Moving in El Cajon

Apartments, condos and manufactured homes

El Cajon has a large share of apartment and condo complexes, many with exterior stairs and assigned parking, plus mobile-home and manufactured-home communities with their own rules on move hours and where a truck can stop. Check with the park office or HOA before moving day and tell us what they say; we send enough movers so the stairs do not stretch the day.

Hillside homes in Fletcher Hills and Granite Hills

In Fletcher Hills, Granite Hills and toward Mount Helix, homes sit on slopes with steep driveways and long walks to the door. We check the street first, bring a truck that can turn around and take apart furniture that will not clear a tight entry. Long carries are part of the hourly rate.

Valley heat and freeways

El Cajon sits in a valley and gets much hotter than the coast in summer, so we start early to keep the crew fast and protect electronics. The 8, the 67 and the 125 make moves to La Mesa, Santee and downtown San Diego short, but the 8 is slow at rush hour heading west in the morning and east in the evening.

How it works

Your El Cajon 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 El Cajon 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.

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.
