East Bay House Moves

How We Plan a House Move

East Bay homes tend to come with big garages, patio sets and the occasional piano, so we build the crew around everything on the list, not just the bedroom count. Two movers are $160 an hour, bigger homes usually take a bigger crew, and every job has a 3-hour minimum.

Packing the house or just the kitchen Full or partial packing, with materials charged separately

Furniture apart and back together Beds, tables, desks and shelves reassembled in the right rooms

Heavy and delicate items Pianos, safes, stone tabletops and home gyms. See piano moving

Storage and clear-outs Part of the house to storage, donations set aside, everything else hauled away

Plan Ahead

What Affects Your House Moving Cost

Bedrooms, plus the garage and yard Garages are the most common move-day surprise. Count yours as a room

Heavy pieces A piano, safe or gym can change how many movers we send

Packing and storage Packing the house and splitting the load with storage add time and materials

Getting in and out Steep hillside driveways, long carries, or an apartment with elevator rules at the other end

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to move a house in Walnut Creek?

Our two-person crew is $160 an hour with a 3-hour minimum ($480). In our recent records, 2 and 3 bedroom house moves came to between $2,000 and $4,500. Jobs with a piano, storage, packing or a full clear-out landed near the top of that range.

Do you move townhomes, condos and smaller houses?

Yes. Townhomes, condos and 1 or 2 bedroom houses are part of our everyday work, along with 3 and 4 bedroom homes. Tell us the bedroom count and what is in the garage when you request a quote.

Can you bring my piano or gym equipment?

Yes. Recent house moves included a piano and a garage gym with a power rack. Mention heavy pieces when you call so we bring the right crew and gear.

Do you do house clear-outs?

Yes. We can pack, separate donations, haul off what is left and sweep the house. That is more than a standard move, so it gets its own quote.

Can part of my house go into storage?

Yes. Two recent house jobs on this page used storage: one whole house went into a storage unit, and one was split between a new apartment and storage.

Will you move me out of California?

No. We move anywhere within California, but not to other states.

Where do you move houses?

Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Orinda, Moraga, Pleasant Hill, Concord, Danville, San Ramon and the rest of the East Bay, plus the Peninsula and South Bay.
