My Dad’s Moving

I cant say enough about these guys. They are awesome. You can trust them with your belongings, which they will treat with care and competence. You can trust with something even more precious than any priceless antique, you can trust them with your family. They took such good care of my dad and Im very grateful for their patience with a fussy 70 year old who I value more than anything in the world. They moved him and his belongings fast, professionally and courteously. I will definitely call them for any future moves in our family because I know they will get the messy inconvenient business of moving done as painlessly as possible.

My husband and I each had terrible experiences when trying to book this company to help us move in a few weekends. I called first, and after having had a very bad experience, my husband decided to call. He had the same poor experience. On both occasions, the guy on the phone was very unprofessional (e.g., answered the phone with «Hello?» and I thought I had the wrong number), did not explain what was included in the rate (i.e., padding, assembly, etc.), and was unwilling to listen when we tried to explain the price that we paid a year ago when moving the same amount of stuff (i.e., completed in 2 hours instead of his suggested half day). His response was «I’m not interested, thank you» to which I thought, «not interested in making money?!» Given all of these positive reviews, it may be that this guy was just having an off day. Hopefully you have a better experience, but obviously we will be taking our business elsewhere.

If there was a way to give Six Stars, I would give them six. Rick and his crew (Dominick and Ivan) helped me with an office move today on short notice, and they were fantastic. I was faced with having to move some office furniture in a very short time frame, and I contacted My Dad’s Moving. Not only was Rick very responsive to my initial call, he was able to schedule my small move the very next day, and coordinate with the property manager where I was moving the furniture to. He and his team were prompt, friendly, very professional, and very efficient with their service. Charge was fair and reasonable (with a lower minimum than any of the others I contacted). His insurance is up to date, and he simply got the job done, quickly, professionally, and completely to my satisfaction. Very highly recommended, I WILL use them again for my next move.

Rick and Manny moved us this past weekend, and it went incredibly smoothly.
I called only about a week ahead of time to schedule a Saturday move (last Saturday of the month, no less) and Rick was able to fit me in first thing (7am) on Saturday morning. They showed up 15 minutes early and after a quick walk-​thru got immediately to work. It was a 2-​bedroom unit on the second floor plus garage and they had almost everything moved out by 10am. Without even stopping for lunch or a break they were over to the new place and had everything unloaded in great time. Rick wears a headset so he doesn’t even have to stop moving to take calls from other customers!
Throughout, they were friendly and respectful of our time, our places, and our stuff. Everything made it through in mint condition, including glass tables and lots of art. Not one scuff on a wall all day. We laughed because I had a second furniture delivery (from a store) at the same time and within 30 seconds that crew banged the wall twice. Makes you realize how great the professionals are.
Rick and his crew were great throughout. They were very reasonably priced and did exactly what they said with no fuss, no muss, no excuses. Although I don’t ever want to move again, when I do I’m calling Rick and My Dad’s Moving.

I used them 8÷20÷15 and they were great. When I called to make an appt. the owner spent time in going over details and kept in touch as the day approached. On the moving day they arrived on time! The whole crew was professional and courteous; nothing was damaged. I also liked the fact there were no hidden charges what I was told in the beginning was the amount

The least stressful part about moving was the actual moving of our stuff, thanks to My Dad’s Moving. They showed up early and worked hard to get the job done as quickly and carefully as possible, despite being paid by the hour. I have nothing bad to say about My Dad’s Moving — they took good care of our belongings, were friendly, timely, and did an overall great job. I would highly recommend them for a local move!

We used these guys for our move within Gilroy last weekend. They did great, were very personable, and nothing was damaged. We highly recommend them.

It was such a positive experience. They arrived early, they were friendly and professional. They packed the truck masterfully and nothing got broken. Being paid by the hour they could have taken their time, but instead they hustled to get the job done, in fact the fee for the move was less than the quote! And the rates were very reasonable. I will hire this company again! Try them the next time you need something moved or are moving. You won’t regret it!

Rick is not only a helpful and friendly professional mover — so is his network to which he will refer you if he is too booked to help you himself.

My husband and I contracted My Dad’s Moving to move us from South San Jose to Gilroy. We were more than happy with the service. Rick and his team showed up right on time and ready to work. He and his team are systematic and very professional. We were impressed with all the support and supplies they came staffed with. They strategically planned the move and used professional supplies like our mattress was well protected, as well as our fragile and delicate belongings not one scratch. They protected our new house with stair guards while lifting over sized heavy furniture on a very warm day. His team also helped us position heavy artwork which was above and beyond moving. We would highly recommended My Dad’s Moving for a stress free move and very professional service.

Rick and crew were great! Very professional, friendly, courteous and on time. The thing I like the most waa their attention to detail. They had concierge style attitude about the move. Which was surprising and refreshing from my past experiences with other companies. I highly recommend them.

We ended up with cancelling our appointment. Scheduled between 11am to 2pm on a Saturday one week before. Called one day before to confirm the time, very specifically. I was told there would not be any problem. We packed everything early and waited till 12pm. We started to call them to check when they would come but they were busy with morning jobs and won’t be able to show up as scheduled. We waited until 2pm and with very tight schedule in the afternoon, we have to cancel our moving. I think they are not good at accurately estimating work load and time. Not recommend if punctuality matters to you.

I used My Dad’s Moving to assist me with my move last year! The two guys was awesome and amazing — they arrived on time and were ready to assist me with my move. The guys actually arranged my furniture for me at my new home! I was absolutely pleased and completely satisfied with Rick’s crew. Rick and his crew are absolutely wonderful and fantastic to used for every move! I’m glad that I know a marvelous and brilliant guy with a moving company in San Jose.

My dads moving saved our move! Our scheduled movers flaked on us at 3pm the day of our move. My husband and I were both on our cell phones frantically trying to reach anyone that could help — and then our miracle happened and Rick picked up the phone. Rick was professional, kind, and he and his crew were at our place in under 30 minutes. They got the job done faster than any other company quoted me and they were worth their weight in gold. Despite knowing we were in a jam, their rates were reasonable and I never felt taken advantage of. In fact, these guys were about as nice, warm, and friendly as can be. Given that they were called in to a last minute job and did it smiling the entire time — I wish I could give them 10 stars and a million dollars. Rick and crew — Thank You!!!

Rick and his crew are awesome !
We searched around for movers and couldn’t find anyone that we felt comfortable with. Found out about Rick through a friend and called him on Tuesday for a move on Friday. Luckily (for us) that was the day that Rick had off and he was happy to help us out!
He said he would start at 7 am and predicted it would take 8 hours to move us (we have a lot of stuff!). He arrived promptly at 6.45 and started the move. We were so impressed with his packing skills! He and his guys were friendly and so professional! They worked tirelessly without taking a break and we were tired just watching them!
In our new house, the storage space was smaller but Rick somehow managed to arrange everything so well and gave us space back!
Above all, what was most touching to us was that, knowing we were also christians, Rick prayed for us after the move. To us, this was the best part of having this team over!
Rick and his team are very conscious of the time and work so hard! Very professional and friendly !!! Was a great experience overall :)

Rick and his team have moved my staging many times. He charged $ 125– per hour for 2 guys and a truck. Then when his son got involved, the son thinks he can charge any amount that he wants. My smallest move was overcharged by Rick’s son by $ 100– Also after his son put my furnishing into my storage space, he failed to turn out the light, so then, he leaped on top of my pedestal table, while reaching for the light string, and he rocked the table top back and forth so much that he broke the top of the table, now it rocks back and forth. Since this happened, last thursday, Rick has consistently refused to return my calls and my text mesages. When I called him last Thursday, the office phone was out of service. This is 5 days later, and no reply except to say he is out of town.
Often, Rick will hug me and say that he loves me; that is really unwanted; he does not understand that.
In the past, one time, I called Rick to move one chair up two flights of stairs. I said that I need only one guy. He sent three men and after the chair was moved, his son said that I owed him a two hour minimum. If Rick cannot communicate his fees, prior to doing the job, except by sending his son to do the dirty work, then he cannot be trusted.

I needed a few pieces of fragile furniture moved on short notice and Rick was able to juggle his schedule to make it work. I was impressed with how caring the guys were, not only in handling the furniture, but also in helping to get the pieces to the right spot in our home.
All the guys were friendly and professional. I’ll definitely call Rick the next time I need to have something moved.
Tip: Even if you have your own truck, you can save a lot of time, hassle and risk by letting pros do the work.

I had contracted movers that cancelled on me (day of move) yesterday.
I was calling around like crazy trying to find someone.
My Dad’s Moving answered their phone on a Sunday (no recorded message) and Rick was so nice. He went out of his way to try to help us out. The only day that he was able to move us didn’t end up working for us and we finally found another company (who will hopefully be good).
Even though we aren’t using them for our move, it was awesome to know that they were willing to go out of their way to help us when we needed it.
Sometimes you can just tell the integrity of a business by the integrity of the people who work there.
Next time I move (when I have more time to plan ahead) I am definitely using these guys.

Between my now-​husband and me, we have used My Dad’s Moving four times over the past six years. Most recently, we used Rick and his guys to move our twosome-​selves from a 2,000 square foot home to a 2,200 square foot home. He had quoted us $ 200/​hour for four men and two trucks. We both figured, based upon our past experience, that it would take the entire day. (It is amazing and dismaying how quickly we can accumulate stuff!)
I have no complaints about Rick. He has always been the consummate professional and keeps everyone moving. He usually arrives a bit earlier than scheduled, which is a plus in my book. I usually feed them a quick McDonald’s breakfast which they grab and eat while they begin their work. The crew quickly cart out box-​ladened dollies while Rick busies himself with arranging all the items just-​so in the truck to maximize packing space and to avoid the slimmest of possibilities of having to make a couple of trips. Watching him pack the truck is like watching a challenging game of Tetris. These guys are polite, quick, and cool – all the while sweating and grunting, carrying inordinate poundage, disassembling beds, packing my hanging clothes into their provided wardrobe boxes.
It took about half the day to load the truck. Then while they journeyed to our new home, I ran to Subway to make sure I could give these guys whatever energy they needed to unload. Maybe it is the Chinese in me, but I like to see people eat; it builds their stamina. After a quick break to eat and hydrate, the four went at it again. By the time late afternoon came around, I was dragging even though my only responsibility was to simply point my finger to the rooms that the belongings should be carried to. Rick and his men never dragged their heels and were always at attention and always pleasant.
Rick may not provide official quotes by the way of a form prior to the move which seems to ruffle the feathers of some other of the Unilocal reviewers, but he is definitely a man of his word and provides an invoice after the job is done. I would, and have done, recommend him to my friends to use.

Well, I reviewed Rick and his crew a year ago when he moved my belongings 6 blocks to a temporary rental home.
This year I had him move me back.
Only difference for me was that this move was without the dining room furniture, 3-​piece entertainment center, and furniture/​contents of a bedroom.
Last time (2012) it took them about 4 hours costing me $ 650.
This time it took them 5 hours and cost me $ 900.
They are careful and very attentive, however I think that the price was a little steep considering that I now have about 25% LESS furniture.
Good movers, but getting expensive.
