Half of LA lives in apartments, and most buildings won’t let a truck near the loading dock without a certificate of insurance on file. Pro Express handles that paperwork for you. Carmen in our office pulls the COI straight from our underwriter, names your building and management company, and emails it before move day. From a DTLA high-rise to a Koreatown fourplex, our crew knows the drill.
COI and elevator booking
Most high-rises require a reserved freight elevator and an approved COI. Tell us the building; Carmen files the certificate and Aaron reserves the elevator window so your crew isn’t sharing the lift with three other move-ins.
What’s included
- Building COI naming your property manager, no extra fee
- Freight-elevator scheduling and dock coordination
- Pads, wrap, and wardrobe boxes on the truck
- Walk-up carries handled by W-2 movers, not gig labor
How the day goes
- Arrival crew checks in with the front desk and pads the elevator
- Stage boxes carted down to the dock in loads
- Load truck packed tight for the drive across town
- Deliver reverse the process at the new building
What it costs
A one-bedroom apartment usually lands between $695 and $1,050 flat, or $149/hr for two movers with a three-hour minimum. A third-floor walk-up adds time, not a hidden surcharge; we quote the stairs honestly on the phone.
No elevator and a fourth-floor walk-up in an old Hollywood building? That’s a stairs job, and we price it straight. Compare a plain local move, or if your lease gap leaves you homeless for a week, look at storage between closings. Andre answers when you call for a quote.
