Local Movers

Here are four key questions to help you determine who the best local mover is for you in the Napa Valley:

• Are they a locally-owned, family-owned moving company or a franchise that is part of a nationwide chain?
• Are they fully licensed with a Cal MTR license number displayed on their website?
• Are they able to provide all the services you need?
• Do they have awards and accreditations from reputable authorities in the moving industry?
• Are they community-minded?

Your move is unique, which means you need to do research to find the moving company that meets those unique needs. This list of questions helps you narrow down the field so that you only have to consider local movers that you can trust and can consider the best.

Prices among local movers can vary significantly. Factors such as distance, amount and type of items, and additional services like packing can impact the cost. Therefore, it’s critical to get an accurate estimate from a mover through a complete survey of your home either in-person or virtually.

At Turner Moving & Storage, we believe in transparency and precision. That’s why we offer both in-home and virtual surveys, allowing us to provide accurate estimates based on a thorough assessment of your items. We never provide estimates blindly over the phone, ensuring there are no surprises on your bill.

The timeline for your move will depend on various factors such as distance, the volume of goods, and your individual needs. At Turner Moving & Storage, we pride ourselves on efficiency and commitment, striving to meet your desired schedule while ensuring the safe transport of your belongings. Speak with one of our move managers today, and we’ll work with you on how quickly we can handle your move. Providing as much advance notice as possible will be appreciated by all moving companies.

This is a critical question because many companies are not, as they don’t meet the U.S. and California Standards and they don’t want to pay for licenses. Be sure to ask!

Turner Moving & Storage is fully licensed and insured. We hold Interstate USDOT license number 70719, Intrastate USDOT license number 1919262, and MTR license number 0190536. For insurance, we hold General Liability and Workers Comp.

While individual reviews should be taken with a grain of salt, the overall reviews of a moving company can give great insight into how they treat their customers. We suggest looking at their total number of Google Reviews, how recent their reviews are, if they respond to negative reviews, as well as their overall score.

Turner Moving & Storage has consistently received stellar reviews and ratings from our valued clients. Recognitions like being named the #1 Movers in Napa by Great Guys Moving and receiving the Spire Quality Award from 2018-2022 testify to our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. That service has led to the positive reviews that we have received online. View all of our Google Reviews here.

Be sure to ask about protection for your possessions. All companies must meet the U.S. minimum guaranteed reimbursement of 60 cents per pound. It’s generally not enough, so ask about Valuation Protection and for their list of High-Value Items that guarantees high claim value.

With Turner Moving & Storage, you’re guaranteed a hassle-free move with no hidden fees. Our local moving pricing is transparent, meaning the price we estimate is the price you pay with no surprises.

We take the utmost care in handling your items. However, as noted above, in the unlikely event of damage or loss, most movers offer moving valuation options: Limited Liability Coverage and Full Value Protection Coverage. Limited Liability provides minimal coverage at no extra cost, while Full Value Protection covers the replacement value of lost or damaged items. As a ProMover, we offer all coverages at Turner Moving & Storage.

It will depend on how busy a moving company is, how many trucks and vans they have, and how many drivers and crew. Ask this question up front. No sense wasting your time if they can’t meet your timetable.

At Turner Moving & Storage, we understand the unique needs of each client. We are flexible and will work around your schedule to ensure a seamless, stress-free move. Some points during the year are busier than others, so certain times can fill up faster. Make sure you don’t miss out on the time you want by scheduling right away.
