Downey moves start next door for us, literally: our home city of Norwalk is bordered by Downey (norwalk.org, 2026), so the crew and the 24-ft truck begin the day in the city next door rather than across the county. Estimates are free, online or by phone at (818) 391-8215, seven days a week, 8am to 8pm.
Movers serving Downey cover a city of an estimated 108,468 people (U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, 2025) packed into 12.41 square miles at 9,215.5 people per square mile (2020) (U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, 2020). Compact city, full calendars: most Downey jobs are homes trading up, trading down or crossing to a neighboring city.
AG Moving&Storage is family-owned, in business since 2021, and quotes every Downey move in writing before the work starts.
Family homes are the shape of Downey moving. The city's 34,876 households (2020-2024) average 3.15 persons per household, with an owner-occupied rate of 51.1% (U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, 2024). More people per home means more rooms, more boxes and more furniture with a history.
We size crews for that honestly: the baseline is 2 movers with a 24-ft truck, and larger homes get 3-4 movers, priced into the free written estimate. With a median owner-occupied home value of $796,600 (2020-2024) (U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, 2024), the blankets, wrap, door shields and floor runners that come free with every quoted move are not decoration.
California has no single hourly rate for movers; every licensed company sets its own, which is why the useful question is what goes into the number. Ours goes together in the open: hourly and quote-first, crew size times hours, with the crew that suits the home priced into the free written estimate.
Review the travel calculation in your written estimate.
Hidden costs on a cheap two-hour booking usually arrive as add-ons: materials billed by the roll, stair and long-carry fees invented on the day, drive time appearing after the fact, and a minimum that quietly doubles. The advertised rate was never the price.
Our answer is structural: wrap, tape, blankets, door shields, floor runners and wardrobe boxes come included at no extra cost; drive time and access are priced into the free written estimate. For household moves within California, check the written scope and not-to-exceed amount. Read the moving costs guide.
Every service runs anywhere in Downey: residential and apartment moving, office moves, packing and unpacking, furniture moving and delivery, labor-only crews and same-day availability. Pianos, pool tables, hot tubs and safes travel as part of your full household or office move.
Storage between homes is crew-handled: we pick up, store and redeliver. And because Norwalk borders Downey, routes to the rest of LA County and Orange County start from a crew that is already close.

The big red flags when hiring movers: no written estimate, no verifiable license numbers, big cash deposits demanded up front, and hourly rates quoted without drive time or access. Verify before you book; our license line, USDOT 3610341 · CA 602741 · MC 1525501, is in the footer of every page, and our free estimate details the agreed work in writing. For a household move within California, check the not-to-exceed amount and any signed changes.
Tipping movers is entirely your choice. Our guidance is 15-30% of the job total (AG Moving&Storage guidance, 2026), split across the crew; against that range, $100 is a strong tip on a small local job and a fair one on a bigger day. What matters more to us is that the job earned it.
Hidden costs usually mean materials sold by the roll, surprise stair or long-carry fees, and drive time added after the job. With us the materials come included and we ask about access at quote time. For a household move within California, check the not-to-exceed amount and any signed changes.
