Very knowledgeable and good company to work with. Responsive, friendly and trustworthy , I highly recommend Bernd moving!

Patrick Smyth

Bernd Moving made the process of our move out of state seamless and without stress. We were impressed from the start with Curtis and his in-home consultation & quick quote. Annette in the office was also great to work with on the document side of things and for any other questions we had. Lastly, our movers Joe and Gerry were very professional and knowledgeable, and made the “day of” process very easy. Would highly recommend!

Jessica Scheüermann

They made moving easy and seamless. The crew was fantastic and helpful. They made sure everything was properly packed and moved! They were also friendly and respectful throughout the entire process. Moving can be overwhelming, but their positive attitude and professionalism made a huge difference. The pricing was very reasonable and made it a no brainer to use them for my move.I highly recommend this moving company to anyone looking for a reliable, hardworking, and trustworthy team. They truly made a stressful situation feel easy!

Curtis and his team are amazing! From the estimate to all of the changes I made in the middle, to saying goodbye. They were professional, honest, timely, and above all careful.They wrapped our furniture, packed my china, and made sure all of it got there in one piece. They padded doorways and covered floors to protect my home. I think there were 3 different handtrucks to handle what ever I asked them to move. If there was any question about where something went, they stopped to ask and placed it appropriately. They thought of all the things I didn't! Curtis, Will, Eric, Joe, and Josh took great care of us. I know there were other people of the packing end too, but I don't know their names. Thank You!!!

Michelle Mueller

I can't recommend Bernd Moving enough. They were fantastic and helped make our local move as smooth as possible. We have a very expensive and large fish tank that needed extra care when moving. Curtis took a lot of time talking with us and recording video of the tank and directions for the best way to move it when he came to give us his quote. We moved everything in the tank, but Andy, Joe, and Josh moved the tank and stand. They truly understood how important this tank is to us (tank shown in pic). Everything else in the house was handled with care and they double checked where we wanted everything before placing it. All 3 movers, Andy, Joe, and Josh, were so kind and respectful of our homes and belongings. Before they left, they had us make sure everything was where it needed to be and were more than willing to move the item again if needed. Highly recommend Bernd for all your moving needs!

STEPHANIE JO KOCER

1771358078

Highly recommend everyone at Bernd moving! They were communicative, efficient, on time and, best of all, fun! And you don’t get to say that about a moving crew too often. Thanks to Jerry, Will and Joe. Price point was also very fair. Would use again!

Paula Ludtka

I would highly recommend this company! They were on time, efficient, and friendly. They took care with all the items and nothing was damaged. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Tim Madden

I was being steered by a relocation company toward a Westside mover to get me from Yakima to Kennewick. I told them I wanted to stay local. Bernd help settle me in when I first arrived in Yakima in 1993. So I reached out and was glad I did. Curtis runs the show now, but the same type of friendly professional team took care of me. I cannot say enough about the moving crew that packed, loaded and delivered my goods. To see them work as a team, communicate with me and each other was a huge plus. The care they took loading was the same on delivery. There was no damage or loss (except for a clay planter saucer I didn’t even know I had!). When looking for a mover in the PNW, call Bernd Moving

We used Bernd Moving in August of 2021 after I’d received changing multiple bids from another local company. They came in and gave us one bind, and asked us how they could help us and were consistent, helpful, and saved us so much time and energy. I’m a real estate agent and I have recommended them ever since. They are the best moving company in town and I wouldn’t use anyone else or recommend anyone else.

John Delaney

This is my sixth or seventh move, and this was by far the best moving experience I’ve had. My team of Will, Jerry, and Joe were total pros! I’m so impressed with their attention to detail, and ownership for every aspect of the job. I have some hard to move furniture including three glass cabinets which they wrapped in bubble wrap and cardboard to protect them, and they also dealt with some bulky items. Everything was perfect! This is the easiest move ever thanks to the team at Bernd. Highly highly recommended!

Our congregation moved recently and had the pleasure of working with Curtis and his team with Berndt Moving, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. Curtis was incredibly easy to work with—responsive and communicative. His thorough approach made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and well-managed from start to finish.Every detail was handled with care, and it was clear that Curtis takes great pride in doing the job right. If you're looking for a moving company that combines professionalism with genuine reliability, I highly recommend them. Curtis truly went above and beyond.

Curtis and his team were very prompt, professional, have the best communication skills. They took very good care of us. We collected quotes from four other local movertand Curtis was able to come in with a quote that was under them all and he even provided us with free boxes!! They made us feel like family. We highy recommend them and would use their services again.

Wow!! I am so, so pleased with Bernd Moving! I was anxious to get my 'new' piano moved into our home before Christmas, even though it was very short notice on my part. Upon my first contact to the office, I spoke with "Annette". She was incredibly nice - really great social skills! She actually got the movers to my destination in under 2 hours - and on the same day that I called! The two gentlemen who moved my piano, Will and Andy, were not only very careful and professional, but also super sweet and friendly, which I really appreciated! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Mr. Bernd and crew have gone out of their way to help me through a really tough moving situation. and I appreciated the help greatly, there were some scheduling difficulties but they were good about working around the task and difficulties at hand, thankyou for the hard work!

Bernd Moving provides excellent service from start to finish! I have used them in past years, so I am familiar with their quality of work & would not consider using anyone else.I needed to have an upright piano that is over 100 years old moved and a handcrafted hutch and mirror almost 8’ long & from the same time period. Given the age of these items I was concerned about moving both pieces, but Will, Jerry and Micah made it look easy - a fabulous team!Plus, the morning of the move I called Annette to ask if I could add another address to the work order - to pick up another piece of furniture and drop off at the address where the piano and hutch were being picked up. Annette graciously replied “yes we can do that”, so I appreciated her flexibility with only two hours of lead time!Will & his team were very patient while I vacuumed cobwebs and cleaned up in both areas as the furniture was moved from one address to another.This company is a poster child for excellent customer service and expertise in any sort of a moving situation. And, for the level of service and quality of work provided, I think they are very reasonably priced.Thank you 🙏

Last year I used Bernd Moving Systems to move my business, and it was an excellent experience! This year we used them again to move our home, and once again we received reliable and efficient service for a very reasonable price. The movers are experienced, careful, and professional. Would use them again in a heartbeat.You’re the man, Curtis!

Many thanks to Curtis and crew for the fantastic job they did moving us from Washington to Idaho ! They took so much of the burden off us from start to finish. Where they really shined was the genuine care they took with all our items. The owner assured us from the beginning that they would make things happen and they did ! What really impressed us was the good attitude of the entire crew, also they made it clear they were not happy if we were not. Once again, great job and thank you.Tony & June Duffy

I had a lot of anxiety going into our move and Bernd made it better. All of their staff were friendly, considerate, and thoughtful. These guys are experienced professionals who know their stuff. I didn’t worry about my stuff while they were transporting it - and I worry about everything.The estimate was incredibly accurate and I can’t recommend them enough.

Just suffice it to say, Curtis stepped up to "save our lives" as it were in a real estate transaction in the TriCities WHILE he was on vacation in Mexico!!!!! What a guy! His team backed him up promptly to follow up with a solution and a bid in a situation where the seller had literally been unable to get any help locally. To say they went "beyond expectations" would be a gross understatement......THANK YOU SO MUCH to Curtis and his team.

Bernd moving Systems helped my family of 5 get safely and securely from Yakima, WA to Woodinville WA. They walked through our home and had a quote ready quickly. The price was great and they were flexible with our schedule and waiting to pack until last minute as we requested. Very happy with this company and highly recommend them to help alleviate some stress of moving.

Bernd Moving helped me move from Yakima to a small town in the middle of nowhere. Curtis was an awesome person to work with. He worked tirelessly to find a place for my crates to be stored for several months while my housing was delayed. He was flexible and accommodating when my plans changed. He was even able to find movers to drive 100 miles from their storage unit to deliver my household goods. I also asked for my Tempur-pedic mattress to be transported on its side, which is not recommended and can seriously damage the mattress. I signed a waiver of release specifically for this, but Curtis and his crew packed that crate so well (like Tetris), that is arrived in perfect condition! Also, nothing was broken or damaged, unlike other moves. Usually something is broken or damaged. Bernd Moving company are the best movers I have moved with. I wish they were here in California!

I used this company to move my things out of a storage unit in Yakima to my new apartment in Utah. I've been travelling for work and no longer lived in WA, but hadn't been able to get my stuff from the storage unit. Since I was already living in Utah, I had to drive 11 hours to get to my storage unit to meet for an estimate, and just assumed I'd have to drive back again eventually for the actual move of my stuff. However, Curtis was nice enough to figure out a way for my stuff to be moved out the next day so that I wouldn't have to make a second trip. He also spent a lot of time going over my options and the pricing, so it was very clear. The very friendly movers (sorry, forgot their names) came the next day and emptied out my 10x15 storage unit in about two hours. My stuff arrived a few weeks later, earlier than expected. The movers, John and Brian, were super friendly and professional, and were very careful with my things. They had all my stuff moved into my apartment in a little over two hours. I originally didn't even consider using a moving company, and thought my brother and I could eventually get it all, but I'm so glad I didn't even attempt that (especially in the winter time). Bernd moving systems made the process so easy and it was such a relief for me to finally get all my stuff out of there. I also appreciated the phone calls for updates on when my stuff would arrive.I didn't use their packing services since my stuff was already in boxes, but my mom used this company a few months ago for her move from her apartment in Selah WA to where she is now in Florida. I was there with her when the packer arrive (Tina) and I was impressed with how efficient and organized she was in getting everything packed up and labelled. The movers came the next day and loaded it all into the truck within a few hours. She was very impressed and it was her recommendation that led me to using this company.

My experience with this company was great! Plan on using them again in the future. Movers were well organized, friendly, and courteous. Have recommended then to my friends for their moving needs.

Lorna Garcia

1571929495

We had a very good scheduling and packing experience with Bernd Moving Systems. The planning was excellent, and Berndt was able to accommodate our specific timing needs. The packers did a fantastic job. John was very good, and we we were especially impressed with Tina who packed the fragile houseware, stemware, and china. Everything was very well packed, and we had no breakage of fragile items during transport. Very impressive. Curtis, who did the estimating and coordinating, was good to work with and planned everything perfectly. The reason for the four star rating (not five) was that the weight estimate was more than two thousand pounds over the actual weight, which increased our cost. We would have liked a more accurate estimate from an experienced professional, but overall, we were very satisfied with the services provided by Berndt.

Charlene Brown

1567833942

Bernd Moving Systems did an excellent job for us. The staff at both ends of our long-haul move was a pleasure to work with. They were cheerful, hardworking and respectful of our needs. Being given a firm quote, upon review of our possessions which were in multiple mini storage units, greatly reduced our anxiety levels to start. Then, watching the obviously well-experienced driver and crew load our things with great care and expertise took care of any residual concerns about using a moving company (a first for us as we'd always done our own moving). Finally, the same driver with a different crew showed the same care with unloading and placing our things where we wanted them. And although our load turned out to weigh more than originally estimated, they stood by their quote and we were not charged more. That speaks to the integrity of the owners and management of this company. I highly recommend their services and would not hesitate to use them again should the need arise.

Tasha Groenig

1567051065

I am so overly impressed with Bernd. After having a nightmare with another company backing out last minute on our move. Bernd swept in like Prince Charming and last minute saved the day. They were punctual, fast & friendly. Didn’t break, scratch, or dent a single thing or wall. They cleaned up after themselves well. Very efficient with a fast move. Fun friendly staff that loved to joke. Worked fast, and really was affordable. I will forever use Bernd with any moves in the future. Thank you so much for the amazing service.

Maria Ramos

1561039776

I honestly couldn’t have asked for better movers! They know what they’re doing when it comes to packing ALL your belongings into the moving truck. I was afraid all my belongings were not going to fit. However, movers knew how to move and pack every single item and they communicated well with each other. In the end I think I was just looking for more stuff to put into my UHaul from all the room I had left over!! They have a great team dynamic and plan everything out. AJ, Sabin, and Jessie worked really hard the entire time they were there. I was truly impressed and I highly recommend this company!!

Venetia Hancock

1559267278

What great people. My original move plan ( with another company) completely turned upside down and these folks went to all lengths to help me straighten it out. I cant say enough about them.

Kim Dowd

1557548437

Wow. Curtis, Andy and Brian made our 334 mile move much easier. We had heavy, awkward furniture and farm equipment. The trucks needed to be unloaded in 5 different locations at our new place, and Andy and Brian handled it all professionally and with a smile. Thank you! We highly recommend Bernd Movers.

I hired some guys from this Agent, but the owner was so desperate to sell me his truck for doing a shuttle. The job was not even United but he was interrupting the guys like if it was his job. I strongly suggest you go with a more professional company. This owner is strap for cash and would do anything to get money, trying to embezzle a poor over the road driver. One of the guys was his first day and another was his 3rd week. I regret calling this agent. Never again..

Excellent and professional service! I only used their Packing Services, but it was a pleasure to work with the entire Bernd team. Curtis was friendly,and professional and Tina did a fantastic job packing up my home. She had great attention to detail and made sure to leave some essentials out and available for clean-up and living between the pack-up and the actual move date. Can't recommend them highly enough!

Bobbie Reed

Outstanding service from Annette, Curtis, Tina, Tony, Brian, Tyson and Carlos Rod!! They are all patient, gracious and professional! Excellent service with a smile!

Pat O'Farrell

1538080974

We had a very good multi state move. Packing, pickup and delivery were all as projected and on time. The crews at both ends and driver were respectful and a pleasure to work with. I had several estimates, that were all very close. We decided to go with Curtis because he spent quite a bit of time reviewing our items and giving us a detailed quote. After the quote we dealt mostly with Annette - who was very responsive to our questions, scheduling, etc. Also, we had used Bernd on local moves, which also went well. We highly recommend Bernd.

cheri Kilty

KAREN HOTCHKISS

We obtained 3 estimates for our move to Oregon- all were close so we went with our gut feeling- Curtis Bernd. We're glad we did and definitely recommend Bernd Moving Systems. In addition to having all the good qualities one looks for, Curtis and Alanna Bernd were a pleasure to work with and ensured a very smooth on-time move.

Donna Campbell

1497741682

Writing for Julie Logan who moved in Mid March.. Bernd Moving Systems was great. We were so pleased from start to finish, but late in giving our review. Everything arrived in great shape thanks to your superior packers! My husband and I have used them 3 times...Yakima to Longview, WA; then to St. George, UT and now Julie from Yakima to UT.Thanks for the great service!

Tom Gilkey

1489617782

Best move we've ever had. The packing, loading and unloading crews were all professional, courteous, capable and, most of all, caring and careful with our household goods. Every concern we had was addressed promptly and resolved to our satisfaction. The bid was competitive, and we even received a small refund once the move was completed. Can't say enough abound Bernd Moving Systems!

Sarah Doty

Cindy MacNider

Overall excellent experience. Overestimated the weight by 10%, perhaps that is industry standard. Very pleasant on both ends of the move. Packed very well. Only glitch was they were an hour late.

Bonnie Blair

Bernd Moving Systems is reliable and accommodating. They understand moving is very stressful and there is much to be coordinated. They work diligently to meet your moving needs. I have worked with Curtis Bernd twice, and plan to use Curtis and Bernd Moving again in the future.
