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 Hawthorne community.

Our commitment to Hawthorne means that when you hire us, your money stays in the area and helps support local schools, services, and infrastructure.

More About Our Hawthorne Moving Services

Local Moving

Most of our moving business stays within metro Los Angeles, in cities like Hawthorne. 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.

Commercial Moving

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 Trailer & Vault Storage

Short-term vault and trailer storage are 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.

Professional Packing Services

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.

Furniture Moving

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.

Long-Distance Moving

Call us if you live in Hawthorne 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.

Hawthorne to Texas? Not a problem.

Hawthorne to Bakersfield or the Bay Area? We do it all the time.

Our Commitment to Hawthorne, CA

Hawthorne, CA, was after the American author Nathaniel Hawthorne. Officially incorporated on July 12, 1922, the city has been a key contributor to Southern California’s development.

These are just a few things that make it an exceptional place to work and live.

  • 1st-Rate Plumbing Service: Not to be immodest, but Hawthorne is only minutes from Orange Coast Plumbing. That fact alone makes it a top 10 California city.
  • Aerospace Hub: Hawthorne is home to several major aerospace companies, including SpaceX (until it moves to Texas — sigh).
  • The Beach Boys: This iconic American rock band was founded in Hawthorne. There’s even a monument dedicated to them at their childhood home site. Little Surfer Girl may well have been a Hawthorne High grad.
  • Historical Aviation Ties: The city has a strong connection to aviation history, being close to Los Angeles International Airport and having hosted Northrop Corporation for many years.
  • Cultural Events: Hawthorne hosts various community events throughout the year, celebrating its cultural diversity and fostering community spirit.
  • Arts and Culture: The Hawthorne Historical Society preserves local history and offers insights into the city’s past through events and exhibitions.
  • Weather: Known for its mild Mediterranean climate, Hawthorne enjoys sunny weather most of the year, which is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.
  • Community Services: Residents benefit from excellent city services, including well-maintained public facilities and community programs to enhance quality of life.
  • Green Spaces: In addition to Holly Park, the city is dotted with smaller parks and green spaces that provide peaceful retreats for residents.
  • Hawthorne Plaza: Once a popular shopping mall, efforts are underway to revitalize this space into a mixed-use development, signaling future growth and investment.
  • Skateboarding Scene: Hawthorne has a robust skateboarding culture, partly thanks to its Southern California location and a few notable local skate parks.
  • Community Policing: The city emphasizes community-oriented policing practices, fostering a safe and secure environment for its residents.

At Walsh Moving & Storage, we’re proud to be part of the thriving Hawthorne community and aim to provide top-notch moving services that support its growth and success.

We employ local talent, ensuring all our movers are fully insured and part of the Walsh family, not contractors.
