BC Moving Labor Profile Image

It took us literally 3 days to load our 16ft storage container for our cross country move. Once the container arrived at our destination, it took 3 of these guys 1.5 hours to speedily and carefully unload our stuff both upstairs and downstairs, even navigating our floppy king mattress up without so much as scuffing the walls up. They’re very mindful about how the move things, which is great to see! We will definitely be reusing this service for our next move. Thanks BC Moving Labor!

Real Advice from Los Angeles Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Los Angeles. (They’re really nice!)

"Please make sure to contact your pick-up and drop-off administrations for guidance on any parking permits necessary during the move or POD placement, since the movers are not responsible for parking permits. Other than that, the general rule of thumb is to make sure the truck or a POD have enough parking space with a close access to the pick-up or drop-off facility."

V&V Moving Profile Image - V&V Moving

"If you live in a highly-populated area like downtown Los Angeles or Hollywood, it's always best to secure parking a day before your move to avoid long carry. Not only do some movers charge for long carry, but it will lengthen the time of your move and will consequently cost more than it should have."

Darper Moving Profile Image - Darper Moving

""Storage Etc." at 8111 Deering Ave., Canoga Park, CA 91304 has the best rates in the area."

Major Neighborhoods in Los Angeles

Los Angeles, known as the City of Angels, is a sprawling metropolis that our movers understand how to navigate — no matter how crowded the area is. Still scouting the city? LA, of course, is home to Hollywood, but there are also other unique landmarks and sights, including delightfully bizarre attractions like The Museum of Jurassic Technology, and mainstays like The Last Bookstore, one of the most famous independent bookstores in the world!

Westlake

Westlake, just north of DTLA, is anything but sleepy; it's a bustling hub! The main attraction? It's MacArthur Park, which has an incredible lake reflecting the whole LA skyline. The neighborhood's favorite highway, Wilshire Boulevard, is your ticket to DTLA or a beach day in Santa Monica. (Getting a moving truck through that area is our specialty!)

Since Westlake is where so much action happens, you might need professional moving advice for optimal loading and unloading times.

Boyle Heights

Boyle Heights is on the east side of the LA River, and is a foodie paradise with walls like a canvas for the city's history. (Check out the famous Mariachi Plaza on the weekends!) Since Boyle Heights is all about community, getting local moving professionals who are intimately familiar with where you’re moving in or out of is critical to a smooth move, and will go a long way towards eliminating any surprises.

Koreatown

Koreatown, or “K-Town LA," is not just the heart of the LA-Korean community, but is host to a full spectrum of cultures all living among its many neon-lit signs. Koreatown is located in the center of LA and is equipped with various transit options that make it convenient for travel. And like a lot of Los Angeles, its high-rise apartments will often come equipped with elevators (good), but can be narrow and difficult to get in and out of (bad). Booking movers early helps avoid heavy traffic, especially around Irolo Street and W 8th Street.

Lincoln Heights

Lincoln Heights is the OG suburban charmer of Los Angeles, with old-school charm stemming from its Victorian-era houses; it’s a vintage gem along the riverbank. You also can't talk about Lincoln Heights without mentioning the Los Angeles Historic State Park, or as locals call it, "The Cornfield." Lincoln Heights is currently experiencing a revitalization, so lots of movers in recent years have gotten intimately familiar with the area between the Pasadena Freeway and I-10. We’ll make sure your LA moving pros are among those most familiar with the area!

Franco and his team were excellent. On time, worked quickly, and literally made miracles happen navigating our furniture through the tight corners. I was resolved to get rid of our couch because it was too big for the doorway and somehow they made it fit with no damage whatsoever! I would definitely hire them again in the future and recommend them to anyone looking.

Bernard, Abraham, and Julio seriously blew my mind loading my storage unit into my moving truck. Not only did they work FAST, they were also masters of Tetris and packed my truck safe & sound. Thanks BC!!!

Great Team!!! Ivan and Carlos were courteous, clean and timely. They managed to get everything in our pod like total pros. After moving multiple times and having different movers, these folks were by far the best I've had!

Outstanding job! We requested the same crew that helped us pack (a month prior). It was great to have the same crew help us unpack into our new hope. We had a very pleasant experience with this crew being respectful, efficient and friendly. We even had some spare time to enjoy coffee with them. Thank you!

Excellent team! Jay was very professional, informed me of arrival times leading up to the move, and secured any special accommodation requests that were needed. Both Manny and Jose arrived on time, they were very courteous and unloaded my POD into a storage unit. I wasn't sure if everything would fit, but they made it HAPPEN! Great job, I would highly recommend Jay's Moving!

They were extremely efficient and proactive. They were early as they finished the previous job quick. Their employee diversity was a definite help as they could maneuver in various spaces and lift a variety of things. They were superbly hard workers. They always asked how they could help and were ready and careful with the items. I would highly recommend them.

These guys went above and beyond! They did an outstanding job. They were on time, professional, careful, and worked extremely hard the entire time. They loaded our two bedroom condo furniture and boxes in only two hours. We were very impressed. I highly recommend this company.

They were on time and they worked hard. They worked from the minute they got here and got done everything I wanted. It is unbelievable how well they packed the truck and the amount of stuff they got into the truck. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
