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.
