They were very easy to do business with. From the first phone call for the estimate - they were friendly and knowledgeable and quite helpful. When it came time for the actual move, they called me the day before to give me the time frame. On the day of the move, they were efficient, prompt, and absolutely wonderful.
Description of Work: I had Mid Cal move two pianos for me.

They quoted a price and it turned out to be almost a $1,000.00 more. They brought the boxes in the rooms first and then the furniture. This made it complicating to get to the items. My dogs even had a hard time maneuvering with the way they placed the items they did not know how to get out. I fought the price and they ended up giving $500.00 back as they did do extra work than what was quoted. The work took them from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM and I was just moving 10 minutes away. It took me a month just to get the right boxes in right rooms. I would not recommend them.
Description of Work: This was for moving service. The cost was between $1,600.00 to $1,800.00 and was supposed to be around $1,000.00.

Response from Mid Cal Moving & Storage Company
I am truly sorry that the customer feels as she does regarding our service. We originally gave her an estimate for $2,600.00 to complete her move. She did not want to pay that much and asked that we just do what we can get done for $1500.00, which we agreed to do. When the men came out to do the work, the customer was not ready to go, and had not got done what she needed and agreed to do in order to keep the cost down. She changed her mind at that time and ask that we go ahead and do what was needed to get the job done, understanding that the move would cost more. As we were only prepared to do $1,500 worth of work, the move did go into the evening. When the move was completed an invoice was presented to the customer for $2,340.00. She paid the bill. Later during the week, she called and said she should not have had to pay that much, although she knew the hourly rate, and did change her mind and want more services as the move was taking place. I asked her what she thought would be a fair amount. She asked for $500.00 off of the move. Simply as a gesture of good will, and an attempt to satisfy her, I agreed, and we reimbursed her $500.00. In addition, the customer moved into a smaller place than what she had moved out of, and there simply was not enough room to place everything. Again, I am sincerely sorry that we were not able to satisfy this customer.

The service turned out pretty good. The foreman was very experienced and the other employees were just regular labor employees and you could really tell that. The labor they produced was fine they just made comments about the work that was disconcerting. They worked really hard to make sure that we filled out the survey and it was late. They worked too hard to get us to fill that out. The labor cost twice as much as the estimate. They came at a totally different time than they said they would.
Description of Work: They move furniture and personal items from one location to another.

I have never had a problem with them. They came and packed my stuff up at an independent facility. It looked like they did a good packing job and I'm sure everything will be fine. They were really nice to work with. They were respectful. They moved the stuff from an independent facility into a crate for long term storage.
Description of Work: I currently use them for storage. I moved from Northern California to Southern California and I am using their storage service up north still.

From the estimate, to the friendly advice, to the pleasant manner of the team who moved us everything was as good as it could possibly be!
Description of Work: Home moving locally. Moved all our furniture from one home to another - explained I was on a tight budget and it was myself and two girls. They were honest, friendly, helpful and concerned - made a tough experience almost pleasant for us.

They were supposed to be at my house at 8:30 AM. We found out that the driver was 2 and a half hours away. I had to leave to get to the hotel in time for check in. I left a third party member in charge to tell them what to take. They gave me a three day window to deliver my stuff. I couldn't get a hold of him the first day. They second day I was finally able to get a hold of him by cell phone. The third day he showed up but said he couldn't get the truck up the road. They we supposed to be here at 8 am and didn't show up till 11:30. They said they had to go transfer my stuff to a different truck. They finally showed up at 9 pm and took till 11:30 to unload it. I am missing items, and some things have been damaged. I requested a claim form over a week ago and still haven't received it. Overall I am very dissatisfied with this company.
Description of Work: They helped me move from California to Colorado.

OUTSTANDING! I highly recommend them for anything. I felt like my stuff was well taken care off, the movers were kind, on time and gentle. "Yes sir, no sir." What is a very stressful situation was quickly turned into a seamless, less stressful task. THANK YOU!
Description of Work: I moved from a two story 3 bed/2 bath with a backyard and basement full of crap into a smaller home in the same city. They moved EVERYTHING, helped pack and unpack.
