Santa Monica is our home. Thunderhorse Movers and Packers is based at 2450 Colorado Ave in Santa Monica, so our crews know the city’s apartment buildings, beach-area streets, and parking rules from years of moves here.
From rent-controlled apartments north of Wilshire to family homes in Sunset Park and condos near Ocean Park, we plan every Santa Monica move around your building, your street, and your schedule.

Every city has its own streets, buildings, and rules. Here’s what we plan for before moving day.
Parking near the beach and downtown is tight. We plan where the truck will park and how long the carry will be before moving day.
Many Santa Monica apartments have stairs and no elevator. We send the right crew size so stairs don’t slow your move down.
Condo and apartment buildings often require a Certificate of Insurance and reserved move times. We provide the COI and coordinate with your manager.

“I had to pack and move within just two days, and they handled everything efficiently — especially my fine china that belonged to my grandmother. Not a single item was damaged! They charged exactly what they quoted, and their estimate was spot on. The whole process was smooth, organized, and stress-free.”
