A crew that shows up

Most moving complaints come down to two things. The crew was not who you were promised, or the price was not what you agreed. Both are fixable, and both are things we decided early on to get right.

  • Full-time employees, not day labour

    The same trained crew from load to unload. No subcontractors we've never worked with.

  • Licensed, insured, and easy to verify

    Cal-T / MTR 0192323, on file with the California Bureau of Household Goods and Services. Look it up before you book, ours or anyone else's.

  • Support before and after the move

    A planning call beforehand, and someone to call afterwards if something needs sorting out.

  • Locally owned and operated in the Bay Area

    A family business that lives here - not a national broker handing your job to whoever bids lowest.

How it works

Five stops from first call to fully settled

Every Impel move follows the same route, so you always know what’s next - from your first conversation with us to the last box unpacked in your new place.

  1. Consultation & planning

    A free consultation to prep you for the move - we cover parking logistics, insurance, and give you transparent, upfront pricing.

    Before booking
  2. Scheduling & coordination

    We lock in your date and assign one move coordinator as your single point of contact, plus pre-move support along the way.

    1–2 weeks out
  3. Packing & loading

    Our crew arrives on time, packs with care, protects furniture with padding and wrap, and loads the truck efficiently.

    Move day, AM
  4. Transport & unloading

    We drive your belongings safely to your new place, then unload, unwrap, and set up beds so it feels like home fast.

    Move day, PM
  5. Post-move support

    We follow up to confirm everything went smoothly and are on hand for any questions after you’ve settled in.

What Bay Area customers say

Recent reviews from Google, linked to the original posts.

Maxim and Alex were great. They loaded our 16' moving container incredibly fast, handled boxes along with all sorts of funny sized furniture items and secured it all carefully at the end. Best money we've ever spent in terms of time it saved us!!

Maxim, Alex, and Dima were our movers and they were FANTASTIC. They showed up right on time, handled every curveball that can come with Bay Area moves, communicated clearly about their plans and progress, and brought the most delightful demeanor. Our sales rep, Dave, was also extremely helpful and communicative before the move. The entire experience was easy and not stressful, despite how stressful moving can be. I highly recommend this company!

Maxim, Alex, and Tony were really wonderful to work with, this is the only time I've ever hired a moving company for a move a second time because they were excellent previously as well. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a fair price for very good work!

Moving questions

Before you book, ask us anything.

The questions Bay Area clients ask most, answered straight. For anything else, a coordinator is one call away.

Browse the full moving FAQ
How far in advance should I book my Bay Area move?

Two to four weeks is ideal, especially for end-of-month and weekend dates, which fill first. That said, we move clients on much shorter notice all the time - call 510-571-2080 and we will tell you honestly what is open.

How is the cost of my move calculated?

Every quote is built from the details of your move: the size of your home, the inventory, access at both addresses, the distance between them, and any services you add such as packing. You receive a detailed written quote before you book, so the scope and pricing are agreed in advance.

Do you handle apartments with stairs, elevators, or tight access?

Yes - walk-ups, elevator buildings, narrow Victorians, and hillside homes are everyday work for our crews across San Francisco and the Bay Area. Tell us about stairs, elevator reservations, and parking when you request your quote so we plan the right crew and equipment.

How long does a typical local move take?

Most local moves finish the same day. The exact timing depends on the size of your home, how much is being moved, access at each address, and the drive between them. Your written quote includes a time estimate based on those details.

Will the crew disassemble and reassemble my furniture?

Yes. Standard furniture - beds, tables, desks, and shelving - is disassembled, wrapped, and reassembled in your new home as part of the move. Specialty items are noted in your quote so the crew arrives prepared.

What should I do before the crew arrives?

Finish packing and seal your boxes, set aside the items you are keeping with you (documents, medication, chargers), clear hallways, and reserve parking or the elevator if your building requires it. Your coordinator confirms everything the day before.
