Local Apartment Moving in Los Angeles
We move apartments across Los Angeles County, from Downtown and Hollywood to the Westside and the Valley. Local moves are hourly, crew and truck included.
-
Booked in advance, our crew packs the whole apartment or only the fragile items. Unlike most movers, we also unpack and remove every packing material.
-
Bed frames, sectional sofas, modular shelving, and dining tables that can't move whole are disassembled, protected, and rebuilt. Hardware is bagged by item.
-
If your new apartment isn't ready the day you move out, or downsizing needs time, we coordinate storage alongside your move, short-term or long-term.

Renee Fulbright We have moved 5 times in the past 6 years and this one by far was the easiest and smoothest because of Nigel and his crew! They were on time, worked fast and nothing broke during transport. Also, best prices around. Highly recommend this team for your next move!!!!
-
Bridget Brianna My movers were Kevin and Luke. Friendly, professional, and did a great job with my move. Additionally, when I set up the move, the person I spoke to on the phone provided clear guidance on what to expect. I would recommend them for your next move!
-
Dana S. These guys had an absolute first class job, they were very tidy, took care of all of our unique items that were very fragile and made a point to make sure that we didn't over lift anything. We love these guys! Roman and his team were the best!!!
-
Lauren Glass I was shocked how kind and supportive they were with my move! Very delicate with my stuff, not overly rushed and very efficient. Super considerate about my important items and where I ultimately wanted everything to go. Will be saving their contact for any future moves. Highly, highly recommending to my friends and family! Nigel and Sula were the best
-
Asia P. Sam and Serg were amazing and wrapped all of my furniture and moved everything quickly. I would definitely recommend and have Best California move me again. They also took an electronic box for me so I would not have to take it myself to the recycling place.
-
Sarah H. Roman, Fedor, and Alex were fantastic! They worked quickly and efficiently, carefully packing, wrapping, and protecting all of our furniture and belongings. They handled everything with great care, and I couldn't have asked for a better moving crew. I also really appreciated how flexible and accommodating the company was when I had to reschedule my move several times due to my house falling out of escrow more than once. Their understanding and professionalism made a stressful situation much easier. I highly recommend both this crew and the company!
-

Arjuna C Dmitrii Parii, ***** *****, and their teams provided exceptional service for our 2 bedroom full service local move in ******. To be *****, I was weary of being baited by the *** algorithm and how it handles a company called Best California Movers. One might also be lead to believe they have a suspicious amount of positive reviews. And Im relieved to say I would wager they actually deserve the name. Quoting and Booking:***** *****, with follow up from his colleagues ***** and ********, made it easy to get a quote, have all my questions answered, and finally sign to book with confidence. I had several rounds of questions from initial contact to agreement review and they gave quick and detailed information, such as the cost of materials and boxes, liability for any building damage, and estimation of how long the job would take. Other companies I requested quotes for recommended 2 or 3 crew, but ***** recommended 4 off rip for a speedier move and it turned out to be a great fit for our 2 bedroom local move. The Move: Dmitrii Parii and his team did a remarkable job. Although we moved from a 2BR apartment, we actually have quite a lot of stuff from previously moving from a 3 story house. Weve hired other movers before and Dmitriis team moved the same amount in roughly half the time, and that included disassembly and reassembly of some of our key furniture such as our bed and two standing desks with mounted monitors. His team arrived within the estimated time, worked efficiently even though I offered them snacks and to take a lunch break, and handled all of our belongings carefully. He also came prepared with many tools for disassembly and reassembly. To be honest, I expected this job to take 9-10 hours based on our previous movers and they did it in 7. I also had a fair amount of questions for Dmitrii, including with regard to the final invoice, and he was a great sport about answering all of them.

Nychelle H. Sam & Victor were the absolute best!! They were so fast and so kind! Definitely booking with them again!! They were a great price! they helped me move from my apt into storage.
-
Christine Servida Chavarria Tole and the three other gentlemen who moved our home were so efficient, had great communication, upfront about fees and worked so hard with no minute wasted. It was worth every penny we paid for the move. Would use california mover again in a heartbeat!
-
Corinne Currier Nigel and his crew were amazing!! They arrived on time, were very efficient, friendly and organized. They did a great job of packing up our stuff and moving some very large and heavy furniture. Once we got to the new house they did a great job of setting up our furniture exactly where we wanted it and not a single thing was broken or damaged. Prior to our move, Best California Movers was in communication with us about what to expect and even sent out someone to take inventory so that they could provide a cost estimate. Their pricing is extremely fair and there are no hidden fees. I’m so glad we decided to go with Best California movers and will definitely be using them again in the future.

Jenna Holmes I had the best moving experience with Tole and Stephan! They were efficient and hardworking.

Lauren W. We moved from CA to NV. Can't say enough great things about this company. From quote to move in, everything was seamless, quick responses to my questions, they arrived when they said they would and got everything delivered early the next day when they said they would. They gave us the best quote for the move, the perfect size moving truck and worked like machines. Would recommend them to anyone that's doing a big move.
-
Cherilyn Pardee Manu, Denis, and Vladimir were amazing! I needed heavy oak furniture loved from my master bedroom to the garage and they were very fast and efficient. Got the job done much faster than I expected. They were also very professional. Would use Best CA Movers services again!

G H. I had a great experience with Best California Movers. The entire process was easy. Everyone is professional. No hidden cost. The price is also great. The movers are very careful with the items. They also were able to disassemble and assemble the furnitures without any issue. They also seemed very trustworthy. I also had to use their storage option and that was also a satisfactory experience. I have used their services 3 times now. I would definitely recommend them for moving.

Move Plan Confirmation
Your crew size, timeline, equipment, and building requirements are locked in before moving day, and nothing is left open on arrival.

-
Building & Unit Protection
We put down floor runners, door covers, and elevator padding before moving a single item. Your unit and common areas stay protected throughout.

Moving Services by Apartment Size
-
Studio and One-Bedroom Apartments
Compact moves still need precise planning when elevators and loading zones are involved. Studios and one-bedrooms are typically done in 3–5 hours with a two-person crew.
Typical range: $450–$900 for studios; $650–$1,300 for one-bedroom apartments.
-
Two- and Three-Bedroom Apartments
Larger units need more crew, more time, and more planning. We match the crew to your inventory and your building — typically 5–8 hours with a three-person crew.
Typical range: $1,100–$2,200+ depending on unit size, building access, and services.

High-Rise and Condo Building Moves
High-rise moves come with elevator reservations, COI paperwork, parking clearance, and restricted move hours. We've worked across Downtown LA, Century City, Koreatown, West Hollywood, and Westwood.
What Makes Moving an LA Apartment Different? Our Approach.
Moving in Los Angeles isn't just about lifting boxes. Apartment buildings here come with their own logistics, and crews that haven't done it before show up unprepared and cause problems for everyone involved.
There may already be building management rules to meet, an elevator window to work within, and paperwork to complete. Loading zones fill up by 9 a.m. High-rise towers restrict moving hours to narrow time windows. Walk-up buildings with tight stairwells and long hallways require different equipment, different crew positioning, and more careful planning than a ground-floor unit. We'll make sure you have all the information you need in advance, so you can properly communicate with your building's management before the move even starts.
Best California Movers has handled hundreds of Los Angeles apartment relocations, from studio units in Koreatown to penthouse condos in Century City. We know what different buildings require, the access issues that can arise, and how to plan so your move goes smoothly.

01 Does my building need a Certificate of Insurance from the movers?
Many apartment buildings in Los Angeles, especially high-rises and managed complexes, require a Certificate of Insurance before movers can begin the job. We provide COIs as a standard part of our service. When you book, tell us your building’s requirements so we can issue the documentation in the format it asks for.
02 How far in advance should I book for an LA apartment move?
We recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance, especially for moves between May and September – peak moving season in California. If you need to move sooner, contact us. We accommodate last-minute scheduling when availability allows, sometimes within a few days.
03 Can you move me if my building has elevator restrictions or limited moving hours?
Yes. We work within your building’s time windows, not around them. Tell us about any building requirements when you schedule your move, whether it’s an elevator reservation, limited moving hours, or loading dock rules. We’ll plan around them from day one.
04 What's the difference between packing and a full unpacking service?
Packing means our crew brings all materials and packs your apartment before the move. Unpacking means we unpack your belongings at the new apartment, place everything where you want it, and remove all packing materials when we’re done. You can add one, both, or neither; your estimate reflects exactly what you’ve chosen.
05 Do you offer financing for apartment moves?
Yes. Our financing options allow you to spread your moving costs over time. Ask about available plans when you request your estimate.
06 What if my building requires an elevator reservation?
Once your building’s elevator window is set, we plan the crew’s work around it and schedule the truck to arrive inside it. If your building requires a COI or any other documentation, we provide that as well.
07 What if something is damaged during the move?
We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Basic valuation protection is included at no additional cost. During your consultation, we’ll explain your options so you can choose the level of protection that best fits your needs.
08 Do you move specialty or high-value items from apartments?
Yes. We regularly handle flat-screen televisions, glass-top furniture, artwork, antiques, and other items that require extra care. Let us know what you have when you request your estimate, and we’ll ensure the crew is prepared.
