Local Moves

Thousand Oaks Movers is bonded and insured company. Local moves are our specialty.

These are moves with a radius of under 100 miles. Our company has been helping residents and business customers of Southern California for many years.

Local moves are commonly charged by hourly rates. Hourly rates are dependent on the amount of workers involved in the job and number of trucks. Choosing the right team of movers is one of the most important tasks in controlling the cost of the relocation.

The final cost of the local moving service depends on various factors

Here is a list of moving teams and trucks commonly offered for different size moves:

2 movers and 1 (14'- 20') truck - Studio to Small 2 bedroom apartment or a partial move (no oversized items - which may require help of more than 2 men),
3 movers and 1 (24'-26') truck - 2 bedroom house to Small 4 bedroom house,
5 movers and 2 trucks - Large 4 bedroom house or larger.

These are just common ranges for average size households. However in our experience we have moved households that required help of up to 4 large trucks.

To make sure that customer gets an ultimate size team our estimators have state of the art moving software which allows specialists take room by room inventory of the items. It then calculates the size of the move in cubic feet. Next step after figuring the shipments size is getting other pertinent information regarding other extra services customer may require, such as:

Packing and/or unpacking boxes,
Flights of stairs, long walks from residence to truck,
Shuttle services (some of our customers live in the hills, homes inaccessible by full size trucks), require loading smaller (12'-14') truck or pick up trucks and transporting goods down to reload into the full size truck,
Crating of large fragile items (soft or wooden crates available),
Dis-assembly and reassembly of furniture,
Disconnecting and reconnecting appliances and electronics,
Hoisting of extra large items through windows or balconies,
Extra pick up or/and drop off locations,
Trash removal, etc.

Once this information is gathered the specialist and dispatch decide on the right team and the cost of the relocation. We strongly recommend for larger size moves (such as 3 bedroom residences or larger) to have a Free On Site estimate. Our specialist will observe the location and take detailed inventory and measurements of the items. This will help avoid moves that may require a help of more movers, multiple trips, and in some cases multiple day relocation. This inconveniences customers and breaks the schedule of the company and is unacceptable for reputable company!
