Services
Local Moving
We specialize in local moves within Southern California, offering flat hourly rates with no hidden fees. Our team handles everything from apartment-to-house transitions to complex in-home rearrangements. With two warehouses in Torrance and Long Beach, we provide efficient service for moves up to 50 miles from our dispatch centers. Our minimum commitment of 2.5 hours ensures flexibility for small jobs while maintaining professional standards for larger relocations.
Long-Distance Moving
We deliver nationwide moving services across the continental United States, charging by weight and distance with a 1,000-lb minimum. Our guaranteed quotes include no fuel surcharges or taxes, and we handle every mile of your move directly without subcontractors. Specialized equipment and experienced crews ensure safe transport for households and businesses relocating from or to Southern California.
Vault Storage
Our wooden vault storage system offers single-move convenience and enhanced security compared to traditional self-storage. Standard 8x7x5 ft vaults hold up to 1,500 lbs, with smaller options available. Stored in fully insured warehouses with limited access, these vaults eliminate the need for double-moving and provide climate-controlled protection for furniture, antiques, and household goods during transitional periods.
Commercial Moving
With over 50 years of experience, we handle commercial relocations from single-suite equipment moves to full office transitions. Our services include specialized restaurant and warehouse moving, with planning assistance to minimize business disruption. Hourly rates start at $130 for two movers, and we offer flexible scheduling for after-hours operations to accommodate business needs.
Packing Services
Our packing services use high-quality materials including specialty boxes for fragile items, with rates matching our moving fees at $130/hour for two packers. We provide china barrels, mirror cartons, and wardrobe boxes with hanger bars. All items receive protective wrapping in newsprint, with boxes sealed and labeled for easy unpacking during local or long-distance moves.
