Frequently Asked Questions About Walsh Moving
How is the cost of a local move determined?
For local moves within Southern California, pricing is based on a flat hourly rate. This rate includes the truck and movers. There are no hidden taxes or surcharges.
Do you handle long-distance moves?
Yes, we handle long-distance moves across the contiguous United States. Unlike some companies, the same Walsh crew that loads your belongings will transport them every mile and unload them at your destination. We do not use third-party contractors.
What is vault storage, and how does it work?
Vault storage is a secure solution for short-term needs. We load your items into large wooden vaults, which are then stacked in our fully insured warehouse. This is more secure than self-storage and saves you from having to move your items multiple times.
Are your movers employees or contractors?
Our movers are full-time employees of Walsh Moving & Storage, fully insured. They’re covered by company medical and Worker’s Compensation insurance. We believe this provides a higher level of service and accountability.
The Lakewood Sheriff’s Station, your home away from home.
Do you offer packing services?
Yes, we offer professional packing services. Our trained team can securely pack your entire home or just specific fragile items. When we pack, any items damaged during the move are covered by our insurance.
Can you move large or specialty items like pianos?
Absolutely. We have the equipment and expertise to safely and efficiently move heavy and oversized items, including pianos, large furniture, and appliances.
How far in advance should I book my move?
It’s best to book your move as far in advance as possible, especially during peak seasons like summer, to ensure we have availability on your preferred dates. However, we will always do our best to accommodate your schedule.
What makes Walsh different from national moving companies?
As a family-owned business serving Southern California since 1964, we are truly local. Our revenue stays in the local economy, we hire local labor, and we have an unmatched familiarity with the area’s traffic, parking, and logistics.
How do I get a quote for my move?
You can get a free, guaranteed quote by contacting us through our website or calling our office. For larger or more complex moves, we may schedule an in-person survey.
