Cherish Alexis

Hands down the best moving company we’ve ever used (we’ve used many.) We hired them for two separate moves within one month, and both experiences were seamless. Their team was communicative, detail-oriented, and incredibly professional. Everything felt effortless on our end. I didn’t have to think or worry at all. They even helped us out by providing boxes at no cost in the beginning, which speaks volumes about how much they care. If you’re deciding between movers, choose this one. You won’t regret it.

As a professional real estate agent working 12+ years in the business one of the most difficult companies to stand behind are moving companies. There is always some sort of challenge with them, whether is pricing, smoothness, customer service experience… it’s always been hard to find a company to support and refer to my clients. I personally used McCarthy on 3 moves in under 2 months and i must say, it is refreshing to have met them. From the communication, to the promptness, transparency and pricing, it was an overall amazing experience. I will be referring my clients and continuing to do business with them. Thanks!

Dianne Heimer

Johnny’s crew (Eddie and Jerry) made our move from San Diego to Sacramento easy. Always professional and respectful, they worked hard all day to unload our belongings in our new house. We were impressed with the care they took in coordinating how they lifted and placed our possessions, like a precision drill team. Not one broken item! As the leader, Johnny communicated excellently with us throughout the day. Furniture and boxes were placed precisely where we indicated. The entire crew remained pleasant after hours of back-breaking work. We can’t praise them enough. They are quality movers and good people. We were more than blessed to have them move the contents of our home.

Tim Burke

McCarthy Movers helped our business during a major building renovation, and they were outstanding from start to finish. Their team efficiently moved our goods offsite, stored everything safely for the duration of the project, and returned it all exactly when we needed it. Professional, reliable, and easy to work with — highly recommended for any business needing dependable moving and storage support.

I had the privilege of meeting Thomas McCarthy at his warehouse today and was extremely impressed with his operation. Unlike many other moving companies, McCarthy Transfer and Storage is a 4th Generation, family owned San Diego company. With more than15 trucks and 20,000+ square feet of storage, McCarthy has the ability to pack, store and move across the city OR across the world! Brenda was so friendly and professional on the phone and Doug will make sure your move goes smoothly. When it comes to your moving needs, McCarthy Transfer and Storage will solve it all!
