East Bay Apartment Moves

Moving a Studio, 1 or 2 Bedroom in the East Bay

Our most recent East Bay apartment job was a studio going from Walnut Creek to Concord, and it came to $702. Pricing is the same everywhere we work: $160 an hour for two movers and a 3-hour minimum ($480).

Padded and wrapped furniture Blankets and stretch wrap go on before anything leaves the room, so walls, doorframes and elevators stay clean too

Beds and tables broken down Frames, desks and tables come apart for tight stairs and go back together in the new apartment

Packing if you want it All of it, some of it, or none of it. See packing services.

Storage when leases do not line up Some of the load to storage, the rest to your new place, in one day

Plan Ahead

What Affects Your Apartment Moving Cost

Stairs, elevators and the carry to the truck Upper-floor walk-ups and long hallways add time at both buildings

How much is packed Boxes sealed and stacked near the door make for the fastest move

Miles between addresses Walnut Creek to Concord is a quick drive. Walnut Creek to the Peninsula takes a lot longer on 680 and the bridge

Building requirements Elevator bookings, move windows and insurance certificates are common in downtown buildings. Ask management early

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do apartment movers cost in Walnut Creek?

Our two-person crew is $160 an hour with a 3-hour minimum, so no job comes in under $480. Our most recent East Bay apartment job, a studio from Walnut Creek to Concord, came to $702. Across our recent local studio and 1 bedroom moves without storage, totals ran from $702 to $1,644.

Do you take studio and 1 bedroom moves?

Yes, they are a big part of what we do, along with 2 bedrooms. The 3-hour minimum applies to every job, including small apartments.

Can you work with walk-ups and elevator buildings?

Yes. Let us know about stairs, elevators and the distance from parking to your door at both addresses. If your complex needs an elevator reservation or a move-in window, reserve it for the date we confirm and we will plan the day around it.

Will you provide a certificate of insurance for my building?

Yes. Send the property manager's details and any required wording, such as additional insured status. We carry $2,000,000 in general liability per occurrence and workers compensation.

Can you take some of my things to storage?

Yes. Two of the recent apartment jobs listed here involved storage, one studio that went directly into a storage unit and one 1 bedroom with a storage stop on the way to San Francisco.

Do I have to pack before you arrive?

Up to you. Pack everything yourself, have us handle the kitchen and the last boxes, or have us pack the full apartment. Packing materials are charged separately.

What areas do you cover for apartment moves?

Walnut Creek, Concord, Pleasant Hill, Lafayette, Martinez, San Ramon and the rest of the East Bay, plus the Peninsula and South Bay. We only move within California.
