Movers in Mission Viejo, CA

Mission Viejo was planned and built by one developer, the Mission Viejo Company: the master plan dates from 1964, the first families moved in in 1966, and the city incorporated in 1988. It had 93,653 residents at the 2020 Census. About 71% of its homes are detached houses, against about 54% across the Southern California region, and 39% were built in the 1970s.

The city's own Land Use Element notes that Mission Viejo's topography "is not flat and has considerable slope area", which shows on moving day in sloped driveways and steps up to the front door. The city also has two senior communities, Casta del Sol and Palmia, and about 25,000 homes belong to the Lake Mission Viejo Association.

When you ask for an estimate, tell us how many steps or flights of stairs there are at each home, whether the driveway is steep or the truck has to park on the street, and roughly how far it is from the truck to the front door. On streets 30 feet wide or less, the city may ban stopping on one side (Sec. 12.08.010), so look at the curb in front of the house too.

These details decide the crew size and how long the move takes. Our crews bring blankets, plastic wrap and tape, and furniture disassembly and reassembly are part of the hourly rate.

A vehicle over 25 feet long or 10,000 lb may park on a public street only while it's actively loading or unloading, for up to 72 hours (Sec. 12.08.060). From 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., commercial vehicles over 8 feet tall or 20 feet long can't park in residential zones, except while making a delivery or pickup (Sec. 9.25.030), so plan for the truck to leave once it's loaded. A trailer unhitched from its truck may stay only to load or unload, for up to 2 hours (Sec. 12.08.030).

Residential streets are swept every other week, generally the day after trash day, and the city asks residents not to park on the street that day. If you can, avoid your sweeping day for the move.
