01 Overview

When the dates don’t line up in LA

It happens on nearly every Los Angeles move: your lease is up before the new place is ready, or the buyer needs you out a week early, and suddenly you’ve got a whole household and nowhere to put it. To bridge precisely that gap, Pro Express Moving built its short-term storage. We’ve handled it for LA families since 2013 — load the home, keep it safe, and bring it back when the new place is yours.

Across LA County, Los Angeles movers handles premium moves on a single written flat rate, with nothing sprung on the invoice.

The reason to use your mover for storage instead of a self-storage place is simple: you touch your furniture once. Our own crew loads the home, pad-wrapped and inventoried, into clean, dry, secured storage. Once you give the word, that whole operation simply plays in reverse — we draw it back out, load the truck, and bring it to you. You’re not renting a truck twice or wrestling a sofa into a unit in the August heat yourself.

The way we price it lines up with everything else we do:

  • Both hauls — in and back out — bill at the crew rate, $149/hr for a pair of movers or $209/hr for three
  • The storage runs a flat monthly fee scaled to how much room your goods take, quoted before you sign on
  • A single $99 deposit holds both the move-in and move-out date and credits to your bill
  • Everything is inventoried, so what goes in is exactly what comes out — nothing left to memory

Stored goods carry the same protection as a move — $0.60/lb released value standard, full-value coverage available, up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage per shipment. We pad-wrap and inventory every piece before it goes in, so what’s loaded is precisely what comes back, accounted for item by item. Whether it’s a few days between settlements in Glendale, a couple of weeks while a Long Beach remodel wraps, or a longer hold while you decide on the next neighborhood, we keep your household safe so a calendar mismatch doesn’t turn into a last-minute storage scramble. And because we already know your access — the hillside driveway, the permit block, the DTLA freight elevator — redelivery isn’t a fresh logistics puzzle. Get my free moving quote and we’ll price both legs and the storage together, in one number you can plan around.

What’s included

  • Clean, dry, secured storage for the gap between leases or closings — days, weeks, or a couple of months
  • Our crew loads your goods into the unit and pulls them back out, so you never re-handle a single piece of furniture
  • Pad-wrapped and inventoried items, so everything that goes into storage is accounted for when it comes back out
  • Redelivery on the same $149/hr or $209/hr crew rate when you're ready for the second leg
  • One $99 deposit that holds both the move-in and the move-out date, credited to your final bill
  • Released-value coverage at $0.60/lb on stored goods, full-value optional, and up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage per shipment

How we set the price

After a quick walkthrough or video estimate, we write up a single flat rate from the inventory you genuinely have — not from a clock ticking by the hour. Whatever the sheet reads is the entire price, with nothing tacked on afterward.

02 How we protect your move

Your things get handled like our own

Our truck rolls up already loaded with pads, film, and floor runners — ready to shield furniture, cover hardwood, and cushion the fragile pieces in LA’s Spanish-style bungalows and hillside homes.

Quilted pads

Before a single piece moves, dressers, tables, and headboards are wrapped and padded right where they stand.

Stretch film

Sealed against road dust and the LA heat, drawers stay shut and cushions stay clean the whole ride.

Floor & doorway guards

Hardwood, banisters, and trim come through clean because runners, rail wraps, and jamb pads go down before any lifting starts.

Built-to-fit crating

For mirrors, glass tops, framed art, and flat screens, we build crates sized to the piece — every corner covered.

Break-down & rebuild

Bed frames, tables, and oversized furniture get taken apart for transit, then reassembled once they reach the new place.

Straps, dollies & gear

Tight staircases, hillside switchbacks, and the heavy stuff all get the right tie-downs and equipment — we never cut a corner.

03 Why us

You hire the movers, not a middleman

Book Pro Express and our name goes on the contract, our truck pulls up to your door, and our own crew works the ramp. A broker signs none of that — it flips your job to whoever bids lowest, then steps out of the picture.

Pro Express Moving
  • Our own LA trucks and full-time, background-checked movers — no day labor
  • One flat rate in writing, locked — what you sign is what you settle, to the dollar
  • The same crew loads your old place and unloads the new one, start to finish
  • CPUC household-goods authority and USDOT/MC for interstate, fully insured
  • A Los Angeles office and one point of contact from the first call to the final box
What a broker does
  • Hands your job to whatever carrier comes in cheapest that week
  • Surprises you with fresh fees and a new number once move day arrives
  • Puts strangers you have never spoken to in charge of loading your home
  • Keeps you in the dark about who actually owns the liability
  • Drops a call center between you and whoever ends up doing the lifting

Questions we hear about this service

My lease ends before the new place is ready — can you hold my things for a few weeks?
That's exactly what short-term storage is built for. LA move-in and move-out dates almost never line up, so we'll load your home into clean, dry storage, hold it as long as you need, and redeliver once the new place is ready. You touch your belongings only once — our crew handles both legs.
How is storage-in-transit billed?
Both legs — the haul into storage and the haul back out — bill at our standard crew rate of $149/hr for two movers or $209/hr for three. The storage itself is a flat charge each month, set by the amount of space your goods occupy. We quote the whole thing up front, and one $99 deposit holds both dates.
Are my belongings protected while they're in storage?
Yes. Everything is pad-wrapped and inventoried before it goes into the unit, the space is dry and secured, and your goods carry $0.60/lb released-value coverage with full-value protection available and up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage per shipment — the same as during the move itself.
