floors etc. These guys were literally whistling and singing as they carried stuff up and down the flight of stairs. My husband and I were in the garage watching them in shock at how pleasant they were.
They actually beat us over the hill to our new home, and called us to see if we were coming soon. They did not take a single break, but just busted it out.
They moved a lot of heavy stuff up and down a flight of stairs in less than 5 hours with the extra stop.
They showed up a little early, better than on time.
They would not let me pay them until they were done, and only asked for the negotiated price.
They wrapped everything in plastic, and my furniture looked better after they were done with it then before.
Both homes have hard wood floors, and they did not leave a mark anywhere. They used blankets to protect my doorframes when moving large objects between rooms.
They were so wonderful that we were forced to tip them generously because they far exceeded any expectations I have ever had and I have worked with professional movers a number of times in my life.

ML Movers were the best value for price movers ever.
My husband and I have moved 5 times in the past 7 years. We have had cheaper movers that broke stuff, and fantastic movers who were very expensive. ML Movers were just right.
Plus they were incredibly fast and, when I had more stuff than they anticipated, they called in a second team to help unload at our new home..at no charge.
Great value and very careful with our stuff. Tip well, everyone--these guys deserve it.

I would use them again for my next move and would recommend their services.

My move was a little complicated -- I needed to move half of my stuff to a storage unit in Redwood City, and the rest to my new place in SF. Roberto, Alfredo & Imer got completely lost when trying to find my place up in the Santa Cruz mountains. I felt bad when they told me about the one-lane road they ended up taking in that gigantic 24' moving truck. They were very apologetic; it really was no problem.
Very fast, careful, and didn't seem to need to take any breaks. They wrapped all the large furniture in plastic to avoid any damage. All had a great sense of humor and never complained about the weight of some of the furniture or boxes.
Miguel is very responsive via e-mail if you're not a phone person.
Highly recommended -- I'll be calling ML Movers for my next move

The team of 3 headed by Raul showed up at 8:40am, 20 minutes early for the move from Palo Alto to San Francisco. The move was priced at $375. I was still finishing up packing! Raul plastic wrapped all the furniture components so they would not get damaged. The 2 other guys hauled everything out in 2 hours. I had confirmed an additional stop at my boyfriend's apartment in SF for $25 (usually $50, but it was only a few items). The additional stop took only a few minutes, and we were on our way to the final destination. The apartment was on the 3rd floor, no elevator, and the guys busted their asses for us! I felt so badly for them that I tried to help as much as I can. Raul remained in the truck so I felt safe that my stuff wouldn't get stolen. The job took 5 hours. We got them lunches so the team would be able to rest before their next job. These guys were simply amazing, honest and strong.

Hire ML movers! Booked online after yelp reviews as new to the area. I have moved 15 times, 5 different states, and this was a smooth no-nonsense move. 3 guys hustled, took two trips with the 24 ft truck and no complaints or extra charges. I used their packing services and they were good too. Packing day about six hours, on-time crew (I had moved the kitchen myself). Day of move, on-time crew worked 9-6pm including the two trips. I paid $1250 for pack and move a three bedroom house with a full garage, tools, etc...--$150 tip and lunch and snacks to keep the crew happy...highly recommend. As previously mentioned, limited English, but this crew understands pretty well, wraps every piece of furniture. Only one criticism...did not put down floor protection for hardwood, but no big scratches noticed.

I found these guys as highly rated on Yelp... A bit more expensive than other quotes, but it was a flat-rate fee, and that was indeed what was paid.
The guys showed up a little early for a Sunday move, and with an included stop at an upstairs storage locker took just over 3 hours to move the contents of my large 2BR condo. These guys were strong, professional and friendly. They worked their butts off, and deserved every penny. Nothing was damaged in the move despite some crazy navigation of stairways... Highly recommended

ML Movers completed a for us in March 2009. They were fast, efficient and very friendly. I highly recommend them. We have used 3 other bay area moving services at other times, and ML Movers was the best by far. Their focus is on speed, so make sure you pack your belongings very well. The flat rate makes an incredible difference. Oh, and don't forget to tip--it will still be cheaper than everyone else, and these guys work hard.

5 stars rating 6/8/2009 I'm typing this review on my iPhone as the movers are currently at work. At first I was a little wary due to their competitive pricing. After all the positive AND recent reviews, I decided to give it a go! I am very impressed with their professionalism. My appointment was at 9:00am and they showed up on time (actually a little early). I gave them a walk around of my two bed two bath condo + storage and they got started immediately.
I hired ML Movers for pack and move service. I did this mainly as I don't trust myself with my glass / crystal-ware. They are VERY careful and pay good attention to detail. All furniture was wrapped with protection cloth, taped up, then shrink wrapped tight. I have a large china cabinet that they disassembled. Each cup / plate was individually wrapped (took a long time but everything arrived safely).
The workers were delightful and very willing to help. I have so much stuff that they actually sent over 3 more people (from 4 to 7) to help expedite the process. While moving the huge LG laundry machine to the new house, they did damage the wood floor a little - who wouldn't?!? Immediately, Miguel came over to look at the damage. It was small and I'm sure I would have done much worse if I moved it myself. He sent a repair guy over the next day to take care of the floor!!! That's service! Make sure to tip each of the main workers well, they DESERVE it!!! Thanks ML Movers and I'll be sure to use your services again / refer friends and family to you!!!

5 stars rating 6/6/2009 ML Movers moved us from Redwood City to San Francisco. ML was professional and made the stress of moving bareable. The movers wrapped our furniture in plastic; which was great because someone had pooed in the elevator of old building the morning of our move. The poo had been cleaned by the time of our move, but it was comforting to know that our stuff was insulated from any remaining poo particles.
I highly recommend this company. Also, tip the movers generously, they work very hard.

All the other movers I spoke to said at least eight hours (that's what you get when you pay by the hour). They wrapped every piece of furniture and didn't break a thing.
The price was extremely reasonable so we gave them a big tip- they definitely deserved it. I highly recommend them

They expertly wrapped all my furniture in plastic wrap, and did a great job of getting even the largest couch out of the house without a problem. I moved from Palo Alto to an apartment and a storage unit in Foster City, and they did a wonderful job getting all my stuff to fit into the small storage unit. And they did everything fairly quickly. They did not take any breaks, and worked non-stop.
I would use them again in a heartbeat!

I felt bad when they told me about the one-lane road they ended up taking in that gigantic 24' moving truck. They were very apologetic; it really was no problem.
Very fast, careful, and didn't seem to need to take any breaks. They wrapped all the large furniture in plastic to avoid any damage. All had a great sense of humor and never complained about the weight of some of the furniture or boxes.
Miguel is very responsive via e-mail if you're not a phone person.
Highly recommended -- I'll be calling ML Movers for my next move

The team of 3 headed by Raul showed up at 8:40am, 20 minutes early for the move from Palo Alto to San Francisco. The move was priced at $375. I was still finishing up packing! Raul plastic wrapped all the furniture components so they would not get damaged. The 2 other guys hauled everything out in 2 hours. I had confirmed an additional stop at my boyfriend's apartment in SF for $25 (usually $50, but it was only a few items). The additional stop took only a few minutes, and we were on our way to the final destination. The apartment was on the 3rd floor, no elevator, and the guys busted their asses for us! I felt so badly for them that I tried to help as much as I can. Raul remained in the truck so I felt safe that my stuff wouldn't get stolen. The job took 5 hours. We got them lunches so the team would be able to rest before their next job. These guys were simply amazing, honest and strong.

Hire ML movers! Booked online after yelp reviews as new to the area. I have moved 15 times, 5 different states, and this was a smooth no-nonsense move. 3 guys hustled, took two trips with the 24 ft truck and no complaints or extra charges. I used their packing services and they were good too. Packing day about six hours, on-time crew (I had moved the kitchen myself). Day of move, on-time crew worked 9-6pm including the two trips. I paid $1250 for pack and move a three bedroom house with a full garage, tools, etc...--$150 tip and lunch and snacks to keep the crew happy...highly recommend. As previously mentioned, limited English, but this crew understands pretty well, wraps every piece of furniture. Only one criticism...did not put down floor protection for hardwood, but no big scratches noticed.

I found these guys as highly rated on Yelp... A bit more expensive than other quotes, but it was a flat-rate fee, and that was indeed what was paid.
The guys showed up a little early for a Sunday move, and with an included stop at an upstairs storage locker took just over 3 hours to move the contents of my large 2BR condo. These guys were strong, professional and friendly. They worked their butts off, and deserved every penny. Nothing was damaged in the move despite some crazy navigation of stairways... Highly recommended

ML Movers completed a for us in March 2009. They were fast, efficient and very friendly. I highly recommend them. We have used 3 other bay area moving services at other times, and ML Movers was the best by far. Their focus is on speed, so make sure you pack your belongings very well. The flat rate makes an incredible difference. Oh, and don't forget to tip--it will still be cheaper than everyone else, and these guys work hard.

5 stars rating 6/8/2009 I'm typing this review on my iPhone as the movers are currently at work. At first I was a little wary due to their competitive pricing. After all the positive AND recent reviews, I decided to give it a go! I am very impressed with their professionalism. My appointment was at 9:00am and they showed up on time (actually a little early). I gave them a walk around of my two bed two bath condo + storage and they got started immediately.
I hired ML Movers for pack and move service. I did this mainly as I don't trust myself with my glass / crystal-ware. They are VERY careful and pay good attention to detail. All furniture was wrapped with protection cloth, taped up, then shrink wrapped tight. I have a large china cabinet that they disassembled. Each cup / plate was individually wrapped (took a long time but everything arrived safely).
The workers were delightful and very willing to help. I have so much stuff that they actually sent over 3 more people (from 4 to 7) to help expedite the process. While moving the huge LG laundry machine to the new house, they did damage the wood floor a little - who wouldn't?!? Immediately, Miguel came over to look at the damage. It was small and I'm sure I would have done much worse if I moved it myself. He sent a repair guy over the next day to take care of the floor!!! That's service! Make sure to tip each of the main workers well, they DESERVE it!!! Thanks ML Movers and I'll be sure to use your services again / refer friends and family to you!!!

5 stars rating 6/6/2009 ML Movers moved us from Redwood City to San Francisco. ML was professional and made the stress of moving bareable. The movers wrapped our furniture in plastic; which was great because someone had pooed in the elevator of old building the morning of our move. The poo had been cleaned by the time of our move, but it was comforting to know that our stuff was insulated from any remaining poo particles.
I highly recommend this company. Also, tip the movers generously, they work very hard.

5 stars rating 6/8/2009 These guys are amazing. We moved from San Francisco to Menlo Park and the entire move took only five and a half hours. All the other movers I spoke to said at least eight hours (that's what you get when you pay by the hour). They wrapped every piece of furniture and didn't break a thing.
The price was extremely reasonable so we gave them a big tip- they definitely deserved it. I highly recommend them

5 stars rating 6/10/2009 These guys are fantastic. They are professional, courteous, and on time. In fact, they arrived 30 minutes early! And their price is unbeatable. They expertly wrapped all my furniture in plastic wrap, and did a great job of getting even the largest couch out of the house without a problem. I moved from Palo Alto to an apartment and a storage unit in Foster City, and they did a wonderful job getting all my stuff to fit into the small storage unit. And they did everything fairly quickly. They did not take any breaks, and worked non-stop.
I would use them again in a heartbeat!

And they were professional and courteous. Unbeatable price, great service - 'nuff said

5 stars rating 7/9/2009 I DREAD moving, and ML Movers made it easy ... I highly recommend them! I had them pack and move my 1 bedroom apartment, from Foster City to San Mateo. They did a great job!
I found ML Movers on Yelp. They had exceptional ratings from past customers, so I decided to try them out. I especially liked their simple pricing (ML Movers quoted a fixed amount for both the packing and move vs an hourly rate). This was huge for me, because I really don't like worrying about if the movers are stalling or wasting time to increase their hrs worked. Also, I felt the quoted fixed amount was extremely reasonable.
Miguel was very professional and prompt in responding to my questions. He and his 2 man crew showed up exactly at the scheduled time, did a great job of packing my stuff (better than I could have done), and worked very hard, non-stop the entire time. They laid down floor protection at both my old apartment and my new apartment. They blanket wrapped/plastic wrapped all my furniture. And overall, they were extremely careful with my stuff. Seriously, they were probably more careful with my stuff than I could have been!
These guys really made my move a breeze ... I would definitely use them again and again. Awesome job Miguel and team!

5 stars rating 7/9/2009 ML Movers gave me a fixed rate quote to move a 2 bedroom apartment from Santa Clara to San Jose. They were considerate and caring and the cost was very reasonable. The three men did an exceptional job and worked very hard. I didn't have them do my packing but they wrapped anything that might be damaged. I provided food and beverages and tips for the movers. They appreciated it and they certainly earned it. I highly recommend these fellows.

I would use ML Movers again highly recommend them to anyone looking to move. My furniture is very large, we have an upright piano, we had lots of stuff. As the afternoon wore on I could tell we were all tired but they kept their cool and were courteous throughout. They deserved the big tip they received!!

5 stars rating 7/10/2009 This was my first time hiring movers and I was not disappointed with ML Movers. They were extremely professional and thorough.
I spoke to Miguel on the phone and he gave me the most competitive price among the top yelp rated movers in the bay area ($275 for studio + $75 for an additional stop). For my move from Palo Alto to SF and relatively light amount of furniture, their flat rate was the most economical!
The day of the move, two movers showed up with a very large truck on time. They provide 2 wardrobe boxes for free, which was just enough for all of my clothes. They carefully wrapped my furniture & fragile pieces with plastic wrap and cardboard boxes if needed. I was amazed at how quickly they were able to haul my boxes to the truck and secure them safely using straps, etc. in the truck. I think they wanted to speed things up and asked another mover to join in mid-morning (which I of course didn't mind).
They efficiently unloaded the truck at my new apartment, set up my bed and dining table without being asked, and asked me where the pieces of furniture should be placed.
All in all, they were fantastic. I highly recommend them!

Believe me, they deserve ten stars. My husband and I had to move unexpectedly within a week and were panicking about how to pack and do everything on a weekend without taking time off work (we both just started new jobs less than a year ago). We decided to "splurge" on the packing service for the first time ever if it wasn't outrageous. I called two movers, one of them Miguel Laines just from the Yelp reviews. He called me back within 20 minutes, asked a few questions about our place, how large, how many bedrooms, were there stairs, elevator, etc, and then bingo! quoted me an amazingly affordable flat rate and sent me a confirmation for that Saturday. As everyone here has said, they are EXTREMELY reliable - showed up before 8am and it is a cute family operation. Two people packed every single thing we owned - so carefully and thoroughly in under four hours while my husband and I sat in the backyard and did all our change of address stuff. Then the big strong movers arrived and were just as efficient and pleasant.We were entirely moved into our new place by 3pm on the same day.OF course, we tipped the movers and packers generously. I've moved 7 times in the past 10 years and this is without a doubt the best experience I've ever had.

They moved all of our stuff out of our SF apartment (lots of stairs), across the bay to Oakland, and into our new house in under 4 hours. Everything was wrapped carefully (even my junky stuff) and it all showed up in perfect condition at our new house. They even set up the bed just as we had it at our old apartment. Overall, I was VERY impressed!

4 stars rating 7/12/2009 Really professional, on time, nice, hardworking guys. I would use them again. I'd reccomend that you have them look at your house first and
give you an estimate and not just do it over the phone if you have alot
of stuff because even though they looked at it, they underestimated
and had to make two trips but were very prompt and we weren't charged
extra. They have set prices, but the estimate was higher once Miguel
actually came over to look at what we had to move. Once the price was set, they were the least expensive than the other 2 estimates and there were no hidden fees. Also I really liked the fact that they don't charged by
the hour, so you know exactly what the price is and they work steady only breaking when I got us all lunch. They were very respectful and easy to work with.
All our stuff arrived in good shape

They arrived actually a little earlier then expected, which to me was a good thing. Although the contract stated 2 movers, they sent 3. The move was pretty fast but safe. They properly wrapped all my furniture and my TV with blankets. They also disassembled/reassembled some of them. Nothing was lost or damaged. They were very careful, focused and respectful. At the end, I just paid the contracted price (no hidden fees or additional charges) + tip. It had a really good experience. I definitely recommend ML Movers!

The price I was quoted was very reasonable. They carefully wrapped all the furniture and television in blankets and shrink wrap. They carefully disassembled and reassembled the beds and our large desk. Everything was placed in the appropriate room in our new house. I am more than happy with ML Movers. They ran a bit over time at our house and were late for their next appointment, but did not rush and thoroughly finished our move first. I paid the flat fee + a well-deserved tip. We've moved twice in the past 2 years with a large national moving company, and the moves cost 5x more in each case (though these were interstate) and the movers weren't half as good or pleasant. I highly recommend ML Movers.

great idea and service.
I got 3 guys, 2 have been great, one was a bit novice I think and managed to break a lamp. didn't care too much, and old $20 lamp you get when you rent places in the city, but that is the only reason why I give 4 stars:
1. I played it cool and told the guy it doesn't matter, but he did not tell the other 2 (I am not sure if and who of the 3 is more of the supervisor in the team)
2. they didn't offer any compensation when they basically broke it.
again, I gave al the same tip I was going to give, and would hire them again, just that little thing can/could be handled better.

5 star rating 7/22/2009 We hired ML Movers to transport property from a studio and an apartment (both on the Peninsula) to a condominium in the South Bay after reading reviews on yelp.com. All the reviews were positive, with exception for being "overly punctual." We were quoted a flat rate for the job (self-pack) and a minimal amount extra for an additional stop. (Convenient cell phone communication was utilized.)
Our 10 a.m. meeting began a little early--before 8:30 a.m.--but it meant we were able to finish our moving process that much sooner. The two movers quickly and diligently wrapped large furniture in plastic and moving blankets and transported them down to a 24-foot truck. Tiny elevator, flight of stairs and winding pathway were no obstacle. They didn't even take a break. We offered the men water after we'd reached our destination and they each took a bottle and continued working.
Only after everything was moved in did we pay for the service and sign an agreement of completion. We offered the movers sandwiches, which they took as they left after a job well done. We highly recommend ML Movers for a local move in the Bay Area.

5 stars rating 7/26/2009 I have moved several times over the last two years and dealt with 2 larger moving companies. United from the East coast to SoCal and Atlas from SoCal to NorCal and both moves were company coordinated and funded. When it came to move from the Peninsula to East Bay, I was expecting to pay ~$1000 for a 2bed apt (pack ourselves). After seeing the positive yelp reviews for Pat Ryan and ML Movers I decided to get quotes. ML was $500 less so it was a no-brainer, although skepticism was high. I am happy to report that ML was on-time, friendly, curteous, quick and gently handled our furniture and boxes even though it was a very hot day. In fact, I couldn't tell they were not some larger overpriced moving company. I would definitely recommend ML Movers and would not hesitate to use them again.

5 stars rating 7/26/2009 I moved a few times during the past 20 years. Without a doubt we had the best moving experience with MLMOVERS. They did a fantastic job. No hidden costs. They are very professional, came on time and were careful in moving our stuff. Would highly recommend them. Moguel is an awesome guy!

5 stars rating 7/22/2009 Could ML Movers be any more careful, efficient, well-priced, or friendly? We think not! Miguel and his team helped us move last fall, and they did a beyond fantastic job. They were on time, courteous, and not one item was scratched, dinged or broken. Don't even waste time looking for other movers or cost comparing--they are the best!

5 star rating 7/22/2009 We hired ML Movers to transport property from a studio and an apartment (both on the Peninsula) to a condominium in the South Bay after reading reviews on yelp.com. All the reviews were positive, with exception for being "overly punctual." We were quoted a flat rate for the job (self-pack) and a minimal amount extra for an additional stop. (Convenient cell phone communication was utilized.)
Our 10 a.m. meeting began a little early--before 8:30 a.m.--but it meant we were able to finish our moving process that much sooner. The two movers quickly and diligently wrapped large furniture in plastic and moving blankets and transported them down to a 24-foot truck. Tiny elevator, flight of stairs and winding pathway were no obstacle. They didn't even take a break. We offered the men water after we'd reached our destination and they each took a bottle and continued working.
Only after everything was moved in did we pay for the service and sign an agreement of completion. We offered the movers sandwiches, which they took as they left after a job well done. We highly recommend ML Movers for a local move in the Bay Area.

5 stars rating 7/26/2009 I have moved several times over the last two years and dealt with 2 larger moving companies. United from the East coast to SoCal and Atlas from SoCal to NorCal and both moves were company coordinated and funded. When it came to move from the Peninsula to East Bay, I was expecting to pay ~$1000 for a 2bed apt (pack ourselves). After seeing the positive yelp reviews for Pat Ryan and ML Movers I decided to get quotes. ML was $500 less so it was a no-brainer, although skepticism was high.

5 stars rating 8/2/2009 I've been meaning to write this review for a while, these guys are awesome. They helped me move from Nob Hill to Soma back in April 2009, and I couldn't have asked for better service. On average, I move about every 1.5 years, and have tried many different moving companies. The self-proclaimed professional and expensive ones, as well as the cheap (think craigslist/picking ppl off the street) type.
Over the past 7-8 years, none of them compared to ML movers.
They patiently wrapped my furniture, mattresses with care, and were very polite and efficient. After loading up the truck, they followed my car to the new apartment. The short 3 mile drive ended up taking almost 40 minutes due to market street being blocked off. There was not one word of complaint or look of dismay. By the time we arrived at my new location, they were way behind schedule and had another 2 bedroom to get to that afternoon in the Southbay. The time constraint did not affect their friendly service. The guys made sure my furniture was placed exactly where I wanted, set up my bed, unwrapped the plastic wraps, and even made sure all the trash was disposed. I didn't have to worry about a thing.
The asking price for their service is definitely below market. I did my best to tip them well and would recommend them to everyone.

4 stars rating 8/8/09 My overall moving experience with ML Movers was pleasant.The movers were on time and organized which was a nice start. We tried to speed up the process by having most of our things in the garage for easy moving. They quoted us a flat rate, which included insurance. It was great to not have to worry about the move time. That really helped to alleviate some of the moving stress. When they arrived to the new place, even though things were clearly labeled, they still had to ask were almost everything went. I felt a little overwhelmed trying to man the door and move boxes out of walkways. The reason why I gave them 3 stars was due to the fact that they damaged 2 pieces of furniture. Their contract does state that you MUST check ALL of your furniture for damage before the movers leave. That is the only way that they will cover or be liable for damages. I did tell them about one piece and he dismissed it. Due to having to direct 3 movers to where each box went, I decided to just have them put all the boxes in the living room to speed things up. They piled boxes in front the other damaged piece of furniture. The piece was damaged on the bottom corners pointed away from eye view. I didn't notice this until later that night and called right away. I did not hear back and called the next morning to report the damage and was totally dismissed, due to the contract. I tried to explain my situation to Miguel and was told he would not do anything for me. My boyfriend later called and Miguel agreed to send someone to repair the damaged pieces. I was fine with having someone fix them and wasn't looking to have them replaced, even though they were purchased new from crate and barrel under two years ago. Miguel told us that the gentleman would be out Friday, August 7th at 6pm. Well, we are still waiting 24 hours later. We didn't receive a call or explanation of the cancellation which I feel was very unprofessional. I do feel that the movers did a good job, but am disappointed by the lack of assistance. If you choose to use ML movers. PLEASE CHECK EVERY PIECE OF FURNITURE BEFORE THEY LEAVE. Otherwise, they will not be liable for damage.
Updated - 8/13/2009 ML Movers made good on their word to fix my furniture. Miguel scheduled the repair guy to come to my place yesterday. The work made the damage almost disappear. I am happy with them overall and appreciate them making things right. I will refer people to them in the future.

5 stars rating 8/14/2009 I called them on a Friday afternoon hoping that they can help me move in the next 2 days. I've never used movers, this was a total last minute idea. They had an opening the next day and I couldn't have asked for better movers. They came about 15-20 minutes early and were very friendly and professional. They wrapped the furniture meticulously, nothing broke and nothing was damaged. They worked efficiently and tirelessly taking my furniture up the stairs, as well as setting it exactly where I wanted. The $450 was well worth it!!

5 stars rating 8/24/2009 I meant to write this review sooner but I'm still unpacking and getting settled since May. Like most of the reviews here, I recommend ML Movers very highly. Hire them and they'll take the stress and strain off of you. Their flat rate instead of "by the hour" (including the gas and travel time) is a major plus.
I paid a lot of money but it's worth every penny for my peace of mind, and my physical well being. (Note however they do not take credit cards.)
My move was monumental and Miguel accepted the challenge instead of running for the hills. I had to vacate a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage single family house filled with furniture and things I accumulated after living there for 18 years. I also had a backyard with plants and pottery and whatnot's.
I called Miguel after reading the reviews on YELP. I called on a Friday and on Sunday afternoon; he came out to the house and gave me an estimate for packing and moving. The following Wednesday, Miguel arrived with his team of 7 men and two large trucks. They were at my door at 8am and brought all the packing materials, and boxes. They packed all of my stuff in two days (over 340 medium to large boxes). They wrapped the dishes, the furniture, and framed pictures in plastic wrap. They were especially careful with my piano and grandfather clock. They moved me out of my old place and into my new place in 3 days.
For my unwanted items and trash, Miguel recommended a hauler (which was an additional fee for the truck and hauling service) but he provided the labor of his team to load it up at no extra cost. I couldn't believe that these guys did all that work so quickly, and even vacuumed the rooms, and cleaned the garage floor when they were done.
On the downside (and there always is a downside) a slight drawback is the language issue. Miguel speaks good English. The other guys are limited in the English language. If you know someone who speaks Spanish, it will be wise to have them help communicate on your behalf to make sure everything goes smoothly. Be aware that they label the boxes room by room, but not the contents within. Also I've found that the quality of packing is limited to the person doing the packing. Most of the boxes were packed neatly and carefully, but some were not. Things broke but I guess that is par for the course in any move. Miguel told me to make a list of the ruined and broken items and he'll replace or reimburse me. Since I haven't gone through all the boxes yet, I haven't completed the list but so far the ratio of breakage compared to the total moved is nominal.
Miguel is a man of his word and will make good his word. I know this because his workers marked up some of my personal boxes, and plastic bins with a black marking pen. I think this is attributed to the language issue or just one guy going pen happy. However, when I complained to Miguel, he paid me compensation there and then for his worker's mistake.
In the whole big picture as far as I'm concerned, these guys were heaven sent and nothing short of angels. They're hard workers courteous, professional and simply GREAT! In closing, keep your friends and hire ML Movers. They're the way to go!

5 stars rating 9/2/2009 Booked ML Movers through Mover Circle to do a Friday move all of one mile from the Castro to Ashbury Heights. Mover Circle were effortless to book the service through, and the 3 guys turned up on time and were courteous and professional.
They packed some last minute bits and bobs, and went to town with Saran wrap and blankets on every piece of furniture. The move came in within the estimate of 7 hours (for an 1800 sq ft 2 bed). Two pieces of damage:
1. A vase with bamboo plant wasn't emptied of water so it spilled in transit onto an expensive mattress, and they tried to clean without notifying me which could have ended up with a bad ass biohazard smell if we didn't notice and nuke with antibacterial febreeze. A bit of a freak mishap, but would have been good to have been told, rather than just trying to fix it.
2. A concrete coffee table got cracked, but after a few emails with Miguel the general manager, we were reimbursed at retail replacement value - seeing as it couldn't be repaired.
All effortless, and add the marketing adage that when a company efficiently deals with your problems in a great way it creates even more lovalty is true. Would definitely recommend these guys to anyone - an effortless moving experience from start to finish! Let's face it - not the least stressful thing to have to do. So 4.5 stars just because of the mattress, but they deserve the 5 stars and the generous tip / lunch for the effort and professionalism.
Now if only they could make the effort of a move proportional to distance, my next one-miler will be a lot easier...

5 stars rating 9/4/2009 Our move was only made possible by ML Movers, we were very unorganized and difficult to move. Miguel came through for us when we needed him the most. I have hired ML movers twice now and I have been VERY happy each time. I would highly recommend this company for all your moving needs. Miguel sent extra trucks and movers when it became clear we had way more stuff than originally agreed upon. The price was extremely fair and inexpensive. Thanks very much to Miguel and his entire crew of great movers. Awesome work.

5 stars rating 9/3/2009 Found ML Movers from Yelp. 5 stars. We were not disappointed. I changed the move date couple times without any problem. They showed up on time, 9:00 am sharp. 4 movers as promised. It was a big job. It ended up with two trips (30 miles one way) because their 30' truck couldn't hold all our stuff. The move was not done till 9:00 pm. 12 hours of hard work. And all 4 guys were still smiling at the end of the day. We've moved many times across CA in the past few years. ML has the best service and standard that I've seen. Their fix price scheme is extremely competitive. We paid almost 50% tips at the end. They earned it.

5 stars rating 9/4/2009 Absolutely effortless move. I got more than I wanted. My fiancee booked them for me since I was handling the move all alone. But I am simply amazed by the professionalism of the three people who packed and moved everything for me from Fremont to San Francisco They even helped me packed last minute stuff that I had. I will gladly hire them again if I need moving services and will definitely recommend their services to others.

5 stars rating 9/10/2009 ML Movers were recommended to me by a friend who had used them before. She mentioned that they do a flat rate move and also a flat rate packing service. As we had a huge amount of crap in our place we booked the packing service. Miguel promised two guys, and 4 showed up about 15 minutes late for our move from SJ to redwood city. Miguel called me to let me know they were stuck in traffic - but on the way - this was a nice touch. For our flat rate fee the guys packed over 60 large boxes in 6 hours. They took care with most stuff and wrapped it well (one broken glass and one broken jug from the whole move). The guys were all friendly and courteous and worked non stop without a break for lunch (we provided it - they kept working as they ate). They were really helpful and with a bit of direction got all of the boxes and furniture in the right room at our new place. I also used ML movers to move a second place from SF to redwood city. this involved lowering a large couch by rope from a 4th floor balcony. The three guys who came were fully prepared with ropes and padding and took great care of the couch. They secured it and lowered it gently to the ground. These guys were well worth the money (especially the flat rate with all the hours they spent - i saved over $1000 on other companies who quoted $50 per hour per man.) I would highly recommend these guys and would be happy to use them again.

We used ML Movers when moving from a one-bedroom house to a two-bedroom house a few miles across town. Three guys and a big truck showed up 30 minutes early for their scheduled 9am start time, and they jumped right into action. I know other reviewers have said this, but it's just amazing how quickly they empied the house of boxes. Once they started on the furniture the pace slowed a bit, but that was because they took the time to carefully wrap everything in blankets and plastic. They only took a very short lunch break en route to the new place, and were waiting and ready to unload by the time we got there. One of us had to stand at the front door pretty much the whole time to direct them where to put boxes and furniture, since they want to put things right where you want them. It was pretty hectic with three guys carting things in at a really rapid pace, but once again all of our stuff was handled with care.
This was a long day for them, almost 6 hours of hustling their asses off (which gives an indication of just how much we had crammed into a 1-bedroom place), and we were completely happy with the service. Everyone was friendly and courteous. They even helped to partially dismantle and reassemble a large piece of furniture that couldn't quite make it through a hallway corner in the new house. It was also great to not have to worry about taking apart and putting together our bed frame.
This was our first time hiring professional movers, and it was SO worth the money. The next time we move we will absolutely call ML Movers again, and would not hesitate to recommend them to all of our friends and family. These guys are the best!

One of us had to stand at the front door pretty much the whole time to direct them where to put boxes and furniture, since they want to put things right where you want them. It was pretty hectic with three guys carting things in at a really rapid pace, but once again all of our stuff was handled with care.
This was a long day for them, almost 6 hours of hustling their asses off (which gives an indication of just how much we had crammed into a 1-bedroom place), and we were completely happy with the service. Everyone was friendly and courteous. They even helped to partially dismantle and reassemble a large piece of furniture that couldn't quite make it through a hallway corner in the new house. It was also great to not have to worry about taking apart and putting together our bed frame.
This was our first time hiring professional movers, and it was SO worth the money. The next time we move we will absolutely call ML Movers again, and would not hesitate to recommend them to all of our friends and family. These guys are the best!

5 stars rating 9/14/2009 These guys were great. They charged a flat rate for a 2 bedroom apartment move. They showed up 20 minutes early and immediately got to business. Carefully wrapped and padded all furniture. Assembled and Disassembled necessary pieces. The whole time they were extremely courteous and professional.
I highly recommend them!

5 stars rating 9/16/2009 I just completed a move from Redwood City to Milpitas and found that this mover provided excellent service. Although the arrival time for my move date was scheduled at 9:00am, the three employees arrived at 8:25 and started work immediately.
The move was scheduled for 6-7 hours. It was completed in 6 1/2 hours for a flat rate plus tip and minimal fuss. All furniture was wrapped disassembled, if needed, placed in the instructed positions in the new home and reassembled with no issues. There was initially a slight communication issue, but once communication was established, the rest of the move went superbly.
I have another move scheduled soon and will use them again for move number 2.
Highly recommended!!

5 stars rating 9/23/2009 We recently moved to a bigger apartment, and decided that it was time to hire professional movers rather than ask friends for help. ML Movers were cheap and did a great job! They sent two people who showed up on time, moved everything in 3.5 hours (including my piano!!!), never complained about anything, and did not damage anything even though both apartments had hardwood floors. My husband and I highly recommend these guys!

4 stars rating 9/26/2009 First off, no one gets 5 stars from me on yelp unless it's truly a life changing, earth shattering experience. So my 4 stars for ML Movers means I *do* highly recommend them in a nutshell. The price was insanely low, the guys were hard working, and if I have to move agan I know who to call.
4 stars rating 9/26/2009 First off, no one gets 5 stars from me on yelp unless it's truly a life changing, earth shattering experience. So my 4 stars for ML Movers means I *do* highly recommend them in a nutshell. The price was insanely low, the guys were hard working, and if I have to move agan I know who to call.
In more detail, I used ML Movers almost 2 months ago on a rather large and complex move from the extremely difficult hills and narrow roads of San Carlos to a flat lot in Foster City. Oh yeah - they also agreed to make a stop at a 10x25 storage unit also in FC to pick up alot of heavy furniture and boxes!! So yes, they made 2 trips - from storage to the new house, then over to San Carlos to pick up my house worth of stuff (also including large furniture, tons of boxes, etc.)
The 3 movers sent were polite and very hard working. The job spanned roughly 8 hours and they stopped for some needed rest and breaks. Because of the house I lived in was up a rediculously narrow and hilly road, they lost a little time in just trying to get the 24" truck situated - needing to have a few neighbors move their cars and eventually getting that behemoth truck turned around. Because the truck blocked the no outlet street, there were a few times when the guys had to stop moving my junk and move the truck - more of a pain to my previous neighbors than to me. ****
Next, the price. When i called Miguel I was upfront and honest with him that I was moving out of a 3br/2ba (one BR they didn't need to mess with though it was empty) and needed to pick up some furniture and boxes from a storage unit along the way to the new place. The quote - $900!!! I found myself actually trying to tell him, this is a lot of stuff - exercise equipment, a few sets of tables, LR sets, TV's, beds, etc - "are you sure you don't want to come out and survey the work?" When the actual movers came out, I think they were shocked. oF course I would go ape if anyone tried to change the quote but I was sure to let the guys know there was a very generous tip waiting for them on the other side because even from the consumer's standpoint I know this was no $900 job. YMMV but as a person who has moved way too much in the past 10 years, I can tell you that any of the big names in moving wouldn't have touched this job for under $2000. As for value, M & L is the king. *****
The only negatives were I did have some damage to a few expensive pieces of furniture during the move. Nothing a little super glue and nails can't fix. The move was insured so I guess I could get the red tape involved if I wanted, but after a move I can take a few dings. If I had to move all that crap myself, it would look in far worse shape I'm sure. ***
In all, you really will be hard pressed to find a moving value like this - friendly service, navigating hard jobs with a smile, low cost, etc. If you have to move, call these guys,

5 stars rating 9/29/2009 I am extremely happy with the serivce ML movers provided. They helped us move last week, and it went really smoothly: they were right on time, very courteous and pleasant. They used blankets very extensively, and as a result fortunately nothing got damaged or scratched. They are extremely professional and for the very difficult move we had ( very very heavy glass dining table, etc) they gave us a very reasonable flat rate. I am so happy I found them on yelp, and have no doubt if we move again in the future, I will ask for their service again (perhaps I will ask for packing service, too, since now I know they are so careful in their work

5 stars rating 10/5/2009 I've 3 previous times locally in the Bay Area and for the fourth time, I'm glad I found ML Movers. The flat price took the time pressure out of the move and the crew moved quickly and efficiently. After we were moved in, they even took the time to remove the plastic wrap off the furniture and took everything away. I would definitely use them again.

The furniture was wrapped and handled so well. The three guys that helped me move were fast and professional. They didn't leave any marks or damage anything and they were so helpful to take apart and set up the beds. I could not have done it without them. I really think that this company is very good. I had odds and ends laying around that I was going to move myself but they insisted on wrapping and moving things for me. I really appreciated it.

5 stars rating 10/12/2009 Outstanding service. We moved from 2 separate apartments in Fremont to a single family house in Menlo Park. They were on time and worked fast and efficiently. We loaded one apartment first, then went to the other one. All the furniture was wrapped in blankets and plastic wrap, and nothing was damaged in the move. They also reassembled the furniture in the new home. Total time was 7 hours. I was happy with the upfront flat rate; no hidden charges. I would certainly use them again for my next move.

5 stars rating 10/22/2009 I hired ML Movers for my move from the Bay Area to the Sacramento area this past weekend and I was very impressed with their service! My move was scheduled for 8am and Miguel and team showed up around 745. I gave them a quick walk through of my one bedroom apartment and they got started right away. They wrapped all my furniture carefully, including my very large couch! They finished loading the trick very quickly and efficiently and were on the road in about an hour and a half. Once at my new apartment, they unloaded my furniture and boxes in about an hour and we were done by around 1pm! They took great care of my belongings and were very friendly and professional.

I chose to go with ML Movers because of the positive reviews they received on Yelp and I was not disappointed. Miguel provided me a flat rate for my move and I found that to be competitive with other moving companies I received quotes from. I liked the flat rate as I didn't have to worry about hitting unexpected traffic on the way to Sacramento (and adding extra hours to my final fee), calculating mileage, extra fees for stairs, etc.
Thanks ML Movers!!!! Great job!!!

5 stars rating 10/25/2009 These guys are awesome. They know what they are doing, and very efficient. I moved from Redwood Shores to San Carlos, and had a condo full of stuff... they arrived on time at 9am, and by 3pm, they were done. Even with a break in the middle. 3 strong movers came, wrapped everything extremely well, and took care to ensure my big flat panel didn't get damaged during transit. They charge a flat fee, so there is no concern of hours or travel time. I had technically a 2 bedroom, but when I told them 1 of the room is just an office with some bookshelf and desk, they happily honored the price for a 1br condo. I gave them a good tip at the end. Probably one of the best moving services I have ever used. Will recommend to anyone who's looking to move in the bayarea.

5 stars rating 10/26/2009 Before we moved, I looked on line for movers, and called several. ML Movers was the best-priced, very professional over the phone, and had great reviews. We used their services to move a 2-bedroom apartment, and were very impressed. They were on time, worked steadily and quickly and cheerfully, and took excellent care of our things. They wrapped the furniture and delicate items in plastic wrap to make sure it wouldn't get damaged. When they unloaded at the new house, they again were quick and put things in the various rooms, even moved a few things twice when we realized they were in the wrong place. Before they left, they organized their truck - folded all the blankets, etc. and had their truck ready for the next day's work before they left our place. I was very impressed with their attention to detail. About 9 months later, they moved my brother and sister-in-law, and they were also very pleased. I would highly recommend them to anyone, not only because of their good price, but because of their care and attention to detail!

5 stars rating 10/30/2009 ML Movers were excellent. They accommodated our special request for a small van to shuttle between the truck and our home w/ long steep driveway. This took much longer, but the guys were very fast and efficient. They wrapped and taped up all pieces of furniture. One item in an open box broke, an acrylic cookbook holder, but they told me right away and offered to pay for it. It was no big deal, but they handled the matter professionally.

5 stars rating 11/7/2009 ML Movers are very professional - from their emails to phone conversations to the actual moving day - they all behaved in a way that makes the customer feel right. Their price is very competitive. in fact, it's pretty low for what they do for you. They show up on time, carefully wrap every piece of your furniture, and never in a hurry to make sure everything gets done properly.

Miguel the owner is super nice, and so is everyone of his employees who either do the actual move or answer the phone. Movers are a big time hit or miss, but you can't go wrong with ML Movers.

5 stars rating 11/9/2009 ML Movers did a fantastic job with our move. They were very fast, but also very careful and courteous, and best of all they used flat rate billing (which eliminates the typical nickel-and-diming done by many movers). Even though they were not billing us by the piece, they were still meticulous in wrapping the furniture in blankets and plastic wrap to prevent damage, and in using tie-down straps in the truck to secure everything for the drive to our new home. They didn't complain despite our move involving three stories on both ends, and they did a great job negotiating large bedroom furniture up a very tight staircase with multiple turns with no damage whatsoever to the furniture. They were prompt (in fact, they arrived earlier than their scheduled time) and they accommodated our last-minute request to move a week earlier than we originally scheduled. I definitely recommend them to anyone seeking quality Bay Area movers!

It was going to be a disaster because where the fridge was, it was on the 2nd floor no elevator and the company we were buying the fridge from didnt have anyone to help us move it. So we found ML Movers and they did the job. They were quick, efficient and very nice. They got the job done in about an hour and a half. They were awesome and not to expensive either.

5 stars rating 11/23/2009 Exceeded our expectations! We are very satisfied with their service recently.
This is by far the best moving experience we've had with professional movers (vs. 2 others in the past).
Pros: Very professional, on time, everything is carefully wrapped, movers are courteous, efficient, and hardworking (they worked through lunch without taking a break).
My wife's review below:
This moving company makes me wanna cry, not because they are horrible, but because they are so nice!
On the moving day, 3 movers came to our apartment, on-time. They were very polite, and they were willing to wear shoe cover when we ask them to do so. They wrapped all furnitures with plastic wrap + cloth very carefully, and they ARE fast! When we arrived at our destination, which is a tri-level townhouse, they moved all the big pieces very carefully inbetween the floors.
Best of all, they are very friendly and patient. There is a sofa we first wanted it to be set at the 3rd floor, and then we decided it might fits better in the 1st floor. So I asked the guy if he can move it back to the 1st floor, he smiled and said yes. No complains, not even an "ugly" look on the face (that would usually make you feel bad). I made sure I tip them well so they really got what they deserve.
Definitely recommend this mover to who ever is tired and sick of moving (like me!)

They are careful and wrapped everything necessary to protect them. They work fast and efficient and in 2.5 hour they have completed the move, without any major dings. I tipped them well even though they did not expect it, they deserved a good tip on this Thanksgiving weekend.

Despite me trying to arrange movers less than a week before my move (I tried to hire another mover who was non-responsive and didn't get back to me causing my last minute planning), the receptionist was cordial and helped me find a date when the movers were available to move me.

Despite me trying to arrange movers less than a week before my move (I tried to hire another mover who was non-responsive and didn't get back to me causing my last minute planning), the receptionist was cordial and helped me find a date when the movers were available to move me.
Since I wasn't nearby or even in town that day, I sent a list of the things I needed to move to the girl (because I didn't have a full apartment) and she gave me a great quote that held after the guys were done. I was a little confused why she gave me two different quotes (a flat rate vs. a variable rate). Both quotes seems great so it didn't end up being a big deal.
I believe the rate was about $85/hour for two movers with a 3 hour minimum. If you don't pay the flat rate, they will have variable costs for packaging materials. I just went with the flat rate that they quoted me. No Hidden charges although multiple flights of stairs and some other things might add to the bill. But, I found the pricing probably better than other people were charging.
The guys arrived early and were nice enough to not ring the doorbell waking my roommates. I appreciated this since I had just overslept and wanted a couple extra minutes to get ready.
Both guys moved like lightning but also took care of my things. No nicks or dings that were not already there before. They also took the time to point out to me areas where things were already scratched or broken so that we wouldn't have any disputes later. NICE!
Anyway, I think we finished in under 3 hours which was great because the drive was about 45-60 minutes between locations!
They placed things where I wanted and didn't complain if I asked them to move something to a different place.

I tipped the guys because I thought they did a great job and made things stress free for me. The guy seemed surprised that I tipped which I liked a lot meaning they weren't expecting a tip automatically. I hate when people expect a tip no matter what.
GREAT JOB ML Movers! I should move more often!

5 stars rating 12/28/2009 .ML Movers were great! They called to tell us when they would be arriving and showed up ON TIME. They were very efficient in wrapping up our big pieces of furniture and moving our packed boxes. We also had to move a lot of items out of storage and they were very careful. When they got to our new home, they put everything where we wanted it to be, and even reassembled our bedroom sets.

It was also really nice to only have to pay a flat rate instead of having to worry about the number of hours they were working or the price per worker. They were very professional and really just nice guys. They even let us hang onto the wardrobe boxes until we were able to unload them into our closets. We dropped them off on Saturday with no issue. What a great team of movers!!

I could not recommend them any higher, will definitely use again.

5 stars rating 1/9/2010 These guys are great. I would recommend them to anyone moving in the Bay Area. They showed up on time and were fast. I paid a flat rate of $500 to move a one bedroom worth of stuff from San Francisco to Oakland. They wrapped up all my big furniture perfectly--nothing was damaged at all. They were professional and friendly the entire time (even though I was a stress-ball). Incredibly, one of them carried my cumbersome armoire single-handedly to the truck. They made me feel weak and inept--which means they're good! I got quotes from all the other well-rated moving companies on Yelp, and these guys were the best: lowest price and great service! Hire them

3 stars rating 1/11/2010 The good: They had a HUGE truck and three guys who all spoke fluent English. The head guy had a very professional demeanor and introduced everyone to us. They were all very nice guys--very careful about keeping floors clean, and polite. They also successfully moved a very heavy copy machine down 1 flight of stairs.

They were all very nice guys--very careful about keeping floors clean, and polite. They also successfully moved a very heavy copy machine down 1 flight of stairs.
The bad: They arrived 30 minutes early. They wrapped EVERYTHING in plastic, which took several hours. Some things REALLY didn't need to be wrapped (like my wire shelving unit--they were individually wrapping each shelf!!! I actually had to ask them to stop doing that.) if I had known that they would spend so much time wrapping my things, I would've bought the wrap stuff and done it myself. I'm certain I could do it faster!
However, despite their meticulous plastic wrapping, there was one item damaged. Ironically, the only furniture I care about (my newest non-cheap piece of furniture) was damaged. The legs of my accent table were chipped exposing the raw wood beneath it's silver finish. This item, I recall, was wrapped in a blanket, but with the legs still exposed. Also, that heavy copy machine now leaks oil onto the floor. It never used to do this at the old place, so I'm a bit worried.
Although I've had mixed experiences with the reliability and care of Craigslist movers, I actually am not sure if I would return to ML, knowing that I can find a cheaper and faster deal on Craigslist. That Craigslist dude with a truck may not be as professional, but in my experience he gets the job done.

5 stars reting 1/11/2010 these guys were awesome. They showed up on time and worked non-stop until the move was complete. They were more careful with my stuff than I would be. Everything was perfect. Very professional and worth every penny.

5 stars rating 1/12/2010 Moved from San Mateo to Redwood City. They came bright in morning and on time in a big truck with three movers. They took their time to wrap all my furniture and valuables including my flat screen, gigantic t.v. stand, gas grill, bed, several shelves, dining table, two desks, sofa...etc... all without a complaint and at a decent and careful pace. They came well prepared with all the plastic wrapings, covers, pads and tools for the move. I had a lot of junk and they were careful and worked tirelessly to take the big things apart and seemed fairly attentive to the fragile stuff. It took most of the day to get everything down the flight of stairs and into the truck which they packed neatly and tightly. Off to the new house and they took direction eagerly moving and unwrapping all my junk up the small stairs and putting it into the specific rooms as directed. They put everything they had taken apart back together correctly... and all this for a ridiculously low price that was probably around half of what other moving companies quoted to me. I was really impressed by how hard these guys worked, how well prepared they were, and that they worked with such a good attitude. It took all day, but they moved everything in. All my stuff came basically unbroken and pretty much unscratched. Nothing was lost. All in all a positive experience

5 stars rating 1/20/2010 I have moved several times and ML Movers are the best movers that I have worked with. Jackeline, the person who schedules your moving date, is very professional and kept in constant communication with me throughout the moving and scheduling process. For my 2 BR condo move from Palo Alto to SF, my ML Movers team of Roberto, Helton, and Geremias were prompt (with a new 24 foot truck), friendly, and very careful with every piece of furniture, some of which were quite heavy! Each piece of furniture was carefully wrapped with furniture pads and plastic wrap to prevent any damage. Since the furniture wrapping and unwrapping process does take time, I opted for the flat rate move, particulary since moves often can take longer than expected. For a stress free, cost effective move, I highly recommend ML Movers and will use them again in the future.

5 stars rating 1/23/2010 Nice guys, very careful with your property, professional, and quick. Their price is quite fair (I don't feel as though we got a 'deal' and I don't feel as though we overpaid). They just moved us today in Menlo Park and my wife and I highly recommend them.

5 stars rating 1/25/2010 Belated review for a move of a one-bedroom apartment from Palo Alto to Mountain View. Flat rate was reasonable, arrived on time, the truck was big enough (and had GPS to guide them to the new apartment) and the number of movers enough to complete the job by noon. Quick and easy to set up using web site and e-mail.

5 stars rating 1/28/2010 .All the staff was professional from the receptionist to the movers themselves. They arrived on time, took excellent care of the furniture.
No surprise in the price
And the last question from them was I happy with where I had them place the furniture and if not they were willing to move it

5 stars ratings 2/2/2010 .ML Movers was recommended to me by a friend, who had an awesome experience, so my expectations were high. I am moving out of the country so I have been super stressed with my move, but the team, from Jackie (in the office) to Manuel, Jorge and Geremias (my movers), they all made it easy and painless. The team showed up right on time and fully prepared with needed storage materials and within 3 hours my storage unit was neatly packed and secured. I provided a list of large items and # of boxes to be moved and they provided me with a flat rate, which was great. It was a super fair price and the guys were great. Definitely provide a tip - they work hard and deserve it!

5 stars rating 2/9/2010 Only had one week to plan my move...and I'm so glad I went with ML Movers.
Jackie, in the office, was great to work with. In her friendly manner, she helped me plan my move, which involved packing up an apartment, and a storage until, and delivering to a 2nd apartment. She was very responsive to my numerous questions, and quickly helped me locate a missing set of hardware once my move was finished. The quote was a bit more expensive than others, but well worth the rate.
And the move in day was a breeze! Jorge and his team arrived at least 1/2 hour early...hustled but whistled while they worked. They were very careful with my stuff, and finished very quickly.
I will undoubtedly recommend this company to my friends and co-workers.

5 stars rating 2/22/2010 Excellent service. The guys worked hard the whole 4.5 hours, taking only a short 5 minute break. Wrapped every piece of furniture, no damage at all. Would definitely use them again. Please note that if you move on the weekend and it ends after 12pm when the office closes, you must pay with check or cash. I was not aware of this before the move, and scrambled to find my checkbook.

5 stars rating 2/23/2010 These guys really are as terrific as everyone says. I called on short notice to move a sofa to the east bay and we arranged the move for next day! The team arrived on time, immediately started swathing the sofa in plastic -- I was glad I was forewarned because it was an amazing sight -- and cheerfully picked up my piano!!! when it turned out that needed to be moved in order to get the sofa out the door. They were at their destination within an hour and by all reports were similarly efficient and pleasant at that end.

I should add that I don't know that the price was particularly good but I considered it reasonable for a job well done and in short order and was happy to pay it.

Their crew worked extremely fast careful and hard. They came early and I was floored by the care they took with our belongings. Everything was wrapped. They even arrived early for an afternoon move.
I've referred them to friends. Head and shoulders above mover experiences I've had in the past.

5 Star rating 3/5/2010 .ML Movers were great! Jackie the customer service rep was great at helping me even though my move date changed twice! The team was professional, quick, and very accommodating to my schedule changes. All of my stuff arrived safely and they did a great job at keeping the walls and wood floor protected and undamaged.
They were on time and very prompt. I'd recommend them for moving for their service and competitive price.

5 Star rating 3/9/2010 You just never know what you are going to get these days when you find a source on the internet. But, you won't go wrong with ML Movers! I'm a corporate exhibits and events planner by trade and have worked with my share of moving/shipping companies. The expert and professional service I received from ML Movers was top level all the way. They arrived on time. They handled everything with great care. They wrap just about everything to ensure safe and secure handling from point A to point B. In 5 hours, my fully packed one bedroom apartment was wrapped, packed, moved and placed into my new place all without a scratch or loss of any kind. The 3 men were strong, work-minded and respectful. We were so impressed we tipped for their great service! ML Movers - I couldn't have done it without you! Thank you for the peace-of-mind.
