Popeye Moving doesn't care if you're relocating a studio apartment or an entire office building - small jobs get the same attention as the big ones. Their crews show up with spotless, modern equipment and handle everything from regular household moves to specialized services like chandelier installations and custom crate building for priceless antiques. The company holds a California Public Utilities Commission license (CAL T189749) and maintains full bonding and insurance coverage. They've carved out a particular niche working with interior designers, offering white-glove service that includes careful inspection, specialized packing, and verified delivery conditions. Located on Centinela Avenue, they provide same-day or next-day delivery for long-distance moves to Northern California, Nevada, and Arizona. Their storage facility features secure 245-cubic-foot vaults plus special areas for oversized items like pianos, pool tables, and film production props. Even last-minute moves get professional treatment from their certified crews.
