Descanso homes sit on large lots, often on unpaved or private roads, with barns, workshops, sheds and outdoor furniture. Send us a map pin and any gate details, tell us whether a large truck can turn around at the house, and we include the outbuildings in the estimate. We do not move animals.
Descanso is in the mountains east of Alpine. Summers are warm, winters are cold and snow is possible on the higher roads. We watch the forecast with you and, if the roads are not safe, agree on another day.
The I-8 connects Descanso with Alpine and El Cajon, and Highway 79 runs north toward Julian. Moves to Harbison Canyon or the rest of East County are local hourly moves with double drive time. See local moving.

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. The drive between your two addresses is part of the hourly total, and outbuildings add time; the estimate shows both up front. You get a written estimate after a short video walk-through.

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.
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 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.
