Apartments are our core business

We handle all of it before move day — that's the difference between a 3-hour move and a 6-hour one.

Frequently Asked Questions

My building requires a COI — is that extra?

No — we issue certificates of insurance with your management's exact wording within 24 hours, free, for both buildings.

Do you charge for stairs in walk-up buildings?

No. Stairs are included in the hourly rate — a third of LA's apartments are walk-ups and we staff accordingly.

Can you move just my room from a shared apartment?

Yes — single-room moves are routine, usually finishing at the 3-hour minimum (~$300).

What if my new building's elevator isn't reserved?

Tell us both addresses and we make the reservations — an unreserved elevator is the #1 cause of apartment moves running long.

Do you provide boxes?

Wardrobe boxes are loaned free on move day. For packing boxes, our packing service includes all materials, or source free boxes a few weeks ahead.
