Moving services for Los Angeles homes and companies

The short answer

Elite Moving & Storage provides moving services across Los Angeles and Southern California for homes, estates, high-end collections, offices, corporate relocations and events, with storage between moves. Every service starts with a walkthrough and a written estimate, and our team plans the move through to final placement, so a house, an office or an event is handled to the same standard.

Services

Every move we plan

Homes, high-end collections, offices and events, each planned by our team from the first walkthrough to the last piece placed.

What is included

What every Elite move includes

  • A walkthrough first

    We see the home, office or venue before we quote it, in person or by video, and note every piece that needs special handling.

  • A written estimate

    An itemized inventory, any pieces to be crated and a price in writing, agreed before anyone lifts a box.

  • One written plan

    Our team works from one written plan, from the first call to the follow-up once you have settled in.

  • Custom crating available

    Art, stone, glass, mirrors and anything that should not ride in a carton can travel in a crate built to its size. The walkthrough notes which pieces need one.

  • Protection and placement

    Floors, doorways and elevators are protected at both ends, and everything is placed to plan before the debris leaves with the crew.

Moving services in Los Angeles for homes, companies and events

Elite Moving & Storage moves homes, estates, high-end collections, offices and events across Southern California. The services overlap by design. A house move, the storage between homes and the delivery back can run as one project under one plan, and a company can move its office and relocate an executive’s household on a single plan.

This short guide points you to the right place to start.

How to choose the right moving service

  • Moving a fine home. Start with white glove moving: a walkthrough, crating, protection, placement to plan, unpacking and debris removal.
  • Moving a large home, several homes or a household with staff. Estate moving adds staff coordination, a photographed inventory and a schedule built around closings and renovations.
  • Moving a business. Office and commercial moving covers offices, showrooms and studios, planned around building rules and working hours.
  • Relocating an executive. Corporate and executive relocation moves a new hire’s or transferring executive’s household, with the company as the client and the family as the priority.
  • Moving an event, set or production. Event and production moves carry furniture, decor and equipment for private events, brand activations and shoots, on the event’s load-in and strike schedule.
  • Exhibiting at a trade show. Trade show and exhibit logistics moves exhibit freight to venues such as the LA Convention Center and the Anaheim Convention Center.
  • Moving art or antiques. Fine art moving crates and moves paintings, sculpture and antiques on their own schedule, and art installation hangs and places them in the new space.
  • Storing between homes or during a remodel. Moving and storage packs and picks up, holds your belongings for as long as you need, and delivers them back to the finished rooms.
  • Leaving Southern California. Long distance moving plans moves beyond the region.

The same standard, adapted to each move

Every move gets a walkthrough and a written estimate, with custom crating available for the pieces that need it. What changes is what the walkthrough looks for:

  • In a home, the route from each room to the truck, the pieces that need a crate, gate and HOA rules, and where a truck can stand.
  • In an office, the loading dock, freight elevator reservations, the certificate of insurance the building requires and when the team can be without desks.
  • At an event or venue, the load-in route, the venue’s rules and the time between access and doors.

Full-service movers in Los Angeles, with the finish included

Full-service movers pack, load, drive and unload. In Southern California, doing that well depends on access as much as on lifting:

  • Hillside homes in the canyons and the Hollywood Hills often sit on streets a full-size truck cannot reach, so loads are shuttled to it.
  • Gated communities and HOAs set move hours and ask for crews and vehicles to be registered at the gate.
  • High-rise buildings reserve freight elevators in set time windows and ask for a certificate of insurance before the move.
  • Street parking for a truck may need a temporary permit from the city.

Every Elite home and office move plans for these at the walkthrough, then adds the finish that full service usually leaves out: placement to a floor plan, unpacking, debris removal and a follow-up call once you have settled in. For how that compares with white glove service, see what white glove moving means.

How it works

Six steps, planned in writing

See the full process
  1. 01

    Private walkthrough

    We walk the home or office with you, in person or by video, and note every piece that needs special handling.

  2. 02

    Written inventory and plan

    You receive an itemized inventory, a crating list for art and fragile pieces, a crew and truck plan, and a written estimate.

  3. 03

    Building and HOA coordination

    We handle certificates of insurance, loading dock and elevator reservations, gate access and any street parking permits the move needs.

  4. 04

    Protection and packing

    Floors, doorways and railings are protected first. Furniture is wrapped, fragile pieces are packed with the right materials, crates are built for pieces that need them, and every box is labeled by room.

  5. 05

    Placement to plan

    Furniture is placed to your floor plan, beds are assembled, art is staged by the wall it belongs on, and packing debris leaves with the crew.

  6. 06

    Follow-up

    We check in once you have settled, to handle anything that needs adjusting, hanging or returning to storage.

Questions

Moving services questions, answered

What moving services does Elite Moving & Storage offer?

Elite Moving & Storage offers white glove and estate moving for homes, office and commercial moving, corporate and executive relocation, event and production moves, trade show and exhibit logistics, fine art moving and art installation, storage, and long distance moves. Every service is available across Southern California and follows the same process: a walkthrough, a written estimate and placement to plan.

Do you move both homes and offices?

Yes. Homes and businesses follow the same process, so a family's house and its company's office can be moved to one standard. Home moves are planned around the household, gate access and HOA or building rules. Office moves are planned around working hours, loading docks, freight elevator reservations and the certificate of insurance the building requires, often after hours or over a weekend.

Can one company handle both moving and storage?

Yes, and for a move between homes or around a remodel it is usually simpler. The same company packs and picks up, records what goes into storage, holds it for as long as you need, then delivers it to the new rooms and places it to plan. You deal with one inventory, one written agreement and one company from the first carton to the last.

What do full-service movers in Los Angeles include?

Full-service movers pack, load, transport and unload, so you do not lift or wrap anything. In Los Angeles the plan also has to cover access: hillside streets where a full-size truck cannot reach the door and loads are shuttled, gated communities with move hours, high-rise elevator reservations, and street parking that may need a city permit. A good full-service quote accounts for all of it after a walkthrough.

How much does it cost to move a 3,000 square foot house in Los Angeles?

A white glove local move for a home of about 3,000 square feet, typically three to four bedrooms, usually falls between $7,500 and $18,000 in Southern California. Full packing, crated art and mirrors, hillside or long-carry access, and storage move the number most. A standard move without crating or unpacking costs less. Every quote follows a walkthrough.

What happens at a moving walkthrough, and what should I have ready?

A walkthrough is the visit, in person or by video, where the mover sees everything that is moving and how it will leave the building. Have the move dates, the new floor plan, a list of what stays or goes to storage, gate and building rules at both ends, and any pieces that need crating, such as art, stone, pianos or wine. The written estimate is built from it.
