We bill by the hour. Two movers are $150 an hour, three movers are $200, and four movers are $250. See our moving rates for the minimum, the deposit, and what comes with every move.

Being next door keeps El Cerrito moves lean. California law has movers double the drive time between your two addresses, and most El Cerrito moves are short drives. Travel from our Richmond warehouse to your first address costs you nothing. Stairs and long carries don't carry a surcharge. They just add time, and that time goes in your written quote.

It depends on what goes on the street. The City of El Cerrito requires an encroachment permit to keep a moving pod on the street, and the city asks for about one week to review it. A pod in your driveway usually avoids that. Either way, our crew handles PODS loading and unloading.

Parking is the other piece. Many blocks near El Cerrito Plaza and del Norte BART have posted four-hour limits on weekdays. You handle legal parking at both addresses, so we flag tight spots during the walkthrough and help you plan where the truck goes.
