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.

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.
