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.
West Covina had 4,499 residents in 1950 and 50,645 in 1960, and the city's own history calls it the fastest-growing city in the country in 1955. That decade of tract building still shapes what movers in West Covina walk into: a single-family house, a driveway, and doorways framed for the furniture of the fifties. So the crew measures doors and hall turns against the biggest pieces, takes beds and sectionals apart when the numbers are close, and lays runners from the front door to the back bedroom.
The South Hills, around Galster Wilderness Park on Aroma Drive, are a different job. The city's zoning has a Hillside Overlay Zone with its own rules for houses on graded pads, and on a pad lot the path from the door to the truck can include a sloped driveway or outside steps. The crew walks that path before the first box moves, pads the railings and door frames, and parks the truck where the street is level.
A yellow curb in West Covina is not a place for a moving truck. Under the city's curb rules, a stop there is limited to 20 minutes for loading or unloading materials and three minutes for passengers, from 7AM to 6PM every day except Sundays and holidays. No household loads that fast, so the truck goes on open curb or in the driveway.
Parking signs can also change from one block to the next. Residents may ask the city for overnight limits, time limits, permit parking or no parking on sweeping days, and a request reaches the Traffic Committee only after a majority of the affected residents support it. That is why the crew reads the signs at both addresses instead of assuming a street follows the one beside it.
Street sweeping runs on a weekly schedule with posted four-hour no-parking windows, and the city's Weekly Street Sweeping Schedule Map shows the sweeping day and hours street by street. For apartment moves on higher-density residential streets, the sweeper alternates sides, so one curb stays open. Booking moving services in West Covina on a sweeping day is fine as long as the loading is planned around that window.
The municipal code adds one more limit: commercial vehicles rated at 10,000 pounds or more may not stop or park on residential streets, except while picking up or delivering goods at a building on that street. In practice, a moving truck belongs on a residential block for the loading and the unloading, not for waiting in between.
Before the move, we ask for three things: the full address with its direction letters, the sweeping day for both addresses from the city map, and any HOA rules in writing, including move hours and where a truck may stand. If an association or building wants a certificate of insurance, a COI from SOS is $50; reserving a gate time or an elevator is the resident's part.
Athens Services, West Covina's franchised hauler, can take what isn't coming along. Houses and apartments with their own carts can book a bulky-item pickup any week, on the regular collection day, at no extra charge: up to five items, each small enough for two people to handle, reserved at least 24 hours ahead. After the move, flattened boxes go in the blue recycling cart.
The I-10 crosses West Covina with a frontage road on each side, and both are named Garvey Avenue: Garvey Avenue North and Garvey Avenue South. City Hall, for one, sits at 1444 West Garvey Avenue South. Drop the N or the S, or the E or the W, and the truck can arrive on the wrong side of the freeway, so we confirm the full street name when the move is booked.
On the west side, Sunkist Village was the city's first residential subdivision, laid out in 1941, a decade before the boom. For houses that old, the crew asks about flooring and tight doors when the move is booked, not at the front step, and packing services can be added for a garage or kitchen that has filled up over the years.
| Area or home type in West Covina | What to plan for on moving day |
|---|---|
| Sunkist Village and other west-side blocks from the 1940s | Measure doors for large pieces; cover floors from the entry to the truck |
| 1950s tract streets | Load from the driveway when possible; beds and sectionals may need to come apart for older hallways |
| South Hills near Galster Wilderness Park | Walk the carry path first; park where the street is level; allow time for slopes and steps |
| Addresses on Garvey Avenue North or South | Confirm N or S and E or W; the two roads sit on opposite sides of the I-10 |
| Higher-density residential streets | Sweeping alternates sides; check the city map and use the curb that stays open |
From our base at 5530 Jillson Street, the truck takes SR-60 east, I-605 north and I-10 east into West Covina: about 16.3 miles, around 24 minutes without traffic. On weekday mornings the heavier I-10 traffic usually flows toward Los Angeles, so a truck heading out for an 8AM start runs against most of it. The evening rush turns the other way, which matters most when a move loads in Los Angeles and unloads in West Covina late in the day.
All of it fits inside the 8AM – 6PM window, seven days a week. West Covina moves carry the 3-hour minimum, and double drive time applies to moves over 10 miles. The posted sweeping window on either street is the detail most likely to shape the start time, and same-day moves are possible when a crew is free.
Covina is the neighbor with history: West Covina incorporated in 1923 mainly to stop Covina from putting a sewer farm on its land. Today the two share the I-10 and its Garvey Avenue frontage roads, so moving between Covina and West Covina is a short trip that still needs the N-or-S address check.
Baldwin Park borders the city on the northwest, and the I-10 runs through both, which makes Baldwin Park moves a short freeway hop or a surface-street run. For La Puente moves, the city lies across West Covina's southwest line, close enough that the truck can stay off the freeway entirely.
