Senior & Downsizing Moves, Paced to the Family

Some families need one day. Some need three. We plan around the one you're on.

This goes directly to Nairi, no forwarding, no queue — she or Eddie calls back the same day to get your North Hollywood move on the calendar and flag anything worth a closer look at the walkthrough.

Downsizing out of a house that’s held decades of a family’s things isn’t a job that fits a rushed moving-day script. Some families need a single focused day. Others need it split over a week with time to sort, decide, and say goodbye to a room at a time.

What Makes Senior Moves Different

  • Sorting time built into the schedule instead of assumed away
  • Family members and adult children often coordinating from out of town
  • Downsizing from a full house into a smaller home or a single room
  • Sentimental items handled with more care than the schedule strictly requires

How Eddie Plans These

Eddie Cabrera’s in-home walkthrough for a senior move usually runs longer than a standard estimate, because the conversation is as much about what’s staying, what’s going to family, and what’s being let go as it is about box count. The crew and timeline get built around that answer, not around a fixed hourly clock.

Move Type Typical Pace
Single-day downsizing One coordinated day, family present start to finish
Multi-day downsizing Sort-and-pack phase separate from moving day, spread over the week

If out-of-town family is coordinating the move by phone, Nairi will loop them into scheduling directly so nobody’s relaying updates secondhand.

What This Service Includes

  • In-home walkthrough with extra time for sorting decisions, not a rushed estimate
  • Schedule built around single-day or multi-day pacing, family's choice
  • Coordination with out-of-town family members through dispatch
  • Careful handling of sentimental and fragile items beyond standard padding
  • Downsizing support for moves into a smaller home or single room
  • Basic released-value protection on every job

What This Service Costs

Crew size sets your hourly rate — $155/hr for two movers, $195/hr for three, $245/hr for four — or if you’d rather book off a written number, Eddie can walk the place first and price it before move day

That hourly rate covers the truck, dollies, furniture pads, and shrink wrap — nothing billed separately: $155 for two movers, $195 for three, $245 for four, and $50/hr for each mover beyond that. A refundable $200 deposit holds your date and comes straight off the final invoice. Every job includes basic released-value protection at no added cost; for anyone who wants more coverage on a specific item, Eddie sets up a full-value quote at your walkthrough.

Questions About This Service

Can the move be spread over more than one day?
Yes. Eddie plans single-day or multi-day pacing depending on what the family needs, sorting and packing separated from the actual moving day when that works better.
How do you handle it if family is coordinating from out of town?
Nairi will work scheduling directly with whoever's coordinating, whether that's the person moving or an adult child managing it by phone from another state.
What if we haven't decided what's staying and what's going yet?
That's normal, and it's part of what Eddie's walkthrough covers. The schedule gets built around the sorting decision, not the other way around.
Is a downsizing move priced differently from a standard local move?
Local downsizing moves still bill by the hour at the crew-size rate — $155, $195, or $245 — the difference is in the pacing and planning, not a separate pricing structure.
Do you help move items to a family member's house as part of a downsizing move?
Yes, splitting a load between a smaller new home and a family member's place is common on these moves — tell Eddie both addresses at the walkthrough.
What Sets Aliance Transportation Services Apart Around North Hollywood

Here’s What Aliance Transportation Services Does Differently Than Most Movers Around North Hollywood

Permitted Through California’s DMV — Not Just A Line On The Website

Household movers working North Hollywood and the rest of the San Fernando Valley have to carry a Household Goods Carrier permit through the California DMV; Aliance Transportation Services keeps it current every year, no lapses. The moment a job crosses the state line toward Nevada, Arizona, or beyond, it’s US DOT and MC authority on file that’s covering the move instead.

You Pick Your Coverage Before The Truck Ever Loads

Basic released-value protection comes standard on every job at no cost. Ask Eddie about full-value coverage at your walkthrough if you'd rather have the higher payout ceiling You hear both options once, at the estimate — nobody's pitching an upgrade halfway down your stairwell with a dresser on their shoulder.

The Walkthrough Builds A Plan, Not Just A Price

Before Aliance Transportation Services existed, Armen spent six years dispatching a 40-truck regional freight fleet, holding drivers to a tracked ETA window on every single run. Eddie brings that same discipline to the in-home estimate — mapping furniture placement, load order, and building access ahead of time: elevator windows, stairwell turns, tight doorways all worked out in advance, so the crew walks in with a plan already set instead of working one out in the truck.

All Twenty-One Of Us Are On Payroll, Not A Rotating Bench

Twenty-one people are on payroll at Aliance Transportation Services, seventeen of them movers running eleven trucks — no day-labor crews brought in when a week gets busy, no subcontractors filling out a truck. Armen built it that way on purpose: a tracked window only holds up if the crew running it actually works for the company that set it.

Every Move Planned Before The First Box Does.

Furniture placement, load order, and building access get worked out at the walkthrough, before anyone touches a box on moving day. Armen Petrosyan started Aliance Transportation Services in 2011 after six years dispatching a 40-truck regional freight fleet, and built that same tracked-window discipline into every household move instead of leaving the schedule to a guess.
