McGuire Movers

Maybe these guys are great movers, but I’ll never know. They called to reschedule me three days before the move. Yes, we scheduled it for Easter Sunday, and I respect that people might want to have the day off, but two weeks prior, they said they could do it. «Are you sure?» I asked. Plenty of businesses work on Easter Sunday, so I didn’t think it was too crazy that they said OK. We set a time, and I was looking forward to working with them. But trying to reschedule to another day with three days’ notice after I’d already planned everything out is unacceptable. When I pointed this out to the woman who called me, she guilt-​tripped me hard: «Well, I *guess* we could do it, but the movers really want to be with their families that day.» You should have thought of that before agreeing. It’s a shame, because I really did want to spend my moving money with a local business. Thankfully, I found Shannon/​Rogue movers, who could do it on short notice.

«I love moving,» said no one.
I contacted several companies and McGuire was the only one that started charging when they arrived to my house, not at the starting point from their warehouse.
I also liked that they responded to my quote request on the same day and very quick on email when I needed clarification. I was able to book within 30 mins after receiving the quote.
Even though our move date changed several times and we ended up having to stop at a 3^rd location. The movers were super polite and hard working.
For anyone complaining about a two hour minimum, that’s a common practice for a moving company. If you are looking to move a few boxes a couple blocks away, try Task Rabbit or Lugg.

These guys are super nice and super efficient. We were the last move of the day but they took our request and showed up within 20 minutes.
We had a bunch of boxes and a big couch to move down 3 floors. The couch was too big but they managed to get it out by… roping it down our balcony! It was nuts and showed true professionalism!
Amazing team highly recommended

McGuire Movers are excellent! You couldn’t ask for more professional service. They were prompt, efficient and very organized. They phoned to confirm the day before the move and called when they arrived early, the day of the move. They provide a very handy standup wardrobe box to easily move your clothes hanging in your closets. The team were all very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them to help with. They took time to wrap all furniture in plastic and were extra careful with my fragile items, They are hard workers and will get the job done in a timely manner. Their prices are the best in the Bay Area.
I will definitely book them for my next move. I happily referred them to my friend who is moving soon. I highly recommend them for all your moving needs.

Great movers! We had a lot of heavy furniture and they didn’t have any complaints. Not only are they very professional, but they were cheaper than a lot of other places. I would highly recommend them.

We did a short move within San Francisco a few weeks ago. Gerry and his team were the BEST to work with! They were fast, efficient, and careful. They showed up on time and ready to work! I would recommend McGuire Movers to anyone.

These guys are very organized, friendly and quick. They were referred to us so. I will pay it forward.

These guys were awesome. Very professional, and didn’t waste time. in my opinion, most valuable thing they did was not nickel and dime me at the end. Often times moving companies will charge you extra fees for various things (time you from when they leave office, not when they show up). I audited these guys from when they arrived and they charged me for exactly how long they were there. Worth every penny. Also, get 3 movers, moves so much faster!

I just moved from the Marina to the Mission and these guys were excellent. I found them on Unilocal after doing a thorough comb of several pages worth of movers (and there are MANY on here…) I was pretty leery of all the movers with super high star ratings, en masse, and wondered how they could all have so many. After reading an increasing amount of testimonies that the companies gave discounts for good reviews, I removed all of them as contenders and focused on more realistic «small business– type moving companies. With 30-​some-​odd reviews, all thoughtful and genuine, I decided to call McGuire as one of the quotes. (I got quotes from 4 companies.)
Their rates are SUPER reasonable, and they’re helpful and quick on the phone. They’re flexible on timing, came exactly on time on a Sunday morning, and got everything done very quickly. Even though we agreed to 2 men at a rate of $ 96 an hour, they came with 4 men to get the job done quicker (as they had a few other jobs the same day) and charged only $ 144 an hour for all 4 men. They moved me very quickly, and were great about breaking down my furniture and rebuilding it, no complaints about stairs, no nickel and diming. Everybody was polite and courteous and worked very hard.
I’d absolutely work with Jerry and his merry movers again! He asked me nicely at the end whether I was a «Yelp Person,» meaning, did I use Unilocal to decide on them? And would I also write a review since they didn’t do any advertising? I told him I gladly would– it’s true that Unilocal reviews make a difference for folks like me, and I wanted to be as honest and thorough about my experience for Jerry as I could.

The McGuire crew were great to work with and I would recommend them. I was in a small 5^th-​floor studio in a building downtown with a cramped and slow elevator, not an easy situation to get furniture out of. So the move was a bigger effort than I had estimated, but the McGuire guys worked patiently and methodically to get my stuff out. I have used larger corporate moving companies in the past, but I went with McGuire because they are local. I got just as good service but less formal and friendlier, which made the day less stressful. Since I did not have a car downtown, the guys gave me a ride bringing the stuff over to Bernal Heights, and placed everything where I needed it to go in the new pad. Happy customer.

Gerry and his crew safely moved delicate pieces for me as well as very heavy boxes so that we (my fiancé and I) could move into one house from two studio apartments. They were also flexible and changed the plan and added people to respond to the situation. They were well-​mannered and very careful with wrapping items. I’d hire them again.

In a tight situation and had to move on a Saturday, but didn’t find out till Friday. These guys not only helped, but made me and my wife feel better about it. Worked well and fast. Thanks guys, definitely would use them again!

Amazing group of people! Everything about my move with McGuire Movers was pleasant from scheduling the move on the phone with Laura to the actual move with Gerry and Frank. Laura answered all my questions about scheduling and what was included and how billing would occur. On the day of the move, the guys arrived on time, worked efficiently, disassembled and wrapped my furniture, drove straight to my new place, unloaded, unwrapped and reassembled all of my furniture (at no extra charge) and put everything where it needed to go – they even helped me move large things like a king bed around the room to get it just right! They were careful not to scratch walls or floors or get the carpets dirty.
The hourly rate was reasonable and cheaper than other companies I called. There were no hidden fees for fuel, disassembly/​reassembly, wrapping (even a large mirror), or other equipment. The whole crew was very nice to me and careful with my things as though they were their own things. I couldn’t be happier with this company! I am so glad I went with them!

I’ve lived in San Francisco for 10 years and this is the best moving company I’ve worked with. Jerry and Carlos were very friendly and professional. I couldn’t ask for better people to work with. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them for next move! Thank you McGuire Movers!

Jeri and McGuire Movers provided a professional, friendly, and stress free moving experience!
I had previously set up time with a terrible moving company who cancelled last minute. I found McGuire Movers online and was able to book a last minute appointment on a Friday, and they fit me into their busy Saturday schedule right away. Two incredibly friendly Irish men (one of whom was Jerry) arrived punctually and got right to work that morning. They packed everything very orderly and protected the mattress with a cover and my fragile items securely. They placed all my furniture exactly where I wanted it and even moved a few things around after I changed my mind. All the while cracking jokes and making the whole experience really fun about stories about Ireland and their interest in India.
I would definitely choose McGuire Mover again when I move! Thanks for the great move.

I cannot believe I’m here again writing a moving review so soon! Myself, hubbie and little pup made the move from MTV to Sunnyvale last week. This move was a shorter distance compared to last year, but oh dear god, the amount of stuff we had accumulated was just incredible!
Once again I left the entire move to McGuire movers and believe me I highly recommend that strategy to anyone who is dealing with the stress that comes with moving home. As soon as Jerry arrived, he and the crew swooped in and dealt with all the packing, loading, unloading and unpacking! These guys are truly awesome! Thank you Jerry and team!

Really horrible service. I wish I could give 0 star. I was bringing my own truck so I took their services to move stuff from my truck to my apartment. I took 2 hour of services where two guys came in at 12.08 and at 1.19 they said their time is over!!! Really? How good are you with math? The lady who I booked with specially said that the time starts from the apartment door when they arrive, but those guys disagreed.
They also dropped open two boxes on the street!
Left their own van in middle of street asking me to keep an eye on it?
Even though my apartment had an elevator, these ppl were definitely incapable of moving stuff, one skinny guy and one fat dude.
When I asked them to help with assembling my furniture, they were very reluctant, I had to pretty much do most of it myself.
Will never take their service again. I would have rather done it myself.

If you need moving services, look no further than McGuire Movers. I was scheduled to move with another company, but when they showed up, those movers told me that one of them was allergic to cat hair. I drove to Lowe’s and bought them gloves and masks. But, they decided that I should reschedule with men who were not allergic. The company manager told me it was my fault. Needless to say, I didn’t reschedule, but I called McGuire Movers. Laura, in the office, was wonderful and sympathetic. It was too late to move that day, but she arranged for Jerry, Miguel, and Eduardio to come first thing the next day.
For some reason, my credit card didn’t go through. I offered to go to the bank and get cash, but Jerry said I had a good vibe and accepted my check. I love these guys!
The best part was the move was ½ of what the first company was going to charge me. This was really the icing on the cake. I don’t anticipate moving in the near future, but I plan on referring McGuire Movers to all my friends and acquaintances.
Hire the best: McGuire Movers!

I joked earlier that this review would just say I love you I love you I love you I love you. But it’s true– I love Jerry and the team from McGuire’s that came and moved my stuff today. Being in my 30s, I decided that I was going to hire professionals instead of trying to ply my friends with pizza and for my first move in the city– I was moving from a place that I lived since I first moved to SF four and a half years ago. So clearly I have moved to San Francisco but until today had not moved IN San Francisco.
And I did my research– I read a lot of Unilocal reviews, I called around and talked to a LOT of companies that seemed like they didn’t need or want my business. But from my first phone contact with McGuire’s, I felt immense RELIEF. San Franciscans know that finding a place to live is stress inducing enough (I really did loose hair in the awful Criagslist search of 2014) and then to find movers that were professional and reasonably priced? It seemed impossible. Until McGuire’s. The woman who set me
up on the phone was lovely, accurate and reassuring. I got the promised confirmation phone call 24 hours in advance. And on moving day Jerry and his guys were a godsend. Fast, friendly, and without any damage to any of my stuff. And the rate was UNBELIEVABLY reasonable ($ 96/​hour gets you a couple of guys and a truck which is easily the best deal I found in the city) they were done in 2 hours and forty five minutes. That includes taking apart and putting a
bed together.
So, short story? I would use McGuire’s services again in a heartbeat. And so should you.

Awesome service. Available on short notice, brought me packing supplies a couple days before the move, and super friendly.
They even dropped off my «junk pile» to the Good WIll for no extra cost.
He shmoozed my previous land lady, who is unshmoozable and quickly delivered my ‘home’ from SF to Oakland.
Thank you, Jerry!
