1. Gallos movers 408 393 9073. Gives you an initial estimate around $20.

Seem to be used by many ppl.

 

2. Kris 408 768 1187  . $40 per hour. Reliable and highly knowledgeable individuals when it comes to moving the items.

 

3. Bay Moving. Mr. Bay Nguyen 1-408-929-9676. Honors the initial estimate even if it took him more time to accomplish the job.

 

4. George 650-630-2450. Total around $200 for 1bdrm move.

 

5. TI moving timoving@yahoo.com Tel : 408-578-5934 or 408-568-0708

 

6. Susan Movers, Ph - 408 739 2685 (M), 408 316 7204

Personally used their service last time, movers were great but the owner did not honor initial estimate when it took slightly more time than what she estimated and quoted for a fixed bid rate.

 

7. desimovers.com. Good movers but may over charge. Go for a fixed

rate vs hourly rate while negotiating the price.

Q) How to know when your loan will be paid off and how much difference an extra payment will make?

A) Use a Loan Amortization calculator like the one below. You can play with numbers and see the massive difference 1 or 2 extra payments every year makes.
