What Is Office & Business Moving?
Office and business moving means relocating a company's workspace-desks, cubicles, files, IT gear-from one location to another. In LA, this often involves high-rise elevators, loading docks, and building COI requirements. We plan the move, coordinate with the building, and execute with minimal disruption.
About Office & Business Moving in Los Angeles County
From glass-tower offices in West Los Angeles to creative studios near El Porto and corporate campuses in Encino, Popeye Moving & Storage Co. handles every detail of your commercial relocation. Our crews work within building access requirements and LA's COI (Certificate of Insurance) mandates that most property managers require before a single box moves through a lobby. We use Wesco industrial dollies, Genie lift equipment for heavy machinery, and custom furniture pads rated for sensitive electronics - protecting your assets whether you're moving 10 workstations or 200.
Need sensitive documents or server equipment held between lease dates? Our Vaulted Storage service keeps your inventory climate-controlled and catalogued. We also offer Full-Service Packing so your IT team and staff stay focused on business continuity. Popeye serves businesses across Santa Monica, Glendale, and throughout greater LA under our Commercial Moving category, while homeowner relocations fall under our Residential Moving services.
LA's dry Santa Ana wind conditions and older mid-century building stock in areas like Encino require experienced crews who understand freight elevator scheduling, parking permits from LADOT, and weekend-only move restrictions common in dense corridors.

Common Office & Business Moving Problems
LA commercial buildings require COIs naming the property, elevator blocks booked weeks ahead, and loading dock slots that fill fast. Century City and DTLA high-rises have narrow freight corridors and limited parking. Traffic makes daytime moves slow; after-hours or weekend scheduling is essential. Building managers prefer movers they know-amateurs get delayed or rejected.

Office & Business Moving - Frequently Asked Questions
Office moving costs in Los Angeles generally range from $1,500 to $8,000+ depending on office size, floor access, and elevator availability. Downtown LA high-rises often require after-hours moves, which affects pricing. Popeye Moving & Storage Co. provides free on-site estimates with transparent, itemized quotes.
Yes, and for most offices that is the sensible plan rather than an upgrade. Many Downtown and Century City buildings require it anyway, restricting moves to evenings or weekends and to a booked service lift. Tell us your operating hours and your building's rules at the estimate, because those two together usually determine the schedule more than the volume does.
Yes, and it is usually the step that decides the date rather than our availability. Most commercial buildings require a certificate naming the landlord and the management company as additional insured, often with specified limits, and issuing one takes days rather than hours. Send us the building's requirements when you book and we will start it immediately.
Sequence and labelling, mostly. Moving in phases so critical functions stay running, labelling by destination room rather than by origin, and having IT equipment disconnected and reconnected by whoever supports it rather than by a moving crew. We plan the order with you rather than simply loading everything and asking where it goes at the other end.
Have your own IT people or provider handle disconnection and reconnection, and schedule them around our load and unload rather than on the same hour. We will move the equipment safely and place it where it needs to be; what we will not do is unplug a server rack and pretend that is a moving job. Getting that sequencing right is usually the difference between reopening on Monday and not.
Workstations, partition systems and large conference tables are usually dismantled and rebuilt, and that is a meaningful part of the hours on any office move. Some proprietary systems need their own installer rather than a general crew, so tell us what you have at the estimate. Discovering a bespoke partition system on the morning is how a Saturday becomes a Sunday.
Often both, from two different authorities. The building controls the lift and the dock; the city controls the kerb. LADOT covers the City of Los Angeles only and asks for five working days, while Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Culver City, Pasadena, Torrance and the Beach Cities each run their own process. We establish which applies to your address.
Ask for the CAL T number and check it. The CPUC stopped regulating household movers on 1 JULY 2018; authority now sits with the Department of Consumer Affairs BUREAU OF HOUSEHOLD GOODS AND SERVICES. Popeye Moving and Storage holds CAL T 189749 for moves within California, plus USDOT 1472924 and MC 498816C for interstate work. Ask for proof of insurance and a certificate naming your landlord or building where required.
