Movers in Riverside

Moving in Riverside

Historic homes and newer tracts

Riverside has a wide range of homes: Craftsman and Spanish Revival houses in the Wood Streets and around downtown with narrow doors and original floors, mid-century homes in Magnolia Center and Arlington, and newer two-story tracts in Orangecrest and Mission Grove, many with HOAs. We protect floors and door frames in the older homes and get HOA move hours ahead for the newer ones.

Students and apartments

UC Riverside, California Baptist University and Riverside City College bring a lot of apartment moves, mostly in June and September. Two movers can usually finish a student apartment in a few hours; book early for those weeks. A single dresser or desk can also go as a one-item move.

Heat, the 91 and the Festival of Lights

Summer afternoons in Riverside often pass 100 degrees, so we start early to keep the crew fast and electronics out of the heat. The 91 toward Corona and Orange County and the 60 and 215 interchange are slow at rush hour. Downtown streets around the Mission Inn are busy during the Festival of Lights from late November into January.

How it works

Your Riverside 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 Riverside 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.
