Man With a Van

Great experience! Both Travis and Geoff were professional, kind and so considerate. I had expected them only to move the things we had discussed and when Travis asked if it was my intention to empty my storage unit, he said «we’ll just move it all». I was beyond surprised and delighted. They even offered to move things or adjust them in my home after they had placed them. I can’t really say enough about how pleased I am with them and their service.
I recommend them to anyone who wants an easy, smooth and quality small move!

Travis and Geoff are just great! I had originally contacted them to bid on the work (based on their Unilocal ratings): to move a heavy leather sofa bed and love seat we had bought from a condo in Solana Beach to our house in Solana Beach, and carry out our old ones. Their bid was a little more expensive than another bid I had gotten from someone more local to us in North County, who was one of the most highly rated on Angie’s List. (Because Travis and Geoff would come up from San Diego city, they charged somewhat more for that.) Though Travis got back to me quickly and was very pleasant on the phone, I went with the somewhat cheaper North County guy — which I ended up regretting. On the morning of our move, a few hours before we were to meet the person from whom we were buying the furniture, he texted me that he was sick and could not do our move; he did NOT offer to try to schedule another date. The owner wanted the furniture out of her condo because painters were coming the next day, and we had cleared our own living room for the move. I was a little panicked and called Travis, who got right back to me and said he could fit us in at noon the next day. I was SO relieved. Travis and Geoff arrived right on time (having called to offer to come an hour earlier because they had finished their other job), and what great guys they are! They did a very professional move, covering the furniture and carrying it carefully, which wasn’t the easiest with several small flights of narrow stairs and narrow walkways in the condo complex. (The condo owner was also impressed and asked for their card for when her new furniture arrived.) They got our furniture to our house in perfect shape, swapped it out with the old ones which they moved where we wanted, and made sure to ask if there was anything else we needed to have carried or lifted while they were there. They specialize in small to medium moves (they have a regular van, not a huge moving van), but it looks like they can get a good amount of stuff in it. I am so grateful to them for coming through to help me out when I needed it, and for being so pleasant; they are nice, nice guys, and very good at their job. I will use them again for sure, and HIGHLY recommend them to everyone!

my first time using a moving company.
They are awesome. They even came earlier than the scheduled time.
They are very fast, careful, and very nice.
My 1 bed room move was done in 2 hours!
They made my moving very easy. Def Cheaper than the other moving company.
I will use them again for my next move and I will refer them to all my friends!

Travis and Geoff are the best! They went above and beyond to help me coordinate a move between San Diego and two different places in LA.
They’re super fast, super careful with everything, and can carry pretty much anything up a flight of stairs. They made what could have been a complicated move quick and easy. I highly recommend them, and if I have to move again, they’ll be my first call.

I used Travis to pack my storage unit while moving to NorCal. He was fantastic; he was honest and took good care of my things. When I was unpacking them while in NorCal, I was just astonished about how well things were protected and packed safely. If I ever get to move back to SoCal, he’d be the first person I call.

Awesome to work with. Got them scheduled, they arrived on time, go it done, extremely careful with moving the equipment., just so easy to work with. I will be definitely be using them for any future needs.

These guys are great! They were honest, hard working and conscientious. I will absolutely use them again!
I had to work so my mom met them to give them access to my new home and storage. Not only did they work hard the entire day without my supervision, they doted on her, bought her lunch, picked up felt pads for under my furniture (I forgot them) and offered to come back to help me move boxes around because they knew I had hurt my back recently.
Not only will I use them again, I will refer everyone I know to them. Thanks Travis and Jess! You guys make movers look good.

I’ve used Travis and Geoff’s pick up and delivery service two times in the past month, and both trips involved heavy items that required careful loading and unloading. It’s rare to encounter such superior attention to detail and excellent, timely communication and service… especially at such reasonable rates. Highly recommended!

A simple 1 bedroom move fell behind schedule when we had a death in the family. We needed to move regardless. Travis and Geoff were very understanding. They helped give advice and we never felt pressured to finish early. We ended up filling a truck and van up.
These guys moved quickly and carefully. My wife told them that they were the nicest movers ever and she can get picky. Nothing was half done. Everything was just done right.
Last note: I filled my car with extra stuff I didn’t want boxed up. While carrying it into the house. Geoff asked me if I needed helping unloading my car… twice!

I’m not surprised by all of the five star reviews. Travis and Jeff provided prompt, professional and conscientious service at a reasonable price. I highly recommend!

Travis and Geoff were great for my move this past Saturday, They were on time and worked hard to break down and move my furniture. They also had great attitudes the entire move. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone needing a reliable and affordable moving service.

Great movers, helped me move same day! Clean, intelligent, friendly. I definitely recommend.

Contracted Travis again yesterday. He and Geoff came right on time. I appreciate when people have respect for your time and shows up in the dot (think he was early too) .
As always the guys went straight to work, they were professional and super fast.
Its always a pleasure working with them, they really put me at ease knowing that they are taking good care of my stuff as they do their own.
As I mentioned before. Their prices are unbeatable!!! I wish there were more honest business people like Travis and Geoff.
Thanks again for the excellent service!!!

I can’t say enough about Travis and «Man with A Van». Actually there were TWO men who arrived, ON TIME and ready to provide EXCELLENT SERVICE. I’d hired another moving company back east on the front end of my move that was more expensive, much less efficient and professional. WITHOUT QUESTION, Travis was in an entirely different, far superior class of moving company. The name of the company and his general demeanor may be humble, but he delivers (literally)! I can’t say enough about him. In these times when the only time people want to share news about a business is to complain, I am THRILLED to write something positive, accurate and deserving. I would love it if this review contributes in some small way to Travis getting more business!
As far as how the moving experience went, specifically… it was as pleasant as moving can be. He and his helper were both pleasant throughout. They were careful and considerate of my furniture, asked thoughtful questions about placement when they could have easily plopped items down anywhere. They even removed items off the truck only to have to re-​load them because I had a secondary move-​in (byproduct of downsizing from a house to an apt). What I didn’t realize til later is that they took care to strap-​in the re-​loaded items inside the truck. I arrived to my 2^nd location and was amazed, pleased and appreciative at that layer of consideration from Travis. This review is my chance to say «Thanks» for that as well. At the conclusion of the (initial) move, he even offered me a lift to my truck parked elsewhere in the neighborhood. I understand the concept, «You get what you pay for» and have experienced unpleasantness by taking the lowest bid. NOT THE CASE HERE AT ALL! Travis offered a very competitive bid, yet offered Rolls Royce service! With the short time remaining, he and his helper even offered to assist me in getting items unpacked. Who does that?! OUTSTANDING SERVICE… I would (will) use them again and again as needed!

Outstanding. Travis and Josh moved a huge family roll top desk and chair from LA to San Diego for us. They had to disassemble and then reassemble it and did a wonderful, quality job. My father-​in-​law said «The guys were very quick and efficient, very careful, and VERY nice.»

I totally echo all of the positive comments that are written on this site. Travis helped me swap a couple of mattresses between a condo in San Diego and a condo in Oceanside. Very reliable, helpful service clean van and extremely reasonable price. This type of service can be hard to find and Travis is filling a niche with extraordinary service. I would recommend him to others without any hesitation at all.

I was so impressed today with Travis. He brought an antique dining room table to me in LA from San Diego exactly on the timeline he gave me. He even asked me if there was anything else in the house I needed help moving before he left. I will call him again!

I can’t say enough about Travis and his helpers. They are efficient, helpful (always offering to see what else I need done, from digging holes to hanging furniture to checking out why certain light switches don’t work), considerate, very hard-​working and so inexpensive that even with adding a tip each time I still feel he deserves more. He also has a surprisingly good aesthetic sense, often suggesting a different placement of furniture that I had never considered but that works better than the original plan. He always asks if there’s anything else I need help with, from hauling away lots of empty boxes, to checking why a lamp isn’t working, to digging a hole and hanging pictures — all done with great efficiency and kindness.
Today was a perfect example of the way he goes above and beyond. He happened to be delivering a table when my car battery was dead. He not only provided the jump for the battery, but followed me to a gas station, not just to make sure that I got there, but to make sure that I wasn’t taken advantage of, either.
I have several more projects for Travis, and am grateful that he was recommended to me.

Travis helped us out with a very last minute request and his prices can’t be beat! Will refer him to our friends and use him again for future moves/​furniture pick ups! Thanks, Travis!

Travis is great. He helped me moved from San Diego up to LA with a very affordable price. Travis not only picked up all my things from my apartment and from the storage unit without extra charge. If you don’t have many things, go with Travis.
