At Grace Moving Company, our Graceful Transitions approach to moving is quite different. We pride ourselves in taking a look at the “big picture” surrounding every move situation by providing a supportive environment in which a family or individual can transition, with grace, into a new home.
Grace Moving Company has been working with families throughout California for over 20 years. We know what it takes to move your belongings safely, securely and on budget. Whether you’re moving across town or across state, we’ve done it before.
Our experience has taught us that moving is much more than having the right equipment and a few strong people to move furniture. It’s about making a change, whether it’s a few houses down or across the state. However big or small your move, you can count on Grace to get you there.
Grace began more than a decade ago serving just one retirement community, assisting seniors during transitional times. We were (and still are) especially sympathetic to the grief and stress that sometimes accompanies moving into a new environment. Grace soon developed a reputation in the community for offering excellent service at a reasonable price.
Over time, Grace expanded into all aspects of moving, keeping excellent service as a top priority. Grace Moving Company is owned and operated by Christian, working owners who are involved in all moving operations. This personal ownership involvement assures that each move is done with careful consideration and attention to your individual needs and valuables.

Moving Homes
Moving into a new, larger home may be very exciting and positive while at the same time leaving a community behind to start new somewhere else can be discouraging and overwhelming. Moving is also very labor intensive, exhaustive, and certainly a testing process!
At Grace Moving, our Graceful Transitions approach to moving is different. We pride ourselves in taking a look at the “big picture” surrounding every move situation by providing a supportive environment in which a family or individual can transition into a new home. Or experience has taught us that moving is much more than having the right equipment and a few strong people to move furniture. We understand the personal challenges associated with a household move and place a high priority on making sure every effort is made, before and during the transition, to assist the people involved as they work through the move process.
At Graceful Transitions, it is our desire to help people move their lives, not just their “stuff” Whatever move situation or challenge you are facing, we can help and we can make a difference. Give us a try!
Moving Apartments
While the overall scope is usually small, moving into an apartment or small town-home can be a daunting challenge. Apartments are unique and each instance poses a different challenge. A graceful transition into an apartment unit requires flexibility and good planning.
As you prepare for your apartment move, careful consideration of space versus items required is vital. Apartments are small, efficient dwellings that, when setup properly, can be wonderful homes. On the other hand, an over-packed and cluttered apartment can be frustrating and difficult to manage.
Graceful Transitions understands the challenges and opportunities associated with moving into an apartment unit and that is why we assign an experienced Apartment Move Specialist to provide expert advice and planning services. We will help you assemble a practical move plan and will provide the assistance and direction you need for your move. Also, we will use our years experience to help you identify what items may need to be moved, stored, or sold in the process.
In some cases, people move into apartments as a result of circumstances beyond their control. This may be the result of a foreclosure, job change, or major relocation. When a family is required to move from a larger home into a smaller apartment or townhouse, several issues can arise. Our Apartment Move Specialists understand these dynamics and provide personal assistance beyond just moving “stuff”. We will keep your move on schedule while maintaining a discrete sensitivity to the emotional challenges that are sometimes associated with moving into a smaller home.
Young people often prefer apartment housing because of lower cost, less maintenance, and convenient locations. While most young people travel light they often overlook the necessary items when starting a new home. A graceful transition into an apartment can be greatly improved with a consultation from one of our move specialists. We can help you ensure that your new apartment will have everything you need and hopefully save you time and money by recommending the essentials of apartment living.
Whatever the case may be, Graceful Transitions is here to help you make your apartment home a place you can enjoy for many years. We promise to provide you with precision planning, thoughtful preparation, and ordered execution that will make your move a success.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Items of extraordinary value such as jewelry, money, antiques, and stamp collections
can be included in your shipment, provided that you notify your local moving representative
of these items before packing and moving day. It is strongly recommended that you carry
irreplaceable and expensive articles with you, or make alternate arrangements for their
transport.
In the moving industry, items worth more than $100 per pound are considered to be articles
of "extraordinary value.” To be assured that a claim involving these articles is not limited
to minimal liability, complete and sign your mover's high-value inventory form.
Also, be sure to sign the "Extraordinary Value Article Declaration" box, if applicable, on
your Bill of Lading.
Each mover has a slightly different procedure to follow as it relates to high-value items.
Ask your relocation specialist to provide you with an explanation of their company's process.
This is a confusing (but important) task, so be sure that you clearly understand the rules
prior to load day.
Appliances such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators must be disconnected, and the washer
must have a stabilizer installed. Again, your estimator can help you understand how these
items are properly serviced. All local moving companies have business relationships with
local service providers that handle this type of service, however full service moving
companies and national moving companies will also be able to provide all of the moving
services you require. Be sure you know who your mover will be using, as you will need to let
these people into your home to provide the service.
