Please note that we do not accept reservations made over the phone. Ensure that all fields are filled out and double-checked before submitting. Upon receipt of your reservation, we will send a confirmation email containing your details, along with an invoice for a refundable deposit.

To optimize your move, consider being flexible with your schedule by selecting an off-peak date or choosing a half-day move. You can save on removal time by disassembling your furniture on your own (if you can't don't worry there is no additional fee for this task). Moving your belongings to the nearest room to the building’s entrance or exit can also reduce the overall move time. For minor items, it is advisable to pack them yourself using cardboard boxes and bulk packaging. Please note that damage to items packed by the owner is not covered by moving insurance, so please be diligent when packing. Additionally, to reduce the number of items involved in the move, you may want to consider donating any unwanted belongings to charity.
We recognize that every move is distinct, and we do our best to reduce costs. However, factors such as the number of items, building layout, staircases, walking distances, and the level of item protection may affect the duration of your move. While we cannot guarantee the exact time it will take, we are committed to providing fast, top-notch service to alleviate any concerns you may have. Our local moves are charged at fixed hourly rates, while long-distance and heavy-load moves are charged at a flat rate.
Our insurance policy complies with the regulations in the State of California. However, please note that our complimentary insurance covers only up to $0.60 compensation per one pound of damaged items. It is essential to keep in mind that we cannot be held accountable for items that become scratched or damaged due to the customer's refusal of adequate protection. Therefore, we strongly recommend against cutting costs by compromising on protection. In case some of your items are not valuable or already damaged, you may request the lead mover not to wrap them, but please be aware that this is at your own risk.
As a reliable family-owned moving company, we take pride in our teams of hand-picked movers who are employed by us and not temporary or day laborers. They undergo extensive training, and we continually update our protocols to ensure that we provide you with the best possible service. Our movers are also subjected to background checks and routine alcohol and drug screening to ensure that they meet our high standards. To improve their knowledge of accident prevention, they attend regular workshops.
