Know What Type of Move You Need

Before you start contacting companies, determine the type of move you need:

• Local Move (within Moreno Valley or nearby cities)

• Long-Distance Move (across state lines or over 100 miles)

• Residential Move (house, apartment, condo)

• Commercial Move (office or business relocation)

• Specialty Move (furniture, pianos, antiques)

Each type requires a different level of service, expertise, and equipment.

 Check Credentials and Licensing

A reputable moving company in California should have:

• A valid license issued by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)

• Insurance coverage for both cargo and liability

• USDOT number for interstate moves

• Clear terms of service and transparent pricing

Don’t hesitate to ask for proof before booking.

 Read Reviews and Testimonials

Google, Yelp, and Trustpilot can provide insights into how a company treats its customers. Look for movers with:

• 4 stars or higher

• Consistent positive feedback about punctuality, professionalism, and care

• Quick, helpful responses to negative reviews

You want a team that values its reputation.

 Get a Written Estimate

Avoid vague or verbal-only quotes. A professional mover will offer:

• A free in-person or virtual estimate

• Transparent pricing with no hidden fees

• Details on hourly rates, flat rates, travel time, and additional services

Compare at least 2–3 estimates to ensure you’re getting fair value.
