How we work
Good moves are decided before move day, in the details nobody sees.
- A real scope: access, inventory, and timing documented
- A detailed written quote based on the move scope
- Trained crews with proper materials on every job
- One coordinator reachable from quote to placement
The people on your move
The crew that shows up is our own team, in Impel shirts, working together every week. Same faces, same standards, whether it is a studio in San Francisco or a full office floor in Silicon Valley.
- Uniformed, trained crews - no day labor sent in your name
- Leads who run the move and keep you informed on the day
- Furniture assembly, disassembly, and reinstallation handled in house
- Careful protection of floors, doorways, and elevators at both ends
What we will not do
We do not quote blind, we do not add charges on move day for work we should have seen, and we do not send crews without the protection the job needs.
Where we work
Crews run San Francisco, the Peninsula, Silicon Valley, and Marin daily, with long-distance moves beyond the region under US DOT 3549568.
