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

We hired them and they did not disappoint. Great service and professionalism. They took care and broke down beds into pieces and reassembled them at the new place. They wrapped things up with blankets and then went over the items with wrap. 10 Stars!!! 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

Kyle was amazing. He and his crew loaded the truck for us. . They got everything into the truck. No easy feat!. And they worked with us on such short notice. All our possessions were loaded with great care and everything made the trip with no issues. If you need movers Fresh Start is the one to call. Thank you for a positive professional moving experience! 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.
I will recommend them to all of my friends who need moving help. read less

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

Kyle and crew are terrific. I highly recommend them. They were on time, efficient, polite and fast. They moved us from our rental to our rebuilt home.

Two guys arrived on time as scheduled and they were organized, efficient, hardworking and professional. By the time movers show up, most people are pretty tired and overwhelmed. James and Abe came into the job with a great attitude and it gave me confidence in them immediately.
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. I would choose them again and highly recommend this company. They are local to Sonoma County and the owner knows his guys well. Awesome job!! read less

I will continue to spread the word of this excellent experience for a very long time! Do yourself a favor, pick these guys. read less

to an 8th floor apartment in Santa Rosa. They were prompt, friendly, courteous and very efficient. We heard about them the night before my friend was to move in. When we called late Friday they said they could be there at 10:00 Saturday which was unexpected but just what we needed and a tremendous help. Much care was taken in unloading and nothing was damaged even though they had to carry a couch up 8 flights because the elevator was not big enough. This apartment was smaller than the last and they even gave us some suggestions on placement of furniture. These movers were very professional and I would highly recommend them. read less

They where enthusiastic with anything we asked. I would highly recommend them. We have used them two times. They also moved our son into a different apartment in Santa Rosa. They where cohesive as a professional team. They understood all the mechanics of moving hard pieces. We had big pieces of furniture that had to be broken down and put back together. read less

My whole experience with Kyle and his team was superlative, from start to finish. I researched several firms on-line and from the moment I made contact with Kyle I knew I had made the right choice. The initial telephone response was personal and professional and the pricing competitive. I was concerned that being a relatively small move over such a short distance that movers would not be interested. This was no issue at all for Fresh Start Movers. During the whole process, Kyle's communication and information via 'phone and email was first class. Come the day of the move they came fully equipped to do the job with the right size of vehicle and all the necessary packing and wrapping material - which a lesser company could have cut corners by doing without. Kyle was there in person and he and his colleague moved, wrapped, packed and subsequently correctly placed in the new house all the furniture and household items. Throughout the process Kyle and his colleague were friendly, professional and efficient. Everything was as Kyle said it would be and there were no hidden extras to pay when it came to settling up upon completion of the job. If you are looking for a moving company I highly recommend that you contact Kyle at Fresh Start Movers and ask for a quotation. They are:
Professional, reliable, efficient, experienced, careful, respectful, quick and very good value for money. read less

Pleasant to work with. They even took their shoes off each time they went upstairs because it's carpeted. Great guys would definitely recommend them. Thank you Kyle and James.

Door to door, it took them about 8 hours (with about 1 hour's worth of breaks that we were not charged for), and we had a ton of stuff.

These 2 guys worked their tails off, hustled hard, and were incredibly efficient with our move. Above and beyond that, they were very careful with our things, wrapping most items in blankets with shrink wrap before moving them out the door onto the truck. They placed each item in the specified room upon arrival at our new home, and broke down and rebuilt our bed frames.

These guys are really really good at what they do, and really seem to care about the client. I was incredibly impressed with their service and would hire them again in a heartbeat.

In terms of pricing, I think they're very reasonable compared to other companies in the north bay area. I will note they were one of the only companies that didn't quote us "double time" on a Sunday in June. I think we live in a world where a lot of companies are ready and willing to ding you and take advantage of your lack of knowledge in a certain industry (like moving). Fresh Start Movers is not that company. They are trustworthy, completely transparent, and really hardworking.

Highly recommended. read less

Kyle and James are PROFESSIONALS, they are reliable, responsive and two really good dudes. I called the day before I needed their service, the pick up window was between 230 and 3pm (we reserved the elevator) it was an 8 foot couch I found on Craigslist and Kyle made me feel like the request want crazy and it could fit in his schedule. They are affordable, insured, the truck is SPOTLESS. I can not say enough about Kyle and James, CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NOT LOST! I will absolutely use Fresh Start Movers AGAIN and AGAIN. I highly recommend them. read less

Everything arrived undamaged and I had no surprises with the final bill.

The owner understands that he is moving your belongings, your treasures and treats the entire process with care. We also really appreciated that they moved smart. We did not have a concern with the way they handled large, fragile, heavy or awkward items. We had a garage full of large, heavy carpentry tools which they handled safely. I would use them again in an instant. read less
