Commercial Moving in Redondo Beach, CA

Moves that start and end inside California are regulated by the Department of Consumer Affairs Bureau of Household Goods and Services (BHGS), not the CPUC, which stopped regulating household movers on July 1, 2018 under Senate Bill 19. Popeye Moving & Storage operates under CAL T 189749 for moves inside California, holds USDOT 1472924 and MC 498816C for interstate work, and is fully insured. You can check any mover's permit with BHGS at bhgs.dca.ca.gov or on (916) 999-2041 before you book, and complaints about a California household mover go to BHGS.

Yes. Estimates and quotes are free, including in-home and video estimates, and a video survey lets Popeye give you a guaranteed binding price. On a move inside California the price is set in writing before anything is loaded, with a Not To Exceed figure that caps the bill unless you agree to a written Change Order For Services for added work. A verbal rate over the phone is not an estimate. For offices and warehouses we usually walk the space with you, or review it by video, so the estimate reflects the actual inventory, elevators and dock access. Call (310) 823-9510 - the office is open 6 AM to 9 PM, seven days a week, including Sunday.

Yes, that is part of planning. Evening and weekend windows are discussed at the estimate, and the final schedule depends on what both buildings allow, since many property managers set fixed freight elevator and loading dock times. The office takes calls and schedules moves from 6 AM to 9 PM, seven days a week, so you can plan with us outside your own working day.

Popeye is fully insured, and Redondo Beach property managers commonly ask movers for a certificate of insurance before they release a freight elevator or dock. Send us each building's requirements, including any wording they need on the certificate, as early as possible so it can be arranged before move day.

It depends on the city. Each city in the service area sets its own rules on truck parking, notice periods and signs, so the permit position is confirmed for your specific address during planning rather than assumed. In Pasadena, Popeye has insurance on file with the city, which qualifies it for the two working day minimum for moving permit issuance.

Typical Los Angeles ranges are $150 to $200 per hour for a two-person crew and truck on local residential moves, and $350 to $650 for a one-bedroom apartment local move. These are typical ranges, not a quote. Your price depends on your move, including carry distance where no space can be reserved, and on a move inside California it is set in writing before anything is loaded, with a Not To Exceed figure.

Yes. Popeye holds CAL T 189749 for moves inside California and USDOT 1472924 and MC 498816C for interstate work, and is fully insured. California household movers are regulated by the Bureau of Household Goods and Services (BHGS), not the CPUC, since July 1 2018 under SB 19. California requires a written estimate, and the Not To Exceed figure agreed in writing is what caps your bill.

Yes. In-home and video estimates are free, and a video survey can lead to a guaranteed binding price. Show us the parking situation, the stairs or lift, and the distance from the curb to your door, because on a Redondo job those decide the hours more than the furniture does.

Yes. Popeye offers full-service vaulted storage at its own warehouse at 5509 1/2 S Centinela Ave in Mar Vista. Goods go into vaults at the warehouse the same day they are picked up, with no overnight hold on the truck. There is no unit or key; our crews handle everything, the space is climate controlled, and there is no minimum or maximum term.

It could be either. The Hollywood Riviera straddles the City of Redondo Beach and the City of Torrance, and the parcel decides which city's rules apply. It matters here: Torrance issues oversized vehicle permits through its Police Department, while Redondo Beach issues no moving truck permit at all. We confirm which side your address is on when you call.

Building rules rather than street rules. King Harbor's mid-rise and high-rise buildings typically require a booked lift window, a certificate of insurance, a designated loading area, and they have garage height limits that stop a full-size truck entering. Where a truck cannot get in, a shuttle is planned and priced at the estimate rather than decided on the day.

Some addresses on the walk streets and along The Strand have no vehicle access to the door, so the move is carried by hand, sometimes up or down steps. We qualify those properties on the phone before a date is confirmed, and crew size and hours follow the carry rather than the volume.
