Local Movers Who Know
Sacramento Street by Street
Top Sacramento Moving Company has been moving families and businesses around California’s capital since 2005. Our crews work every part of the city, from Midtown fourplexes and Downtown high-rises to the older bungalows of East Sacramento, Land Park and Curtis Park, and the newer homes in the Pocket, Greenhaven and Natomas.
Sacramento moves have their own puzzles: narrow driveways under big trees, second-floor walk-ups with tight turns, metered streets where the truck has to park smart. We plan for all of it before move day, so your crew shows up with the right truck, the right number of movers and enough pads and wrap for everything you own.

How Much Do Movers Cost in Sacramento?
You pay by the hour for the crew and truck, with a 3-hour minimum. No hidden fees: here is what actually decides the total for a Sacramento move.
Day of the week
Monday–Tuesday is our special rate, Wednesday–Thursday is standard, and Friday–Sunday is our busiest time. Flexible on the date? Pick early in the week and save.
Crew size and how much you move
Two movers handle most apartments, larger homes need three or four. Boxes packed and furniture ready before we arrive mean fewer hours on the clock.
Distance between addresses
Only the drive from your old home to your new one counts, billed as double drive time under California rules. Moves inside Sacramento usually add very little.
Hourly rates for 2 / 3 / 4 movers with truck: Mon–Tue special $111 / $165 / $215 (5th–25th of the month, based on availability) · other Mon–Tue $125 / $175 / $225 · Wed–Thu $135 / $185 / $235 · Fri–Sun, and the 1st–3rd and 28th–31st of every month, $145 / $195 / $245. Each additional mover +$50/hr. 3-hour minimum. Drive time is billed as double the drive between your two addresses (California rules) — never the trip to you or back to our yard. Stairs, long carries, padding, wrapping and furniture disassembly are always included.

Tips for Moving in Sacramento
Book 2–4 weeks ahead in summer
May through August, the last days of the month and weekends fill first. Monday–Tuesday moves are easier to schedule and cost less.

Plan where the truck parks
Midtown and Downtown streets are often metered or permit-only. Check with your building or HOA about loading zones and move-in hours, and we will tell you what to reserve when we confirm the move.
Beat the heat
Pack candles, vinyl records, wine and medications in your car, not the truck. Early morning starts are the best choice from June to September.
Protect floors in the rainy season
From November to March we lay down floor protection and wrap upholstered furniture so wet weather never reaches your things.
Measure older homes
Many pre-war homes in East Sac, Land Park and Curtis Park have narrow doors and tight stairways. Send us photos of large pieces and we plan disassembly in advance.

Sacramento Moving FAQ
1. How early should I book my Sacramento move?
Two to four weeks ahead is usually enough. For a summer weekend or the end of the month, book as early as you can. Weekday dates, especially Monday and Tuesday, are often available within a few days.
2. Do you charge extra for stairs or long carries?
No. Stairs, elevators and long walks from the truck to your door are all part of the hourly rate. There are no surprise fees on the bill.
3. How is drive time charged?
Under California rules we charge double the drive time between your pickup and drop-off. A move from Midtown to the Pocket adds only a small amount of drive time. We never charge for the trip to you or back to our yard.
4. How do I pay?
You pay when the move is finished, by credit or debit card, cash, Zelle or Venmo. There is no deposit to request an estimate. A $100 deposit reserves your date when you book and goes toward your final bill.
5. Are my things covered?
Yes. Basic coverage at 60 cents per pound per item is included at no cost, as California requires. If you want more protection for valuable furniture, ask us about full value protection before your move date.
