Woodland Hills Local Movers: from $99/hr for 2 movers

Keokuk Avenue Pickup

The client called us a few days ahead of time to book the move. They told us that the morning timetable would be busy, and the afternoon would work out best. We confirmed it and arranged the move.

Keokuk Avenue sat on the lower hillsides of De Soto Avenue. The client confirmed a private driveway where we could legally park and make a load. We chose our 18-foot box truck, the smallest of our fleet, as it would handle the narrow street and tight turns better than any other truck. There were a lot of ranch-style houses along the street built between the 1950s and the 1960s. We arrived in mid-afternoon, legally parked on our client's private driveway, set out the cones near the truck, and put the ramp down.

We laid the floor runners from the start to protect the floors. I took the bedroom first, where I saw the loveseat. I wrapped it in the moving blanket and carried it on a moving dolly through the garage, which the client had opened before our arrival. It greatly expedited our move since all items were carried out from the house to the truck using the garage.

Meanwhile, Kostya went to another bedroom where the client had already packed two nightstands and two mattresses. He brought out the mattresses on a dolly, one at a time, up the ramp and into the corner of the truck. The nightstands were stacked in the truck right after.

We wrapped two recliner chairs in moving blankets before they left the house and carried them right to the truck.

Alim went to the garage where he saw a fridge. We placed it on a moving dolly, wrapped in a moving blanket like anything else, and wheeled it out through the garage right to the truck.

The dresser and the stack of kitchen boxes were already packed and taped by the client. We stacked them into the truck last. Once everything was loaded, we put back the cones and drove away to Schoolcraft Street.

Schoolcraft Street Drop-off

Schoolcraft Street was a flat residential block lined with single-family homes from the 1960s and the 1970s. We arrived there and legally parked at the curb, where the client pointed. The fridge went first. We carefully carried it into the house, unwrapped it, and placed it in the kitchen, where the client pointed out the space.

Kostya carried a loveseat and two nightstands on a moving dolly right to the bedroom where the client wanted. We brought in two recliner chairs from the truck to the bedroom and placed them near the wardrobe.

Alim and Kostya moved two mattresses into the house right after on a moving dolly, fully wrapped. The client asked us to leave them in the bedroom unwrapped. A dresser and a stack of kitchen boxes were delivered to the house last.

The client was happy with our service, especially with how quickly we moved the items using the garage.

Oxnard Street Pickup

The client called Adept Moving a few days before the move. We were informed that they wanted to move from a townhome to a one-story home and that the morning time would work best for the pickup. We picked an 18-foot truck for that move and departed to our pickup in the morning.

It was a three-story private townhome in the gated community. Our pickup was on the second floor. We knew that every piece of furniture, every box, or appliance would come down the stairs by hand or on a moving dolly. The client confirmed a legal parking spot during our phone conversation. We parked legally alongside the building, set out the cones behind the truck, and put down the ramp.

I went to the kitchen first, where the client prioritized loading the kitchen appliances, such as an aerogrill and microwave oven. They were already packed by the client in the original cartons, so I wrapped them in the moving blankets on top. Then I carried them by hand down the flight of stairs, one at a time, and stacked them in the back of the truck. The cooler was loaded right away. Then Timofey helped me carry the fridge down the set of stairs right to the truck, also from the kitchen.

Afterwards, I returned to the kitchen and took apart the dining table into a tabletop and 4 legs. Everything was wrapped in the moving blankets, including the chairs. Timofey helped me carry down the disassembled table and chairs straight to the truck, down the flight of stairs to the ground floor like before. I moved out the wooden table on my second run. It was small enough, and it didn't need to be taken apart.

Timofey took the hall where the client had already packed six clothing wardrobe cartons. He moved them out on a dolly, down the stairs, past the walkway to the truck. A long walkway connected the stairs and the parking spot.

The client and Timofey did a quick walkthrough to figure out if anything was left behind. After successful confirmation, we drove to Penfield Avenue.

Penfield Avenue Drop-off

Penfield Avenue sat on a quiet residential tree-lined block south of Ventura Boulevard. The majority of the houses here were built between the 1940s and the 1960s. The client confirmed that we could legally hold the curb near the house. We lowered the liftgate and started to unload the items.

Timofey helped me carry the fridge to the kitchen. It was placed in the corner of the kitchen against the wall. Then Timofey returned for the microwave oven, a cooler, and an aerogrill. He left the appliances by the fridge. I did my part and brought in the dining table, which was reassembled right away in the kitchen with the tabletop first, and then the legs. The chairs were left near the table. Then we came back to the truck for the wardrobe cartons, which were wheeled in on the dolly and sorted room by room.

Then Timofey helped me carry the wooden coffee table to the bedroom, following the client's wish. It was unwrapped and came like a new piece without a single mark on it.

We put our guts into loading and unloading, and the client was delighted, especially with the pace we moved the items down the stairs at the pickup

Ventura Boulevard Pickup

The clients wanted to move from a ground-floor apartment in the four-story building on Ventura Boulevard to a single-family residence on Jumilla Avenue, not far from the pickup. They called us a couple of days ahead of time to place an order and specified the move details; namely, what was moving and a suitable timetable. It was confirmed that the morning was the best option for our clients.

We chose an 18-foot box truck from our fleet and came over to the pickup in the morning, just like they wanted. It was confirmed that we could legally occupy the curb near the building beforehand. The building itself had four stories with balconies on each floor, but the clients' apartment was on the ground level, so we didn't need the elevator or stairs. It was a truck-to-the-door carry.

We parked legally at the painted red curb, set out our cones behind the truck, and put down the ramp. I took the bedroom and started from the armchairs. I shrink-wrapped three armchairs to avoid dirt before they left the apartment. I used the materials the clients gave me. The clients had a lot of disposable supplies and materials that they bought the day before our arrival. I moved the three chairs on a moving dolly right to the truck and stacked them in the corner.

Ilya went to the hall where the clients pointed at the 24-inch iMac. They wanted to move it in its original carton. So, Ilya wrapped it in a moving blanket for extra protection. He moved it by hand, loaded it upright, and secured it against the truck wall. Then Ilya came back for Home Depot moving boxes and Amazon shipping boxes. The boxes had already been taped up by the client before we arrived. Most of them were small and medium moving boxes. He stacked them on the moving dolly, four or five at a time, and wheeled them out to the truck, following the painted red curb. I stayed up in the truck, arranging these boxes properly, so none of them would shift on the road.

We carried a sofabed and two nightstands last. Everything was wrapped in the moving blankets.

After we made a quick walkthrough with the clients and everything was loaded, we drove away to Jumilla Avenue.

Jumilla Avenue Drop-off

The drop-off was a single-family residence, located in College Acres, widely known as Candy Cane Lane among the locals. There were a lot of ranch-style single-story homes scattered along the street. They sat on much larger lots than what we had just come from. The clients confirmed that we could legally park at the curb.

I carried the iMac to the bedroom where the clients had cleared space. It was left on the table in its original Apple carton. Then I brought in two nightstands on my next trip.

Ilya carried the Home Depot moving boxes and Amazon shipping boxes on the dolly, four or five at a time, right to the closet like the clients wanted. Then we wheeled in a sofabed and three cushioned armchairs to another bedroom.
