Moving from Los Angeles to San Francisco

Moving from LA to San Francisco is a big change. These cities are located in the same state, they are as different as they could be. If you are still deciding whether you should hire relocation experts or handle moving on your own, keep reading this article. When preparing for a long-distance move, it matters how smaller and fragile items are packed. It is also important to disassemble and protect the furniture the right way, and load the truck, so nothing gets damaged during the transportation. Moreover, it is a big challenge to navigate a fully-loaded truck in heavy Los Angeles traffic and in San Francisco with its steep streets. After a 6-7 hour drive, you would have to carefully unload the truck and reassemble the furniture. Headache! Before a long-distance relocation, people tend to have a lot on their minds trying to find a new home, make new arrangements, maybe even plan a going-away party. Why not hire a professional relocation company and focus on more important things? Nowadays, customers have a lot of ways to find relocation experts. First of all, it is always good to ask your family members, friends, and neighbors if they have any recommendations for you. If you are relocating because of work, then try to ask your co-workers and your boss. When you have 5-8 Los Angeles companies that you like, go on Yelp or Google and do your research. Check reviews and photos of businesses, send requests for quotes, or give companies a call. It is crucial that the company of your choice is licensed, insured, and bonded. Inexperienced movers can scratch your furniture when shifting it and not protect it well enough that will result in more damages during transportation. Very unpleasant, isn’t it? Also, you might consider scheduling a couple of in-person or online estimates. This will help you understand your budget and preferences.

What is the cost of moving from LA to San Francisco?

Prices such moves may vary depending on a lot of conditions:

• How much furniture is being moved?

  When planning your move, we advise you to create a list of everything that you would like to take to your new life and a list of items that you no longer need. This will help us estimate how big the truck should be, how much time the loading and unloading are going to take, and if we have to use any specific equipment during the relocation.

• Are packing services required?

  Some people do not have enough time or do not want to pack their own things into boxes prior to their move. Based in LA, our company provides full and partial packing services. As it was mentioned before, packing for a long-distance move takes time because every small and fragile items in boxes have to be properly protected to avoid any damage.

• Other conditions

  Elevator, stairs, narrow doorways/staircases, the length of the walking distance between your door and our truck, and other conditions that should be considered by a company when estimating the price for the move. Navigating heavy and bulky furniture through narrow staircases or doorways might be a complicated task for untrained movers but an easy one for MuraWay movers in LA.

Every relocation is absolutely unique. For example, the cost for moving a 1-bedroom home with an average amount of furniture, without stairs and elevators and the cost for moving a large 1-bedroom apartment on the 5th floor with a huge amount of furniture where packing services are required may vastly differ. We know how important it is for you to stay within your budget. We recommend our customers schedule in-person estimates when our representative comes to your home and creates an inventory list which will help us determine the price of your Los Angeles to San Francisco relocation. An online estimate is a good option as well, especially during the times of Covid-19. We request photos and videos of your apartment or a house or simply schedule a FaceTime call. After that, we provide our clients with our final quotes, create reservations, and send the required documentation. Here is a tip from us. If you would like to save some money on your Los Angeles to San Francisco relocation, we advise you to pack everything in advance. The advantage of packing on your own, besides paying less, is that you can donate or give away things that you no longer wish to have. Please remember that MuraWay Moving Company cannot be responsible for boxes and items inside of them packed by the owner. The main reason for that is that some people do not put a lot of effort into properly protecting fragile things like plates, drinking glasses, glass artwork, bottles of liqueur, and other items and randomly put stuff in the boxes. Scratches and dents are guaranteed in this case. This is why it is crucial to wrap every smaller item with packing paper and bubble wrap, and secure boxes with tape when preparing for Los Angeles to San Francisco relocation. However, if you decide to pack your belongings for your relocation from Los Angeles to San Francisco on your own, make sure not to pack jewelry, money, credit cards, documents, and other valuable items into boxes. We recommend transporting them in your own vehicle rather than in a truck. We know that your goal is to hire an affordable company and have a stress-free relocation from Los Angeles to a new home in San Francisco.
