They were amazing and efficient!!!! They even got my 70in computer desk upstairs without having to take it apart, which probably saved some major time, they moved all my stuff in under 3 hours! None of my furniture was damaged and nothing went missing either! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! And if you pay in cash, they have the best price in San Diego!!!!!

I've never had much luck with movers. Even after checking reviews and doing my research, I often ended up disappointed with the service. But with California Movers, I can definitely say that Bob and Sula changed my experience completely! They were very nice, reliable, professional, and careful with all my furniture and belongings. They handled everything with care, worked efficiently, and made sure my items were safely moved. They were also friendly, respectful, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. Moving can be very stressful, but Bob and Sula made everything much easier for me. I truly appreciate their hard work and excellent service. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable movers. Thank you, Bob and Sula!

Vladimir, Sergey, and Valera are the best movers I’ve ever hired! They are true hard workers, very professional, friendly, and extremely easy to communicate with. They showed up on time, worked quickly and carefully, and made the whole moving process so much easier. You can tell they really care about doing a great job. I highly recommend Cali Moving Company if you want reliable, hardworking, and professional movers!

We had Vladimir and Sergei. They were professional and on time. They worked non stop to move my 2 bedroom house. They handled everything with care and paid attention to detail. They communicated well and honestly I couldn’t have asked for a more seamless move during this stressful time! Thank you so much and I would highly recommend this company and specifically these 2 men.

Five days before I needed to move I called cali movers. They gave me the best offer of four different movers. Five days later 4 men showed up, packed the truck in 3.5 hours and was moved 600 miles away by 8am. They did it at the price they said.

Hired Cali Moving and Storage a week ago for my move from SD to LA, was hesitating from the beginning as I got several recommendations from my friends of different companies, but I didn’t regret my decision at all. Neat professional movers, price was reasonable, matched my expectations. Handled all my belongings carefully. Highly recommended

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the trust! We know choosing between moving companies is tough, so it means a lot that your San Diego to LA move lived up to expectations. We are glad our crew handled everything carefully and kept the pricing straightforward. Highly appreciated!

Tyrece and Paul were rockstars! They moved me out of my studio and into my new place so quickly with ease. They were also super sweet and friendly and you could tell they knew what they were doing. Thank you both!

Response from the owner:Thank you, Maddie! Tyrece and Paul will be thrilled to hear this. We are glad they made your San Diego move quick and easy, and that the friendly service showed. Enjoy the new place!

What a last-minute move covers

Loading and unloading on short notice
Padding and wrapping furniture before it goes on the truck
Disassembling and reassembling standard furniture
Transport between your old and new address across the San Diego area
Setting boxes and furniture down in the rooms you choose

A rushed timeline does not mean rushed work. Your move gets the same movers, equipment, and care as one booked weeks ahead.

When we can move you same day

Same-day availability depends on the day and how booked we are, so the earlier in the day you call, the better the chance we can fit you in. Month-end and weekends fill first. If we cannot move you today, we will give you the soonest slot we have, often the next morning, rather than leave you waiting.

What helps us move you fast

The biggest thing that speeds up a last-minute move is how ready the home is when our movers arrive. Boxes taped and stacked, furniture cleared of loose items, and a parking spot held near the door all cut the time on the clock. If you have not had time to pack, we can bring materials and pack for you, though that adds time to the job.

Where we serve

Our movers cover the whole area for rush jobs. Most last-minute moves are handled across San Diego, and up in North County we are usually close enough from Carlsbad to reach you quickly.

Booking a rush move

Call as early as you can and have your two addresses, the size of the move, and your access details ready. We will confirm what we can do, give you a clear quote on the spot, and get movers headed your way. If your new place is not ready, we can also hold your belongings in storage until you are.
