Local notes
What a Chula Vista move is really like
Chula Vista is the opposite problem to North Park: plenty of space to park, plenty of volume to carry. Eastlake and Otay Ranch homes routinely run 1,200 to 1,800 cubic feet once the garage is counted, and the walk from a gated visitor bay to a front door can trigger a long carry.

Access
The four things we plan for in Chula Vista
Gated communities
Visitor parking bays in Otay Ranch can sit 100 ft or more from the door. That is a long carry unless we can get a gate code for the resident lane.
Two storeys
Nearly all Eastlake tract homes are two storey with an interior turn at the landing. Large sofas and king boxes need measuring.
Heat
Inland summer afternoons pass 95 degrees. We push Chula Vista starts to 7:00 am from June through September.

Reviews
What neighbours said
Two packers cleared our kitchen and dining room in a day. Every dish pack had dividers. We unpacked 300 pieces of china without a single chip.

Stair carry
Every flight above the first at either address
$75 per flight
A flight is one full storey, counted from the truck to the door. A split-level entry with seven steps is not a flight. Walk-ups in North Park and Golden Hill are where this shows up most, so we photograph the stairwell during the survey and write the number on the estimate before move day.
EL
Elevator carry
Any tower move without direct truck-to-door access
$90 flat
Covers padding the cab, the certificate of insurance your HOA asks for, and the extra walking. Book the freight elevator yourself and send us the reserved window; most downtown buildings only release 8:00 am to 12:00 pm or 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
LC
Long carry
More than 75 feet from the tailgate to your door
$85 per 50 ft increment
Measured on the walking path, not in a straight line. Gated Eastlake communities and beach alleys are the usual culprits. If you can reserve two street spaces with cones the morning of the move, the long carry often disappears entirely.
SH
Shuttle service
A 26 ft truck physically cannot reach the address
$250 to $450
We park the box truck legally nearby and ferry the load in a cargo van. Low-clearance garages, the narrow lanes above La Jolla Shores and some hillside cul-de-sacs need this. We tell you at the survey, never on the day.
BA
Bulky article handling
Items over 300 lb or needing rigging
Piano $275 · gun safe over 600 lb $325 · treadmill $95
Bulky articles get a four-wheel piano dolly or a stair-climbing hand truck, a second lead and their own line on the inventory. Hot tubs, slate pool tables and anything needing a crane are quoted separately after a site visit.
AP
Appliance service
Disconnect or reconnect of washer, dryer, fridge or range
$65 per unit
We handle water lines and dryer vents. Gas lines are capped and reopened by a licensed plumber, not by movers, which is a California requirement and not a policy we can waive.
Local moves are hourly. Two movers and a 16 ft truck start at a sample $149 per hour with a two-hour minimum, and the access notes on this page are the main thing that changes the number of hours. A twenty-minute survey turns that into a written estimate.
No. Chula Vista is 28 minutes from the yard and sits inside our standard band. You pay for the time between your two addresses only.
Garages. The garage is usually a third of the cube. Photograph the shelving during the survey or the estimate will be light.
Three weeks off-season, six to eight weeks from June through September, and longer for the last weekend of a summer month, which is the busiest weekend in the industry.
Same-day moves
Lease fell through on a Tuesday?
We hold two crews back every weekday for same-day and next-day work. Call before 11:00 am and there is a good chance we can be at your door by two.
Same-day slots are first come, first served and depend on the board.
