LOCAL MOVERS

Local Movers in Los Angeles

Los Angeles local moves come with challenges you don’t find in most cities. The distances are longer, the traffic is worse, parking enforcement is aggressive, and building rules vary wildly from a Venice bungalow to a DTLA high-rise. Poseidon Moving handles LA relocations with the planning, crew, and equipment to navigate all of it — whether you’re moving across Silver Lake or from the Westside to the Valley.

We offer both hourly and flat rate pricing for local moves. Hourly gives you flexibility when the scope is straightforward. Flat rate locks in a guaranteed price when you want certainty. Either way, you get a professional crew, a properly sized truck, furniture wrapping, disassembly and reassembly, and full transport from pickup to placement.

EVERY MOVE INCLUDES

Full-Service Local Moving

Every local move with Poseidon includes furniture wrapping, disassembly and reassembly, careful loading, and full transport — all covered in your estimate. Add professional packing if you want us to box your home, or storage if your dates don’t line up.

If your building requires a Certificate of Insurance, we issue those before move day so access is confirmed in advance. Moving out of state? Our long distance moving services cover interstate and cross country relocations nationwide.

WHAT WE DO

Los Angeles Moving Services

Every LA move is different. Here’s how we break down our services so you can pick exactly what fits.

HOMES & APARTMENTS

Residential Moving

Houses, condos, apartments, and townhomes. We organize by room, protect flooring and walls during transit, and place everything where you want it at the new address. If the building has move-in rules, we coordinate those too.

OFFICES & BUSINESSES

Commercial Moving

Workstation breakdowns, server equipment, filing systems, and conference room furniture. We schedule around your business hours — including evenings and weekends — so your team loses as little productive time as possible.

SAME DAY

Last Minute Movers

Your original company canceled. Your closing date moved up. Whatever happened, our crews can mobilize the same day with a full truck and the right equipment. No scrambling on your end — just call and we handle it.

LOADING & UNLOADING

Labor Only Movers

You already rented the truck or booked a PODS container. You just need people who know how to load it properly, maximize space, and keep everything protected. That’s exactly what this service covers.

FULL & PARTIAL

Packing & Unpacking

Choose full packing where we box everything, partial packing where you handle the easy stuff and we handle the fragile items, or just unpacking at the other end. Professional-grade materials and organized labeling on every job.

SHORT & LONG TERM

Storage Solutions

Closing dates don’t always line up. When there’s a gap between move-out and move-in, your belongings go into secure, climate-appropriate facilities and get delivered whenever you’re ready.

PRICING

How Much Does a Local Move Cost in LA?

Local moves are priced by the hour based on crew size. A studio or one-bedroom typically needs a two-person crew for 2 to 4 hours. Larger homes may need three or four movers and take a full day. Floor level, stairways, walking distance to the truck, and whether you add packing all factor in.

Travel time is part of the total. This is the time it takes our crew to drive from our base to your pickup address at the start, and from your delivery address back to our truck parking at the end. In LA, travel time varies depending on your neighborhood and the time of day — it’s billed at the same hourly rate as labor. For moves where you want the total locked in advance, our flat rate option eliminates the variable entirely.

Use our online quote tool to get a number in minutes. We give you an estimate before move day so you know exactly what to budget.

MOVE SIZE	EST. COST
Studio	$400 – $800
1 Bedroom	$600 – $1,200
2 Bedroom	$1,000 – $1,800
3 Bedroom	$1,500 – $2,800
4+ Bedroom	$2,200 – $4,000+

WHY POSEIDON

Why Choose Poseidon for Local Moving in LA

✓

Full-Time, Professionally Trained Crews

Every mover who shows up at your door is a full-time Poseidon employee. Our crews are trained in proper lifting technique, furniture handling, and truck loading strategy. The people moving your belongings are the people we’re accountable for.

✓

We Know LA Buildings and Access Challenges

High-rise condos in DTLA, rent-controlled apartments in Koreatown, hillside homes in Los Feliz, gated communities in Calabasas, bungalows in Venice — we’ve moved in all of them. We know which buildings need COIs, which require elevator reservations weeks in advance, and which streets need parking permits.

✓

Hourly or Flat Rate — Your Choice

Hourly pricing works well for smaller, straightforward moves. Flat rate locks in a guaranteed price when you want certainty — especially useful in LA where traffic and building delays can stretch an hourly move. We’ll recommend the right option based on your situation.

✓

You Talk to the Same Person from Estimate to Delivery

No call centers. No being transferred to someone who doesn’t know your move. Your coordinator handles everything from the initial estimate through final placement, and they’re reachable when you need them.

✓

98% of Our Customers Would Refer Us

That number comes from post-move surveys, not marketing material. When nearly every customer says they’d send their friends and family to you, that’s the only credential that matters.

QUESTIONS

Los Angeles Moving Questions Answered

It depends on crew size, how much you’re moving, and access conditions. A studio typically runs $400 to $800. A 3-bedroom home runs $1,500 to $2,800. Request a quote for an exact number based on your specifics.

Travel time is the time it takes our crew to drive from our base to your pickup address, and from your delivery address back to our truck parking after the job. It’s billed at the same hourly rate as labor. In LA, this varies based on your neighborhood and traffic conditions. If you choose flat rate pricing, travel time is already built into the locked price.

Hourly works well for smaller, straightforward moves with easy access. Flat rate is better when you want price certainty — especially for larger moves, hillside homes, or situations where LA traffic and building delays could stretch the clock. We’ll recommend the right option when you request your estimate.

We handle that. Many LA buildings and HOAs require a Certificate of Insurance before granting move-in access. We issue COIs and coordinate elevator and loading dock reservations so your move isn’t delayed by paperwork or scheduling conflicts.

Two to four weeks is ideal. End-of-month dates and summer weekends fill up fastest, so the earlier you book during those windows, the better your options. That said, we also handle same-day and last minute requests when availability allows.

Yes. Hollywood Hills, Laurel Canyon, Mt. Washington, and other hillside neighborhoods are part of our regular service area. We assess access conditions before move day — steep driveways, narrow winding streets, and long carries from the truck to the front door — and plan accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

View all

How do I get an estimate?

Choose whichever fits your schedule for a free quote or consultation.

✓Video walkthrough. A 15-minute video call, room by room. Most popular option.
✓Call us. 866-565-1516 speak with our friendly team.
✓Request a quote online. Send details and we’ll follow up.
✓Free in-person estimate. Available for homes with 2+ bedrooms.

Will my furniture be protected?

Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.

Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.

If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.

Are there items you can't move?

Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”

This includes:

•Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
•Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
•Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
•Living things, including plants, fish, and pets

We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.

Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.

Can you take down TVs and wall-mounted items?

Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.

Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:

✓Mounted TVs
✓Artwork and mirrors
✓Shelving
✓Window air conditioners

Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.

If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.

How much will my move cost?

Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.

✓Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
✓Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.

Do you provide moving supplies and equipment?

Yes. Every Poseidon Moving truck arrives fully stocked with the supplies and equipment your move may need.

✓Heavy-duty moving pads, stretch wrap, and tape
✓Dollies, hand trucks, straps, and floor protection
✓Basic tools for disassembly and reassembly

If you’re not fully packed by moving day, let us know before your move date and we’ll make sure the crew brings the packing supplies you need – boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, mirror boxes, and TV boxes.
