The Cost of Moving Services in Alameda, CA

Beyond factors like home size, heavy items, and stairs, the biggest cost difference comes down to your moving service type.

Excellent movers. I highly recommend them. They are professional, diligent and super fast. I had other movers help me the prior two days and MovingZoom was by far better than the prior movers and they exceeded my expectations. Moreover, the teamwork between the two movers was phenomenal and they skillfully loaded two large moving pods.

Jordan and Kalil were great. They reached out ahead of time, were prompt, polite, respectful and listened. Then they jumped into action. A Piano, a large exercise machine, took beds apart and packed that pod like you wouldn't believe. Still have half open. I will be having them back for part 2. Thanks guys! Susan
