In line with industry regulations and also our Worker's Compensation requirements, movers in Sherman Oaks and Los Angeles County must refrain from disconnecting/connecting household appliances for health & safety reasons - a qualified technician is advised to disconnect washers, dryers, and cookers in advance of the move. In the case of wall-mounted TVs, we are happy to assist with removal at the pick-up address. At the destination address, crews are not permitted to drill walls for any purpose in case hidden electrical wires are present. Again, a qualified technician, electrician, plumber, or handyman is suggested for all these specialized tasks.

Each of our trucks includes a set of essential tools for assembling/disassembling items such as beds, dresser mirrors, and dining room tables, and our movers are happy to assist in their use. Please note that we provide assembly/disassembly services as a courtesy; movers are not specially trained for advanced assembly/disassembly and might not be able to provide this service for some specific items. If you have any questions regarding a particular furniture item please contact us.

Every employee is experienced, insured, and background-checked. When you hire a moving company in Sherman Oaks and Los Angeles County with workers' compensation, any employee of the company that is injured on the job while moving your items will turn to the workers' compensation insurance policy to pay for medical costs and lost wages, as opposed to going after you. In this way, our customers can be sure they are served and protected legally.

In terms of protecting your furniture and larger items, we bring unlimited shrink wrap, packing tape, moving blankets, TV boxes, and wardrobe boxes - all free of charge (for the duration of the move). We wrap all upholstered furniture parts in plastic wrap. This clingy, tear-resistant material protects furniture and other items while in transit. It’s also a great way to keep furniture clean and stay together (mattresses, sofa, dressers, etc.). Another protective covering often used when moving furniture are moving blankets. These blankets are thick and will protect not only your furniture when moving but your walls and floor as well. Our moving trucks in Sherman Oaks are fully equipped with all packing supplies and moving equipment to protect and relocate your belongings safely: dollies, straps, moving blankets, bubble wrap, plastic wrap, tools, and much more.

While every move is unique, it’s still possible to estimate moving times. National average: 1 Bedroom Apartment = 3 - 5 hours 2-3 Bedroom Condo = 4 - 8 hours 2-3 Bedroom House = 6 - 9 hours 4-5 Bedroom House = 8 - 12 hours Remember that these are average estimates, and they can be only used as a thinking tool. You can decrease the moving time by packing your items in advance and having the boxes organized and ready to go. Relocation time is also affected by the distance between the pickup site and final destination, walking distance between the front door and truck parking, size of the crew, traffic conditions, extra packing services for the smaller items, furniture assembly/disassembly, etc.

Moving experts recognize that people like knowing the cost upfront since it helps for budgeting. Per customers' request Trek Movers in Los Angeles provides both options for all local and long-distance moves: a) Competitive all-inclusive hourly rates b) No-ambiguity flat rate based on complete details The advantage of the flat price is there is no ambiguity. The advantage of the hourly rate is it could be lower than the flat price (but also higher). As moving is not an exact science, it's really tricky to be absolutely certain, so we try to give the customer as many tools and options as possible. Essentially, we will move you as safely and as efficiently as possible, and we are completely open regarding which pricing framework you prefer.

If time/budget is your main priority, then pre-packing small, loose miscellaneous items by yourself is recommended to minimize your moving costs for a local moving (time and packing materials). If convenience is your main priority, then the crew will be happy to provide a full packing service for the smaller items (kitchen, artwork, books, personal items, etc.), and your truck will be stocked accordingly with all required packing materials (reusable and non-reusable).

As the resident of a property, the customer always has more control over parking provision than anyone else. The crew can only work with what they find on moving day. Pre-arranging a dedicated space for your truck – as close as possible to the access point where our movers will be working – usually represents a significant saving in terms of time and cost. We, therefore, encourage all customers to apply for a moving parking permit from your local city hall (or multiple ones for different locations). Different cities have different permit guidelines/costs which can usually be found online. Prior to moving day, the city will post temporary ‘No Parking’ signs at your desired location, reserving adequate space for your moving truck (about 3 car lengths) as close as possible to your preferred loading/unloading points. As a result, time and cost are kept to an absolute minimum.

As a carrier industry, our local moving services in Sherman Oaks and Los Angeles County are surprisingly similar to the airlines in the sense that – they too – need to have their fleet spread across different locations in order to provide timely service at short notice. We have several locations in different areas in order to minimize drive time in-between local moves. This is why we are happy to provide local and long-distance moving service for the greater Los Angeles conurbation, San Jose, Silicon Valley, and all Bay Area Region, Ventura County, Orange County, San Bernardino County, Riverside County.

Items that should not be included in the household goods shipment include hazardous materials such as poisons, corrosives, fuels, and flammables, as well as perishables such as refrigerated/frozen foods. To protect the health and safety of everyone involved when moving in Sherman Oaks and Los Angeles County, we will also decline to move anything we consider to be unsanitary. For items of exceptional weight (such as a piano, pool table, jacuzzi, aquarium, or safe), we suggest a better fit might be a heavy-lifting moving company that typically uses specialist hydraulic equipment. As we mostly use raw manpower, our weight limitations are restricted to 300-350 pounds which are ordinarily associated with regular household items. All non-allowable items are prohibited by law.

We recommend keeping with you all the things you or your family might need on your moving day. Common items include a change of clothes, phone chargers, snacks, personal hygiene items, daily medications, and your kids’ favorite toys. Additionally any important documentation/paperwork (passports, birth certificates, bank account information and social security cards), as well as anything of high sentimental or economic value (cash, credit cards, art, jewelry, antiques, family heirlooms), must be transported separately from the moving truck.

The sooner, the better. There is absolutely nothing to lose in a provisional reservation for the moving services in Los Angeles with Trek. Even if your move date is uncertain or in escrow, we are happy to pencil in a date, thereby removing the worry of securing your most preferred slot. You can reschedule at any time, depending on availability at that time. Some move days are much busier than others – especially weekends, mid-month, and month-end dates. These peak periods tend to become fully booked around 3-4 weeks ahead, so it’s best to plan early. Even if you eventually choose not to book with us, our free move summary provides extremely useful information to use when shopping-around with other companies.
