Johnson & Daly Moving & Storage

These guys know exactly what it’s like to move and were helpful in so many ways. We put our house on the market in November of 2014. We took out about half of our furniture to ‘stage’ our house. The house didn’t sell and we want just some of our stuff back. They accommodated our every need. Then in April we sold our house and needed to be packed up again. We didn’t find a house until November 2015 and again moved us. We want to thank Mario and his guys for making this so easy. I highly recommend Johnson & Daly.

If not for Mike Volpe and his team of packers and movers, we would still have one of our cars sitting in Tiburon. After the auto mover told us, after 2 months notice, that they had no driver to pick up and deliver one of our cars, Mike got on it and with just three days to spare, we had the car placed, it was picked up and delivered to Palm Desert on time. The packers and Tornado Bill got us all wrapped up and stored. Two months latter they delivered on time as arranged. Hard to beat such service. Thanks to all at Johnson & Daly.

From the quote process through moving and unpacking, Johnson and Daly exceeded my expectations. While somewhat costlier than others, J&D has a better rep and now I see why. The crew, Randy, Bruno, and Martin, were on-​time, careful with our delicate items and our heavy furniture, and didn’t waste any time. They took the time to put everything exactly where we wanted it in our new house. All in all, this was about as stress-​free as a move can be. I’d never use anyone else in Marin.

Johnson & Daly helped us get out of a tight spot. We had hired one of their competitors who decided on the day of our move that they didn’t want our business after I complained about their changing the pick time from 8AM to 6PM. We called Johnson & Daly who we had used in 2002 when we moved into our house and were very happy with. Why we didn’t use them in the first place with this move I don’t know. They came to our house within a couple of hours of our call to look at furniture and give us an estimate. They didn’t take advantage of our last minute emergency and gave us a reasonable estimate. Less than the competitor. They said they would be there at 9am the next day to perform the move. They showed up the next day at exactly 9! They packed us up and moved us without any issues in just over 3 hours. Thank you Johnson & Daly for saving our day!!!

My move was very confusing because I had to move out of my house a few months ago, putting some things in storage and moving some things into a house that was being remodeled. All went extremely well. Now after many months of living out of 2 suitcases I decided to move into my newly remodeled but still unfinished house. Therefore once again I did a partial move. Randy and his crew were great. All very accommodating, friendly, and efficient. I did a bit of rearranging once the furniture was in the house and everyone did it with a smile. I wouldn’t think of ever using another moving company! Georgene

I’ve used Johnson & Daly three times in the last 4 years and most recently for a very complicated move that required some of our things to go into short term storage and later be delivered to SF and some of our things to go into long term storage that just got delivered to Davis. I’ve enjoyed everyone I’ve interacted with in the company, from Mario who comes to give the quotes, the foreman who coordinates the pickups and deliveries, and the women I speak to over the phone to pay my storage fees or confirm move dates.
Unfortunately I still have more Bay area moves in my future but fortunately I know who to call to get my stuff where it needs to go. So glad to have found these guys.

About a month ago, on a Tuesday, Mario came over to calculate how many boxes needed. Two days later his crew: Randy, Javier, Martin, Bruno, Victor, Gerardo and Bruno packed and moved everything for me. It went like clockwork. I didn’t have to think, worry or sweat it because they thought of everything. At my new place, they even helped me take things out of the wardrobe boxes! It couldn’t have been done any better, because they saw to it all. I highly recommend this moving company and when I move to my permanent place they will be moving me in there too. Thank you all for such a great move.

I had met Mario (the general manager for Johnson & Daly Moving) through friends years ago and have enjoyed hearing his work tales over the years. When I needed to bust «operation stealth secret mission move» for a close friend, I knew who I had to call to get the job done right. Well let me tell you, the job done exceeded my expectations. 2 nice fellas, Javier and Levi showed up right on time and were super courteous and ready to bust a move. With my help, the 3 of us moved the contents of my friend’s entire house in just 2 hours… I couldn’t believe we got it all done that fast. Mario orchestrated the move seamlessly and Javier and Levi are the hardest workers I’ve ever met. Don’t break your back moving again, call these awesome movers! Highly recommend!

These guys did my move from a place I had lived in for 28 years. They arrived right on time and worked efficiently with very pleasant attitudes. They arrived right on time at the move-​in location and handled all items with care. They went 15 minutes over the maximum time estimate, but the price stayed at the ‘not to exceed’ quote. After the focused, friendly, supportive work, the foreman said he had to go to the truck to get the approval on my credit card. When he returned he handed me 2 chilled champagne glasses and a bottle of Cuvee champagne. He said, «My boss wants to congratulate you.» The gesture was classy for sure, but it would not have meant a thing without the amazing job Roberto, Martin, and Levi did for us.

We’ve used Johnson & Daly 4 times in the past 7 year for 3 long-​distance & 1 local moves. My employer used them to move us from LA to the Bay Area back in 2008 and we were so impressed with them that we keep returning to Johnson & Daly for our personal moves. Everyone in the office, drivers and movers are all professional, courteous and efficient. They have been accommodating to our needs, and their rates are very reasonable. Most importantly we trust them with our stuff.

i have moved twice in the last 3 months. I can honestly say hands down they have been the best moving experience I have ever had. The guys were polite and helpful. They took all the stress out of moving. I would never use another company again after using Johnson & Daily. I highly recommend them for any move.

We have moved three times in 25 years, two in the past six months. Daly & Johnson moved us for both recent moves. They were easy, fast and thoughtful. Tito oversaw the packing and storing and every aspect of the moves — packing, storage, delivery and placement — went smoothly. And the price was right.

Our experience with Johnson and Daly Moving was absolutely fantastic. From the beginning to the end of our move was handled perfectly. We highly praise our movers, Randy and Jerry, who worked tirelessly through the entire day in hot weather and with challenging conditions in the move i.e. multiple furniture drop off points, stairs going out of our existing residence, narrow staircase into our new residence, requests to move the large truck on numerous occasions, and some heavy furniture pieces. All of these conditions were handled with finesse and professionalism. We commend everyone at Johnson Daly Moving from the first contact with Mike to final thank you phone call to Mario, the general manager. We recommend this moving company to anyone desiring complete piece of mind with their move. Just a great experience. Thank you to Jonson and Daly Moving.

Moving is really stressful, but we had a great experience with this company.
They showed up right on time (even a little bit earlier than we expected!) wrapped everything to safely travel, and were on their way to our new house.
Best part… total bill came in below the estimate… yay!

I am so pleased with this company for a few reasons. Called to set up an estimate and actually spoke with a human vs an answering machine. Thinking it might take a few days, I was blown away they offered to come that morning from San Rafeal to Martinez.
I was very nervous about our move out of concern our property would get damaged, especially our pin ball machine. It is very heavy and had to be taken down a flight of stairs then turned on a very small landing. I did not think they would be able to get into that room. They made it look easy.
I am so impressed by the planning, preparation and care this company took to move our furniture. For example, they used three trucks. We did not have enough stuff to fill three and thought there had been a big mistake. I learned later they do not charge by the truck. By using more, they can load faster and protect the furniture by not stacking other items on top of them. Also, the new house has a parking area that can only accommodate a small truck, not a 24 foot van. So using three made it efficient.
I also liked they would not exceed the estimated price and told our actual cost would most likely be less, and it was. I liked that I could use as many of their boxes I needed and not required to return them.
I contacted only Winters to compare price etc. I called twice, got an answering machine both times. First time I just hung up, second left a message. My call was answered about 4 – 5 hours later. He did not want to come over, did the estimate via the phone. His estimate was around $ 2,500. A low bid may be enticing, but most likely won’t stay low by the time the job is done and then you really don’t know what it will really cost you.
Our final cost with Johnson and Daly was about $ 1,400 less than the quoted $ 4,700 and worth every penny. If you want a company who will do it right, efficiently and treat your property with care, then use Johnson and Daly.

Not sure I could be more pleased. We enjoyed the best moving experience in history last weekend, my wife twice wondering aloud to me how it was possible to move two trucks worth of stuff from one house to another without stress. Thanks to the efforts of Robert, Xavier, Martin, and Javier, we cannot recommend Johnson & Daly more highly. The team was a model of efficiency, putting on a clinic of how to move heavy and awkwardly-​shaped items and pack them carefully on a truck. Very impressed by how the team worked together to ensure safety for one another, as well as safety for our stuff. That the entire move took place so quickly is truly amazing. Thank you again Robert, Xavier, Martin, and Javier! Each of you went above and beyond to ensure what could have been a stressful day, was far from it. Highest recommendation from our family.

My husband likes them, I think they are a significant pain in the ass to work with. They have a lot of rules — for example, your stuff needs to be packed in covered, sealed boxes — top & bottom. Everything. That’s fine if you are UPS, but the average person has a mix of things, and on moving day, I can’t always find a box big enough to hold my laundry basket, standing fan, or a 2 desk drawers. We wound up having to move a van full of things ourselves. So, to me, it was really like hiring someone to do about 75% of your move.

Johnson & Daly gets our vote as «Best Movers of Marin.» Our experience of moving from two sites (home & storage) across state lines was as pleasurable as it could possibly be from the first moment (getting Sandy’s estimate and thorough explanation of the entire process) to the move itself, to the final billing. What an efficient and hard-​working team!

I’m an organizer. I packed a household for a client and called Johnson and Daly to get their guys to move her belongings. It was a complicated move because the client had a great deal of stuff and she moved into a large house where it need to be distributed all over (as opposed a storage to storage move). Although they estimated the truck volume just fine, the move took two hours longer than projected. The team they sent (all 7 of them) worked their tails off! And they were polite and helpful until the last piece of furniture was put in place. They were quiet and courteous. I never heard a grumble or saw a smirk of any kind. They were pleasant and supportive at every step. I would happily collaborate with them again.

I have moved many times in my life and I can safely say this is the best moving company I have ever worked with. These guys were a dream.
Prompt, Fast, Strong, Thoughtful, Patient, Professional and remarkably affordable!
Thank you, Randy and Bruno! You guys are the best.
