Above All Movers

I have had Above All Movers move me before, and had an ok experience (one of my couches was ripped on the arm piece). When I knew I’d be moving again I figured I’d go back to them since the damage wasn’t too extensive and they moved me for a decent price-​though now I wish I wouldn’t have waisted my time.
I spoke to and scheduled a move date with Hakim, the same individual I spoke with last time. Everything went well and we had a date and time planned. Then, I was told by a friend that I could be moved for a cheaper price than what Hakim quoted me. Before cancelling the appointment and going with another moving company, I though I’d ask Hakim if he could match the other quote I was given. Initially, he agreed and said it wouldn’t be a problem. Then he had the nerve to text me back and say that I had offended him and because of that, he increased the quote by $ 100.
Get the fu*k out.

From start to finish Above all Movers did a great job. I spoke with Hakim and he quoted a price and scheduled the move for May 15^th. Their prices are so reasonable! We will never do the moving ourselves again. The moving staff (Martin, John and Cameron) were on time and were extremely professional and worked hard! It is amazing how quick and safe they were in moving the items from our storage facility to our home. No damage to furniture and they were extremely careful putting items on our hardward floors. The guys were really nice. They charged us exactly what they quoted and worth every dollar! They were recommended to us by friends who used them. We highly recommend them.

These guys are amazing! They were here on time and they fast and efficient. They were here for business. Very professional and excellent customer service. We were referred to them. This is my first time hearing about them but so far I’m very pleased.

MY WORST MOVING NIGHTMARE. These guys came recommended to me and I read a lot of favorable reviews on Unilocal.Scheduling a major move was a little sketchy via text and no formal email or payment deposit, but I can overlook that. DO THEY EVEN HAVE PAPERWORK or insurance? I confirmed twice after the initial schedule and all was good. Until move day. Like me, most people have a moving date scheduled for a reason. Like they are moving out at the end of the month, etc. Move dates are significant. So, I’m set up to move on the last day of February so the new owners can move in on the first. Easy enough… EXCEPT WHEN THE MOVERS DON’T SHOW UP.
THEY DIDNT SHOW UP! And worst of all, they kept telling me all day that they would show up!
Apparently, the guy who had the keys to the truck had his car repo’d and both sets of truck keys were in it? Uh ok. All day they called and told me they were working on it. But they never showed up. They just never showed up. How about renting a Uhaul or two and showing up? They just didn’t answer the phone. IS THIS A BUSINESS?
How can a moving company just not show up? And they kept telling me all day that they would get to me. «They’ll be there at 9, then by 11, then by noon, then by 3, then 4, then 5» then radio silence. «I give you my word we’ll be there» was the mantra of the day. Well, they didn’t keep their word. And I got screwed in the process because Inhad to call another mover for the next day which wreaked havoc on me, and the new owners.
SHAME ON HAKIM AND ABOVE ALL… DONT USE THEM.

The most efficient crew ever!!! Hakim and his team are everything you want in a moving crew but did not think existed! Affordable, professional and they understand what you need them to do and they do it with a smile. Cannot say enough great things about Above All Movers. A HUGE thank you from all of us in the building.

Hakim and his team are AMAZING!
We’re so grateful to the Belmont Village Sabre Springs staff who recommended them to move my elderly grandma a few months ago as we’ve used them three times now in four months.
They are especially great working with the unique aspects of moving the elderly in or out of senior living type facilities.
They are friendly, hard working, careful, accommodating, polite, prompt (if not early) and to say they are phenomenally quick and efficient is probably an understatement!
Despite having used them twice in recent months for other family and knowing how great and quick they were, we still underestimated their fabulousness going into our most recent move for other family this week.
They moved a house full of books and heavy fabric and furniture and made it look like they were carrying just feathers up and down stairs in next to no time, beating even what we thought was a probably optimistic guess on timing, etc. And that was even more impressive with them having four destinations to then deliver it all to this time!
If you’re looking for pleasant, incredibly efficient and careful movers, Hakim is a truck and storage packing wizard who simultaneously coordinates his great team!
We can’t say enough good things about them. Truly!
They are a true San Diego gem that I’m only hesitant to praise on Unilocal in fear they may be harder to book the next time we might need them. Ha!
Hakim and team, you’re the best! We hope never to have to move anyone in the family again without you guys!

Hakim and his guys are so amazing! Used them about 5 time now and every time they some it’s great. Professional, communicative, and fast!
I always feel like my things are safe and they care about the move as much as I do. I’d recommend them to anyone. As much as we all hate moving Hakim gets the job done and you feel like 1 stressful thing on your list is crossed off by them.

Hakim and his team were efficient, friendly and most importantly affordable. I have moved a lot over the past few years and of all of the moving experiences this caused me the least anxiety. :) Hakim is a motivated individual that takes pride in his business and what he can do for you. I’m definitely using Above All Movers again. Thank you Above All Movers!

We were planning to move ourselves from Carmel valley to vista but then my fiancé threw his back out the day before our move… We thought it would be hopeless to get a moving company last minute, but we decided to try. Above all movers didn’t even hesitate to take the job on and were there at 10 am the next morning. They loaded up the truck, drove to vista and had us all moved in by 1230! We couldn’t believe it. We suggest these guys to anyone! They’re amazing!

I have now used Above All Movers about 7 times since 2004 for my personal moves and have even referred them to friends, family and business associates. The result and feedback every time has been nothing but flawless. Hakim and his guys have always been professional, careful and fair on their price to me and my circle. I would recommend him to move my own parents. Thank you Hakim for another great move, I will see you again soon.

These guys can be summed up in one word: AMAZING! Hakim and his crew are so fast and efficient, it’s not even funny. We used them to move from a couple locations in San Diego around town, and then most recently used them to load our moving truck to move to Indiana. After using an unloading company in Indiana, I even further realized how awesome these guys are. I highly recommend them to anyone moving. They took great care of our furniture and did an awesome job.

We’ve used this company before for a previous move, and were impressed with their efficiency, and all the other good things people have been saying about them here.
However, we were disappointed in a couple things. On the day of our move, they were scheduled to come at 8 am, and showed up at 6:30; VERY early, as we had literally just gotten out of bed. Then, Hakim looked at all of our stuff and immediately doubled the price, saying there was way more than he thought, and that it would take him 2 trips in his truck, and that it would take ALL DAY to do this job. After some somewhat heated back and forth, we decided to go forward with them, because what else do you do on the morning of your big move? Didn’t really have a choice. My wife had to run out to the bank for more cash, since that’s all they take. We were also disappointed to have to listen to a couple of his employees talking crap about US, loudly, to each other, while they were moving our stuff. Not a good feeling, when people are handling your possessions. The rest of the guys were great, as Hakim’s guys usually are.
They did do a great job on the actual move; they were efficient and were careful with our stuff.
They did end up making 2 trips, but I have to say, they were done in just under 4 hours, which was the minimum amount of time that we were initially quoted; yet now were were paying twice the amount. So, while the overall move went well, we really wish the business end had been handled better. We were clear at the beginning, when we booked them, that we had a 3 bedroom house, and a garage, and that we had plants as well that would need moving. We’re not professional movers; we count on the company we’re dealing with to estimate what would be entailed and to quote us appropriately; not double the price at the last minute because they didn’t ask the right questions. So in the end, happy with the final results, but unfortunately not left with the best final impression.

Hakim and his crew were recommended to us by a friend and I can’t thank her enough. Hakim was great with getting back to us and confirming our appointment. His crew was right on time and moved us from our old house to our new house with amazing speed and care for our furniture. They are cash only and ONE AMAZING CREW! I’m not looking to move anytime soon but you bet I’ll recommend them to anyone who is looking for movers! Hakim’s rate is amazing and he does great work! You won’t regret using these guys!!!

This review is REALLY overdue. Hakim and his crew have helped me move twice, and my parents also hired them when they moved. They are super fast, and they NEVER BREAK ANYTHING. Not even a scratch. Hire them, you won’t regret it. They’re also really nice people.

Above All Movers are the best!
Hakim, and his team are always so helpful and professional.
I have moved twice with them and they have done and excellent job every time.
They are very fast but also take the time to move your things the right way.
Thanks!

This review is long overdue. I’m a Marine who was stationed out in SD a few years back. As a single guy, on deployments, I had to move all my stuff in and out of storage. Out of all the moves I’ve had in the military, these guys are BY FAR the best movers I’ve had. Hakim was quick to help and his prices are the most reasonable I’ve ever seen. I used him for 4 moves. After that first time, he had me sold. They were lightening fast. No smoke breaks, no sitting around. They took good care of my stuff. No damage to anything. And he had at least 4 guys on every move.
The main reason I’m remembering to write this… Now in DC and evaluating movers, no one comes close to the price and the quality these guys have. Most movers here charge a fortune and don’t have as many guys come and help. I didn’t realize how good I had it when I lived out west. If I come back, Hakim will be the one I call.

Above All Movers were recomened to me by a coworker. It was the best thing i could of ever done. The team came in and had me moved with in 3hrs. door to door. I would use them again!

I have had to move more times than I care to count or remember. I have used several different movers in the past, but never felt compelled to write a review until now.
Hakim and his crew were absolutely amazing! Prior to this last move, the two moves before that were at least $ 300 more than what I ended up paying with Above All Movers. They also did the entire move in about half the time. I am a parent, have an in home office, as well as in home Gyrotonic studio (a workout similar to Pilates), so I have LOTS of stuff! Hakim and his team were punctual, polite, professional, FAST and careful with my possessions as well at the walls of the home etc.
I highly recommend using them!

Akim never fails me. I recommended him for our huge office move and he delivered. Efficient. Careful. Courteous. Fast. Half the price of the other guys. I can’t say enough good things about him and his crew. Definitely give him a call.

This company came to me recommended by a friend who uses movers in her business daily– so I figured they would be the one to use. I had already done some «comparison shopping” — and found that they were less than some competitors. I spoke to Hakim– who I understand owns the business. He mentioned a 4 hour minimum, and I asked him if I needed them for more time, would that be possible. I explained that I had a lot of antique armoires that required disassembling and reassembling. His reply was that «I had them for all day– I’d be there only job.» He told me the hourly rate, we agreed, and on moving day they showed up. 40 minutes later than promised– but no big deal.
The moment he walked in the door he looks around and says– «This is going to be $xxx and names a price FAR higher than we had ever talked about. You have a lot of stuff here– way more than you told me.» We had not EVER discussed how much stuff I had, just that we would be working on an hourly basis. His whole attitude was– for lack of a better word– very Ghetto.
Now it’s the day I must move– what do I do?
We go on with the move. His workers were all hard working and nice. Hakim ½ fills the truck then says «You have too much stuff, we need to make 2 trips.» I asked why they didn’t just fill up the first truck, then come back for the second load. He wouldn’t really give me an answer. When the items were out of the house, I had storage sheds on my property, some patio furniture and plants. He refused to move any of that– telling me he had 2 other jobs to get to. The move (at least the part he participated in) was finished in 4 hours and 10 minutes…
I ended up having to get a friend to help me before work the whole next week to move things over to my new house– a REAL hassle and adding a lot of stress to a move.
I would NEVER use this company– nor recommend them.
