We're a local, family-owned moving company serving San Diego and all of San Diego County — including Oceanside, Carlsbad, San Marcos, Escondido, Chula Vista, Poway, and La Mesa.
It depends on the size of your home and access (stairs, elevators, parking). As a rough guide, a 2-person crew handles most studios and 1-bedroom apartments in about 3–5 hours; larger homes take longer. We'll give you a time estimate up front.
We recommend booking 2–4 weeks ahead, especially during peak season (summer and end of month). That said, we also take same-day and last-minute moves when our schedule allows — just call and we'll do our best to fit you in.
Most 1-bedroom apartments are handled by our 2-mover crew at $109/hr, usually in about 3–5 hours depending on access and how much you're moving. We'll give you a clear estimate before move day so you know what to expect.
Yes — we handle moves throughout California, from local San Diego County relocations to longer in-state moves. Contact us with your pickup and destination for a custom quote.
No problem — just let us know as early as you can and we'll do our best to reschedule and accommodate your new date.
For safety and legal reasons, we can't transport hazardous materials (propane, gasoline, paint, chemicals, aerosols), perishable food, or live plants and pets. We also recommend keeping cash, jewelry, and important documents with you.
Light, soft items like clothing can usually stay in dressers, but please remove anything heavy, fragile, or valuable so your furniture moves safely. When in doubt, empty it out.
We move rain or shine and take extra care to protect your belongings with wrapping and padding in wet conditions. If the weather makes it genuinely unsafe, we'll work with you to reschedule.
Declutter before you pack, label boxes by room, set aside a "first-night" essentials box, clear walkways, and reserve elevator or parking access if needed. The more accessible everything is, the faster — and cheaper — your hourly move goes.
