NOR-CAL Moving Services Reviews

Excellent Service and genuinely very nice movers. Definitely would recommend them to anyone

Matthew Vukovic was exceptionally helpful and responsive. Matthew and the rest of the California team helped make my international move easier to coordinate and less stressful. They were always happy to help with questions about the process and paperwork, making me feel very confident. When I had some difficulties with the European partner, they immediately responded and made my delivery happen on time. I highly recommend them. Make sure to keep them copied when communicating with the European partners.

I highly recommend Allied/NOR-CAL moving company. Everyone I interacted with from beginning to end was professional and extremely friendly. I moved from California to Florida and the truck arrived at my new home in 10 days which was much quicker than I anticipated. Nothing was damaged in the move either and the guys who unloaded the truck did a fantastic job. And the few items that they did pack for me was packed nicely and handled with care and they wrapped and protected all my furniture really well. I can’t find one negative thing to say about my experience using this company. Definitely a 5 star experience. Thank you!!!

This is my second move with NorCal moving and each experience was wonderful. Special thanks to Earseleanne, the dispatcher.

Great people to work with! We moved from California to Washington state, and we needed at least 2 months of storage before delivery. We needed to sell CA house and then buy a new house in WA. Nor-Cal was great to work with Chris and Earseleanne were quick to answer questions.We got quotes from 5 different moving companies, and this was the lowest one. It included a month of free storage for all of our stuff. Once we gave them the call to deliver, we had our stuff in a week.We had a full service move, and the team who packed us up was fast and efficient. They had our entire 2 bedroom house packed up in 1 day! Similarly, the crew that delivered our stuff had everything unpacked (and furniture assembled) in a few hours.The leads on the packing and delivery teams were amazing. We went over every item delivered and I marked it off as they brought it in. Minor damage to a metal shelf from the garage, but I consider that a small price to pay for all the moving parts of this big move.Would recommend highly.

Question & Answer

Do I need an estimate?

Yes. We offer free, no-obligation estimates. You can choose between in-person or virtual live video surveys. We try our very best to work and handle all kinds of moving scenarios.

Please note: We do NOT offer ball-park estimates over the phone.

Do you provide packing services?

Yes! We offer partial and full-service packing. We use high-quality materials to protect your items during transit.

Ask our Relocation Consultants in the Office, Industrial/Commercial, or Household Goods division.

Can you disassemble and reassemble furniture?

Absolutely. Our movers are trained to safely disassemble and reassemble beds, desks, tables, and more.

Please inquire in advance for pre-planning and logistics coordination.

Why should I hire professional movers?

Hiring professionals ensures efficiency, safety, and peace of mind. We bring the tools, labor, and experience to make your move stress-free.

Why should I choose NOR-CAL Moving Services?

Since 1982, we’ve been serving the Bay Area and are the go-to mover for top companies. Whether you’re moving a household or a global HQ, we tailor every move to your budget, timeline, and needs. We offer local, domestic, international, and office and industrial moving and storage/warehouse services. Call us for more information! We’ll develop a custom relocation plan to minimize business disruption and ensure a smooth transition. We provide clear, detailed estimates with no hidden fees, and our 5-star reviews and industry certifications back our reputation.

Customer satisfaction isn’t just a goal — it’s our standard.

Are you a moving broker or freight forwarder?

No, we are a licensed, professional moving company — not a broker or freight forwarder.

Here’s why that matters:

Brokers don’t own trucks or movers. They act as middlemen, often outsourcing your move to third parties with very little to no oversight.

Freight forwarders manage shipping logistics but don’t actually perform your move.

Choosing a direct mover like us means:

  • Full accountability and service continuity
  • No surprise carriers
  • Personalized customer care

Tip: Ask for a mover’s USDOT number and verify it at: FMCSA’s website.

Do you guarantee delivery or pickup dates?

For long-distance moves, we offer delivery windows and do our best to meet specific target dates.

Can you handle specialty or sensitive equipment?

Yes. Our team is trained to move electronics, servers, lab/medical equipment, and confidential files safely and securely.
