I am beyond satisfied with Southbay Moving. We had a lot of very heavy and awkward furniture, along with many many sets of stairs and tight spaces!! Juan, Eddie and Edan went above and beyond, they were very professional and respectful of our space and items. Everything was protected and nothing was...

I’ve known the team at Scarr Moving and Storage for many years and have worked with them both personally and professionally. I’ve confidently referred them to my real estate clients because I know they’ll be treated with honesty, care, and professionalism. Moving can be one of the most stressful par...

20 stars! If you’ve been told your piano move is "impossible" by other companies, stop searching, this is the team to trust. After taking photos and videos of my tight turning staircase, I reached out to a few local movers. One company wanted a $200 non-refundable fee just to come "look and see." An...

GGM delivered a piano into my Russian Hill home. Needless to say... steep hills and tight spaces required care and muscle. I was so impressed with their professionalism and excellent service. They are now our movers for life.

As a service member, this is the first moving company that handled my house hold goods with care and even when I couldn’t be there due to a vehicle shipment appointment. They still were able to work with me and sent workers who were bilingual and could communicate with my grandmother who was supervi...

I have lived at my home for the last 30years. Moving seemed like such a daunting task. Juan Sanchez and his crew were absolutely outstanding. From the moment they arrived, they were professional, organized, and ready to work. Juan led the team with confidence and made sure everything ran smoothly. T...

GoldenGate Moving helped us move a baby grand piano. They are very fast, efficient, and experienced in moving pianos. They were able to move the piano with quite a bit of steps without any issues. They are very responsive during business hours and was able to keep us posted on pick up and delivery t...

John and his team did an amazing job moving my baby grand piano down some steep front steps and up the stairs (with a 180 turn) in my new place!

I had lived in the same location for over 27 years and was completely unprepared for the moving experience. My Southbay Moving coordinator was Maribeth Gunderman and she was a lifesaver. I needed guidance every step of the way and she was always patient and helpful whenever I was overwhelmed. She re...

How much truck space do you need?

I’m moving a that’s .

A moving truck filling up as you change the options
1,150
cubic feet — what a local crew loads
8,050 lb what a long-distance carrier quotes on
26 ft rental truck, if you drive it yourself

Industry rules of thumb — about seven pounds per cubic foot, and published rental-truck capacities. Not our carrier records, not a quote. Bring both numbers to the call and what you get back will finally be comparable.
