WHAT'S INCLUDED IN RESIDENTIAL MOVING
Residential Moving Services We Offer
Local Residential Moving
A local move is mostly about access: stairs, driveways, parking and building rules decide how long it takes. We look at both homes before quoting so the estimate reflects the real job. The price is set in writing before anything goes on the truck.
Apartment Moving
An apartment move is decided as much by the building as by the furniture. Elevator windows, certificates of insurance and loading rules set the shape of the day. We find out what both buildings require and plan the move around it.
Long Distance Moving
A long-distance move falls under one of two rulebooks, depending on whether it crosses a state line. Popeye holds the authority for both and tells you which applies to your move. Estimates are free, and a guaranteed binding price is available after a video survey.
Senior Moving
Moving later in life usually means leaving a long-time home, choosing what fits in a smaller space and working with family who may live far away. We plan the move around the person moving, at a pace they set. Every California move gets a written price with a Not To Exceed figure before anything is loaded.
Last-Minute Moving
Leases end early, start dates move and booked movers cancel. If you need to move sooner than planned, call us and we will tell you which dates we have open. When a date works, the move is planned and priced in writing like any other.
About Our Residential Moving Services in Los Angeles
Popeye Moving & Storage has moved Los Angeles households since 1994 and served more than 50,000 clients, from Santa Monica apartments to family homes in Pasadena and Long Beach. Local Residential Moving covers moves within the Los Angeles area, with furniture padded and wrapped, floors and doorways protected, and beds and tables taken apart and reassembled. Apartment Moving plans around the details that apartment and condo buildings bring: elevator reservations, loading zones, stairs and building rules.
Senior Moving is paced for older adults downsizing or moving to a smaller home or community, with help deciding what goes, packing and setting up the new space. Long Distance Moving takes households from Los Angeles to other California cities or across state lines, under CAL T 189749 for in-state work and USDOT 1472924 and MC 498816C for interstate work. Last-Minute Moving is for when plans change at short notice; call and we will tell you honestly what dates and crews are available.
On a move inside California the price is set in writing before anything is loaded, with a Not To Exceed figure that caps your bill unless you agree to a written Change Order. Local hourly moves follow the state tariff, including the double drive time rule, and we explain how it applies at the estimate. If your new home is not ready, goods can wait in our climate controlled vaulted warehouse in Mar Vista.
Estimates are free, including in-home and video estimates. Call (310) 823-9510, 6 AM to 9 PM seven days a week, to plan your move.

Residential Moving FAQs
Typical Los Angeles ranges are $150 to $200 per hour for a two-person crew and truck on a local residential move, $350 to $650 for a one-bedroom apartment local move, and $800 to $2,500 for senior moving. California long-distance moves from Los Angeles typically run $1,500 to $5,000 and interstate moves $2,500 to $7,000+. These are typical market ranges, not a quote. Your price is set in writing before anything is loaded, with a Not To Exceed figure on a move inside California.
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. Before your move you should also receive the booklet Important Information for Persons Moving Household Goods (within California). Call (310) 823-9510 - the office is open 6 AM to 9 PM, seven days a week, including Sunday.
California's tariff rules for local hourly moves charge travel time between the origin and the destination at twice the actual driving time. It is a regulated charge, not padding, and traffic at the time of day you move affects it. We explain how it applies to your move at the estimate so it is not a surprise on the bill.
It depends on the city and the street. Each city in the service area sets its own rules for truck parking, notice periods and signs, so the permit position is confirmed for your specific address during planning. In Pasadena, Popeye has insurance on file with the city, which qualifies it for the two working day minimum for moving permit issuance.
For apartments and condos we confirm elevator reservations, loading zones and any certificate of insurance the building requires before the date is set. Hillside homes and narrow streets often mean a smaller truck or a shuttle from a larger truck parked nearby, which is the standard method on restricted-access properties and is priced at the estimate. Properties with no vehicle access are discussed on the phone before a date is confirmed.
Yes, when crews and trucks are available. Call (310) 823-9510 and we will tell you plainly which dates we can offer. A short-notice move still gets a written price before anything is loaded, with a Not To Exceed figure on a move inside California, and a video survey can stand in for an in-home visit when time is short.
Furniture is padded and wrapped, and floors and doorways are protected. On a California move, valuation sets the mover's liability and is not insurance: the rate is calculated on 60 cents per pound per article, but unless you declare another value the mover's maximum liability is up to 20,000 dollars of actual cash value, and you have the right to be offered higher valuation. File any claim in writing within nine months of delivery and keep your estimate and bill of lading.
