Moving in Altadena

Foothill homes and large lots

Altadena has Craftsman, Spanish and mid-century homes on large, often sloped lots, with long driveways, front steps, detached garages and studios. We look at the access first, size the crew for the steps and the carry, and protect floors and door frames in older homes.

Moves during the rebuild

Since the Eaton Fire, many Altadena families have been moving between rentals, storage and repaired or rebuilt homes. We move full households, small loads from storage and what was saved, and can keep a load on the truck overnight when a move-in date slips. Tell us the timeline and we plan around it.

Lake Avenue and the 210

Lake Avenue and Fair Oaks Avenue lead down to the 210 in Pasadena, so moves to Pasadena, La Cañada Flintridge or Sierra Madre are short hourly moves. Moves to the Westside or the South Bay go better with an early start. See local moving.

How it works

Your Altadena move in four steps

  1. Step 1: Tell us about the move

    Call or send the form with both addresses. A short phone or video walk-through of your Altadena home sizes the crew and the truck.

  2. Step 2: Get a written estimate

    Hourly rate, crew size and estimated hours in writing before you book. Weekday and mid-month dates are the easiest to get.

  3. Step 3: Moving day

    The lead mover calls ahead, the crew protects floors and door frames and wraps every piece of furniture before it leaves the room.

  4. Step 4: Set up in the new home

    Furniture placed where you want it, beds and tables put back together, and a walk-through with you before the crew leaves.

FAQ

Moving in Altadena: questions and answers

Local moves are hourly for the crew and truck, plus double drive time between your two addresses. On weekdays two movers start at $119 an hour and three at $159; weekends and month-end can differ. A small load from storage is a few hours for two movers; a full foothill house with steps is most of a day for three or four. You get a written estimate after a short video walk-through.

Yes. We pick up from storage units, garages or other homes and deliver to the new address, and can keep the load on the truck overnight ($129 a night for 1–2 bedrooms, $149 for 3–4) if the move-in date moves. For longer gaps see storage.

Yes. Steps and long carries are part of the hourly rate, never an extra fee. We plan where the truck stops and send enough movers so the carrying stays quick.

Tips for your move

Moving to the Inland Empire: Cities, Commutes and Heat

Most people moving to the Inland Empire tell us the same thing: they want more space. A bigger yard, a garage that fits a car, a newer house, or simply more home for the money than they could find in Los Angeles or Orange County. Our headquarters is in Moreno Valley, so the Inland Empire is home turf for our crews, and we see what works (and what goes wrong) on moving day across both counties.

Moving to North County San Diego: Coast vs. Inland Guide

North County San Diego is the stretch of San Diego County between Camp Pendleton and the city of San Diego. When people talk about moving to North County San Diego, they usually mean one of five cities: Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista, San Marcos or Escondido. Our Escondido office runs moves across all of them, and the first question we help people answer is simple: coast or inland?

Moving from the Bay Area to Southern California: A Guide

Moving from the Bay Area to Southern California is one of the most common long-distance moves in the state. We see it from San Francisco, the East Bay, the Peninsula, San Jose and Sacramento, headed to Los Angeles, Orange County, the Inland Empire and San Diego. Because the whole trip stays inside California, it works differently from a local hourly move, and knowing how it works makes planning much easier.
