Johnson & Daly Moving & Storage Comparative Summary

Johnson & Daly Moving & Storage provides a variety of services designed to give its customers flexibility in their moving plans. The company handles every aspect of clients’ relocations—from packing and wrapping to custom crating and arranging furniture—and its San Rafael storage facility is capable of holding about 900 shipping containers. As an alternative to traditional moving vans, it also offers moving pods and trailers, which customers can fill and have picked up from their homes.

Owner Tim Johnson began working in the moving business in 1979. “I started out with some blankets off my bed and a beat-up pickup truck,” he says. From that beginning, Mr. Johnson has expanded Johnson & Daly Moving & Storage into one of the largest moving companies in Marin County, with 24 trucks that move approximately 2,500 households every year. As an affiliate of nationwide moving firm Mayflower/United, the company can arrange all types of local, national and international relocations. “We can even ship boats,” adds Mr. Johnson.

Johnson & Daly Moving & Storage emphasizes quality above all. “In Marin, people tend to have very nice homes and furnishings,” says Mr. Johnson. “They want quality service and assurance that their belongings will arrive in good order.” To that end, the company employs long-term, highly-trained movers who share its philosophy for providing excellent service. “Most of our movers have been with us for more than 10 years, and the less experienced ones work as part of larger crews until they gain the experience to work on their own.”
