I cannot recommend WellKnown enough. The team arrived EARLY, packed quickly, and graciously moved all of my things into my new 5th floor walkup without a single complaint.

Local Expertise — Raleigh ⇆ San Francisco & Bay Area

Our company regularly operates on key interstate routes, allowing us to plan your trip in advance and minimize delays.

We serve not only San Francisco itself, but the entire Bay Area region. If you need a moving company from Raleigh, NC to San Francisco, CA, our team is ready to help.

Professional Movers

All moves are performed by a professional team, and each project is supervised by an experienced foreman with at least three years of experience in long-distance moving. Our movers undergo rigorous selection and training in safe loading and unloading. We use professional moving equipment to transport heavy, fragile, and valuable items. Our moving trucks are fully equipped with special equipment to protect furniture, appliances, and expensive items.

Customizable Services

Before the move, we contact you and discuss all the details: the number of items, the need for packing services, and any special storage or transportation requirements. Based on this information, we form a team and choose the best moving option. You can order furniture-only moves, additional services, or a shared move to save money.

Flat-Rate, Transparent Pricing

We work with fixed moving rates, so minor route changes do not affect the cost. The exception is very heavy or complex items — pianos, industrial refrigerators, and similar items. A deposit is required for booking, which is refundable if the move is canceled two weeks before the date.

Moving Tip

Obtaining a moving truck parking permit in San Francisco in advance will help you avoid fines and save time on moving day.

Exploring San Francisco

San Francisco is one of the most recognizable cities in the United States with a unique atmosphere. It is home to such iconic landmarks as the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz, as well as numerous parks, waterfronts, and observation decks. Active leisure enthusiasts will appreciate walks through the Presidio and Golden Gate Park, and in the evening, the city offers a wide selection of restaurants, bars, and cultural venues.

However, life in San Francisco has its challenges: heavy traffic, limited street parking, and a high cost of living. At the same time, the city benefits from its well-developed public transportation system and proximity to areas such as Daly City, Oakland, and Berkeley, which can be comfortable alternatives to the city center.

Best moving experience I've ever had Ismail and his team were absolutely incredible! They were efficient, kind, knowledgeable, and able to help problem solve with us to make our move as smooth as possible. They were communicative and timely, and we couldnt recommend Well Known Movers more highly to anyone who needs to move across the US.

We had an excellent experience with… We had an excellent experience with Slava and Yuri! They came with all the needed equipment, wrapped up our furniture expertly, and managed to swiftly carry everything downstairs and then upstairs in our new place. Very strong and friendly. They handled the furniture with care, that's huge for us. Thanks y'all!

Sasha helped us move 2 apartments into a house in less than 4 hours! He was professional and took good care of my belongings. Everything was wrapped up to ensure it wouldn’t be damaged and transported safely. I would absolutely use them again!

Fast, efficient, friendly, cost-effective movers! This is my second time hiring WellKnown Moving. Both experiences have been great. The movers are super friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make sure things are where you want them and that everything is secure in the truck. They are also very fast and efficient. The third mover called out sick and the two guys who we had moved everything practically right on estimate for 3 men. Highly recommend!

Boston To DC - Very Smooth Ismail, Aybek and their team were professional, communicative, timely and thorough throughout my move from Boston to DC. My wife and I were really impressed by the entire experience, from the quote process up to the final box being placed. Absolutely on top of things. I am glad we found them for our move and would happily work with them again.

The two men that helped me with my move were amazing- right on time, nothing broken, and reasonably priced, would recommend!

Alex and his partner did a great job! They moved me out of my North Raleigh apartment to Goldsboro right at the minimum time listed in my quote. They disassembled my bed and dining set with ease. Would 1000% recommend this company as they’re affordable and move everything quickly and safely!

Fantastic Crew!!! The moving crew firstly called and let us know they were running early and asked if they could start earlier than scheduled. Once arrived everyone was very professional and made sure to asses the items being moved and immediately got to work. Each person worked hard and efficiently the entire time. Once we moved, the crew began to unload it a quick but careful pace, ensuring that items were not damaged or that walls and such were kept free of smudges or damage. Will definitely use them again when we move in the future! The only downside is that we were never told that travel time (what I assume is to and from the job from their home base) is charged as well. Total time ended up being 1 hour more than the actual move itself.

They were great to work with, showed up on time, worked hard all day, and had a great quality of move. There was no damage and they were extremely professional. I would absolutely use them again!

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Moving to San Francisco with us ensures that your moving plan includes all the essential costs required by the movers. There's no need to worry about separate charges for the truck, tools, furniture assembly or disassembly, or even moving heavy items – it's all covered. We also offer flexibility with additional services: you can supply your own packing materials, or we can provide them. Plus, if you prefer, we can handle packing for specific items only. Visit our pricing page to learn more! 

Make a list of special items (or just memorize them) that movers need to pay attention to. First of all, these are heavy items (e.g. a piano, a bed, a big dresser). We need to know at least the approximate dimensions and weight. In the second place are fragile and valuable items, antiques, paintings, TV set, etc. This will help us to be better prepared. We also recommend that you clearly define whether you need additional services. If you are not sure yet, we will be happy to advise you. 

Moving there may be justified if career opportunities (especially in technology, startups, and creative industries) and a mild climate are important to you. However, living in San Francisco is quite expensive. Housing prices are high, taxes are high, and overall, the cost of living is quite high.

One person can get by on a salary of $110,000–$130,000 per year before taxes. A family should expect to earn $180,000–$220,000 or more. We calculated this amount based on the ability to easily pay rent, utilities, transportation, save money, and occasionally afford restaurants and entertainment.

You can lower moving costs by decluttering before you move, comparing multiple moving quotes, choosing an off-peak moving season (late fall or winter), packing yourself, and being flexible with move dates. Downsizing furniture, avoiding last-minute bookings, and confirming exactly what services you need (rather than full-service options) can also significantly reduce expenses.
