House Moves on the Peninsula

Planning a Whole-House Move

A house holds more than its bedroom count suggests. The garage, the patio furniture and the piano all need a plan, so we size the crew around everything that is going. Two movers are $160 an hour, bigger homes usually need more people, and every job has a 3-hour minimum.

Packing, full or partial The whole house or only the kitchen. See packing services; materials are billed separately

Furniture taken down and set up Beds, dining tables, desks and shelving rebuilt in the rooms where they belong

Heavy and fragile pieces Pianos, safes, marble tops and garage gyms. See piano moving

Storage and clear-outs Part of the house to storage, donations set aside, the rest hauled off

Real Jobs, Real Totals

Recent House Jobs and Their Totals

These are real house moves from the past few months, with the San Carlos and mid-Peninsula jobs first. The higher totals came from adding a piano, storage, packing or a full clear-out to the move.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a house move cost in San Carlos?

A crew of two is $160 an hour, with a 3-hour minimum ($480). In our recent records, a 3 bedroom San Carlos house that went into storage in Belmont came to $2,400, and 2 and 3 bedroom house moves overall ran from $2,000 to $4,500. Pianos, storage, packing and clear-outs pushed jobs toward the high end.

Do you move townhomes and smaller houses?

Yes. We move condos, townhomes and 1 or 2 bedroom houses as well as 3 and 4 bedroom homes. When you ask for a quote, include the bedroom count and what is stored in the garage.

Can you move a piano or home gym with the rest of the house?

Yes. Recent house jobs included a piano and a garage gym with a power rack. Tell us about heavy items up front so we send the right crew and equipment.

Can you help clear out a house, not just move it?

Yes. We can pack, set aside donations, haul away what is left and sweep the place out. A clear-out is more work than a straight move, so we quote it separately.

Can some of the house go to storage?

Yes. Two recent house jobs on this page used storage. One went entirely into a unit in Belmont, and one was split between a new apartment and storage.

Do you handle long-distance moves?

Anywhere within California, yes. We do not move to other states.

Which cities do you serve for house moves?

San Carlos, Belmont, Redwood City, San Mateo, Foster City, Menlo Park, Atherton, Palo Alto, Los Altos and the rest of the Peninsula, plus the South Bay and East Bay.
