Santa Monica is where our trucks sleep, and its housing keeps a mover honest: mid-century courtyard buildings with no elevator and narrow stair turns, Ocean Avenue towers with reservable freight lifts, Craftsman houses north of Montana with deep setbacks, and new builds downtown with strict garage clearances. Each one is a different move — and we've done them all within blocks of the office.
Parking is half the craft here. West of Lincoln nearly every block is permit-only; we arrange the city's temporary no-parking signs when a job needs the truck at the door, and we know which alleys actually pass a 26-foot box.

Questions
Do you cover all of Santa Monica?
All of it — Ocean Park, Sunset Park, the Pico District, Mid-City, Wilshire-Montana, North of Montana, and downtown, for moves within the city or anywhere across greater LA.
Can you arrange parking for the truck?
Yes. On permit-only streets we arrange City of Santa Monica temporary no-parking signs in advance — a truck at the door can save an hour of carry time.
When should I book a Santa Monica move?
Leases here turn over on the 1st, so month-end weekends fill first. One to two weeks ahead is comfortable; weekdays are the easy dates.
