Your apartment moving cost depends on factors, such as the type and size of your property, the complexity of your move, the number of bedrooms, the volume of your items, zip code, etc. At SOS Moving, we offer flat and hourly rates. The hourly rate depends on the number of movers to be involved and the size of the moving truck. Flat rate is based on the volume of belongings you need to move, and it’s the best option for long-distance moves. To know your moving cost, please contact us or submit a form on our website to request your free quote.
You should schedule your move date as early as you can. If you’re moving locally, at least 1-2 weeks in advance, for long-distance moves, we recommend getting a quote at least 2-4 weeks before your move date.
You can choose any convenient day for your relocation, and yes, we can help you move on weekends and holidays.
A safe relocation is our goal, so we’ll provide you with a detailed list of items that are prohibited to transport. It includes perishables, hazardous materials, firearms, batteries, etc. We also don’t recommend packing your personal and irreplaceable items, including family heirlooms, family photos, jewelry, documents, etc. Carry them with you during the move.

Yes, we’ll contact you prior to delivery. We’ll deliver your belongings within the given moving arrival window. In case the window is no longer possible, we’ll also contact you in advance and set another delivery time.
A third of Gardena's homes went up in the 1950s, and close to nine in ten were built before 1990, according to the city's Housing Element. Doorways and hall turns in houses of that age are often tighter than a new sectional expects. The crew measures the big pieces against the openings before lifting anything, takes bed frames and table legs apart, and pads floors and door jambs along the carry path.
Just over half of Gardena households rent, and 42 percent of the city's housing units are in multifamily buildings. Before an apartment move, ask the manager where a truck may stop and which gate or stairwell to use, then tell us the floor and the walk from the curb. Stairs and a long walk from the curb add time, so they belong in the estimate as much as the room count.
Several of Gardena's 12 specific plans built gated communities. Emerald Square put 159 houses on 177th Street between Budlong and Vermont avenues. Gardena Village holds 59 detached condos on the north side of Artesia Boulevard, between Denker and Western, and Cottage Place sits on Budlong between 144th and 146th streets. Get the gate code or put the truck on the guest list, and ask the HOA whether it wants a certificate of insurance, which we issue for $50.
Newer construction here is mostly two- to three-story townhome-style condos. Bedrooms upstairs mean every dresser and mattress rides a staircase, so the crew wraps the railings and carries dressers down with the drawers emptied.
Mobile homes make up 5.7 percent of Gardena's housing, more than three times the county share. The parks cluster in the city's northeastern corner, several with Vermont Avenue addresses, and a few more sit along South Western Avenue. Before move day, ask the park office where a truck may stop.
| Area or home type in Gardena | What to plan for on moving day |
|---|---|
| 1950s house on a residential street | Measure large furniture against doorways; read the sweeping sign for your date |
| Gated community: Emerald Square, Gardena Village, Cottage Place | Gate code or guest list for the truck; ask the HOA about a certificate of insurance |
| Mobile home park in the northeastern corner or on South Western Avenue | Ask the park office where the truck may stop |
| Permit District No. 1, between Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach boulevards | Check the posted permit hours; keep cars without permits off that curb |
| Harbor Gateway home with a Gardena mailing address | Los Angeles parking and sweeping rules apply, not Gardena's |
Gardena posts its street sweeping schedule on signs along each block, and any vehicle parked at that curb during the posted day and hours is in violation, a moving truck included. Major arteries are swept twice a week, residential streets once. When you book, tell us what the sign on your side of the street says: if sweeping lands on your date, the crew loads from the opposite curb or waits for the window to close.
The city skips sweeping on its listed holidays and on heavy-rain days. That list goes past the federal holidays, with the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve on it too, so a move on one of those dates has no sweeping window to work around.
Five permit parking districts cover parts of the city, drawn to keep event traffic from nearby facilities off residential blocks. District No. 1, for example, takes in a pocket of tracts between Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Redondo Beach Boulevard. Signs give the restricted days and hours, and police can have a car without a permit towed. If your street is inside a district, check those hours before you choose a date.
Gardena's parking code keeps trucks heavier than 10,000 pounds unladen off residential streets and alleys unless they are there for a pickup, a delivery, or work at a property on that block. A household move is that kind of stop, so the truck holds your curb while the crew loads and pulls out when the last box is in.
Standing in a travel lane is a different story. Gardena's Public Works Engineering Division requires an encroachment permit for anything that interferes with the normal flow of traffic, so double-parking to load is not a workaround. When the curb is packed, we look for a driveway or the nearest legal space and plan a longer carry with dollies and padded furniture.
Before any of this, check one thing: a Gardena mailing address is not always the City of Gardena. Harbor Gateway, the narrow strip of Los Angeles along the 110, borders Gardena, and some of its residents have Gardena addresses. On those blocks the sweeping schedule and parking rules come from Los Angeles, so confirm which city your street is in.
Booking movers in Gardena through us means a truck coming from our only base, on Jillson Street in Los Angeles: about 16.7 miles by I-710 south and SR-91 west, around 24 minutes without traffic. Weekday rush hours on both freeways can stretch that drive well past the no-traffic figure.
Gardena moves run inside our 8AM to 6PM day, Monday through Sunday. A full house with a garage to empty belongs in a morning start, with the whole window still ahead. A same-day move out of Gardena is possible when a crew is free. Gardena sits well inside 30 miles of the base, so the minimum is 3 hours, and double drive time applies to moves over 10 miles.
Moving services in Gardena reach past the city line on every side. Hawthorne borders Gardena on the northwest, and Rosecrans Avenue runs through both, so a move between them can stay on surface streets; see moves in Hawthorne.
Torrance meets Gardena to the southwest, so a move across that line is short, but the curb rules on the far side are Torrance's own. For that side, see moving in Torrance.
Carson is one of the cities SR-91 passes through on the way from our base, and like Gardena it borders Harbor Gateway. A Gardena-to-Carson move is a short run on the 91 or the 110; start with Carson moves.
