We recently moved from Vacaville to Richmond Annex with Winter Moving. This is our first time hiring movers and we have decided that's just how we are going to move every time from now on because the experience with Winter was great.

I looked at a lot of reviews online and contacted several of them for quotes. Winter was actually one of the first companies that got back to me (via email, which I prefer, can't really be on the phone with 5 different companies when I'm at work) with a detailed quote. Their price was competitive and was able to do it on the Saturday morning I wanted so I went with them.

We lived in a two-bedroom and have some bigger furniture (giant couch set, many bookshelves, desk and TVs) and we lived on a second floor with kind of a long walk to the parking lot. We only have a budget for about 3 hours for them to load and unload since the double drive would cost us two hour worth of money already. Even though everything was already packed in boxes and moved to the living room for their convenience, we were still worried that they won't finish fast enough and we will have to stop them half way if they go over 1.5 hours when loading the truck.

They finished right around one hour!!!

Once they were done loading, they didn't even waste a minute before they started driving to the destination (We left shortly after in our own cars, and barely made it to the new place the same time as them). The new place has a really long flight of stairs (I even get tired just carrying grocery up from my car sometimes), but they were still fast!! We ended up paying for 4.5 hours only (including the double drive time) and were really happy that everything was in the new place already by lunch!!

I would definitely recommend Winter Moving!

  Highly recommend!

Our story is ridiculous and Winter Moving saved our a**es. First of all, I had the audacity to call them after their closing time on a Sunday in hopes I'd catch someone and they would be available to move us TWO DAYS LATER, because we decided last minute that had my bf and I tried to move all our sh*t ourselves we probably would have broken up by the end of it. Miraculously, Jesse answered and was so nice and understanding and he found a way to squeeze us in! We thought we did a good job packing, but after seeing how much care they took wrapping up our furniture we realized we probably would have shattered everything to pieces without them. We had a million flights of stairs and kept apologizing to them, but each with a smile on their face said it was no problem! They even took our annoying ikea bed frame apart and put it back together in our new place so that it didn't get scratched on the way. I wouldn't dare try to move again without these guys - they saved our sanity!

  Great moving company - highly recommend if you're moving. Everything from scheduling the move, handling paperwork, to the actual day of moving was a breeze. Their office is very responsive with emails regarding scheduling and paperwork, and I could call Jesse with questions during the move. The drivers arrived 30 minutes early, and I had a few last boxes to pack, and the movers helped me seal them up faster than I ever could! They boxed and covered all of my furniture/TV/etc very professionally - not a single scratch on anything. My new apt complex has strict rules about not scuffing the walls while you're moving in, and the movers took great care in making sure that didn't happen.... and they still finished moving in all my stuff lightning fast. Will definitely use these guys again next time I have to move!

  Great movers at an affordable cost! They helped me move a one bedroom apartment and also helped me with packing ! They were extremely efficient and did not waste any time. All movers were very careful with my items which is a major plus.  I would recommend using Winter for any of your moving needs.

  I used winter movers in my move from San Francisco to Emeryville.  They were easy to work with able to schedule last minute and overall a good experience.  The move went well and actually finished faster than they estimated saving me time.  I'd use them again if I move in the future.

Update:

I used Winter Moving for the second time.  This time from East Bay to the city.  Once again they made the move trivial for an amazing price.  I can not recommend them enough.

  I used winter moving to help my girlfriend move out of her place in Berkeley and had a great experience. Yotam was helpful in organizing the timing of my move with the other jobs they had to meet our required slot. The movers came on time, were friendly and extremely efficient. Everything was packed and moved safely and nothing was damaged. Winter moving also had very competitive pricing versus all the other movers I spoke to.

  Moving and dealing with furniture is always stressful, but I had an excellent experience with Winter Moving & Storage Company, which made me write this review.  I used them to remove all my furniture as I was replacing them, and they were on time, incredibly easy to work with and very efficient.  I will hire them for any future moves that I have and will highly recommend to any of my friends!

  Having moved 3 times this past year and utilized 3 moving companies for different parts of my move, my two experiences with Winter Moving were definitely the best.  Winter's guys were timely, gave accurate quotes, and had reasonable storage prices.  I was in a bind moving out for renovation with more furniture than I could take with me and needed a move to storage ASAP.  Jesse was available and very accommodating even on on 2 day notice.  The team carefully wrapped everything and kept it in great condition. Furthermore, I really wanted movers to be careful of scuffs or gashes in walls, corners, and flooring and these guys moved my 4 bedroom house without a single scratch.  They assembled beds and moved multiple heavy items through a construction zone.  I would definitely use them again.

  I did a lot of research when selecting a moving and storage company and I am so pleased that I found Winter Moving!

Their service was great. The crew arrived right on time (actually 4 minutes early) and had my entire apartment packed up in the truck in less than an hour! The two guys were super pleasant and friendly and I felt comfortable that they packed up all of my furniture well. I also called ahead asking if they could help me pack up some paintings and they did it in a snap!

The price was comparable to other 'move to storage' options I found. I looked into getting a storage unit and then just having a moving service take my stuff their; however, you can't beat a moving day that is over by 9:30AM. I loved being able to sit in an empty apartment after everything is in the truck and know that they would handle putting my stuff into storage (I am renting storage space from Winter Moving)

Thank you!

  When choosing movers, I looked up the highest-rated movers on Yelp, and did a cost analysis on Excel. Winter Moving offered the best deal by far. But that's not what got me to write my first-ever Yelp review. It was the AMAZING service I received (now twice). They are so speedy and efficient, making what could easily be a taxing experience incredibly easy and seamless. Beyond that, the movers themselves are incredibly delightful and friendly. I'll use Winter Moving every single time. Truly can't recommend them enough. THANK YOU!
