H & T Moving

10 october 2017, 17:37

Worth every dime. I'll start by saying that I've moved 4 times within Los Angeles and always moved myself w help of family. I've given in and stand behind paying professional movers from now on. Still, quality and trustworthy movers can be hard to find. H & T Moving is it. I called 5 moving companies, most quoted within the same range for 2 guys, but once Hector, the owner, mentioned a 4 man crew, his prices blew the competition away. Logistics of my move: 4 man crew at $120/hour,  24 ft truck, moved from a one bedroom apt with a building elevator in Santa Monica to a single story 4 bedroom house in Agoura Hills, took 6 hours. I believe stairs effect price, so ask! My duties as the customer - Goal was to save movers' time and therefore, save me money!1) Went to SM's transportation department next to city hall a week before my moving date. Purchased and reserved 40ft. OF TEMPORARY NO PARKING STREET SIGNS/PERMITS from my city's transportation department (you must do this especially if you live or move to a congested street w tough parking). I knew to do this bc I have moved to West Hollywood and Santa Monica in the past and know that reserving 40ft of prime parking in front of my building cuts down on mover's time and therefore saved me money on MY TOTAL COST! Sam and his crew even explained this to me after the move.2) LABEL THE ROOMS WITH A CODE IN THE NEW LOCATION. At our new house, I taped signs near each door and on wall spaces so boxes would be categorized and placed in areas that made sense. "K" for kitchen, "Rm. 1" for Room 1, etc. As we packed the week prior, I coded each box with a correlating code. Once crew arrived at our new house we did a walk through and I showed them the labels throughout the house. Before they moved a single box they already knew where to put it. May sound crazy organized, but IT SAVED TIME UNLOADING,  and therefore, SAVED US MONEY!!! Do this. Crew rarely asked where to put an item bc it was already coded. Crew said this system was super helpful and said it sped up entire unloading time.3) Had cold water bottles for them at both locations and a snack at the first location. Showed them the bathroom they could use any time at both locations before they moved anything. Energized movers will work quick and efficiently. Sluggish movers work, well, sluggishly. Packed them a bag of leftover waters for their drive over. Sam, Jose, Javier, and Steve arrived 5 minutes early. Loved it! Positive attitudes. No complaining. Guys worked extremely well together. Super professional. Attentive to boxes labeled "Fragile" or "Glass". Sam is the owner's son. First, he and Jose inspected stairwell for one couch that wouldn't fit in elevator and then inspected our apt and all pieces, asked questions, clarified what was moving all before the guys began. This five minute inspection was helpful bc we gave some direction and a heads up about a few items. Then they began loading. Wow, they packed boxes fast! Shrink wrapped almost all big expensive furniture but 3 Ikea bookcases. Shrink wrap is a fee of $35 and worth it. No need for mattress cover, they shrink wrapped it too and carried it out in a huge mattress saddle. Super impressed bc our mattress was new and cost $1400. It arrived without a speck of dirt.  99.9% of items arrived safely and in perfect condition. Extremely minor scratch on leather couch and large scratch on one ikea bookcase that wasn't shrink wrapped. Small price to pay for all the crap that would've broken had I moved myself!Bottom line, H&T Moving rocks. I already recommended them to my sister who is moving next month. Reserve a four man crew when you call. It may be more hourly, but it's less than competitors, and takes less time to move, so costs you less! Thank you, Hector, Sam, Javier, Steve, and Jose for making our move stress free!

Hector and his sons and team members are fantastic. His wife Gloria is an expert unpacker. I've moved 14 times in my adult life, and I have to say this was the best move ever. Highly recommend this company. It is truly a family business.

Hector and his team were amazing!!  They wrapped all my furniture and expertly packed it into a POD and a UHaul.  Everything arrived in Las Vegas in one piece.  I used them during a home remodel project and decided to use them for my move from Pasadena to Las Vegas.  They took care not to scratch the hardwood floors in the process.  I had some pretty big pieces that required special handling and I can't say enough about them.   Best movers ever!!!

These guys are the BEST!!!  I was referred to them by my friend and I am so thankful that I decided to use them instead of any other company.  They showed up on time, they were so professional, courteous, and their experience definitely showed.  I had so many valuables and antiques that needed special care, and they wrapped everything perfectly and protected all my things.  My move wasn't easy either, I had stairs and lots of tight spots to get through, and the owner, Hector and his crew handled all the challenges with ease, they relieved any stress I had about moving.  I've already spread the word to my friends because I know these guys will always do the greatest job and give the best service.  I definitely know who I will call the next time I need help moving!

On our most recent move a friend recommended we use H & T Moving and I have to say that was one of the best decisions I've made all year. After our last move I had had it with moving on my own and my husband and I were way too busy to give the moving process much thought. Enter Hector and his team! They were incredibly fast, on time, polite, friendly, and honest. The guys are a well-oiled machine! Such a great experience-- I can't recommend them highly enough!
