Moving Companies in Maywood, CA
Maywood is a tight, dense pocket of Southeast Los Angeles County, so before you sign anything with a mover, run through this checklist.
- Hourly rate by crew size - local jobs under 50 miles are billed by the hour: about $110 - $140 for two movers with a truck, and $150 - $200 for a three-man crew.
- Minimum hours - most companies enforce a 3-hour minimum, so even a small apartment starts around $350 - $450 before tips.
- Total for your home size - a studio or 1-bedroom generally lands at $350 - $700, while a 2-3 bedroom place runs $700 - $1,800+.
- Double drive time - California's CPUC rules let movers bill twice the travel time between their base and your addresses; a base 30 minutes away adds a full hour to your tab, so ask exactly how they compute it.
- Street sweeping and parking - Maywood enforces sweeping-day citations strictly, and a truck blocking the street can mean tickets and a blown schedule; read the curb signs and arrange space ahead of time.
- BHGS license - intrastate movers must be registered with California's Bureau of Household Goods and Services; verify the number through the Department of Consumer Affairs, because an unlicensed cash operator leaves you almost no recourse if items are damaged or held hostage.
- Stair and long-carry fees - gated entries, narrow stairwells and walks over 75 feet from truck to door often trigger surcharges, so describe your building layout when getting the quote.
- Tip money - cash is standard: $4 - $5 per mover per hour, or 15% - 20% of the total split across the crew for a hard job.
The mover listings below are a good place to start collecting written quotes you can compare side by side.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Los Angeles County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 6% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
