Moving Forward
We offer quality moving services with professionalism, integrity and great customer service. Trust us to move everything quickly and safely to keep you moving forward. I cannot say enough good things about Luis and his team. Extremely fast, professional, so upbeat and positive through the entire moving process.

His team used tons of furniture covers and seran wrap to make sure everything was padded and taken care of. These guys are awesome! This is the best moving company in the whole Bay Area! Luis and his people are very punctual and reliable! They are very fast and careful with the funiture, they also offer you to put things together if some of your funiture was apart!

I highly recommend them if you consider to move, you wont regret it! In case I would have to move again, this is the company to be with! Not once but twice Louis, has taken 2 moving jobs on short notice, and the team has been extremely professional with how they interact to how they move your valuable belongings.

Luis and team were really great. They were so hard-working and so organized and professional. All three guys were highly productive the whole time. No one was ever idle. Each guy carried two boxes at a time throughout the whole move. And they were super careful. When they carried a heavy piece of furniture through doorways and around corners, Luis monitored all the edges to make sure the furniture never hit. Luis made sure every piece was properly protected before they moved it. They took time to make sure they placed the furniture exactly where I wanted it, without making me feel rushed. They

I was referred to this business by my realtor. I was struck by the friendliness of the person on the phone and the promptness of his follow up emails. The only thing I would point out that he assigned us only 2 men when we actually needed 3. Here's where the movers-- Elder and Luis really shined. They showed up right on time, worked efficiently and yet with care and respect. It was really enough work for 3, and it took them 9 hours to finish the job. Despite the long day, they never waivered in the amount of care and attention they showed to our belongings, to us, and to our dog. You

We selected Moving Forward based on good reviews and we had an awesome experience.
should be given more than 5 stars.
process to book was organized and tech savvy. we got COl exactly as was requested by HOA in 2-3 days.
movers showed up on time at 8 am in the morning. it was Luis and 1 more person.
they did such an amazing job of moving so much of our stuff in such a safe manner that we were so happy.
very easy to work with and communication in English was perfect.
very understanding of different instructions and requests.
they wrapped everything in plastic wrap and used blankets for all

If I could give Luis and team 6 stars, I would and I don't say that lightly. Luis and his men came on time and with a helpful, respectful and friendly spirit. They were respectful, accommodating and professional. Examples of why I gave them 5+ stars:
- Extremely responsive customer service, they always followed up and everyone from the phone representative to Luis (the owner) to his men were all fantastic
- They included wardrobe boxes for us
- They were SUPER accommodating with certain requests I had regarding our carpet and a very special couch that I personally moved the last 2/3 moves

Hands down BEST MOVING COMPANY! If I could give Luis and his team 10 stars I would!! I have used Moving Forward on over 5 moves in the past 6 months and each time the team of movers are prompt, professional, reliable, and trustworthy. What more can you ask for in a moving company? Luis has gone above and beyond on numerous moves, even returning weeks later to remove garbage and boxes. If you're looking for a moving company in the Bay Area, you definitely want to go with Moving Forward!

They moved our 3 bedroom house, including garage full of heavy woodworking tools in 102 degree weather without any issues whatsoever. We originally had scoped 5 guys and 2 trucks, but it became clear that we would need another truck 1/2 way through. No problem- they got a 3rd truck out in no time. My woodworking equipment is very heavy 600 lbs per piece, and they were able to manage it perfectly. I wish all services I hire could be as good as Moving Forward. I hope to never move again, but if I do, it will be only them that I call.

These guys are phenomenal! If you're on the fence as to whether or not get movers or which one to choose from then stop here. I was so impressed by how fast the movers were able to take everything from boxes, furniture, and wall mounts down. Such a massive stress reliever and all my boxes and furniture were delivered in the same condition as they left. I've been recommending Moving Forward to everyone I know and will definitely use again in the future!

They were impeccable -- reliable, efficient, all you would want in a moving company. Let me go on - friendly, careful, professional and fair-priced. My neighbor used them and raved about them and I, in turn, shall do the same. In fact I raved about them to the storage director and she said "well, that's rare."

Moving Forward came highly recommended by a friend of ours, and we couldn't be happier with our experience!! We had a lot of things to move, many of them very heavy (books! Cinder blocks! Cast iron! Tools!), and no elevator at our new 4th floor apartment. It was a long day, but Luis and his crew were exceptional! They worked very efficiently, and we were so impressed with what they were able to accomplish. This was the first time my husband or I had hired movers, but I know now that we'll never do it on our own again: there's no need, with such an excellent and trusted company

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Moving Forward is an amazing moving company. First off, their rates are very good, lower than I had anticipated. Second, they’re great at what they do. The crew wore their masks, moved all items without a single thing breaking, being dented or scratched. The crew was professional and checked with us every step of the way.

Just awful. So much of our furniture was damaged (cracked, gauged, scratched or plain destroyed). They also damaged our wood floors and the lead guy took pictures and reassured me that his boss would contact me about repairing it and so "don't worry about filing a claim". He did not. I emailed. Still silence 2 weeks later.

Some examples of their incompetence:
(1) Our pool table was professionally disassembled the day before Moving Forward showed up. I repeatedly told them to place several blankets under where the 3 pieces of the slate would be placed in the trailer. They placed

Excellent service! Reasonable price and they give you extra perks or discounts within reason. Luis and his team members are very efficient, careful, hard worker, respectful, honest, great work ethics and customer service! What else Right? Moving stuff is very stressful but they made it fun and simple. Luis as an owner of this company is very humble and honest. He is my go to person whenever I have questions regarding moving items and he gives time to answer your questions without expecting in return. He's a nice guy and I'm looking forward to working with him again soon. I referred his

Moving forward requires a minimum of 3 hours to work for you, so if you’re a one bedroom person with only a queen bed and five large boxes, they might not return the call.

I used Moving Forward for a residential move earlier this month. To be completely honest, the morning didn’t start out great. The mover driving the truck got too close to my car, damaging the driver side mirror. This made me a little nervous for the rest of the move. That being said, based on the way it was handled, this place still deserves 5 stars! The movers apologized, assured they would have it fixed, and immediately contacted their boss. They completed the move smoothly and quickly taking great care of my items. The same day, I received a call from the owner, who told me to get a repair

Short review - Amazing moving crew run by Luis. Careful, efficiently, friendly and quick. Use them if you want a no hassle, smooth move. Our move was long distance. SF to SD.

Longer review - I can't say enough about how good Luis and his crew were in moving our San Francisco apartment to San Diego. Super efficient though the quoting process, professional and quick to respond. After we selected them, the reservation process was really easy.

Luis dropped us off wardrobe boxes and doublecheck dimensions and furniture. They followed COVID procedures and wore masks all the way through and liberal

Moved my voluminous stuff 2 hours out of SF to my storage facility. The 2 guys and their truck were right on time, courteous, both spoke English adequately, and they didn't run the clock. They worked hard and well. At the storage facility, I presented them with the challenge of fitting all that stuff into a partly-occupied space that needed some rearrangement. They were up to the task and we filled it out.
The cost was basically what I was told it would be.
The only reason I have not given 5 stars was on account of the minor issue my movers had with taking a few empty boxes and bubble wrap

Moving forward is great! I will never use another moving service! Mario has been with me for now the second move and should forsure be a manager, he is so great and is always a leader! They are quick and do the job unlike many other Sf moving companies that I have hired in the past! The guys who work for the company are people who I would want working for my company. They just want to get their jobs done and do it quick while being gentle with your precious items, they are always so awesome they also packed my storage unit perfectly 2 times in a row!
