The heavy, the tricky, the irreplaceable
Some pieces need more than muscle. Hector Ibarra leads our specialty crew and has spent eleven years moving the things other movers flinch at — and it’s simply one of the services we run, not a white-glove upsell.
What we move carefully
- Upright and console pianos, padded, strapped, and dollied
- Gun safes and floor safes, including tight stair descents
- Antiques, curio cabinets, and heirloom furniture
- Surfboards, longboards, and paddleboards — this is a beach town
- Home-gym racks, treadmills, and spin bikes
- Large aquariums, framed art, and marble tops
How we protect it
We size up doorways, stairwells, and turns first, then pad, crate where needed, and use piano boards, four-wheel dollies, and stair-climbers. Bringing a safe down from a Coronado condo or an upright out of an IB bungalow is planned, not improvised.
Specialty items go on the same crew and rate as the rest of your move, and every piece is covered — up to $1,000,000 in cargo per shipment, with full-value protection if you want each item covered dollar-for-dollar.
Before we lift a thing
Every specialty job starts with measurements — the piece, the doorways, the stair pitch, the truck ramp. Hector decides then whether it’s a straight carry, a board, or a crate, so there’s no guessing with your safe halfway down the stairs.
Adding a piano, safe, or antique to a regular household move? It rides the same truck the same day — no separate trip, no separate company. Just flag it on the walk-through so we bring the right gear.
What the flat price includes on a Imperial Beach, CA move
- A pre-move look at doorways, stairs, and turns so nothing gets forced
- Piano boards, skid boards, and heavy-duty four-wheel dollies
- Extra pads, straps, and stretch-wrap on every fragile surface
- Stair-climbing gear and enough crew for safe descents and lifts
- Custom crating for marble, glass, and one-of-a-kind antiques
- Surfboard and paddleboard bags or padding for the beach-town haul
- Careful load placement so specialty pieces ride flat and secure
- Cargo coverage up to $1,000,000 per shipment, full-value protection available
So — what will it come to?
Put two movers and the truck on the clock at $149/hr, or drop the meter and settle the whole job on one signed the South Bay flat rate laid out on a single page
Folded into that rate from the start are the moving blankets, the hand trucks, the rolls of shrink film and the patient, careful lifts an Palm City condo or a North Park walk-up asks for — plus any COI a Downtown high-rise or a suburban HOA wants filed ahead of load-day. Add a third mover and the hourly runs $209.
