Chris Rodriguez Moving

Chris has helped me with a couple of small, but difficult moving jobs and he has been great to work with. The first job involved moving a very heavy sofa bed into a storage space. Chris and his partner had to navigate several narrow doorways and sharp turns with this enormous couch. They were efficient and methodical in figuring out how to turn it just right and, over several moves they had to make to get through each doorway, they made sure that neither the walls nor couch were damaged. Chris also helped move two items I purchased on craigslist. They told the sellers the exact time they’d be there, were punctual and efficient and appeared with the items at my place as promised. Chris’s manner is friendly and professional. I would definitely call on him again for moving needs small and large.

I don’t know if Chris’ moving company is still active — but I hope so, because they were GREAT! I moved August 2007 and it was my best move ever. I didn’t even realize it was so great until I had a disastrous move with All Seasons Movers in March 2014.
If Chris is still moving people, GO WITH HIM! He’s so nice and polite, prompt, and professional. It’s been 8 years and I still have great memories of that move to my townhouse. It was so organized and went super well. I wish I had hired him for my move last year but I had forgotten his name and contact info.
Chris, if you’re reading this — you and your crew rocked!

Excellent service! Punctual, polite, lots of communication, no surprises.

Chris and his team moved us from San Francisco to Burlingame. For the same price I would have paid with other movers, we got over 10 guys (versus the others that offered 2 – 4 guys) and all the guys were so professional. They got us moved out and moved in from SF to Burlingame in less than 4 hours. Unbelievable! No damage. All the furniture was carefully wrapped in heavy duty blankets and taped down securely.
We are happy customers and will use him again everytime we move. Plus, he will cover any damage his team causes up to 2 months after the move. Nobody else offers this. I highly recommend him. He did a great job for us!

Chris moved me last year and I had a fantastic experience! His attention to detail is phenomenal. He had six men with him and they were all very polite. Nothing was broken or damaged. There is not one negative thing I can say as it was a great experience.

Had to get a large heavy cabinet, tables and 6 chairs from Berkeley to Davis.
Chris was amazing! Great communication, very professional and my furniture arrived damage free when promised.
Everything was very carefully wrapped and they took incredible care bringing it inside. It felt like they were moving in priceless artifacts.

Chris Rodriguez and his staff are excellent. I have moved four times with Corporate Relocation moves. All was coordinated and handled for me. This was the first time I moved myself since college. Chris was referred to me by my realtor and he did a fabulous job!
Chris runs a great operation and his men are solid. Chris and his team are polite, friendly, and professional!!! Chris returned the call I left, set up a face-​to-​face meeting, reviewed the property to be moved, and quoted a price on the spot. Chris talked me through how he does business and then left the decision up to me if I wanted to hire him. No pressure and his process added a personal touch.
When my home sold, we had a fast escrow. I had the realtor call Chris and sent a deposit to secure the move date. Unfortunately, the house then fell out of escrow. To my surprise, when I asked Chris for an invoice for the deposit to submit to Escrow, he volunteered to apply the deposit to a later move date. This occurred about 3 — 4 days prior to the scheduled move date. Chris did not have new business replacing our original scheduled date.
Chris then agreed to reschedule my move to a holiday weekend when the home went back into escrow. I anticipate the new date limited his ability to have another job and he didn’t change his original quoted price. I was impressed!!!
Based on past experience from moves handled through my Corporate Relocation department and the research I did on current rates, Chris was very competitive.
Chris called a few days prior to the move, verified items we would be moving, and managed my expectations for what would occur on the move date. He showed up on time at 8:00 a.m. with his army of 12 men. All of the guys were dressed in navy blue shirts, lined up, and then introduced one-​by-​one to me. Throughout the time they were packing my home, I learned that many were being informally mentored by their boss. Several were encouraged to go back to school. They answered questions professionally and handled my belongings with care. They were very focused and efficient with their time.
A three bedroom home was loaded onto the truck within 2 — 3 hours. Chris directed the packing of the truck and coordination of the men throughout the time he was at my home. He then drove from N. CA down to S. CA and met me the next day on time at the new location. Because the belongings were going into storage, the unpacking took a little longer, but all was handled professionally, unpacked safely, and repacked with care.
As it turned out, I needed additional assistance getting a refrigerator to another location. Chris recognized I was a little uncomfortable driving the truck that the Storage facility provided. By the time his truck was unloaded, he had coordinated one of his men to volunteer to drive the truck with my refrigerator to the separate location. Again, very impressed.
One of the prior reviews comments on Chris’ phone responsiveness. I would tend to agree that he does not always answer the phone when I wanted to talk with him, but he returns calls within acceptable customer service standards. Having said that, I also noticed that when he is with you, he isn’t taking calls. He gives the customer he is serving his undivided attention. In todays world of technology, I actually appreciated this remarkable service. He makes you feel as if you are his only customer.
Moving is very stressful and Chris had a way of taking charge, providing confidence that all would be handled with care, and you are number one when he is working with you and your job. In today’s business, this is hard to find, but Chris does it well.
I have already recommended him to a colleague and will continue to endorse him and his business. I definitely would hire him and his men again!

We hired Chris Rodriguez for a multistage move that took over 4 months to complete all three phases of the move.
Our contents included everything from the usual household stuff to very expensive artwork, crystal, flatware & silverware.
Phase one of the move involved packing and moving most of our stuff from our San Francisco 2 Bed x 2 condo to Sacramento storage. However, we left some furniture for self staging to sell the condo. Meanwhile, some of our moved contents was destined for a second destination; our temporary accommodations in Sacramento. Phase two kicked in on completion of the sell of our condo. Chris moved our staged furniture to storage.
The final phase of the move happened when we bought our new house and involved moving both our storage and our belongings in our temporary accommodation to our new home.
While this a complicated and protracted move, it is a real life scenario for a family selling in one location and buying in a second over the time frame of 5 months.
Chris was perfect for the job. In fact, I very much doubt any moving company could have done it flawlessly, but Chris did. Besides the very fair price for the whole move, Chris is a perfect hands-​in project manager, proactively checking every move (e.g. calling ahead of time to check that the Storage company actually open over the holiday weekend). Chris’s constant communication was not only a stress reliever but an excellent way to make on the fly micro changes to the plan.
I would highly recommend Chris and his moving crew. They are exceptional. Thank you Chris!

Had them assemble a crib and dresser for us. On time, professional, kind customer service. Made sure I knew about the crib and dresser and how everything worked. Accommodating, good guys. Even did a little bit of extra assembly for us without charge. Highly recommend.

My roommate and I hired Chris to move a couch we found on Craigslist. We’re in SF and the couch was in San Jose.
We called him up on a Sunday afternoon and he agreed to go check out the couch for us, tell us how it was like, and to deliver it to SF that very afternoon. He charged us $ 135 for the whole ordeal but fronted the money for the couch purchase and was repaid back only after delivering the couch and moving it into our apartment. I don’t know any other mover who was willing to do all this on such short notice. It was really no risk for us.
He was very professional and had pads and everything for moving. I’d recommend him for any Craigslist purchases.

I’m blown away at the convenience of having Chris move us from two separate apartments into one. Chris was early for the consult, polite and straightforward with his pricing. His team was punctual, arriving at 11am, ten people in tow, packed our first apartment, drove to the second, packed that, and moved us into our new place by 12:58pm. 1:58 minutes people! Take a second to let that sink in.
That alone is worth my money, let alone the care with packing, patiences with our moving and placement directions and lack of funny business on final price.
What’s the alternative? Between a friends truck and my jeep it would have taken 10 trips and more than likely a rented truck for the big stuff. Not to mention having someone yell, «Pivot!» at me while descending San Francisco stair cases with our couches. No thanks. Paying Chris to move us made the process so much less stressful it’s unbelievable.
I’ll be using Chris in the future and I’ll definitely be referring him.

Surprised I can RAVE about movers but, in this case, I can (& will)!!
Just had new loveseat delivered from fabulous flipp (*see my review on Flipp) & had the best experience with Chris & Martin’…not only did they deliver the gorgeous new couch, they were superheroes in moving my old furniture to the storage room & genius in finding a way to make big furniture fit through a tiny doorway.
SO amazing, friendly, accommodating and professional & open to any job big or small.
Will definitely be recommending them to all my friends «on the move»!
Big bonus: Not only did they swap furniture around, they were also so nice about changing kitchen light bulb that burned out, today.
(And, apparently this is a common request since this is the 2^nd light bulb change today).
Q: How may movers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: 2 very awesome & accommodating ones!
Chris & team are my TOP choice next time I need a minor or major move!

Chris Rodriguez is an efficient hard-​working mover with fair rates.
Minus 1 star because he can be hard to reach on the phone. His cell phone voicemail fills up and that can be frustrating, but if you are persistent, he is on time to both appointments and jobs. I found him easy to work with and received good reports on how well his crew worked.
***** UPDATE ***** January 2008
Chris Rodriguez Moving appears to have folded its truck and stolen away into the night.

One star is way too much from my experience. But you need to have some kind of rating and that’s about as low as Unilocal will let me.
I had two appointments for an initial consultation with Chris, neither of which he showed up to NOR gave me advance notice of a cancellation. When he finally did call me (two days later), he didn’t apologize or give any excuse as to why he didn’t show up or call.
Moving is an incredibly stressful, time sensitive thing. You need a reliable mover. If you can’t even rely on your mover for a phone call, how will he fare on the actual move day?
I’m happy for the 2 people who had a great experience with Chris. But if you’re considering calling him for your move… best of luck to you.

Tired as I am from my recent move right now from Lake Merrit to the island city of Alameda, I am still very thrilled with my recent experience with Chris Rodriguez because the fatigue comes from unpacking. I will never move without him again as the experience had been the least painful move and my best experience with movers.
From the start, he was one of the few people who would come over for an in-​person estimate. For the service he provides, it is a value. Chris gives you a flat rate for the move as well as packing if it is needed. The quote is basically a ceiling price, which I loved. I have had more than a few experience with moving budgets go from a estimated $ 400 to $ 800+. Chris Rodriguez also provides his clients with packing supplies — boxes, papers, tape (regardless of whether you use his packing services. This easily saved me around $ 400. I like Chris and felt that he was very professional, but I also did my due diligence and checked him out on Unilocal and Angie’s List (where he has 27 «A» ratings) before booking his service. I paid by check upfront and got a $ 200 discount for doing so.
Knowing that Chris and his crew (a small army of 15 guys) are going to help me pack anything that I couldn’t get done in time saved me a lot of stress. Chris’s brother and father also are participants in his business, and I really liked the hard working crew that he brought over. Chris did a great job of managing everything — I just had to stay out of the way. He arrived on time 8AM in the morning and even with a stop by the Public Storage, I was all moved in and the crew moved my husband and I into our new place by 1:30pm!!!
I will never move without Chris Rodriguez. I am so glad that I found him! He’s even coming back to take the boxes from us once we are done unpacking so I don’t have to deal with figuring out how to get rid of my packing boxes. Now that’s the best service ever!

So I’m trying to convince him that he needs a more marketable name than «Firstname Lastname Moving,» but my advice is use Chris’s services while he still has some availability!
Chris has helped me with several local moves around San Francisco as well as Palo Alto/​Sunnyvale, and I think he’ll do the whole country. He is amazing professional, careful, friendly, affordable. I cannot stress the affordability for this level of service enough – there have been a few times where I thought, why use a mover? but Chris can often quote a price that makes you think you are crazy for trying to go it alone.
He comes with a crew that follows his extremely detailed and careful instructions well, and he always leaves you happy. Finding a great mover is tough and Chris is a great find! Thus I am voluntarily writing this glowing review even though his business isn’t already listed on Unilocal.Chris – sorry it took me so long to put this up!
