About
Our family has been in the moving business for over 25 years, and we've found great satisfaction in being part of an industry that's continually facilitating the transition of lives from different home stages.
We strive to be the best moving company in Southern California by providing quality service to all our clients and paying our workers competitive industry rates, all the while giving back to our communities through our sister organization the Adelante – Youth Empowerment Program.
The moving business allows us to give comfort to people when they are going through what is commonly one of the most stressful stages in one's life. It's a pleasure for us to be part of this special milestone in the lives of the families we serve while providing them with the best services for their needs.

How did you get started in this business?
Our family has been in the moving industry for over 25 years and have moved clients throughout the country.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Before founding our business in 2015, we had worked with various national moving companies as independent contractors for all types of household moves. Our client base has expanded considerably since we first started in the moving industry and the majority of our jobs come from referrals from past clients. We commonly move "A List" celebrities who are referred to us from our long-time clients. No matter the client or their background, we provide the best service possible to all our clients.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
At the height of the pandemic we had a client inquire about moving her elderly mother into an assisted living facility. She was concerned of health concerns regarding Covid and of the expected emotional toll for her mother of having to move from her long-time home. We assured her our movers would make the process as seamless and silent as possible so as to not discomfort her disabled mother who would be resting in a room during the move. After the move, our client called our office to commend the thoughtful movers who were very accommodating to assure her mother barely even noticed it was moving day!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
We would suggest preparing for your move well in advance to avoid the stress of organizing a last minute move. Feel free to check out our website for a list of recommended steps to take 4 weeks and 2 weeks in advance to prepare for your move, and on the day of your move.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
They should consider the following:
1. What does my project entail (moving delicate furniture, antiques, long distance, do I need storage?)
2. By when do I need it done? (Be communicative with moving companies of when they are available)
3. What is my budget (we highly recommend spending an extra bit of cash on licensed movers like us, assuring a safe, reputable and stress-free move. Anything goes wrong during your move, we will be held accountable)
