McCarthy Moving & Storage

McMcarthy moving saved my move! Specifically Denis- he was fabulous! I ended booking another mover which was a huge mistake! Denis was able to pick up the slack squeeze me in the next day (after my failed move!) to get the job done! The guys were super nice, careful, and strong! I can't say enough good things about the process- moving is always such a pain and they made it as easy as possible!

I don't plan to move anytime again, I will absolutely use McCarthy moving and they'll be my number 1 recommendation for friends and family in the area!

Since McCarthy changed hands, I used them twice to do internal moving within my house. Both times, there was always one rude mover who would not listen to my instructions on what I needed.
I told the Owner he understood the first time when it happened (or seemed to) but just recently he didn't really seem to care how I was treated by his men on the second trip. Now the owner himself has started disrespecting me. I asked if he would take a credit card and he Said no. I told him I was leaving town for a few days and would pay upon return. He agreed to that verbally on the phone then sent me a bill that I had to ask for which was a lower price and the suddenly he sends me a new bill with a higher price. Not good business at all. I will never be using this Company again. I wish I could rate this Company zero!

I highly recommend McCarthy Moving and Storage. Tom McCarthy and his crew are excellent! They're extremely hard-working, caring, respectful and courteous. They work quickly and made a difficult move seem easy. I don't know what I would have done without them. They consulted with me every step of the way and anticipated potential issues in advance. You can't beat experience and you'll find the McCarthy team has plenty of it. After the McCarthy team packed up and stored our belongings during the first part of the pandemic, we ended up moving out of state. Denis and Kieran handled that part of our move superbly. Everything arrived in great condition--nothing was broken or lost. These are movers you can trust! You owe it to yourself to call them first.

McCarthy came to us via a recommendation & I'm glad they did! They moved us on very short notice and provided a huge & personable crew to get the job done quickly before anyone got too tired & emotional.

Moving house is a draining & confusing process - so many decisions. The team kept things calm & did whatever we asked of them. They were very good about making sure we did multiple walkthroughs to ensure nothing was forgotten & everything was in its place.

Of course, shit happens & things go wrong, you've got to be prepared for that. Tom McCarthy went above & beyond to make sure we were happy and that if there was anything to put right, it was done.

Highly recommend them, if you're moving, call Tom, take a deep breath & relax!

Tom and his crew would get 6 stars if possible. They are extremely courteous and professional and treated our valuables with the utmost care.
The move was extremely difficult and complicated. We didn't think the large items would be able to be moved. They made it look easy.

Highly recommended!!

Thank you Bryce, Nick, Timmy and Scheron for being a great moving crew to get me out of my previous home and into my new home with quickness and very little difficulties. There were challenges in the home I sold, but together we solved each issue. Thanks again for giving me a moving experience that was manageable for a stressful situation.

Excellent service! My family has been using McCarthy Moving for years. Tom is a great guy and makes sure he has the best men for the job. The guys are all respectful, personable, strong, and meticulous. I always appreciate their attention to detail when putting items back together. Never had anything break. I was quite nervous because this was the first move where I had to make lots of decisions, but Tom and his men were so awesome they made me relax. One of the guys gave a great tip with a large sectional that was overpowering the room- take out a piece! Everything looks great and we are so happy! Thank you Tom and team! You did it again!

Seems like a good company, but when I called for a quote, the woman with whom I spoke was very curt, to the point where I was offended.

I hate moving more than sucking balls

BUT...

I have poor memory. And I get tired of places rather quickly. And I horde stuff. So if I don't run out of space to store my crap, then eventually I run out of rooms to decorate and I get bored. And I LOVE house hunting.

So every 18 months or so (when the painful memory of the previous move has left me completely) I start "browsing" while trying not to get noticed by Mr. S who hates moving even more and doesn't share my need for frequent scenery changes. Eventually I let him in on my plan, we fight, i win and we move.

Since moving back to the Bay Area 9 years ago, I have managed to move 5 times and Tom McCarthy and the gang have helped me through every one of those painful experiences. His team is always professional, experienced and courteous. They are easy to work with, dependable, fast and have never damaged a thing. You may save a few bucks with Starving Students but you wouldn't get the expertise and the dependability of McCarthy's.

I'm feeling the itch...

I hope to use them again soon.

We used McCarthy Moving 5 years ago, but the experience was so bad that it still makes me angry when thinking about it.

We moved across town, and honestly, the guys worked really really hard. But when it came time to settle the bill, the head guy threw a fit that we were questioning any of the items he was charging us for. He became very aggressive and rude and nasty, there in our living room. I understand that he had worked hard and was tired, but it's not unreasonable to look closely at the bill. And frankly, a couple of the line items on there were very dubious. He then turned it around and accused us of being responsible for increasing our own bill.

We paid him in full, even for the things we disagreed with, and he stormed out and drove the truck off before we could give his guys a tip. His jackassery resulted in his own guys being deprived the tips that they deserved, and that's the only part of the whole interaction that I feel bad about.

Well, it's been 5 years & I've finally gotten this off my chest. Stay away from McCarthy at all costs!
