Shamrock Moving and Storage was founded in 1975 by Bob & Barbara Fallon in San Francisco, CA. After learning his trade at another local mover, along with his wife Barbara, Bob started Shamrock with one truck and a mission: "Take care of the customer and the customer will take care of you." He and his family have followed this creed since the company's inception, with great success.
We started with one employee, Bob himself, and one truck. They operated out of a small office in the basement of their house, where Barbara worked while simultaneously taking care of their four children. Bob went out did the moves with 1 helper. We now operate almost 30 vehicles with about 45 employees across 3 locations, and move over 3,000 people a year.

Got recommendations from my HOA for them and decided to give it a try. They impressed me over the phone so even though they were the most expensive out of all, I decided to go with shamrock. And they didn't disappoint.
Starting with Jose who came to do the estimate, he took maybe 10 minutes only but his assessment was so thorough and accurate!!! He was very helpful in giving me tips what to prioritize in packing and what not. Prior to the day, Kim made sure I knew what I needed to do and patiently answered all my questions.
On the move say, Victor, Alberto, Rigo and Jose showed up. They

This review is a month overdue, but I made sure to do it because everything about Shamrock - from the initial communication through completion of the move - was wonderful. I communicated with Helen early on and I felt comfortable and confident about our decision to go with Shamrock. There are a lot of meh, or even fraudulent moving companies out there, so feeling like I could trust them was important. And the team showed up RIGHT ON TIME. Also, once the team arrived (Victor, Alberto, Jose), they noted that we had more stuff than they were expecting, but they moved so quickly and so carefully -

Spoiler alert: We didn't end up hiring them. Here's why:
Quotes took a while...the receptionist schedules a quote option of virtual or in person during COVID19) with their estimators which was a little under a week from when we first called. She gave us the option of FaceTime or Zoom for the virtual. We chose Zoom so we could use a non-apple phone.
The estimator called and didn't know how to initiate a zoom meeting and asked me to walk her through how to do it even though I had no idea how she's set up or her company's account. I ended up sending her a link to google

Shamrock Moving has been our go-to mover for over 10 years for short and long distance moving. They always do a great job and we have never had any item damaged and never had any other disappointment with their work. Their office staff and primarily Caitriona who I've had many interactions with, is extremely personable and professional. Our last moves had them making several moves to Lake Tahoe. Francisco and Gabriel were always friendly, very hard working, honest, experienced and smart. Due to the shelter in place and Covid-19, Francisco and Gabriel wore masks and were very cognizant of maintaining

Our move went quite smoothly and efficiently. Considering how emotional a move can be, the Shamrock crew put my mind at ease that all my worldly possessions would arrive safe and sound. The moving crew led by Victor was warm, friendly and really strong! I was amazed at how quickly they packed everything and carried it down two flights of stairs.
The rest of the staff including Bobby Fallon, the general manager and Lisa were knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend Shamrock without hesitation!

We just used shamrock for the second time to move our stuff within San Mateo. Their phone and email responses were always really quick and clear about their policies and pricing and Jose, their estimator was punctual and polite. Moving day they were perfectly on time, and hustled through our move while still being careful in spite of moving in a massive heat wave. We paid a little less than we had estimated and were super happy!

These guys are top notch. I had them pack and move everything. They came promptly and I felt as if they took care of any fragile items as if they were their own. They also took great care when moving our piano.
Victor and his crew did a great job unpacking for us and getting all of our furniture exactly where we wanted it to be placed (including a few reconfigurations at our request since we couldn't make up our mind).

The good bad and ugly moving experience with Shamrock has me questioning why there are so many great reviews for this company. This is my 4th move in the bay area in the past 7 years - unfortunately I'm getting to be a pro at this and also therefore have a frame of reference as to what to expect.
Hired Shamrock for an apartment move. Full packing service, full insurance, etc. Items being moved are of nice quality. The individual who came out to do the assessment told me they had picked up from my building before and they knew what size truck to send for the loading dock.
Estimate was reasonable

I've used Shamrock 4 times now! I hope to never need them because I just don't want to move again...but if I do, I will use them again. I've used office moving and residential packing, moving, & storage.
Friendly, easy quotes. I did one move on a fixed price where someone came to survey everything I was moving and the other moves were done on an estimate. The estimates were always right so I was charged what they estimated.
Crew was always on time or early. Very efficient and careful with things (well as careful as you would expect movers to be). They will deliver boxes
