Meathead Movers

We needed a bed moved. Meathead Movers was prompt, courteous, efficient, reasonable, and friendly. They arrived early and worked quickly. We will happily use their service again! :)

My elderly parents hired Meathead Movers to move them out of their home of 26 years. The items were going to 5 different locations — 4 in the Los Angeles area and 1 in Northern California. The move went incredibly smoothly. Meathead sent two crews. Both crews arrived promptly. They were pleasant throughout the move, and were very efficient. They worked hard and had a great attitude. Both crews finished the loading ahead of schedule.
And the «unload» went very smoothly as well. Nothing went to the wrong place. Everything arrived in perfect condition. And they were very helpful placing the items as desired.
I would whole-​heartedly recommend using Meathead for any move, long distance or local.
PS — we also used the Packing Princesses to prep & pack the day before the movers arrived. They were equally pleasant and efficient.
A great experience!

Meathead Movers were professional and kind. They worked very hard so that we didn’t have to. Not giving all 5 stars because we found one of the beds weren’t put together all the way, a week later. I’m surprised the bed didn’t fall apart on us.

I am handicapped and had to pay for Movers to pack one day, move furniture the next and unpack the next day. The estimate was under $ 4,000 since my kitchen was packed by my helper and I gave most of my furniture away. The move was over $ 6,000 and things were thrown in boxes and not wrapped. I don’t know how to put pictures in here but they broke an expensive lamp and left it over at my other house. Many of the boxes had stuff just thrown in them and nothing was unpacked where it belonged. I have no idea where a lot of my things are. There is a shelf that belongs in the garage that was left out and now it has rotted because of the chipboard. They left several boxes at the house where I used to live and I have no idea where my mail box keys are. I am in a wheel chair and am trying to get some compensation for this. They did send out three princess packers when I complained who knew who had made the mess. They were witnesses to the fact that the move was very unprofessional. I don’t know what they will do. If I could give them a — on the star I would. Boo

Was very appreciative of the hard work of both Bryce and Leo… They were timely, worked really well together, patient with our particular situation, very kind and respectful to my mom… I would highly recommend them for a long distance move and/​or a short in town transport…

I chose meatheads and I don’t regret it. They are the epitome of SLO service (authentically friendly and kind). While they may be a little more expensive at the end of the day/​move it’s worth it. I had Bailey and Mike as my princess (sorry Mike) packers. They were fun in what was a stressful time and made me feel completely comfortable in my home; touching every aspect of my life and things. My dog loved them too which was pretty great. They were super organized (see pic).
When it came to the actual move Jacob and Chris were rockstars. I mean seriously. I’ve never moved and felt like I wanted the guys to stay for dinner. Special peeps.
This is a team you will not only trust but will hug, share some laughs with, and thank at the end of a long journey of moving.
Kudos to the entire Meathead team. Please keep spreading the SLO spirit of service around. The world could use it.

Let me preface this by saying I move A LOT. So I would consider myself an expert when it comes to movers.
We closed escrow on our house a few weeks early and Meathead Movers was able to arrange everything one week in advance. They asked a lot of questions which I thought was awesome because they would be able to get a little better idea of what they were dealing with and give us a reasonable quote.
Josh Dudley and Roberto Barcenas were our movers and did an absolutely amazing job. They had a great attitude and even though our move took more than twice as long as we originally thought they hustled with a smile on their faces the whole time. I was incredibly impressed and relieved to have them handle our move.
If we ever had to move again (god forbid), I would definitely hire them again!

Meathead Movers are the best! From giving me my estimate to the actual moving day. I was moving on a small budget and the two young men (Bryan was one but unfortunately I didn’t get the other young mans name) were so helpful keeping me within my budget. They ran the whole time. Everything arrived in the same condition as it was when they picked it up. I have used this company when they were just starting out as high school students. They have done an amazing job with this company. They also help women in abusive relationships move by volunteering their services. Again they are the best! Ann

Our recent move in the Santa Ynez Valley (Santa Barbara County) was smooth and stress-​free thanks to the professionals at Meathead Movers. From the initial phone call to the in-​home consultation through the day of the actual move we were treated with care and respect and friendly professionalism. I have already recommended Meathead Movers to an acquaintance who is moving and will continue to do so. What an extreme pleasure to work with folks who communicate clearly and concisely and who truly made us feel comfortable and at-​ease throughout the process. I would like to thank Bryce McGhie and Chris K (sorry, cannot clearly read the last name I wrote down!) for their awesome help with a follow up visit moving an appliance to a new location. Much thanks and keep up the awesome work!

I hired Meathead Movers because of recommendations but highly disappointed. The movers that arrived were pleasant but charged me for work starting at 10am although they didn’t arrive start until 10:15-ish. That may not seem like a lot but it comes out to about $ 50 of them not working. Not only did they start working late they also definitely were not running/​jogging while they were moving. The only time they actually jogged was when I was standing RIGHT there. When I was not in eye shot, they leisurely walked.
My biggest complaint was that I had one of the mover undo a bunk bed for the move. He took about 1.5hours to unscrew some bolts and 1.5 to put it back together at the new residence. It took me less time than that to actually put it all together when I first purchased the bed. Again a huge disappointment. The worst part was that after I had paid and was living in my new home I noticed that the screws were coming loose from the bunk bed. I thought no big deal. I’ll just tight then. When I went to tighten them, the bolts that kept the bed frame in place were not put back. The mover shoved the screwed into my child’s bunk bed but never actually secured it with the bolts on the top bed. the frame was slowly coming undone because nothing was holding it together. I do not even want to think about what could have happened if the top frame came undone and the bed fell on my 3 year old sleeping below. This was not one screw and one bolt but THREE! How do you not screw back 3 bolts? Absolutely unacceptable.

The company’s sales reps were very accommodating when it came to our loading needs (especially with dates and times) the guys showed up right when they were scheduled to. Mark P. and Samuel O. were extremely professional, courteous, hard working and fast. Using Meat Head Movers was a very pleasant experience and made our move so much easier!

I got an estimate for my items and on the day of the move was told they underestimated the boxes by 100. They were 1.5 hrs late, only showed up with 3 guys instead of the reported 4. The company is not one I would recommend but the movers who showed up were very nice and efficient.

Meathead was awesome! The movers were great and we’re super fast and efficient. They were also super nice, polite and made my moving experience way easier. The customer service reps were also amazing! I would definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone who needs help with their move =)

Meathead was great! Our two movers showed up on time and were able to unload our 20 foot trailer in just under three hours, taking everything into the house and placing it where it needed to be. They worked well together, were always moving, and stayed out of my way with the few things I was moving into place. The house escaped without dings of any sort. Although they were a bit pricey (i.e. more expensive than buying beer and pizza for friends, or hiring a student), they did a good job and felt more than worth the expense. If I need to move again, and have the means to hire someone else to help with all or some of it, I’ll definitely use Meathead Movers.

I didn’t even get a chance to find out if this is a good company :(When I was unable to give an exact inventory of my items, the woman on the phone told me that they couldn’t work with me and hung up.

I could not have done my move without the help of Meathead Movers. Everything was so easy! From getting my quote from Chad L. to Klay R. and Johnny C. loading and unloading the truck. From start to finish everyone I interacted with was pleasant and professional. Due to a delay in my escrow closing I had to reschedule 2 times!!! Each time I called to reschedule the customer service rep was amazing and the flexibility was a lifesaver!
I highly recommend Meathead Movers if you want to save your sanity during your move!!! Thanks again guys!!!

Polite, on time, took care of my stuff, great customer service. Plus, the boys are adorable!

No mover can beat Meathead Movers for excellent customer service, attention to customer needs and overall quality of moving services. I am a repeat customer & would definitely turn to the Meatheads for future needs. I grew up in the moving industry, I know what it takes to coordinate and deliver excellent services, Meathead Movers is clearly the best. Don’t trust your valuables to anyone else!
Also happy to see they are now in Ventura and Orange Counties, soon to be in Fresno County as well. Their rapid growth is further proof of their excellence! Thank you Meatheads!

Well, they did it again, even better. We moved a few months ago to Los Angeles, and my husband’s company paid for our relocation. They really wanted us to use a van service, but we convinced the company that if we could hire our own, we could beat the van rate. Of course they did– by thousands!
The girls came and packed us up, were VERY gentle with my vintage pyrex, and the boys were efficient and timely, in getting our house packed up for the LA move. I passed them on the freeway, cried a bit and honked as they waved (first time moving away from home for me).
The next day they delivered our goods, were efficient, helpful, and fast, although not too fast, as to make sure to care for all of our goods. They moved our piano for the 3^rd time, thank you, and were very careful of all of our antique type furniture.
The way I could really tell they were hard workers, by their sweat :) that is a good sign! They were all sweaty and tired when done!
Love you guys and will use you next time… whenever that may be!

I’m not one to let people touch my personal belongings, nor spend hard earned money for things myself and friends «could» do. However, with the pressure of upcoming new family, remodeling, etc, I reached out to Meathead Movers and it changed my perspective a lot of what I can do vs. what I should do and let others do! LIFE SAVER, PERIOD! I’ll NEVER move myself again. I’ll also add, as a public figure, I usually keep my opinions to myself… but felt it was the right thing to do to share my feelings on yesterday’s move experience. Please read on…
Let me tell you, once you come down to the DAY you move, you are going to WISH so badly that you let a team of strong guys protect, carry, stack, move, unstack and place your belongings where you want. They do not just move you… they come out to asses the materials and stay in amazing touch with you during the weeks prior to your move. They provide change of mail services, change of utility services and general make life much smoother in the stressful timeline of packing and moving. You receive emails and phone calls to check on timeline and to see if they can do anything for you. It’s not just some random guys showing up with a truck. They move your LIFE and take great care to ensure respect of you and your belongings.
Personally, when move day came, I REALLY got an appreciation for what they do and how much I NEEDED the help. I would have paid double due to the ridiculous amount of items they packed up and saved me from dealing with. While they worked, my wife and I had plenty of non-​lifting life things to do that creep up and surprise you when you move… Do yourself a favor and take care of the little things during a move and let Meathead move your STUFF. They have products that wrap and protect the edge of doorways and have the strength and experience to move things fast without being careless. You might think for a moment that you could move their own stuff safer, you’d probably be incorrect on that assessment;)
My wife and I are now enjoying the fun part of moving by placing items where they go on shelves, enjoying the space and getting so much other essential work done while pros did their job. While they are moved things that would make you or me upset, injured and in pain, they did it with a smile! I’ve always been a fan of the successful Meathead business that’s so well known in our community… I’m now just that much more of a fan of the job they do as a client! Truly grateful to have hired them!
THANKS GUYS (and gals!)
