I could not have asked for a smoother move. Last year my husband passed, this year my job closed. It is time for a new chapter in a new state (because California has priced me out, unfortunately) and LAP Movers made it such an easy process. They were literally THOUSANDS of dollars cheaper than some of the other guys and worked with my schedule, even when it changed at the last minute. Octavio was patient with the ball of anxiety that is my natural state, and on the day, Luis and his partner were on time, professional and walked me through everything clearly and concisely. Wonderful company, wonderful guys. Goodbye Los Angeles, Hello New Orleans, and thank you LAP for starting this new adventure drama-free!

LAP movers were used on behalf Royal Canadian Van Lines. They packed very quickly. I paid for packing services and they overfilled boxes causing them to fall apart by delivery. They didn't repack boxes I had put stuff in temporarily which were not good enough for moving. I had all my items sorted in a room for packing. The labelling was terrible and they mixed random things into boxes where ever they fit, I can't find where things are without going through 30+ boxes. They were not clear about the long hallway fee ahead of time. They did communicate their arrival date ahead of time, but it was a day ahead of the window I requested. Royal Canadian Van lines movers were frustrated by the heavy boxes.

Wow, these guys are efficient and professional. They told me it would be 4 hours to move a storage shed to my house. It look them less than an hour to get everything pack and ready to roll. They met me at the house and it took them less than 25 minutes to roll it all out. I did not want it out in the house until it gets deep cleaned from storage.10 stars🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

These guys are the best! Competitive pricing. Expert movers. When I tell you they didn't so much as bump a wall on the move out or move in--I'm not even exaggerating. Fast. Efficient. Friendly. Communicative. They moved me out of state and within days my property arrived safely. Every last piece. They also moved a baby grand piano for me...and had the expertise and experience to move such a valuable antique. Highly recommend.

Moving is stressful. The last thing you need is to hire a bad moving company.I had a Great experience with LAP Movers.After seeing hundreds of positive reviews,I called and left them a message.Jose responded back immediately by text and then phone. Throughout the process he patiently answered my laundry list of questions. He made me feel comfortable that I had made the right choice.The cost was fair and actually less than most, especially since they supply tape and loan wardrobe boxes at no extra charge.The movers showed up 10 minutes early on the scheduled date. They carefully checked the boxes I packed, and added tape (free with move) and plastic wrap ( that I supplied), as needed. They took down the TV's and shelves, securely... taping all the screws and bolts to the items, (which was a lifesaver when reinstalling at the destination.) They worked with me in sorting the items going to storage, and those going to the new house.They finished loading right on time.Not one item was scratched or damaged in any way.The only hiccup was their GPS routed them on a road with construction, causing a 20 minute delivery delay.The Manager adjusted the travel charge without issue.I Highly reccomend LAP!👍👍read more

Was seeking a specialized mover that could handle my heavy kitchen appliance (over 600 lbs!) move request and came across LAP. They were quick in responding and I was able to book them the same day. They were equipped with with all the proper tools and ramps making the job look easy. I’m told they move heavy odds/ends, appliances, pianos, safes etc all the time. Not only did their experience and professionalism show, they were careful to ensure my high-end appliance and floors were not damaged. Shout out to Jose and David for taking care of me!

Actually, went with this company twice in one week. First was because I knew I needed help with the refrigerator, washer and dryer, if the VA could be believed, I should have been able to get the rest myself. But after the wonderful experience I had the first time, they were so professional and respectful, it was amazing. The second time they showed up, it was not that I hired a great crew, but they made me feel that I had friends that were helping me. It is just that sometimes the echoes of Afghanistan makes it so that I can not get out of bed in the morning and this company was there for me, thanks!

I used this company for my move and junk removal. I realized I accidently left my expensive pair of airpods in a box that was in the junk pile. I called them and they immediately picked up, facetimed me and went through every pile of junk. They found them and offered to mail them to me. They were very friendly, efficient, on time and more importantly, trust worthy. Highly recommend!

Los Angeles Moving Company

Moving for the First Time?

Moving can be one of life’s most challenging events, and it’s best to start with clear and precise planning. The journey to a new home begins with obtaining a moving quote. This step involves a moving company assessing the cost based on the size and type of your possessions. Once the quote is agreed upon, they will assign a moving coordinator to oversee the smooth execution of the move. An Order of Service is provided, detailing the services, their costs, and scheduled dates. On the day of the move, skilled movers meticulously load your belongings, ensuring their safe transport.

After the move, you will receive a Bill of Lading that serves as a detailed receipt. This receipt includes information such as delivery dates and locations. Upon unloading, each item will be checked against the Bill of Lading. Finally, there will be a review of all items with the team leader to confirm that everything is in order. Keeping the Bill of Lading safe until the final review is completed is important. This document is crucial as it helps to track and verify the delivery process.

What Are the Costs Associated With a Los Angeles Move?

In Los Angeles, moving costs vary depending on distance, amount of items, and level of service needed. Moving companies typically offer free estimates to gauge these costs accurately, taking into account the specifics of the move. This process helps customers receive a fair and precise quote tailored to their needs. According to Movebuddha, “The typical cost for hiring movers in Los Angeles, CA is $100 per hour with a total move cost ranging from $326 to $3,258, on average. If you’re moving out of California, the cost of hiring long-distance movers in Los Angeles really depends on where you’re moving.”

LAP Movers is committed to providing accurate and transparent pricing. “By conducting detailed assessments, we ensure our quotes fully reflect the scope of your move, offering clarity and confidence to our customers,” Luis Almaraz, co-founder of LAP Movers, emphasizes. Our pricing strategy ensures no surprise costs, providing a clear understanding of moving expenses in Los Angeles.

Are Comprehensive Quotes Covering All Expenses and Services Provided by Moving Companies?

Comprehensive quotes are essential for a smooth moving process. They should cover all potential expenses and services, allowing for accurate budgeting. Reputable moving companies conduct in-depth surveys of your home to provide a tailored quote, ensuring you understand all costs involved in your move. Forbes explains, “It’s fairly easy to get an online moving quote, but you have to know where to start. First, check to see if the moving company has a website. Smaller companies may complete moving quotes over email, phone or in person.”

At LAP Movers, we pride ourselves on our meticulous quoting process. Our team offers free personalized moving quotes with no commitment, designed to fit your specific needs. “We believe in being completely transparent with our prices. Our quotes are thorough and include all details of your move,” says co-founder Luis Almaraz. We give clear estimates to help customers plan moves without worrying about unexpected costs.

Is It Common for Moving Companies to Offer Both Local and Long-Distance Moves?

Yes, the majority of moving companies assist with both local moves within the same state and long-distance moves that cross state lines. Having different services available is useful, depending on the distance of the move. Some moving companies do not offer long-distance moves to all locations in the country. It’s important to check with the moving company ahead of time to ensure they can handle your long-distance move, which will make the relocation process smoother and more successful.. Some moving companies have limits on how far they can go. Ensure your chosen company can take you where you want to go before hiring them.

LAP Movers specializes in both types of moves. “Our expertise in navigating local and long-distance moves allows us to provide a seamless moving experience, regardless of the distance,” co-founder Luis Almaraz notes. LAP Movers can help you move locally or long distance with their skills and resources, making your journey easier. We also offer flat rates with no surprises, allowing you to plan your move with confidence. This ensures transparency and simplicity from the beginning, building trust with our clients for a worry-free moving experience.

Do Los Angeles Moving Companies Provide Packing Materials and Services?

Full-service moving companies in Los Angeles typically offer both packing materials and professional packing services.

What Licenses and Insurance Should a Moving Company Have?

Moving companies must have specific licenses and insurance to operate legally and safeguard customers’ belongings. A United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) number is mandatory for interstate relocations. This federal license helps monitor the company’s safety record and compliance with regulations. Movers should also carry cargo insurance, liability insurance, and workers’ compensation to ensure protection during the move. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration helps consumers protect their move with a helpful Moving Company Checklist. The FMCSA also notes, “While the majority of movers are reputable, consumers need to be aware of how to avoid those who are not.”

LAP Movers meets these stringent requirements, holding a USDOT number 3194473, MC number 1323152, CAL-T number 191847, and CA number 538162. “Our commitment to safety and responsibility is reflected in our comprehensive licensing and insurance coverage,” co-founder Luis Almaraz states. By upholding these credentials, LAP Movers shows its dedication to offering secure and dependable moving services in Los Angeles, ensuring peace of mind for its customers.

What Do Moving Company Reviews Reveal About Their Reputation?

Evaluating a moving company’s reputation involves examining customer reviews and feedback. Reviews can shed light on the company’s reliability, the quality of customer service, and how belongings are handled. Consulting third-party websites like Google or Yelp offers an impartial perspective on the mover’s performance. Mention.com explains, “Online reviews represent real-life experiences, offering potential customers a glimpse into the quality, value, and reliability of the product or service they’re considering.” Additionally, investigating the company’s complaint history through the Better Business Bureau (BBB) provides further insight into its service quality and reliability.

LAP Movers values our customers’ trust in us, as reflected in our positive reviews and feedback. “Our customers often praise us for our professionalism, efficiency, and careful handling of their belongings,” says co-founder Luis Almaraz.

What Protection Do Moving Companies Offer for Damaged or Missing Items During a Move?

Moving companies offer different levels of protection for belongings, from basic valuation coverage to full-value protection. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration explains, “Under Federal law, interstate movers must offer two different liability options referred to as valuation coverage: Full Value Protection and Released Value.” Basic valuation, typically included at no extra charge, provides limited compensation. In contrast, full-value protection offers comprehensive coverage for the repair, replacement, or compensation of items at their current market value. Additional insurance options are also available for items of exceptional value, like antiques and paintings.

LAP Movers provides a range of protection plans to accommodate the specific needs of our customers. These include Full Value Protection, Limited Liability Protection, and Items of Extraordinary Value Declaration, “Recognizing the importance of every item we transport, we offer a wide range of coverage options,” elaborates co-founder Luis Almaraz. Our licenses, including USDOT 3194473, MC 1323152, CAL-T 191847, and CA 538162, affirm our commitment to safeguarding our clients’ belongings, offering them the assurance and flexibility to select the protection level that best fits their moving needs.
