More about our Santa Barbara location

Welcome to Meathead Movers of Santa Barbara!

If you are moving to or from anywhere in Santa Barbara, we are the moving company for you! Our professionally trained athlete movers and our move concierge are here to help you with every stage of your move in the American Riviera.

We’ve been the preferred moving company for Santa Barbara residents for over a decade. Our community involvement in this area includes the President of Meathead Movers, Aaron Steed, serving as the co-President of Domestic Violence Solutions, which serves all of Santa Barbara County, continuing our history of commitment to combatting domestic violence and helping those who fall victim to it. Additionally, many of our athlete movers have attended either Santa Barbara City College or UCSB. In fact, Aaron speaks to Entrepreneurship students at UCSB every year!

Over the years, while moving both the movers and shakers of the entertainment world to their second homes on the Summerland and Montecito coasts or the fourth-generation families out on Hope Ranch, we’ve learned all about what makes Santa Barbara so special. Strolling down State Street, listening to laughter and New Orleans jazz pouring out of the Palace Restaurant, tracing Father Junipero Serra’s footsteps at the Mission Santa Barbara, or watching the competitive beach volleyball games at East Beach are all wonderful ways to pass the time in Santa Barbara.

You don’t want to miss the infamous Summer Solstice Parade or Old Spanish Days, where both visitors and residents are entranced by whirling dancers in beautiful costumes, mariachis strolling the streets, and the smells of authentic food wafting through the air. With its perfect weather, beautiful beaches, and charming culture, Santa Barbara is a great place to call home.

Whether you are moving to, from or within Santa Barbara, we’re here to support you along the way. Our services range from local moving, long-distance moving, on-site moving for rearranging your home/office or loading rental trucks, and even a distinctive moving concierge service, which connects you with local service providers.

In preparation for your move, please make use of our handy Moving Checklist. Also, check out our amazing packing professionals, Meathead Packers. These are just a couple tools that we have created to help you with your move.

We know moving is stressful, but it’s our job to ease your transition and we take pride in doing so.

Can’t say enough about Meathead movers and the job they did. Even when some items started to possibly take a wrong turn their team leader Isaiah was able to figure on the fly how to get past the issue and get things going to make moving a pleasant experience. Shout out also to a great crew who was friendly while working their tail off.

Sal and Kyler moved me across town today. They handled my precious items with care and respect. I would highly recommend Meathead movers.

Lori Anderson Central Valley

My experience was amazing with Eddie and Bryan! They were so respectful, courteous and efficient! These guys were jogging to my Pids unit after what seemed to be 100 loads. I’d use them again and again! Best movers EVER!!!! Please ask for Eddie & Bryan if you want the BEST!

Sheri Vivanco San Diego County

The guys did an excellent job. They worked quickly and efficiently all while asking me questions when necessary. Hiring Meathead movers do the heavy lifting and rebuild our furniture was worth every penny! I’d hire them again in a second!

Danielle Davidson Central Valley

We had the best service! They were timely and communicative. Angel and Justin are great guys, they took care of everything for us and they really hustled when we needed it. Thank you!!!

Nikki Rae Hart Bakersfield

Wow! This was our first time using a moving service and it was the smoothest move we have ever had! We have moved over 15 times in our life and this was by far the easiest transition into a new home that we consider to have been a difficult move. The movers are strong and friendly! Super helpful and very professional. Would use this service again and highly encourage others to use this service too!

Barbara Poor Bakersfield

From my initial call to working with the movers throughout every step of my move, the entire experience was positive, professional, and reassuring.

Mark in the office was incredibly helpful and made everything so easy. During the move, Reuben and George were amazing! They were professional, incredibly efficient, friendly, thoughtful, and very mindful with my belongings. They worked quickly and efficiently without ever wasting time.

I have used many different moving companies over the years, and this was by far the best moving experience I’ve ever had. I will absolutely be hiring Reuben and George again for the second half of my move.

Completely worth it! I highly recommend Meathead Movers and My favorites! Reuben & George!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rebecca Rodriguez Central Valley

The movers called ahead of time to notify they were on the way. They were friendly and professional. All of our items were packed and load most efficiently. Since we were moving items to storage, they catered to our request of were certain items should be placed. Most grateful for that. It was a two man team and they were done ahead of schedule. Thank you Meathead Movers for the exceptional service.
