Mike’s Moving Solutions

Though this review is a little late in the post, back in March 2016 I employed Mike’s movers and I have to say, I’ve never seen a more efficient, professional, down to brass tacks moving crew then the guys that Mike sent me. Three men and a truck made my move totally painless. This was my first time utilizing such a service, and I am here to tell you, if you’re going from point A to B, you would have to have some malfunction not to hire this team! I couldn’t be more happy with the whole outcome and best part, NOTHING was chipped, scratched or broken (as I’ve read from other reviews). They care about getting your stuff to its destination safely!

I called Mike’s to inquire about moving and had a ton of questions. Shari was whom I spoke with. I cannot say enough about her professionalism and how easy she made the process seem. I have not finalized my move, but I know who I will be utilizing when I do! Thanks Shari!

This company is amazing! I have moved so many times and the ideal move is stressful at best. They exceeded my expectations! Mike personally came over and helped us finish packing. He even asked my daughter’s name and told me which box had her phone charger. They were organized and professional. One of the movers even brought me a bottle of cold water in the afternoon. They are the best moving company ever!

We received three recommendations for movers from our real estate broker. After a review, we choose Mike’s. The quote was for three men, for 8 ½ hours. The price was very competitive and we were impressed with Mike’s honesty. The quoted prices was to be reduced if less time was needed to complete the job, in ¼ hour increments. The men arrived on time and worked very quickly. They were friendly and very competent. I expected 4 hours for the packing — they took 3−½. Our new address is only about 5 minutes from our old one. The men stopped for lunch, that lasted approx 45 minutes. We were never told that this was part of the 8 ½ hours. The move-​in was completed in three hours, again very fast. The team leader asked for a check for the full amount. When I complained, he told me the office would deal with the issue. After they left, I called the office and they sent the driver back with a corrected amount that met my expectations. The men were a bit difficult to deal with in regard to the exact placement of our furniture. They removed the two bed skirts when they disassembled the beds. When the beds were reassembled, they did not put the skirts back on. We didn’t notice until after they left. One would think professional movers would know enough to put them back, especially for a king sized bed that is impossible to do without at least two strong people. When packing, they removed all light bulbs from the lamps. After the move-​in was complete and the men left, we discovered the light bulbs were no where to be found. I would tell anyone to use this company — BUT make sure you get all the information up front; and keep a very careful eye on everything, otherwise you might end up being left in the dark.

Shari and her team were on time and so accommodating. They made a very stressful time, much easier to deal with and stress free. The movers packed everything well and professionally. I would use them again for sure!

I had to schedule a last minute move, and Shari and team could not have been more accommodating. My entire experience with them was great! They were on-​time, and fast at both the packing of my house, as well as the loading of the truck. Everything was handled professionally and with care. The price was was good, and the 4 man crew was excellent! I will definitely use them the next time I need to move.

This is THE BEST MOVING COMPANY EVER!!!
From the second I talked to Shari on the phone, I knew I was in good hands. She was simply the greatest phone personality I’ve ever encountered. Sweet, smart, quick and understanding. We had a crazy fast move. I called them on a Wednesday, needing to move from West Hills to Beverly Hills (on the 6^th floor of a complicated building) on that Monday. No problem for these guys! She had Mike himself out for the estimate the very next day. He even went out of his way to bring me boxes because he could tell we were busy & overwhelmed packing ourselves. How sweet was that? Oh and he also let us borrow wardrobe boxes which saved me a couple hundred bucks!
Our moving team of Chris, Jeff, Carlos & Francisco were perfect and quick. They were done early and made everything smooth and easy. Also, their price can’t be beat. I can’t say enough about this amazing company. This is as good as it gets.

What would we have done without these guys???
We were moving my mom from a 3 bedroom, 2 story house to an apartment and she had lots of furniture that she wasn’t giving up. Shari was very nice and helpful over the phone and set us up on the day/​time we needed with 2 movers. Mike called me the day prior to let me know that there was a slight chance the movers were going to be a little late the next morning in case of traffic (but they weren’t they were right on time). I appreciated the heads up!
Chris and Francisco showed up Saturday morning, we spent about 10 minutes walking around the house showing them what was staying and what was going and then they got to work!!! These two guys worked for 7 hours straight, only stopping to eat quickly on the way to our new apartment and no matter how hard something was or heavy etc. they moved it onto and off of the truck and even made jokes along the way. They were very friendly and so helpful. We could not have moved without them! Everything was moved, put where we wanted, and nothing was broken. These guys did not stand around and waste time, they just worked their butts off for us and we are so appreciative. Thank you Shari, Mike, Chris, and Francisco for taking such good care of us!

This company is great! We had a very complicated move to make from a large storage unit AND a rental house. Mike came by and coordinated how we would do it and it all went according to plan amazingly! He also gave us a very fair price. All the guys were so polite, hard working and very respectful. Mike left us with Chris to lead the crew and us… and he was a great leader. We also have 6 pets and they were totally understanding of that and worked with us to coordinate around them… plus they all love pets and were very friendly to them!
The office manager Shari was also very helpful when things came up.
The only person who broke anything was me! I dropped a box and they all heard it. It was funny because when they realized it wasn’t one of them and it was me… we all had a good laugh!
Hopefully I don’t have to move for a long time but when I do, I would hire Mike and his crew again!

My very elderly parents moved to an assisted living facility and I needed to bring some of their furniture. Their once-​beautiful home has slowly turned into kind of a disaster area and I was pretty stressed out about the whole thing. The facility staff recommended Mike’s Moving Solutions, who specialize in «senior moving» and have moved several other residents into the facility. I called and spoke with Shari, who made all the arrangements and then called me back to change the arrival time slightly.
On moving day the team arrived promptly, introduced themselves politely and came inside to assess the job. They swung into action, handling all my quirky requests, i.e., move these two bureaus with their contents intact, empty the contents of that bureau and desk into boxes and move just the furniture, move those fragile lamps. They brought three guys but only charged me for two because we had arranged for two. The whole job was done in about 2.5 hours and they were kind enough to take a piece to my home on their way back – something they definitely did not have to do.
The thing that impressed me most was the way they were with my parents, lovely and friendly people who both suffer from dementia and can’t form short-​term memories. My mother asked one of the crew how tall he is several times and he answered her with a smile each time; she asked another how long he had been doing this type of work and how he got into the business 4 or 5 times and he patiently explained again and again. When they were ready to leave they shook my dad’s hand, gave my mom a little squeeze and wished them well. In spite of the 100-​plus-​degree heat these guys were calm, professional and efficient, turning an ordeal into a rousing success. You hear so many horror stories about the moving business but with Mike’s Moving Solutions your story can have a happy ending!

Once again, Mike to the rescue!!! The guys at Mike’s Moving Solutions did such a fantastic job for our first move, that we absolutely went back to have them move us again. The wife and I were not disappointed!
First of all, these guys WORK. There is no playing around, no breaks, no one disappearing. They show up on time, professionally pack all your belongings (by either running with what you have already packed, packing it themselves, or a combo), and get to your new home quick.
Second, not one thing damaged or broken. No holes in walls, no dirty carpets. AMAZING.
Third, the guys are very professionally dressed and smell good! This might get a few snickers, but it speaks volumes when guys show up in a professional manner. It’s a sweaty tough job, but they maintain a high level of professionalism throughout the job… even if your 10,000lb dresser on the 5^th floor is breaking their back :(
I’d also like to say that I was a HUGE pain-​in-​the-​butt customer this time around. The house we were buying fell through, then we got it, then it fell through, then we got it again. I felt like I was giving poor Shari the runaround so much. But she stayed in contact with me the whole time and was able to accommodate our move in date. That’s a HUGE plus.
Let’s face it, moving is stressful. Mikes Moving Solutions seriously makes it look easy. I don’t think we will be moving for a while, but Mike also has a number of other services. We will certainly be repeat Mikes customers!

What a great experience! Every one of the guys was wonderful. Each one introduced themselves when we saw them for the first time. It felt like we were meeting friends of friends. Super nice, courteous, and professional, starting with Mike himself. We felt safe having them in our home. We’d have any of them over for a BBQ anytime, they are the kind of people that we would consider friends. Ray is an animal… the items that he lifted and carried independently were astonishing at times. Francisco joked that he doesn’t do that anymore… the camaraderie amongst the group made for a fun day even though it was stressful and crazy. Chris, Brett, Jeff too; all the guys were great. I think that was everyone working that day… and two trucks. A VERY long day. All items have arrived intact and without harm. They did take special care of everything and truly seemed to treat everything as if it were their own (including stuff they didn’t pack, which was a lot) including the attention they paid to the house itself; both the rental and our new home. Our 14 month old daughter was there the whole time. All of the guys were very sweet with her. The price was fair and we had a large move. We received several estimates and Mike was the most reasonable. Shari in the office was wonderful to work with too! They know how to do this whole moving thing VERY WELL. We highly recommend them and although we don’t plan to move again anytime soon, we wouldn’t hire anyone but Mikes to do the job.

My review is a little different – at 6pm, Friday of Labor Day weekend this year, the moving company my boyfriend had hired to move a friend hadn’t shown up and the person had to be out of the apartment by the next day. I told him I’d start looking but not to hold his breath.
I called Mike’s Moving Solutions, left a voice mail never figuring I’d hear back at that time of day but Mike called. He would have a crew available Saturday afternoon which would have been a lifesaver. The ‘other company’ finally showed up shortly after that so I ended up not using Mike.
I was so impressed that he called back quickly, that he would have been able to bail us out on a holiday weekend based on a last minute call, I have to give him a shout out. He’s definitely at the top of the list for any moving recommendations going forward. Thanks Mike!

AMAZINGLY HELPFUL!
Mike and crew were recommended from a Sr. facility my mother was moving into. I was in an awful situation where my mother was left alone after my father passed away earlier in the year and I was not able to come out from Ct. They went out of their way to assist my 88 yr. old mother with her move. They then came back after the Estate Sale and cleared the remaining items from the house. Mike and Shari were a delight to work with and would definitely recommend.

YOU GUYS were GREAT!
Awesome to deal with from start to finish! We were recommended by the manager of our Apartment building. Shari in the office was professional friendly & helpful. The three guys they sent were fast, careful & very nice. They moved my dads very heavy/​bulky stuff from one end of a very large complex to the other very easily. I had to do the same type of move a few days later & they gave me a great quote and were wonderful to deal with! Would definitely recommend them to anyone. Already passing out their number to everyone I know!
Keep up the good work!

Mike’s guys were awesome! Three guys, one large truck, four and half hours. The guys were great about taking direction where to put things, as well as with which items to be particularly careful. I tend to be quite picky about my stuff, and I was so pleased with the move. They communicated with me and with each other very well. Most importantly, they were great with my puppy who can be, well, a total bitch. She’s pretty loud for her 5.5 lbs.
I got a few business cards to give to friends and family who have asked me for reliable movers. Top notch service!
