Petes Moving Services

I would give 0 stars if I could, after paying Pete's over 5k to move our stuff. We found many broken items, that we were not even told about. we tried to call him many times and left voice mails but he never returns our call. We also had to help unload a truck when we were told that other helpers would be "their any minute" to help. One of his guys even sent pics of the damage, after we spoke to Pete about them he will look at them again, then tell us if he is going to make a claim or not?? They were broke by his team packing and unloading.  My advice stay away from Petes unless you like throwing your money away.

We moved from Central Valley to San Jose and these guys were Incredible! We  have probably used 5 moving  companies in the past, but this one blew our minds. It was  raining like  crazy and these  guys came and moved everything in record time. They also called ahead and let us know when they would arrive at the time we had scheduled. They wrapped every little thing with amazing precision and had the best attitude. All of our furniture arrived to our new home without a scratch or dent. The crew also made sure to place all of our furniture where we wanted it. I am so thankful for Pete's Moving services! I want to thank the crew and Pete, the guy in charge. He  was wonderful, polite, professional and super helpful.  I highly recommend this company to anyone who is planning to move! .

Unfortunately I cannot recommend Petes moving because of the terrible professionalism and lack to make good on damaged furniture!
I have never encountered such a horrible move!!
First it took 16 hours to complete the move, only moving to the next city.
Second the movers did not protect the furniture, therefore it was damaged.
Lastly, Pete texted me that he would make good on the damaged items and yet after two months nothing. He does not respond to texts nor returns my calls.
It is now going to have to be settled in court.

Set up a Friday move. They did not show Friday at all. They called and said since I didn't call them the day before to confirm (which was not told to me upon my initial scheduling) they scheduled their guys somewhere else. Told me they would be here Saturday between 12 and 3 pm. Saturday after multiple calls to get eta after 3 pm they show up at 5pm and say the need to call their boss. The owner "Pete" calls my wife and said "sorry we don't have time to do it tonight we need to cancel". Not, we will be there first thing tomorrow. Not I'm sorry here's a referral for another company. Just cancelled.. Exactly how am I supposed to get a mover at 5:30pm on a Saturday? Please do yourself a favor and do not put yourself in this nightmare. Please let my nightmare save you.

Petes Moving Services did not deliver as ordered - 3 movers in min 2 hours. They only showed up 2 movers. I still had to pay the full price for all 3 movers even though I helped the team, so we finished within the 2 hours. NEVER AGAIN Petes Moving Services. The 2 movers worked hard to get my 26ft truck unloaded as quickly as possible. Did a good job. Even though I now have spend the entire day to sort the boxes to the right rooms as not enough time due to the missing mover. I can recommend Brian and John to do the job. $470.00 plus Tip - is outrageous for 2 movers in 2 hours. Never again.

I had a 3rd floor 2BR (2 adults/2 kids) that I needed loaded onto to a Penske rental truck with ~ 3 days notice. We had packed most of the items in the apartment into boxes and staged them near the door. There were pieces of furniture, mattresses, and loose items that the movers packed up or bundled with the furniture using cellophane wrap. Kaydin, Matt, and Elijah arrived within the specified time window and worked at a steady pace to get the job done close to the initial time estimate despite several winding flights of stairs. The guys were professional and did a good job loading the truck and using some large items (furniture/mattresses) as a bulkhead to wall in the boxes. Everything was so efficiently packed that I probably could have rented a size smaller truck. I drove through mountains and valleys from CA to OH and everything was still in place when I arrived in Ohio. All of our breakables arrived in one piece.

William, Kaydin, and Brian did a great job today. They are efficient, friendly, and interested in good customer service. They worked solidly for nearly 2 hours unloading a 16x8x8 container that had been in storage 3 months while we completed a 5 room remodel. I stood and pointed out where I wanted everything to be placed, and they set (and sometimes reset, if I needed) and placed everything accordingly. I appreciated how careful they were of the more fragile items. They cleaned up completely afterward. Would have been 5 stars but they were 1 & 1/2 hours late (they did call & let me know) and they didn't realize all of the moving blankets were ours (My husband came out & told them we had paid for them, when they were putting them into their truck. They called their office & confirmed it. But they should have known.).
