Our Los Angeles Moving and Storage Services

Long-Term Storage
For a home being staged, an international relocation, or a long renovation, we store up to 12 months. Items stay wrapped as loaded, never in shared units.

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.

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!
-
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!
-
Sara H. Sam and Victor great moving service thank you very much. very helpful stress free! Great workers I will be hiring them again a very good company. Good pricing very affordable.
-
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!

-
Jenna Holmes I had the best moving experience with Tole and Stephan! They were efficient and hardworking. They were very careful with all of my items and made sure they were wrapped so that they would not be any damages. I have used this company in the past and will use them again in the future if I move again! I highly recommend.
-
Dani Mason Tole and Stephan were amazing! They were so helpful, careful, and organized! We were able to move all of our belongings in just a few hours for an an affordable price. Absolutely plan on using them for help again down the line!
-
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.
-
Andrew Toriello Nigel and Crew are the best in the business, highly recommend! They were timely, and incredibly efficient. No damages and everything was very organized. Seriously use this for your next move!
-
Joshua M. Sam and Andrew did a great job! We hired them for our moving service and they did a great job! They took great care of our furniture, made sure to keep it wrapped and protected from any damages. They are able to collaborate with you and are kind men. For a 5 hour labor job we paid a reasonable price! Thank you guys!
-
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.
-
Bernadette Jones Great move experience with Alex & Ivan! They were very professional, wuick and took good care of my belongings! Highly recommend and would definitely use 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.
-
Daniela L. This is my second time using Best California Movers. This second time around Roman and his team helped me out. They were very efficient, asked for direction and had great customer service. They helped me pack up my garage and treated all my items with care. Will be using them again!

We provide a single itemized estimate covering every phase. The price reflects your actual situation, not a one-size-fits-all estimate that changes later.
What affects your total cost:
- Home size and total volume of belongings
- Move distance (local vs. long-distance)
- Storage duration
- Packing and unpacking services added
- Building access requirements (COI, elevator window, loading dock rules)
- Delivery distance and any access logistics at the new address

| Home Size | Recommended Storage Duration | Typical Monthly Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1 bedroom | 2–6 weeks | $100–$180 |

Every storage estimate is itemized. The price you receive covers the entire pickup process: pickup, secure storage, and delivery. These services aren’t priced separately.
When Los Angeles Moves Don't Line Up, and What to Do About It
In most cities, the timeline works: you move out, you move in. In Los Angeles, however, it rarely goes that cleanly.
Your escrow closes two weeks after your lease ends. Your new home needs three weeks of renovation before it's livable. Your long-distance move lands before your building's move-in date. You're downsizing from a four-bedroom and need time to sort what stays before committing to the new space. In each of these scenarios, your belongings need a safe place — and you need a single team managing the sequence, not two separate companies handing off your furniture between them.
Best California Movers handles moving and storage as one coordinated service. We pack your home, transport everything, hold it in secure facilities, and deliver, including full unpacking at your new address. You'll get one crew and one price before we start. No self-storage runs, no rented trucks, and no handed-off chain of custody.
The most common reasons LA clients combine moving with storage:
- Escrow or lease timing gap between your move-out and move-in dates
- Home renovation or remodel that needs to be completed before you settle in
- Downsizing and sorting through inventory before committing it to the new space
- Long-distance relocation arriving before the new building's access window opens
- Summer peak season — when lease-end and move-in dates rarely overlap by design

01 How does moving with storage work?
We handle pickup, storage, and delivery as one coordinated service. Our crew comes to your home on your move-out date, packs and loads your belongings, and transports them to our secure facilities. When your new home is ready, whether that’s two weeks or several months later, we schedule delivery and bring everything to your new address. You won’t need to visit a storage unit or arrange a separate truck.
02 What's the difference between short-term and long-term storage?
Short-term storage covers gaps of a few weeks to three months — typical for escrow delays, renovation timelines, or lease overlaps. Long-term storage is available for clients who need more time, such as during extended renovations, international relocations, or staging and selling situations. Rates differ between the two, and we’ll quote your specific duration when you request your estimate.
03 Can you store my belongings during a home renovation?
Yes. Renovation bridge storage is one of the most common reasons LA clients combine moving and storage. We pick up your belongings before construction begins, store them securely through renovation, and deliver them once the work is done. If you need only partial storage — some rooms staying occupied while others are cleared — we can also work with that.
04 Are my belongings protected while in storage?
Yes. Your items are stored in monitored, secured facilities. Every piece of furniture is wrapped and padded from pickup and stays protected throughout the storage period — nothing is unwrapped and re-wrapped between arrival and departure. We inventory your belongings when we pick them up, making it easy to confirm that everything is returned in the same condition at delivery. Coverage options are explained during your estimate consultation.
05 Do you offer financing for moving with storage?
Yes. We offer financing that lets you spread the cost of your move and storage over time instead of paying the full amount upfront. This is especially beneficial for clients managing longer storage durations alongside relocation costs. Ask about available plans when you request your estimate.
06 How far in advance should I book moving with storage in Los Angeles?
We recommend booking three to four weeks ahead, particularly for moves between May and September — peak moving season in California, when availability tightens and storage coordination requires more lead time. If your timeline is tighter, contact us, as we work with shorter windows when capacity allows.
07 Can I access my belongings while they're in storage?
Access to stored items during the holding period depends on your specific arrangement. For most clients, full delivery is scheduled when the new home is ready. If you anticipate needing access to specific items before delivery, such as furniture for a staged move-in or items for a renovation contractor, let us know when you book, and we’ll structure the arrangement accordingly.
08 Do you offer unpacking after my items are delivered from storage?
Yes, and it differentiates us from most LA movers. After delivery, our crew unpacks your belongings, places everything where you want it, and removes all packing materials before leaving. For clients who’ve waited through a renovation or a closing gap, this means their new home is livable the day the truck arrives. Ask about unpacking services when you request your estimate.
