Irwindale Local Moving, Priced by the Hour
Michelle's crew has hauled enough Covina bungalow furniture and Baldwin Park apartment loads to size a truck from the address alone.
- Written before Marcus books the truck
- Payroll crew, our own trucks
- California DMV Household Goods Carrier permit on file
Start your estimate
Linda can often quote it from your description alone.
A local move should be priced the way it’s worked — by the hour, with a crew that already knows the difference between a Foothill Blvd Craftsman bungalow and a West Covina tract home. Michelle Wong runs that side of the business.
Hourly Pricing, No Surprises
| Crew | Rate |
|---|---|
| 2 movers | $165/hr |
| 3 movers | $215/hr |
| 4 movers | $265/hr |
A $175 refundable booking deposit holds your date — it comes back to you once the move is done.
Built for Craftsman Bungalows and 1960s-70s Tract Homes
The housing stock across Irwindale, Azusa, and Duarte runs older — narrow hallways in a Craftsman bungalow, a garage stacked to the rafters in a tract home from the Baby Boom years. Michelle’s crew sizes the truck and the team around what they’re actually going to find at the door, not a generic square-footage guess.
What a Local Move Day Looks Like
- Crew arrives in the confirmed window with furniture pads, dollies, and shrink wrap already loaded
- Walkthrough at the door to confirm crew size before the clock starts
- Hourly clock runs truck-to-truck, not house-to-house
- Text update from dispatch when the crew is en route
Most 2-bedroom bungalow moves across Irwindale and Azusa run 3-4 hours with a 3-person crew — ask Linda for a time estimate based on your inventory when you book.
Bundled in, not billed separately

Laura M

Have used before and always pleased, great team of people. Moves are stressful, so it matters!
Keith Volanto
Irwindale · Local move · Google
Cam, Jordan, Hiram, and David did an excellent job! They were punctual, polite, and went above and beyond to get all our stuff to where in the new house everything needed to go. Nothing was broken and they worked together as a team to get a very bulky armoire upstairs.
The rest of the lineup
Need a different kind of move?
Same Irwindale crew handles all of these across San Gabriel Valley, not a separate subcontractor per service.
Long-Distance Moving
Danny runs the same truck all the way to Vegas or Phoenix — nobody hands your boxes off to a stranger halfway there.
Residential Moving
A Craftsman bungalow off Foothill Blvd and a West Covina two-story get the same careful crew, different equipment.
Apartment & Condo Moving
We know which Covina and Baldwin Park complexes need a certificate of insurance before the freight elevator opens.
Full-Service Packing
Nobody has a free weekend to box a whole kitchen — give Linda a date and Michelle's crew has it done before the truck backs in.
Piano Moving
An upright and a baby grand don't move the same way, so Danny wants to know which one you own before he puts a number on the stairs.
Safe & Gun-Safe Moving
Floor safes and gun safes don't come loose with a dolly and good intentions — Danny's crew brings the straps and the rigging plan first.
Questions that come up on this job
Answered before you have to ask twice
How does hourly billing actually work?
The clock starts when the crew arrives and stops when the truck is unloaded at your new place — travel between the two addresses is billed at the same hourly rate, with no separate flat fee stacked on top.
Is there a minimum number of hours?
Yes, most local jobs book a minimum block — ask Linda when you call, since it depends on crew size and your move date.
How many movers do I actually need?
A studio or 1-bedroom usually runs fine with 2 movers at $165/hr. A 3-bedroom tract home in West Covina or Covina typically needs 3 to 4. Tell us your home size and Michelle's team will recommend a crew.
Is the $175 deposit refundable?
Yes — it holds your date and is refunded once the move is complete.
Can you move me the same week?
Often, yes. Call (888) 278-9005 and Linda will check the schedule.
