Local Movers in Chatsworth: Get a Two-Mover Crew from $99/hr

Pickup at the East Side of Chatsworth

We got a call from the client a couple of days before the move. He asked to arrive in the morning. We discussed the details and got to know the area was locked with a pedestrian gate. That's why we had to approach the property from a separate driveway.

We started the load by taking care of the floors. We used our floor runners to protect them. Then the client showed me the living room, where I saw 2 armchairs and a sofa. I wrapped the armchairs in our moving blankets. But the sofa needed to be taken apart, so Garik began the process while I loaded the armchairs on a dolly for Zhenya to move both to the truck outside. When I was done with the armchairs, I began to wrap elements of the sofa using our moving blankets. For double protection, we used the stretch wrap that was separately billed. Zhenya was back with the dolly, so we put parts of the sofa on it and rolled them out.

The kitchen was next. The owner unplugged all the appliances, so I wrapped each using our moving blankets. I carried out the microwave and coffee machine by hand. Then Zhenya helped me place the fridge on the dolly and take it to the truck.

8 wardrobe cartons of hanging clothes were waiting for us in the bedroom on the second floor. We took each down the stairs and loaded the dolly. Garik moved them to the truck. Meanwhile, Zhenya covered both nightstands with our moving blankets. Garik helped him carry each piece down and place it on the dolly.

It was time to move the king-size mattress. The client packed it, so Zhenya and I just lifted it down together. The 4 sofa cushions in the living room were also waiting their turn. I wrapped them individually in stretch wrap, which we then added as a separate bill line, and moved all 4 to the truck.

Finally, we packed the PlayStation console. The client previously disconnected the gadget. We had to transport it in an original box. But first, we wrapped it in bubble wrap that the client paid for separately. It went last onto the truck. Thus, it would come off the truck first at the new place, so the client would make sure everything was OK with it. Once everything was loaded, we went to the drop-off spot.

Drop-off at the De Soto Ave corridor

There was no heavy traffic in the street on the east side of Chatsworth. And it turned out to be wide enough. The parking went well since there was a straight driveway long enough to stage a 26-foot moving truck. Since it was a standard open single-family lot with direct street access, we could park pretty fast.

First, I took the PlayStation console and carried it to the living room, where I left it unwrapped on the table. Garik and Zhenya unloaded the sofa cushions, left unwrapped next to the window in the living room, and brought the mattress to the bedroom. There was a new bed waiting for it, so my colleagues unwrapped it and placed it on the frame. The nightstands were brought to the bedroom and left where the client showed the place.

We also wheeled the armchairs into the living room. Then we got back to the truck for the sofa parts that we then assembled in the living room. Next, all 8 wardrobe cartons went to the bedroom. The kitchen appliances were left in the kitchen. The client was pleased with how everything was done.

Larian Way Pickup

Morning arrival. 18-foot moving truck.

The client contacted us three weeks before the move, which gave us time to plan properly.

The loading zone was reserved, so we began the load straight away.

The client took us to the second floor and asked us to start with the bedroom, where we found a single bed and 2 nightstands. The nightstands were already packed by the client, so first we placed our floor runners and then loaded the dolly and moved them outside.

While Garik disassembled the bed, I packed cacti in the client's boxes and carried them to the truck. When I was back, I helped Garik finish taking the bed apart, and we wrapped each piece in our moving blankets.

Done with the bed, it was time to take care of the cat's house. I wrapped it in a moving blanket and loaded it onto the truck.

Next up was the framed mirror in the living room. To extra-protect it, we used bubble wrap, which is billed separately as a packing material. Meanwhile, the client packed her clothes into our wardrobe cartons. We carried the wardrobe cartons to the truck and placed them carefully so they wouldn't crush the boxes with the cacti.

A sofa with a pull-out bed was wrapped in moving blankets, and Garik helped me move it to the elevator and right to the truck. We came back for the 75-inch TV and TV stand. The TV went into its original box, which we wrapped in our moving blanket. We wrapped the TV stand the same way. We loaded the stand first and the TV last, so the TV would be the first thing off the truck at the drop-off.

Vista Grande Way Drop-off

The drop-off point was a 2-story single-family house in a green suburban neighborhood. The client wanted to live close to nature, and since Wilbur-Tampa Park was just next door, it was easy to understand why she chose that place.

We parked at the curb in front of the house. Together with Garik, we took the TV, carried it to the living room, and came back for the TV stand. 3 wardrobe cartons came next. The client unpacked each, so we could take the empty cartons back with us.

The mirror went into the bedroom. After checking it together with the client, we didn't find any scratches. We brought the cat's house and unpacked it in the living room, right where the client wanted it.

Then came the bed. We reassembled it in the bedroom and placed it so there was enough space for the two nightstands, which we brought in and placed on either side.

I brought the box with cacti and left it in the kitchen, where the client arranged them on the windowsill. I helped Garik with the sofa. We placed it in the middle of the living room and removed the wrapping.

The job was done. We said goodbye to the client and her cat and went back to the office.

We Started at Lassen Street

The client worked during the day, so he asked us to arrive early in the morning. He mentioned that parking wouldn't be a problem, and we discussed the list of items that he had to move and agreed on the arrival time.

We picked a 26-foot moving truck based on the inventory. As the client mentioned, there was plenty of room to park legally. So, we set a cone next to the liftgate to be able to roll the dolly on and off safely.

The client asked us to take care of the outdoor items first. We wrapped two outdoor sofas in moving blankets and loaded them first. The umbrellas went to the truck just like that, without any wrapping.

The king-size bed in the bedroom was Alex's job. Before that, he laid down the floor runners for floor protection. After finishing with the umbrellas, I went there to help him disassemble the bed. We used our moving blankets to protect each part. Alik joined us after carrying the pouf to the truck. Using the dolly, we brought the bed parts out and loaded them.

Alik and Alex went back to the bedroom to take care of the two nightstands, which they wrapped with our moving blankets to avoid scratches because the nightstands were vintage. Alex also moved all 7 wardrobe cartons on the dolly while we carried the desk previously protected with our moving blankets.

Next, the client showed me where the den was. There, I saw a stack of boxes filled with vinyl records. I took them out while Alik was wrapping the armchairs in our moving blankets. He also added a layer of stretch wrap, which was separately billed. We helped him put each armchair on a dolly and wheel it out to the truck.

Next Stop: Candice Pl

At the drop-off, we saw the 2-story single-family home in the foothills of the Santa Susana Mountains. It was a quiet two-lane residential road with an unpainted curb, so regular curb parking was allowed. We parked and began the unloading.

Armchairs went to the living room on the first floor, where we unwrapped them and placed them next to the window. Alik also brought the boxes of vinyl records there. The client said he'd find the best spot for them later, so we left the boxes unopened.

7 wardrobe cartons were delivered to the second floor, to both bedrooms. Each nightstand went into a separate bedroom, where we unwrapped them. Alex helped me bring the parts of the bed to the smaller bedroom, where he and Alik put it back together. Meanwhile, I got the pouf to the living room and went back to the truck to unload the umbrellas. The client showed me the pool in the backyard, where I placed the umbrellas.

Alik came to help with the two outdoor sofas, which we set up next to the umbrellas. Alex brought the desk to the home office.

The client walked us to the truck and thanked us for everything.
