What We Plan For on Every Santa Monica Move
Every city has its own streets, buildings, and rules. Here’s what we plan for before moving day.
Walk-ups and older apartment buildings
Many Santa Monica apartments have stairs and no elevator. We send the right crew size so stairs don’t slow your move down.
Building rules and COI
Condo and apartment buildings often require a Certificate of Insurance and reserved move times. We provide the COI and coordinate with your manager.
