One Big Man, One Big Truck

We called on One Big Man to help us with another move, and they were excellent as each time in the past. The team helped us pack the kitchen: they were efficient and careful. On the move day, the team was on time and helped us navigate various street closures due to Super Bowl City. They were faster than estimated, polite, and extremely helpful. They know what they’re doing and it really shows. Absolutely will trust them to move us in the future.

I was really impressed with their service. They arrived on time, were all professional, took good care of my belongings and completed the job in a very reasonable time! I can’t say anything bad about them and I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Such a great experience. Was referred by a friend who has used them 3 times and I know I’ll use them again. Professional, intelligent, and fast. These guys knew what they we’re doing, how to be efficient, and made the process super easy. Competitive rates, easy booking, and superior service!

Great experience using the One Big Man team to do our move from Russian Hill to South Beach. The team worked quickly but with an attention to detail and care that we really appreciated. We’ll definitely use them again.

We have used OBM, OBT for 2 moves in the past year, one within San Francisco, and one to move a large multi-​part piece of furniture from Concord to SF. From start to finish they were flawless. First of all, whenever I’ve called, they sound friendly and happy to have my business. Their scheduling and paperwork is extremely efficient and well-​organized. They arrived on time, the cost came in below max. estimate, and the movers themselves were polite, friendly, and fast-​paced but very careful with our items and the buildings. When they arrived with the very heavy multi-​part piece of furniture, they reassembled it with us. We plan to use them for our moves in the future and highly recommend them.

these people held my hand in that I had health challenges. Starting with Mr. Wallace; a very professional, kind and honest person who walked me through all that I needed to know so that the moving experience could run as smoothly as possible, such as the somewhat complex procedure for obtaining the parking permit. I lived on Van Ness! The movers were all very considerate, professional, and I had tons of things and nothing was broken! I asked them to come back for several days to wrap, pack, they asked important questions abt the packing, etc. Very considerate, especially Louis and Eric. they helped me to move on Nov 18^th, 2015, but have been ill, so could not do this until now. The unpacking on 3 flrs of over 25 boxes and lots of furniture on the 3 flrs was done also with the same professionalism and consideration as I have written above.
I highly recommend OBMOBT, tip them cuz they work very hard and give them bottled water they deserve it! Thank you so much for getting me through this trying moving experience!

These guys were fantastic with my move from the City to Southern Marin. On time, courteous, and efficient. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

I had such a great experience moving with OBM! I decided to move into a new place and my biggest pain point was my queen size bed frame, mattress, dresser, and a large persian rug. They dismantled my bed for me, put my mattress in a mattress cover that they provided, wrapped my dresser, and rolled my rug for me. They also brought a wardrobe box and loaded all of my hanging clothes in there. Once we got to my new place, they unloaded all of my boxes, put my hanging clothes in the closet, reassembled my bed, unrolled my rug, and set everything up for me. It was one of the most painless moving experiences I’ve had to date. Throughout the move, the two movers were courteous, professional, careful, and also extremely nice! They followed up the next day to check if everything went smoothly. Booking the move with them was also a breeze.
It’s a little bit on the expensive side: $ 130/​h and an additional $ 80 fee to cover fuel and other materials. But overall, it’s worth every penny and I highly recommend them if you’re looking to hire a moving company.

Worth every penny! We needed professional movers to move from our 2 bedroom high rise in downtown Rincon Hill to our new house across town in the Lakeshore district. This move was quite possibly the largest, yet the most stress free move we’ve had. The rate for a 3 man crew was $ 195/​hr plus a $ 120 set-​up fee, a bit steep some would say, however you definitely get what you pay for. Will and his crew were outstanding! First off, they arrived right on time at 9am, which was awesome because we only had our building elevator reserved until noon. They checked in with our doorman and provided all the necessary insurance forms (in case they damaged the elevator building, which they did not). After about 1 minute signing forms, they started the clock and immediately started hauling out our boxes. We had a bit over 50 boxes. And these guys moved fast, what I mean by you get your money’s worth. Other movers we hired before that were cheaper — not so much. I went downstairs to talk to the doorman and he even mentioned that on camera, these guys were moving fast, they weren’t fooling around drinking coffee near the loading dock while we were upstairs in our apartment. All our furniture is from Room& Board and we have a few large wood furniture that are $$$$ plus classic midcentury pieces. These guys wrapped everything up with blankets and plastic wrap. They arrived in our home in perfect condition. My daughter’s bunk bed is a bit complicated to disassemble, they figured it out, carefully took it apart with their tools and assembled it at the new house. They took a half hour lunch break and made clear that they weren’t going to charge us for that time. They also didn’t charge us for gas, mileage or packing materials. Other movers with cheaper rates tack these costs in at the end. These guys don’t. We couldn’t be happier. I can’t say enough amazing things about these guys. It only takes one gigantic gash on your midcentury chair to make a whole move go south. These guys move your stuff as if it were their own. 5 stars all the way!

They did a great job! My belongings were handled with care and they were swift with the move. I trust these guys with my stuff and would definitely use their services again

I just hired them to do a small move from SSF to SF for a few pieces and they were professional and courteous on the phone and via email, also actually responded to my request and were price competitively. The two gentlemen who showed up (Alex and Daniel, if my memory is correct) were quick and professional. I will for sure hire them again in the future just based on the fact that they were willing to do such a small move and actually responded to my request. There was also a follow up call afterward-​great team!

Let me start by saying: I hire a lot of moving companies for clients.
The most professional and courteous movers I have ever hired — hands down.
Highly recommend this moving company. Not only do they carefully, professionally move your belongings, they disassembled and reassembled my bed frame. Helped me roll out my rugs, etc. These guys are exceptional, full service.

I had a fantastic experience with OBM. First, I did not have much to move – I packed and moved most of the boxes myself before even contacting OBM. Really, I needed professionals to wrap and move my heavy pieces (solid wood dresser, bookshelf, bed, end table) and especially my fragile mirrored console from my apartment in SF to a second floor (stairs only) unit in Oakland. Knowing it wouldn’t be a full moving job and didn’t require much time, I price compared a few highly rated moving companies. Most companies require a 3-​hour minimum and will add extra fees for packing material, tape, fuel to/​from, etc. So while OBM charges slightly more per hour ($ 130/​hr v. $ 100-​$ 110 average of other companies) they do NOT charge a minimum time requirement, they instead charge per 15-​min (¼ hour) increment and have a flat additional fee of $ 80-​$ 90 to cover fuel and materials, and no other hidden charges – and free wardrobe boxes (!), which is really what I needed as well. I called and received a call back within the day from Paul, and I scheduled the move for a week later. Try to book in advance as OBM is popular.
Aaron and Evan arrived in the morning, pleasant and friendly, and they QUICKLY and EFFICIENTLY wrapped up and loaded my big pieces out of SF and into Oakland. They provided what seemed like an endless supply of wardrobe boxes and loaded everything into my new place. A couple of my big pieces were awkward to get through narrow hallways and door frames, but the guys figured it out well and quickly, never missing a cheerful beat. For all of that, including a Thursday morning drive from SF across the Bay to Oakland, the guys finished the job in exactly 2 hours flat (no 3-​hour minimum necessary!). I had been quoted by other companies from $ 330 all the way to $ 800, and for no extra hidden fees, and a fast and efficient move, OBM was the way to go. Customer service is excellent and it was a stress-​free move. Pay cash (save a 5% charge for credit card), offer water, tip the guys, they’re great, and we all left smiling. Thanks OBM!

I’ve used One Big Man, One Big Truck for two moves and had my expectations exceeded both times. The first move was within San Francisco, and the second was from the city to the east bay. What impresses me the most about Fred and his team is the communication. Beyond all the things you would expect from a good mover — punctuality, efficiency, and care — I really appreciate the small details and how the team makes sure you’re well informed. From booking to a final follow up phone call I never felt lost during the moving process. These movers definitely helped reduce the stress of moving. Don’t hesitate to book your next move with these guys.

I never review but I had to for these guys. After 2 other companies denied moving a washer dryer up my not-​to-​code steep staggered stairs I called One big man one truck. They did it!!! They were even early to the job and no damage was done at all. Nothing is impossible for them. Im such a happy repeat customer and will always use them forever. Thank you again!

Another awesome experience with these guys! I just finished up my second move with One Big Man, One Big Truck (Sky and Mario this time) and again I’m so thrilled with how easily it went. 10 minute phone call to get it scheduled and the guy who helped me was really nice about the fact that I hadn’t found a place to live yet, so couldn’t tell him where I was going to. Mario and Sky showed up this morning at 9am sharp, hustled hard and got my bedroom loaded, across town and unloaded in an hour and half, 30 minutes faster than the quote. They were friendly, super efficient and overall awesome.
With a little luck, I won’t need these guys again anytime soon, but when I do I’ll definitely be calling.

Fantastic service from first call to service to follow up call. Fast. Available. Professional. Friendly. Use these guys!

Expensive! Do your research or beg some friends to help you move. Workers were hard working for the most part and after the move the owner or supervisor called to see how things went. I mentioned some things were scratched and his response was that’s what happens with moves. I wasn’t expecting him to give me any refunds but I also wasn’t expecting such a smug remark.

Can I just take a moment to say, WOW! These guys get the job done. They went the extra mile in my opinion and doing so with a smile and can-​do attitude.
Their attention to my needs, and agility in carefully handling my furniture was amazing, I was super impressed with how well of a job they did.
Did I mention that they provided felt pads for my furniture when I moved into a house with wood floors? They thought of everything! And the fact that I wasn’t expecting that level of service, again… I was thankful and privileged to work with a company that holds the customer in high regards.
I hope the men that moved my furniture get acknowledged for how well they treated my items, with great professionalism.
Without hesitation, I would without a doubt refer this company to friend and family who need moving services.

These guys were an absolute treat to work with. My family and I moved from Redwood Shores, to Belmont this week and unfortunately were able to move some of the larger, more awkward items out of our apartment.
We ended up using One Big Man, One Big Truck as they have essentially flawless reviews on Unilocal.The two guys who showed up were both super friendly, and took great care of all of our stuff. They worked quickly, and efficiently making sure that all of our possessions were well wrapped and positioned in the truck so they would not fall over or move.
It was honestly a fantastic experience, and I would absolutely recommend using them to everyone that I know.
