Worked out from 49 ratings. That is enough to publish but few enough that one more review moves it noticeably, so read it as a hint rather than a measurement.

In their own words
BE VERY AWARE: Mid Cal Moving & Storage stole many, many belongings from my parents move from Modesto to Fresno. My parents are in their 90’s and they took advantage of them due to their age. Dad had his custom German HO Maerklin Train Build that he designed with bridges, train station, houses, cars, village stores, street lamps and people. Jerry took apart all the controllers, which were never seen again. This set is worth between $35,000 -$40,000, which is now unusable.
This email concerns a customer, Mr. Koenig, whom we moved in October 2024. Following the move, our team made several trips to his residence to assemble an armoire and replace a broken piece of glass. During these visits, which spanned several weeks, Mr.
Bid was for 4 guys for 5 hours. Only 3 guys showed up, it took longer than 5 hours with only 3 guys. They charged an additional $300! On top of that, they broke 3 sprinkler heads at our new house, a foot off of one of the beds and didn’t place boxes where they were labeled to be placed.

In their own words
The Mid-Cal team consisting of Jerry, Joe, Alan and Romero showed up early ready to work. Jerry and his team were able to promptly load 4 large storage units into 32’ of cargo trailer in under 6 hrs without incident.They were efficient, professional and clean. All of our belongs were treated as if they were their own. They also wrapped and rewrapped many items along the way. I can honestly say that it was money well spent. I will recommend them to other Families that are fleeing the state of California.
Thank you Israel. We appreciate the nice review. The guys do work hard and care about their work, so it is nice to see when someone takes the time to leave a review.
Jerry's crew (Jerry, Ryan, Aaron, Joe, &Jordan) worked well together, and really demonstrated their years of working together with their efficiency, excellent communication, timeliness, professionalism, and excellent customer service. To date this is the best moving experience we have had in 17 moves!
I have used so many different movers in the Modesto area the last several years. They we all rated between 4 to 5 stars! What a joke, they must have written their own reviews! You think you are saving money! But trust me you are not! They walk like snails & don’t know how to pack at all! So I finally decided to go with a bigger company thinking I would have to spend more money but willing to as I was so tired of dealing with these Mickey Mouse companies. I contacted Bekins Mid Cal moving.
Thank you for your review Leona. Victor and Steve take pride in their work, and I appreciate you acknowledging them. David
The crew by far was the best of any moving company I have ever used. Tag was the quickest by far of the movers I got pricing from. He accommodated short notice delay due to escrow problem. The field team was superb, efficient, and strong! They impressed me which is something for a guy who spent 49 years in the construction industry. Without hesitation I would recommend these guys. I had a separate moving crew moving equipment and tools out of the same building simultaneously.
Thanks John. We appreciate your business.
