Jan and Dean celebrated the little old lady from Pasadena in song.
Walsh helped her move from point A to point B.
Pasadenans have relied on Walsh for local and long-distance moves, commercial relocations, temporary storage, and anything else moving-related for half a century.
We’re based locally in Long Beach and Torrance, a short distance from Pasadena and the Rose Bowl, the Huntington Library, and yes — the little old lady with gardenias. We may not be able to move the gardenias unless they’re in pots, but over the years, we’ve helped thousands of Southern Californians settle into their new digs safely, fast, and affordably.
We can take you from Pasadena to any location in the contiguous USA. We’re family-owned and operated, and your satisfaction is our top priority.
We take ownership of your move from start to finish. We don’t subcontract any portion of your move to other companies.
We guarantee your local moving pickup and delivery date. Some other companies aren’t able to do this.
We have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
We carry full insurance. If anything breaks during your move (unlikely), Walsh pays for the damage in most cases.
Walsh movers are covered by company medical and Worker’s Compensation. If someone gets hurt during your DIY move, you, the homeowner or renter, could be liable.
We offer short-term storage for companies and customers in transition. If your permanent accommodations aren’t ready, we’ll keep your things in secure vaults or trailer storage until they are.

The Truth about “Local” Moving Companies
Some national chains masquerade as local movers through local franchises. These companies have a presence in your area, but ultimately funnel earnings out of the local economy and are controlled by a distant headquarters.
Unlike those franchises, Walsh Moving has been locally owned and operated since day one. We’re proud to employ local workers and contribute to the growth of the Pasadena community.
Our commitment to Pasadena means that when you hire us, your money stays in the area and helps support local schools, services, and infrastructure.

Walsh Moving Core Values & Business Model
We focus on customer service and the quality of your experience.
We treat your possessions as if they were our own.
We take ownership of your move from start to finish. We don’t subcontract any portion of your move to other companies.
Our guaranteed quote is a solid promise. We won’t charge you more, although we may charge less.
Most of our moving business stays within metro Los Angeles, in cities like Pasadena. Local moves close to our warehouses are the service we deliver most often and efficiently.
Local moves can be apartment to apartment, house to house, city to nearby city, or simply reorganizing furniture within a building.
Companies outgrow their space. They downsize to remain competitive. They search for a better location or a more favorable lease and city tax code.
The movers you hire should adjust to your business schedule and avoid significant disruptions. They should recognize when it’s appropriate to remove supplies, furniture, and equipment, and when it’s not.
At Walsh Moving, we plan your move in detail before we send out the first truck.
Short-term vault and trailer storage are fundamentally different from self-storage in standard facilities. Access is limited. Storage is more secure.
Vault and trailer storage are short-term solutions for movers whose permanent living or business space is still being prepared for occupancy.
Usually, our short-term storage is included in your moving estimate and not extended as a separate service. But if you need to store a sofa or piano for a while or need storage at a moment’s notice, we can do that, too.
Walsh Moving professionals are trained to handle your things with care. But if anything breaks during packing and moving, we’ll reimburse you. Professional movers are licensed and insured. Damage is covered.
When it comes to boxing breakables, antiques, and family heirlooms, it pays to have someone experienced on the job.
Not every move involves a truck. In-home and in-office moves are part of our business at Walsh, where boxes and furniture may never leave the building.
It sounds so easy. You’re just rearranging a few things around the house or office, right?
The task is much easier for Walsh movers than for the average person. Plus, Walsh professional movers are insured. Not just for any injuries sustained (and they’re far less likely to get hurt than you) but for any damage to your belongings.
Call us if you live in Pasadena and plan to move across state lines. Our primary long-distance service area is the Western USA, but we’ve hauled trailers from Southern California as far as New England.
Pasadena to Texas? Not a problem.
Pasadena to Bakersfield or the Bay Area? We do it all the time.
