The Cost of Moving Services in El Cerrito, CA

Beyond factors like home size, heavy items, and stairs, the biggest cost difference comes down to your moving service type.

In El Cerrito, you can choose a full-service move, where your moving team handles everything after you pack, or a labor-only move, where your movers simply load and/or unload your truck or container—offering big savings in exchange for more work on your part.

My wife & I were very impressed with the speed, care and thoughtfulness of our movers. We were stressed about our 16ft POD container fitting everything in our 4 bedroom home, but the guys were able to make it work! They safely wrapped and packed it all and asked us questions when required. Would definitely recommend them!

Super fast! The team was on time, they moved our 2 bedroom furniture 30 mins away in exactly 3 hours, absolutely perfect timing! Super fast, very careful with important items, and also packed loose items we weren’t able to get in boxes. This is our second move with Alfa, they were consistently great both times. Highly recommend the team for moving needs!

Austin and Bob arrived on time. They were professional and knew exactly what they were doing with packing and protecting our furniture and fragile items. They assessed all the items to be pack in the 16ft POD and proceeded to do an amazing job. They exceeded our expectations; we would not be able to do what they did with packing our items as well as they in the POD. Thank you to Bob and Austin !

Douglas and his team arrived a few minutes early and went right to work. They worked hard and did a great job of filling our rental truck. We were amazed at how efficient their packing of the truck was. They were polite and extremely careful with our belongings. We would definitely choose them in the future.

Great communication and the team worked super hard and finished early! Overall, it was a good experience. The team had a bit less experience with packing, e.g. using dish packs, glass packs, bubble wrap sheets, etc. than I'd expected and a few walls/pieces of furniture got dinged in the process but they were accommodating and responsive... overall, I'd definitely hire them again.

Professional!!! Not only were they early (they called and asked if it was OK), but they were focused on the task. Courteous , kind, careful and thorough. I wish I could hire them for the other end of my move. We have moved dozens of times and the two gentlemen we had today were among the best ever. Really appreciate their speed and efficiency. 10/10 recommend
