Ted, Robert and the whole inside moves team were INCREDIBLE. They made our move feel like a breeeze. From the very get go ted ( the owner) was involved in organizing and project managing our move. Leading up to the move he explained exactly what to expect, the timeline, and how we should prepare. Several days before the move Ted called to check in with us and reconfirm. The day of the move the crew showed up perfectly on time and were extremely communicative. They took great care to make sure things were packed and labeled and organized. The day of the move went smooth and they even helped us configure our new home. Overall I could not be more pleased and will recommend them to any and everyone I know. read more

Love Ted, Robert and the team at Inside Moves Relocation Services. From the walk-through to the move it was seamless. Everyone was professional, considerate and finished under the expected time frame and the even packed for us! The customer service is the best. They are trust worthy so the value of what they do is priceless! Felicia read more

Inside moves moved us from our small condo into a house and the service was flawless. Also, we missed some paperwork with our HOA to have the truck on site and Ted (owner) fixed it all so fast making up for our mistake and kept the move on track. Amazing !! Moving is the worst, inside moves is worth every penny! read more

I have been using the same movers for my last 5 moves. I was so disappointed with my last move that I decided to try someone new. I booked my daughter's move with Ted Cotter, Owner of Inside Moves, from two locations (our home and her storage unit) to her new apartment. The guys assigned to our move were professional, friendly, fast and efficient. Just to add some excitement to the day, it was raining! Robert, Sergio and Alex went above and beyond to make this move go smoothly. I wanted to buy everyone lunch, but they were so fast, the job was finished way before lunchtime!! I highly recommend! Never have I gotten an estimate and ended up paying on the low end at the end of a job. read more

I've used Inside Moves 21 times (so far). The most difficult move was moving a short distance to a house that was 1/3 the size of my original house, AND not having enough time to pack. Ted sent a crew over the day before the move and they PACKED UP MY HOME. I just couldn't get it all done on my own. The other two adults in the house were older and couldn't help. They came the next day to move stuff. First they moved the things that needed to go to the new house - this took all day. They came back the next morning to move all the items I needed to put into storage. Then they came back to my old house again and picked up all the things that needed to go to Goodwill. They took everything to Goodwill and mailed me the donation receipt. This was like having a bunch of husbands helping me get stuff done. I was SO grateful for the help and the emotional support; I was so overwhelmed. I found Inside Moves when I needed help moving my son to his first apartment, and I've been calling on them every since for another move for my son, for taking furniture I was giving away to friends of my mom or to my sisters place. Helping my daughter move 9 times for school and work. Helping my sister move 6 times. When I hire Inside Moves, I know what I'm getting and I know approximately what the cost is (unless we go into extra hours, which happened several times). They have been prompt, friendly, and as careful as possible. That's why I keep calling them. I think the next time I move will be the last time I move, and I know who I'm gonna call. read more

My husband and daughter hired Ted with Inside Moves to pack up my daughter and move her to another apartment. They did the most amazing job! Between college, grad school, and moving back to LA- we have dealt with a boat load of movers in the past- all with issues (damaged items, not arriving by promised dates, etc.). Not the case with these guys! They were on time, super efficient, incredibly organized with the packing, labeling everything, and all made it to new place without a hitch! Could not recommend them enough! Thank you again Ted and crew! read more

Spoke to someone on the phone named Ted to get a quote and he sounded quite bothered that he received a call 30 minutes after they opened. He sounded completely uninterested in the call, maybe the wrong person to take calls. Chose to not use this company, if the greeting is condescending that's only signs to come if you hire. read more

If you need a mover, Inside Moves is the company to call. their professionalism, from the first meeting to the final item, was great. The owner, Ted Cotter, provided the original estimate and my payment was right on target. Even before moving day, I received several useful emails with suggestions to make my move smoother. On moving day, the team of Sergio, Moises, and Danny G. arrived on time and set to work loading the truck. No wasted motion, no dawdling -- each knew his role and performed it. Because I use a walker, they loaded the wardrobe boxes for me (and unloaded them at my destination) -- a great help. The truck was loaded quickly and efficiently and they were off to my new residence. They continued to work quickly and carefully unloading my stuff. The crew was well-trained and friendly. And they were so nice. I couldn't have asked for a better group. Everything was in the same condition it had been in at my old residence and placed where I wanted it in my new one. I would highly recommend Inside Moves to anyone making a local move. I received great value for my expenditure. Susan K. read more

Accuracy . Attitude. Company ethics . Those would all be areas in need of improvement. I would not recommend this business to anyone I like . I probably wouldn't even recommend this business to someone I don't like . A negative experience with the actual movers that was only drawn-out by the owner's self-absorption and incompetence. read more

Ted and team were absolutely a pleasure from start to finish. I have no complaints on service or the team. They were careful quick and really invested in providing great service start to finish. Ted was great. Communicative thorough, patient and wonderful to deal with. The one minor suggestion that i have is not to over estimate that cost of the job as much as ted does. I certainly understand that it's better to over estimate rather than underbid and have to raise prices at the end of the job. Rather than what happened which was a high estimate followed by an actual price that was probably less than his competitors. The pricing ted gives is certainly not the least expensive and we were pleasantly surprised by the actual dollar amt of the job at the end of the day. Im jot sure its possible to give a truer estimate in all cases, and I understand that most customers might underestimate how complex moving is but i have to say dont be scared or shocked by ted's initial estimate. If you are straight with them, These guys are fair. Quick and honest. If you want your move done right with NO unpleasant surprises. Inside moves is definitely the right place to go. The crew, Robert, sergio, ernesto, marvin and moses were the most professional group of movers ive ever met. They 100% have my thanks snd my loyalty. Stelle Smith read more

These guys are amazing! Moved my folks from a very large home to assisted living flawlessly. Robert, Ted and the entire crew were professional throughout. Nothing was damaged. Packing was impeccable. They were efficient and caring. I have moved a lot in my life and NOTHING compared to this team. HIGHLY recommend them. Thank you! read more

I'm so thankful for Inside Moves, I called about a cross country move and got multiple referrals to some of the most professional movers I've ever spoken to. This business is so incredibly helpful, I very much appreciate their integrity and the complimentary resources. Thank you Inside Moves! read more

Based on the referral of a family member who is very discerning, I recently utilized Inside Moves for my long distance move. They were able to book me immediately and without requiring a deposit or a hard commitment. I did not need to adjust the date and time of my move but I appreciated the option without an additional cost since I was waiting on my new home build to be completed. The men facilitating my move were professional and generally efficient. They appeared to work well as a team and although I understand there to be a foreman who oversees the move, they all worked together to ensure we moved forward in a timely manner. I appreciated that my move was wrapped at a reasonable time (roughly end of the business day) even with an hour and forty minute drive to the new property. If you exclude the drive to the new property, the overall time spent moving was just over five hours to move my two bedroom apartment into my new house. Worth noting, I was moving out of an apartment on the second floor of a Hollywood complex with a small elevator and limited room to maneuver. Both Ted and Melanie ensured they followed up post move to gather feedback and ensure my happiness and satisfaction as a customer. Most companies do not follow-up and I think that concierge customer service is becoming a feature of the past so it was really lovely to experience. read more

I don't want to bother being another 5star review. Just read the rest of en and I agree. Good, honest, hard work is really, truly, out there Brin performed by people you want to support. read more

Wow... Ted Cotter and his crew are amazing! I purchased a piano... Yes I know, a piano, without thinking it all through.. and was just so excited to bring an instrument back into my life, I completely forgot about how I'd actually get it across the valley and to my house. With a referral from a friend, I called Inside Moves and spoke with Ted. He gave me a great price. I told him my schedule was pretty flexible. He even coordinated the pick up with the owner of the piano. (Another thing I forgot had to happen LOL) They know their stuff! On the day of the move, the driver called me when he was near my house. The guys were so professional and friendly. The piano was wrapped up with moving blankets and protective wrap. (Lord knows I wouldn't have put that much care and effort into it had I done the move myself) The guys put on foot coverings before coming inside my house. They even removed and screwed back on the music stand, which was wrapped separately during transport. The move was so smooth, the guys were so professional, Ted was incredibly friendly.. I can't imagine ever using another company! Don't waste your time being nickel and dimed by all those other company's. This company is straight up honest and worth every penny. A++ Highly recommend! read more

Inside moves did a great job doing to heavy lifting. The guys did a great job even though we, ourselves were not ready. They did a lot of boxing on the fly. Something got damaged, I notified the owner within 24 hours after the move. He already had someone to adjust it within 48 hours and it was repaired. Things happen. We moved from a tri-level townhouse to a single story. If I/we ever move again I will definitely call inside moves. read more

If you are doing any kind of move, within your house shifting furniture as we had to do multiple times during a remodel, or, from one location to another - these are your guys! From the fist call for an estimate, to the multiple engagements - there was respect, communication, empathy (very necessary at one point) and also some vital problem solving to deal with us living thru the remodel and how we could do that best in the confines of multiple furniture pieces moved/bundled together. We could not have withstood this project without inside moves. special shout out to Ted - the "leader," Robert the onsite manager and all the other guys who helped. Pricing was quite reasonable. I highly recommend! I also posted this on yelp - I cannot read more

Based on our experience, I would not recommend this company for moving services. I got the impression that the owner chooses profits over integrity. They came recommended to us from a loved a trusted source so we hired them for a recent move despite the used car salesman vibe we got during the estimate. They over promised and underdelivered. They committed to having a 6 person crew on the day of our move but the 6th person "called in sick" the day of. Which led to several hours of 'overtime pay.' We called the owner to see if he would work with us on pricing and charge the high end of what his estimate was, and he said, "fine if you want to take food from my family's table." We insisted on paying full price at that point as a matter of principle. We called several times afterwards to report damage to some of our belongings from the move but they never answered or got back to us. We are pretty disappointed in our experience with this company. read more

Ted and his crew provided seemless care from beginning to end. Moving from my office to my home could have been really difficult. It was not. Extreme care was taken with organization, packing and delivery. The workers went above and beyond in helping us put tarps and packing material to protect the furniture still outside. We could not have asked for more! read more

Inside moves did an outstanding job in moving us. Their people were efficient, fast and careful . I would recommend them highly

From on time arrival to packing and handling properly all the furniture and house items to delivery and placement in the new house, no damage, all done in the rain no less, Inside Moves is the company that I am happy on counted on for all my moving purposes, now I know why they come highly recommended, Thanks Inside Moves! read more

We had a great experience with Ted & his 6 man crew. Our 6 hour short distance (Encino - Woodland Hills) move went seamless! They were communicative from start to finish. These guys were respectful of property and went above & beyond. The price range was on target from the beginning and overall we believe the price was fair & honest. I will use them again! read more

Inside Moves in Reseda is the best moving company you can hire! I give them 10 stars! Chris and his team (Danny and Tebo) arrived on time. They were caring, kind, professional and fast. I was unorganized and overwhelmed to the point of tears. Chris stepped right up and said not to worry, they would take care of everything, and they did! I had stuff that had to go to my new apartment and to storage. They completed the move quickly and nothing was broken or damaged! Chris checked in with me often to make sure I was ok. Thank you for being great guys and great movers. God really blessed me that day. The people in the office were super as well, especially the owner, Ted Cotter. Thanks y'all!! read more

My recent experience with Inside Moves was absolutely first class. Ted and Melanie were fabulous when it came to scheduling, planning, an confirming the details of my move, and the 3-person crew who helped me move from a duplex in which I'd lived for 8 years (and had accumulated quite a ton of stuff!) into a second story fourplex was absolutely outstanding. They were all incredibly kind, arrived promptly, and were machine-like in their efficiency - what had taken me days to pack into boxes was carried out to their truck in what felt like the blink of an eye, and they even helped me pack up loose artwork (which fit perfectly and safely into wardrobe boxes), which I had anticipated I'd need to return for as multiple separate carloads on my own (I'd figured they'd be too difficult and piecemeal to take along with the truckload of boxes, and was delighted to have the team find such a clever solution!). They were incredibly careful and thoughtful when unloading everything, and hand-carried everything up the stairs to my new apartment, noting that they didn't want to use a dolly and inadvertently harm the original hardwood floors of the historic building. Moving is inherently stressful, and Inside Moves made the physical process as seamless and easy as humanly possible (and their pricing was super reasonable on top of everything) - I can't recommend them highly enough, and my family and friends will definitely use them for any future moves! read more

Full disclosure, I had never hired a mover before, always did it myself. I was so nervous, esp. as moving vintage fashion. But Inside Moves, recommended to me by a dear friend - was amazing. Despite my OCD worrying, Ted, Melanie, Robert & Sergio were as kind as could be. Ted came up with the best solution for moving my smallish amount of things from Pasadena to Denver, (as a matter of fact 4 solutions!) when all the other moving companies had one way they would do it or not do it at all, especially as we were moving from a storage unit. Robert, the mover, even took a picture of my things packed and I they arrived in that exact configuration. Since my business is growing, I'm going to need to be moving items again, and will always contact them first. Thanks y'all for making my move the least stressful it could be aka a move that "Feels like a Holladay"! : ) read more

Ted and the entire team at Inside Moves were fantastic, absolutely the best. My new home was not ready and I needed to move to a furnished short term rental and Ted the owner arranged everything with PODS to store my things. He was absolutely a wonderful. The team arrived on time and were very professional, polite and professional. Thank you Inside Moves and the team at PODS read more

This is the second time we've used Inside Moves to help with our family's home move. Jay, Ted, Robert, Melanie and the team took very good care of us, and the move went extremely smoothly. They over communicated, which we appreciate greatly, confirming all the details were exactly right. On the day of the move, they came on time (and actually was even a bit early). They worked efficiently and quickly and was always very careful with our belongings. We definitely recommend them and would absolutely call them again for any future moves. read more

We are so glad we selected these movers! Inside Moves Relocation is by far the best moving company in Los Angeles. These guys are professional movers who do the job right. We had a fantastic, stress free move. Ted and his crew are professional and friendly. We purchased a new construction home and were very stressed about the move. We have honed marble floors and pretty big furniture. We wanted to make sure the movers would listen to our needs and concerns about our floor and our wood stairs ( we were scared the furniture would scratch the floors and the stairs). Ted's guys came down, packed our fine China carefully, and made sure to plastic wrap the mattresses and even had big blankets for the some of the fragile items like our TV. They even had extra boxes for us. Within a few hours they loaded the items and unloaded our furniture in our new location with the utmost care. These guys are the real deal. We are extremely pleased with their service and will 100% use them again. Thank you Ted and crew! read more

Probably the first thing to note is that Jay came out to do an in person review and estimate of the cost and resources needed to do the packing and loading of our containers. He even assured us that the number of containers we had would be adequate for our move. (Most other packers would only do an "over the phone" estimate based upon what we said which gave me no confidence at all!) Then, Robert came and led the team to successfully pack our stuff (day 1) and load into the containers (day 2). He packed the containers assuring us that they would be within the weight limits and everything would fit. Indeed it did! They came in under budget and under time! Everyone we dealt with were very good spirited, friendly and respectful of our home. I cannot think of a single thing they could do to improve our experience. I will recommend them to all I can! read more

Giving a 4 star rating because sophisticated readers will discard 5 star and 1 star- so 4 is really the best that can be given that will actually be read. (See article in 10/1/19 WSJ on ratings-although about products gives good guidance). I am a professional and was certain this would be a terrible event (moving from home of 46 yrs.). I was suspicious, and wary-this group of gentlemen are the very best each one had what could be describe as good character. They were kind, understanding, and reasonably priced. Our initial quote was for 2 days, and it actually took 3days, yet the price was approximately $1000 less than the original quote by Ted (fabulous person, someone you want to know maybe have over for the Holidays). I was fortunate enough to have Robert assigned to my crew (everyone was wonderful), Robert set the tone was a fabulous. Even when I would subsequently decide a heavy chest was in the wrong place. No scowls or judgements. We are still working with Tony- who will hang you art and TVs. These guys made what I anticipated would be a horrible event- fabulous (remarkable to say that about this move but true). And, oh they packed me also- they can pack you better than you can and I had the bubble wrap, moving paper, and boxes (more than 60), blue and green masking tape. They did a better job by far, and they are fast. The third day involved moving my massive garden/pool furniture and potted plants which took up an entire truck. I can not give them a higher recommendation- outstanding. I just noticed the pictures and negative review. All I can say is if you have a random shoe in your things how would they know it has intrinsic importance? (Illan B.'s comments). I believe they were excellent and would not hesitate to recommend them to all my friends...Ted was, well the entire group was extremely professional. read more

Ted was so easy to speak with and very helpful when booking our move. The team called to confirm ahead of time and arrived on time both times we used them! The moving team was very quick, efficient, careful, and didn't hesitate to ask us about certain items and how they should be packed. I've never had such a wonderful moving experience and will definitely be booking with them again! read more

These guys were great! Ted the owner is awesome and the guys are Very fast and extremely helpful, they showed up right on time and got me moved without any issues what so ever. They truly went above and beyond to make my move as easy and fast as possible. 100% would recommend them to anyone who is looking to move read more

Inside Moves was terrific. All the employees were very professional, hard working, careful and courteous. I used them to pack and wrap all our artwork, TV's and furniture and load our pods. I highly recommend them, Ted, the owner was great and always available to answer any questions. Thank you! read more

Inside Moves has been reliable, reasonable, and very helpful for my moving needs. So much so that I am using them again for another move that I had scheduled right after one that I just finished a week ago! read more

I hired Inside Moves in 2019 to pack up my home and move the contents into a Mission Hills storage location, as I was relocating to the Westside and renting my Granada Hills house. The movers did a great job ensuring nothing broke and completing the move within the scheduled timeframe. Additionally, the movers brought several large items to the westside at the end of the day, and graciously helped me move them into the house - no damage at all! I highly recommend Inside Moves for your packing and moving needs. read more

I was worried that this firm might be too expensive, but after I saw how carefully and quickly they worked, it was worth it. I was referred to Ted by a mutual friend that works in the industry, and Ted is the consumate professional. He asked a lot of questions about my needs and our time table, and took careful notes. The crew came the day before and carefully wrapped and boxed everything. On moving day, they arrived with six guys and quickly packed up the truck, moving it to my new home. I like how they worked as a team, communicating what needed to be done, but also, keeping the energy up, and sounding like they enjoyed working together. I highly recommend Ted & Inside Moves for anyone that wants to be sure their prized possessions are safe and sound. read more

When we first hired this company, we went thru the house with the business owner and thought it was understood how important many items were to us and we were reassured that we would be getting quality service. And we originally gave this company a 5 star review based on what we thought was a job well done. Well, lesson learned here. Sometimes you have to wait for the finished product and boy a hard lesson it is. Now mind you, we understand that you take your chances when you move, but when someone claims they know what they and their crew are doing and even allowing for human error, manage to do exactly the opposite of what was agreed on then their is an issue, especially when the company answers your complaint with the following "As to having movers sort and decide what was important to you, that's not what movers do. Movers are not responsible for hanging clothes in wardrobes that are not on hangers. If clothes were in not on hangers, they went in boxes. I'm sorry you feel your goods didn't receive the respect they should, but our job was to contain and move. Not clean, not sort, not put things away. We had no choice but to pack what was there as is."-- Ted Cotter. So they had no choice but to pack things as is? They had a choice to tell us this in the beginning not after the fact and What happened to full disclosure perhaps something in writing "We reserve the right to pack things the way we deem fit like it or not"? He knows had he fully disclosed the true score before taking our business he probably would not have gotten it. Well is this not a far cry from Inside Moves "WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE US" claim -------------------------------------------------------- " 2. Peace Of Mind We Care about Your Stuff More Than You do! At Inside Moves, we not only provide the best prices for highly skilled and experienced movers, but as professional moving company in Los Angeles we also take the utmost care of your belongings as if they were our own! We utilize our experience and expertise to move your products quickly and safely." " 4. FREE Walk Through As a finishing touch, Inside Moves will also provide a complete walk through at both the pickup and delivery locations, to make sure that everything is perfectly in place. The sign of a good moving company is knowing that they did not leave a mark or make a mess while moving. Our men will not only treat you and your goods with respect, but your property as well." The sad fact is as I said, human error is one thing. But the situation is way above human error to total disregard. Maybe they treat their valuable private property like this and therefore think everyone else does I dont know, but what we talked about the owner and what we got are East and West. The worst part is that based on his email responses the owner thinks that he did nothing wrong. Its everyone else's doing but his. That he did not explain that contrary to what he now claims, how everything ends up in boxes is not his problem. read more

I called Ted up (we had met once and talked dogs), as I'd just gotten married and my husband was moving in. Ted's crew was very nice, efficient, and packed away everything just perfectly. They were as safe as possible since there's a pandemic going on, and were a delight to work with. Their price was competitive and we will definitely use them next time we move. read more

I have used Inside Moves to move my mom two times over the last few years from one retirement community to another. They are always awesome! They pack carefully, they are efficient, and when we get to the new place they unpack and take away all the boxes. It makes it easy for me to move my mom and set her up within the same day! I worked with Robert and Sergio. They were great! The office people are super nice and accommodating too. I highly recommend them, and would use them again for myself! read more
