Lulu’s Moving Services is a genuinely family-owned and organically-grown company serving customers in the East Bay Area cities of Oakland and Emeryville, and we are here to make the process of changing addresses as smooth and simple for you as possible. We know that a successful job is not just about successfully moving your king size mattress in a 1920s elevator or down a fifth floor fire stair; it also relies on positive relationships within the crew, and with you, our customer. We’re a full-service local and long-distance moving company in Oakland and Emeryville and we offer house moves, office moves, senior moves, in-home moves, packing service, local and long distance moves, and junk removal by Junk Zappers.
We’re owners Dennis Jenkins and Emily Thurston, and we started our business in 2005 doing auction house deliveries and student moves. We got busy fast through word-of-mouth and good reviews, with no damages. As a vehicle and equipment enthusiast, Dennis reinvested every spare dollar into improving our fleet. By 2015 we had 18 movers and 6-8 trucks going out every day, delivering superlative and genuine service to over 150 customers a month, while providing solid wages and a respectful workplace to our employees. Our 20’ and 26’ box vans are clean, well-maintained, low-emitting, maneuverable trucks with liftgates. Every truck comes with dozens of thick, high-quality moving blankets; a full toolbox for furniture assembly; plenty of wardrobe boxes and shrink wrap to keep your items safe; straps to secure the load; and lots more.
We understand that moving can be a stressful experience. Our movers treat you with courtesy while managing the physical logistics carefully and efficiently so that you can relax. We know that our clients depend on us to keep their furniture and other items safe and undamaged, as well as walls, floors, and pathways on both ends of the move, all while keeping an eye on the clock to avoid overcharging you.
Our repeat clients in Oakland and Emeryville include property managers; city and county agencies; police departments and personnel; local, state, and national politicians; rock stars; movie makers; professional athletes; stagers; organizers; as lots of homeowners, renters, and business owners who appreciate our worth and honesty.
All of our movers are thoroughly vetted and trained. We value the vigor that often comes from our newest crew members, and we value the skill, experience, and loyalty we’ve developed with our more-seasoned movers, some of whom have been with us for 10 to 20 years.
We’re straightforward and down-to-earth, with transparent pricing and quick response times. We charge less than other licensed moving companies in Oakland and Emeryville, and we pay our workers more. While we work hard to be a successful business, we wouldn’t feel good about ourselves if we didn’t know that we provide a solid and valuable service to the people we relocate, and a good living wage for the people we employ, who work so diligently for us and for you. Contact us to book your move today. We look forward to serving you!
