A1 All-American

I used Mark to move my daughter across the street. We made about 20 trips to get it all done. Mark was extremely helpful. I couldn’t find anyone to quote the job. Most movers had a 3 or 4 hour minimum. The price, service, and communication was great. Thank you again.

I’ve used this company for two moves. Both moves were handled beautifully by Mark and his crew. The most recent move was a funny one — I just needed a bunch of big, heavy stuff moved upstairs to my new apartment on a top floor of my building. The movers didn’t need a truck. They were on time, polite and got the job done quickly. I highly recommend A-​1 All American, and I will use them again for my next move.

Getting ready to move my 4500′ house form Diablo to Alamo, was going to use this service and found out this company doesn’t have something called a puc permit, so after contacting the puc (public utlity commission) it seems that this is an unlicenced company. After some more investigation I found out no licence, no workmans comp, no insurance and .If some one gets hurt on my move, I could be liable. Sorry guys I’m gonna pay a little more and stick with a licenced moving company.

Mark apparently didn’t want our business, but didn’t bother to tell us so. I gave him the benefit of the doubt the first time he didn’t call back. He did call back after a second message, and asked for detailed information such as our address and what kind of stuff we have. I told him and followed up with an email as he requested. He wrote back with one question, to which I replied, after which we never heard back from him again. He was supposed to get back to me on setting up a time to come out and provide a quote, but he didn’t.
This was a waste of my time, and I didn’t appreciate having to provide personal information only to be ignored. I won’t bother calling him again, nor will I recommend him to anyone. It’s too bad he didn’t just tell me outright that he wasn’t interested.

Mark and his team are one of, if not the best around this area and he’ll pick up the moving truck, when needed, and will bring many of his own moving pads to help. We highly recommend Mark and A1 All-​American movers.

We hired Mark again to load up some storage cubes for a cross-​country move. He gave us a great rate, and helped us out with some extra blankets and rope for the move. He worked hard to ensure the safety of our TVs (which didn’t have the manufacturer’s box) and things look to be in good shape for the move.
Thanks again, Mark!

Hi, After 4 days of patiently waiting for a call back from this company. We never got one. So, not sure what is going on but if you like a fast response this one is not for you.

Mark has moved my daughter’s houseful of furniture and everything I had stored in her garage twice since my original review and again, everything went off without a hitch and was very fairly priced.

Highly recommend these guys. Very professional. Very honest. They did a GREAT job. Very upfront about the costs. And, very reasonably priced. There was one small ding on a piece of furniture, but we were more than compensated for it. And, I could barely notice it. We also had some heavy items, including a piano. And, stairs. No problem. Great job! Would definitely use them again.

Mark and his team moved us today. In short they were quick, clean and professional. Their fee was very reasonable. Would recommend anyone who is planning a move to use them. Great job!

I am so impressed with Mark and when I first initiated the call, Mark immediately called me back unlike the other moving company I called, they never returned my call or email.
Mark came by to see to assess how long it would take to move us, but the key furniture that needed much care was the wine credenza. It weights 600 lbs. without the wine. Mark and his crew took such great care by wrapping the credenza with moving blankets. Not a scratch. The move was such a breeze and would definitely hire Mark again.
Thanks Mark and crew!!!

Mark and the crew arrived on time, were careful to pad anything that could be damaged, friendly, and reasonably priced. We had 2 bedrooms moved 20 miles within just a couple of hours. I couldn’t ask for much more!

Mark and his crew did a wonderful job for my move yesterday. They were all super-​friendly as well as quick and hard-​working. Mark made sure everything was nicely wrapped as well as tied down in the truck to ensure that nothing moved during the 6.6 miles to my new home. He also made sure that when they were going up my windy staircase, that the banisters and carpets were adequately protected. Plus, he doesn’t charge extra for blankets, straps, etc… And, he’s a great deal. I highly recommend him!

We used A-​1 All-​American to move in January 2009. When planning the move, we called several moving companies. Mark called back within 1 hour and enthusiastically explained their process, price, and willingness to help us. Some of the other moving companys took several days to call back, and their fees weren’t as straightforward.
Our crew included a Hispanic American, an Asian American, and a European American. I only mention this because an earlier review says they’re all white– not true. Anyway, they all worked hard and took responsibility for their work, including all the details.
I would definitely recommend A1 All-​American. They took pride in doing the job right. The owner works and supervises the entire process, which provides better accountability when compared to moving companies that sub-​contract their work. Last but not least, they arrived on-​time, prepared with blankets, and finished the job on-​budget.

Mark came and gave us an estimate. He came in exactly at his estimate and even offered to buy covers for our furniture for us. We did a short move but Mark and the other guy did it in a very short period of time.
Mark does like to chat a bit but he seems to have done quite a bit with his life and is generally very good natured. We finished our move to storage in a few hours and Mark was also kind enough to help us drop a TV (super heavy) off at another location.
If you use him, be sure to buy his crew lunch. He came in at half of some of our other estimates, but he doesn’t have insurance so you want to make sure you pack things well– just in case. We didn’t have any problems at all. He brought plenty of moving blankets. No damaged items and Mark is a magician at packing the truck to carry the max on each load which also saves you time and money. He was also accommodated our paranoid requests about how to handle certain fragile items/​etc. without any complaints– totally nice guy.
Highly recommend.

Moving sucks, but it doesn’t have to be if these guys are here to help!
Big olé’ five stars for super great service and movers here. It was a short move, but nothing but the best care of even a huge oversized bookcase that they took apart and put back together in the new place.
Thank you M & V!

You can’t go wrong moving with Mark and A1 All American Moving!
We hired them to pack us up and move us across town. Mark came out to give us a written estimate. I called another highly rated moving company on Unilocal and they wouldn’t do more than give me an estimate by phone! To top it off, the «other» firm told me that their phone quote might vary by 30%!!!
A1’s packers took better care of packing our items than we did! Three guys packed up our entire 3 bedroom house in less than 8 hours — and we have a lot of crap! And the amazing thing — nothing — I mean NOTHING arrived to our new home damaged!
On moving day, Mark and his crew showed up right on time and ready to go. Our move took a little longer than I expected (quoted 8 – 9 hours and it took 10) but I’m sure that had to do with the 100 degree plus weather on moving day! They worked their bu**s off!!!
In a nutshell these guys ROCK! They are very professional, hard working and very well priced! It was a pleasure to do business with them and we highly recommend them!
