Family owned company serving the San Fernando Valley since 1995. We have 5 local moving trucks, and 3 long distance trailers. Moving team has at minimum 5 years experience. We are happy to provide free onsite estimates for Angie's List members.
"I’ve moved a few times in my life, but this was my first long-distance move, and I was pretty overwhelmed. I honestly didn’t know where to start. Let’s Move It Right was recommended by a friend, and I’m so happy I went with them. The crew was super friendly, very professional, and they didn’t mess around. They showed up on time and got to work right away, packing and loading all my things with care. They even helped me with a few last-minute things I had forgotten to pack. The best part? No hidden fees, no surprises, and everything arrived in perfect condition. I’d use them again in a heartbeat!"

Long Distance Moving & Storage. Household, Commercial, International, Corporate services available. Our Mission is To exceed expectations on every move. We live this day in and day out. Our service is top notch and fully efficient. Our trucks are perfectly equipped for moving with Pads, dollies, Plastic and much more. We provide Long Distance Moves across the entire country, directly from our West Coast HUBS located in AZ, CA, OR and WA. Or, we team with our partner companies to complete moves together. We are proud to provide a service that no other company offers; Dedicated Trucks. This means that your belongings are loaded on the truck and not combined with anyone else’s items (from/to west coast only). They are not transferred to other trucks or facilities in route which causes damage and loss of items (typical with van lines). We have a set loading day and unloading day. This is by far the safest way to ship. Our interstate rates are per 24ft moving van that holds up to 8,500lbs or 1400CuFt. Some customers require one truck and some require more. One truck holds the average 1800SqFt.
"I cannot say enough great things about All Service Moving—and ESPECIALLY Rico and Reyes, who were absolute lifesavers for my last-minute move. After another moving company bailed on me the day before my scheduled move, All Service swooped in and saved the day. Rico and Reyes showed up EARLY, upbeat, and ready to tackle the challenge—even with super heavy furniture that usually requires a 4-person crew. Somehow, the two of them handled everything like pros without a single scratch or ding—on the furniture or either home. What really stood out was how personable, kind, and thoughtful they were. They moved quickly and efficiently, knowing I was paying by the hour, but never once sacrificed care or quality. They were kind to my mom (who was helping me out), and so sweet to my two dogs too. If you’re planning a move, ask for Rico and Reyes by name. They went above and beyond, and I want their team to know what a fantastic job they did. They deserve every bit of recognition. 100% recommend."

"Hire Elite Movers if you want 4 grown men defecating in your children’s bathroom. Oren at Elite moving spoke with my wife about services for a local move. We provided information about the size of our home and any items that required special attention. The day of the move the foreman arrived with 3 helpers, did a walkthrough and provided a price for the move “plus materials”. At no time during the walkthrough did he state that the estimate was lower than what the actual job would cost and to be prepared for a bill $1000 over the quote. The team was slow and unorganized and spent a lot of time on their phones. About 3/4 of the way through they said the truck was full packed up and left. There was no resolution for the remaining items and the team left before i could contact the agent who booked the move. Upon meeting the team at the unloading address they informed me it would be $1000 more than the estimate provided. The foreman Mario cited “materials”. At no time was I provided an itemized breakdown of what the team used and where the extra cost was incurred. The foreman refused to unload without payment and threatened to leave with the contents of my home. He told me to call Oren if I had a problem and Oren spoke to me once, hung up and ignored my calls. Mario the foreman then advised to call Donna at the main office who proceeded to speak to me like I was stupid and did not understand how movers get paid. Mario the foreman then shook me down for a $200 cash tip in my own driveway to “unload quickly and leave”. He and his team just dumped all our boxes in the garage. Two weeks later we are still finding boxes in the garage that should have been unloaded in our home. We contacted the owner Val and waited 10 + days for a response. His response/explanation was to blame us for filling out the order form wrong and “underselling” the move. He then became abusive to my wife, started to yell at her and say she was “wild” and unreasonable. Unhappy with how my wife was spoken to I addressed Val and it was a circular explanation of blaming us for underselling and then labor to move. Which one is it? Is this an hourly job or based on our form? Again, the foreman should be an expert and never advised the move would be $1000 over the estimate and not be completed. Val offered a $400 refund which does not come close covering the difference in price and quote and the hassle and stress incurred. Offering this credit is an admission of guilt and mishandling, but an insult nonetheless. I would also like to mention that the team of movers all lined up and defecated in my children’s bathroom before leaving. 4 grown men defecating in my 1 and 4 year old’s bathroom after holding their toys and clothes hostage in my driveway and extorting a cash tip before completing the job. Val continues to call my wife and harass and yell at her about this issue and is not man enough to contact me directly."

Piano moving services FAQs
Before your piano movers arrive, it’s a good idea to prep the piano for its journey to avoid damage, as well as clear a path to make the move as easy as possible. You can start by using bubble wrap and moving blankets to protect the keys, lids, and pedals. Drape moving blankets over the piano and secure them, if possible, to protect the surface from damage. Next, clear furniture and other obstructions out of the path from the piano to the door. It’s also wise to maintain a close spot for the moving truck to park out front.
Yes, it is absolutely worth it to hire piano movers. Pianos are heavy and bulky, which makes them very challenging to move safely and without causing damage to the piano and your home. Hiring piano movers is especially worthwhile if you need to move the instrument up or down staircases, as that can put you and your helpers at risk of serious injury. Overall, the price you’ll pay to hire a professional piano mover pales in comparison to the damage you could do to your piano or your home if you attempt the move yourself.
It is not necessary to tip piano movers, and workers from reputable companies generally won’t expect tips. However, if you’re pleased with the service and the movers are friendly and respectful, tipping can show your appreciation for how well the crew cared for what is likely a very expensive instrument. Tipping between $20 and $40 per mover is about average.
It is certainly possible to move a piano without hiring movers, but it’s not recommended. Not only will you need at least four people to lift and maneuver the piano, but getting it around tight corners and down flights of stairs might not be possible without the help of movers. Plus, pianos are exceptionally heavy and bulky, which means you and any helping hands are at risk of injury, as well as an increased risk of damaging your piano. Ultimately, it’s always worth it to call in a professional piano mover.
The average cost to move a piano is around $400, but your total will depend on the type of piano and your living situation—tight corners and flights of stairs will complicate the move. Moving an upright piano will be more affordable—around $250—and a full grand piano will cost closer to $550. Long-distance moves will bump all of these prices up and sometimes double them if the move is across state lines.
