From the first call to the final signature Kyle and his employees were the epitome of professionalism. Casey (foreman of the job) was exceptionally polite and used ma'am and sir when we dialogued. The heavy lifters, Nick, Lucas and Brian, were so sweet and happy. They too were incredibly polite and gracious. These guys didn't hit one wall or door jam, and did a special run for my great-grandmothers 100 year old glass bookshelf. THIS IS THE ONLY MOVING COMPANY TO USE FOLKS! They made moving actually enjoyable! Thanks Kyle, Casey, Brian, Lucas and Nick. Go Bear Cubs! read less

They show up on time, have great communication, take incredible care of your items, work efficiently, and really go out of their way to accommodate you. This was move #28 in my life (north, south, east, and west in and out of the U.S.) so I can 100% vouch for them being one of the best moving companies in the U.S. Call them now and don't forget to tip well! read less

Thank you to Kyle for truly caring about your customers and staying attentive with ongoing communication. Kyle has a refreshing old-school work ethic that is rare to find, and with this, Kyle is genuine, honest, and insightful. A huge thank you to the stellar crew today - Casey, Cameron, and Lucas - you were hard working, considerate, and conscientious about doing a top notch job. I will definitely hire Fresh Start Movers again and spread the word to family, friends, and business partners. The crew also made careful considerations regarding Covid safety measures which is always appreciated. Thank you for the flawless move Fresh Start Movers! read less

We hired Kyle and his team to do both our packing and moving from a house in Mill Valley to a house in Guerneville. They came to our place before the move and gave us a detailed cost estimate and they delivered on that estimate. On our pack and move day, they sent a team of hard working, respectful movers. This team took great care with all of our things both during the packing and moving. They worked efficiently and overcame many challenges such as the narrow winding road we lived on and some large, heavy pieces of furniture that were difficult to get into our new place. They were all very polite and pleasant. This is a local, family owned business you can trust. The team have known each other for many years and have excellent communication and synergy. This is an ethical company and the owner has integrity. This company goes above and beyond and you will be happy you hired them for your move! read less

We just had 2 pieces to move - a bookcase and a sofa from the apartment garage up to our apartment on the third floor. They were pleasant, efficient, and very competent the whole way through! From the first phone call to the move itself. On time, called in advance as he let me know he would do. My small dog usually barks at people but she actually liked fresh start movers lol. They even helped rearrange the pieces once they were in the apartment so we could make the right arrangement. It really was such a positive experience. My mom was here to help pick the layout and she loved them as well. Kyle the owner joked that he had some extra fresh start movers shirts and he'd hire my mom as the "mom" to help pick layouts for furniture lol. "Can you start Monday?" It was very positive. We liked that they wore fresh start movers shirts as well. They looked professional which matched their professional demeanor. I'm also grateful that they say no job is too big or too small. Our job was small but they had a one hour minimum (which apparently was hard to find! Most companies I could find had a 2-4 hour minimum and only took big jobs). Kyle and his staff Cameron didn't treat us like they were in a hurry to be done with our small job. They treated our job with care and courtesy and weren't satisfied until we were satisfied. They were very present and made it clear our move for this hour was the most important thing to them. It was a delight! Thank you fresh start movers! One more thing- this is a new apartment complex for us and my mom was having a hard time finding it. I had a hard time knowing where my mom was or how to help her but Kyle knew exactly where she was and understood how she could be confused. He said they had experienced this difficulty on their way here before finding the apartment complex. Kyle was able to explain in a clear, respectful, and helpful way to her and my mom (thanks to his direction) was able to find us! We were on the balcony and all called to her "Mom!!" until she saw us lol. It was fun. Anyways. They are very kind and hardworking and took great care of each furniture piece as well as making sure we were satisfied. I fully recommend them and am happy to know about them for any and all future moving needs!! I hope you choose them for your moving needs too! You won't be disappointed! read less

Having many years of professional moving experience myself, we were floored when the crew discovered my Dad's lost gold ring in one of his chairs... and presented it to us!! There was no gratuity I could give that would equal the piece of family history we got back! And, by the way this was one of the 100 degree+ days in September, 2020!This year has sucked for a lot of families. Just letting you all at Fresh Start know that you brought light to a very difficult time in our lives. Thank you.-The Baker Family read less

They all showed up in masks and were incredibly respectful, quick and efficient. It ended up being a difficult move with narrow hallways, a steeply slanted driveway and lots of large, heavy furniture pieces, yet they handled it like the pros they are. When we arrived at our new home, they carried many of those heavy articles upstairs to the 2nd floor. Whew. Thanks so much to the entire crew and the owner... we were lucky to find you and even get the move date we really needed! Everything worked out smoothly.

From the very beginning I appreciated his transparency with the free estimate. On moving day the crew was on time and motivated to get the job done. They took extreme care with our belongings and everything arrived at our new home the way it was when packed. Upon arrival to our new home the crew was careful not to ding our brand new walls which was greatly appreciated. They communicated with one another and are a true team of hardworking young men. I’d recommend this local, fairly priced, small business to anyone looking to move. read less

My three roommates and I booked them to move just our furniture out of our third story apartment! Was really nice to have someone do the heavy lifting. Communication was the only difficult part. They are on the expensive side of movers, so it is definitely a lot of money for four young adults to afford. But really great people and super friendly and professional! read less

From start to finish they treated my stuff with the utmost care, and neither my stuff nor the units I was moving into/out of sustained any damage. This was the first time I had worked with professional movers - I usually do it myself or with friends - and have to say, I'll never go back. The courtesy, professionalism and competitive pricing are unbeatable. Though I hope I don't have to move again a while, I would absolutely be thrilled to go with Fresh Start again for my next local move. read less

They moved me with ease on a rainy day in the middle of a pandemic. They were so careful with my belongings. They dismantled some furniture and reassembled on the other end. They moved my plants, my pictures...everything. They even took a few minutes to do a quick fix to my daughter's dresser which I was worried wouldn't make the move but is now better than it was before the move. Thanks to a great team. I would recommend this company to anyone. read less

They were on time and professional with great attitudes and willing to do whatever was needed - even taking the time to make sure my bedroom rug was placed just right. I couldn't recommend them more. Sometimes the smaller business is more efficient and more caring than the "big co's" this was really true in this case. I will use Fresh Start Movers in the future and I would encourage anyone with an upcoming move to hire them. You won't be disappointed or stressed.Lisa read less

I trusted him completely. All of the guys that help pack and move were friendly, and worked the entire time. My things were packed securely a few days before the move. That helped on the day of the move to get the job done. Everything was in great condition - nothing broke during the move. The guys put things where I asked them to. Kyle even came by after the move to take away the cardboard boxes. Great service! They helped make my move into my new home a less stressful experience. Its so much work to move and these guys really helped. Kyle gives the white glove treatment all the way through the process of moving! read less

From the great communication letting us know when they were on their way, to the shrink wrap on everything, to the care of our stuff. They were very careful to not hit the walls on the way out.
The price was very reasonable for all the work they did moving us out of a 3 story house.

He was able to accommodate our schedule. Kyle and Nick showed up on time, were courteous and friendly, worked quickly, carefully, and efficiently. They were able to move us without a single misstep, well under the time I had thought it would take.

But what really set Kyle and Nick apart was that they genuinely seemed to be enjoying themselves. They took obvious pride in their work and in acting as a team as they solved a puzzle. It wasn't surprising to learn that they had known each other since grade school and that all of the folks working with and for Kyle were old acquaintances.

I can't recommend Fresh Start highly enough. Moving your worldly goods will be one less thing to worry about and you are going to get more than your money's worth. You are going to support hard-working locals on their way up. And you are going to encounter professionals at work who actually smile. read less

They did an outstanding job - they were friendly and courteous and they worked quickly. Everything arrived at my new destination in great shape and well delivered.
