Albany Movers
Local, long-distance, apartment and office moving across Albany and the north Alameda County flats, run from our Bay Area hub in San Jose. Licensed and insured, family-run since 2007, working on state permit MTR#0191956 and USDOT#3256910. Nothing here gets brokered out — the Albany crew is Trek’s own, cleared through the California DOJ and the FBI before anyone steps onto a truck.
Quick Takeaways
- Everything is close, nothing is quick: Tight parking, with most addresses a block or two off Solano or San Pablo.
- Flats, duplexes and Solano storefronts: Work inside 100 miles bills hourly or at a rate you agree first, and long distance past that line is flat rate only.
- Padding before boxes: Floor runners on hardwood, rubber stair covers, blanket and shrink wrap, furniture apart and rebuilt.
- Sweep days close a curb: Permit blocks, meters and posted sweeping rules decide where the truck stands, and that decides the carry.
- A camera call before a price: A free walkthrough settles curb, stairs and crew size before any number.
A City of 1.79 Square Miles Plans Differently
Albany runs small. Short drives. The Census Bureau counted 11,324 people per square mile across 1.79 square miles of land, a city you can walk end to end before lunch, and that shapes every part of a moving day here.
Almost no slack sits anywhere else, which is why the hours go to carrying and parking rather than to the road.
Moving Solutions for Any Home or Business in Albany
Pre-war housing, a shopping street and the occasional piano. That is the Albany calendar.
Upper Flats, Duplexes and Pre-War Houses
Albany went up between the 1920s and the late 1940s, which left detached garages down long side drives and stairs that turn at a landing. Only 53.1% of homes are owner-occupied.
Solano Avenue Shops and Small Offices
Load-out waits on the shop, not the crew. Storefronts and small suites go out with stock, fixtures and files boxed and tagged.
Pianos and Oversized Pieces
Uprights go out with the crew loading the rest of the house, and a sofa that won’t take the stair turn comes apart instead. Trek subs nothing.
Crossing Albany Is a Short Drive and a Long Carry
Local means inside 100 miles, and local means it lands that day. Parking is the cost. Not the drive. Getting a full-size truck anywhere near the door on these blocks is what takes the planning, and a whole house is quoted at one guaranteed figure before any of it starts.
Leaving the Bay Area for Good
Past 100 miles the job changes shape. One written figure absorbs labor, fuel, mileage, the truck, travel time and supplies, fixed before loading, and your household rides alone with nothing combined, no warehouse stop and no shuttle. Same faces at both ends.
Our Albany Moving Services
Packing, padding, reassembly and a date nobody chose: the requests almost every Albany house makes, and every one of them sits inside the rate already.
Furniture Protection
Blankets and shrink wrap on everything, included. Doorframes and stairwell edges get padded in the older units.
Expert Furniture Assembly
Beds, wardrobes, dining tables and cribs come apart and go back together the same day. Hardware is bagged and taped to its frame.
Express & After-Hours Moving
Early starts to beat the 405. Evening loads for Bolsa storefronts that can’t afford to close during business hours.
Parking Is the Job Before the Job
Solano and San Pablo carry metered and time-limited stretches. Off Marin, Portland and Buchanan it is the posted signs that decide, so a crew reads them at the walkthrough and takes the side that isn’t getting swept.
What an Albany Move Costs to Book
Nothing gets quoted until somebody has looked at the address.
| Number of movers | Cost per Hour (Cash Rate) | Cost per Hour (Credit Rate) |
| 2 Movers & Truck (Studio, 1 Bedroom) | $120 | $140 |
| 3 Movers & Truck (2–3 Bedrooms) | $160 | $180 |
| 4 Movers & Truck (House, Office) | $200 | $220 |
Every estimate is written down before a single box moves, and the free video walkthrough is where it comes from. What the calendar has left shifts the figure, and so does the season, because the weeks either side of a lease turn are the ones everybody wants.
Why Trek Movers Is Albany's Best Moving Company
A licensed California household mover differs from a van with a website in three checkable ways, and none of the three takes more than a minute to look up.
Priced Without the Add-Ons
All-inclusive. Zero for service, zero for the truck and the gas, zero for bulky items, packing and labor tax. Free estimate too.
Licensed, Insured, Background-Checked
MTR#0191956 sits at the CPUC, USDOT#3256910 at the FMCSA. Cargo cover, workers’ comp, general liability.
A Family Firm, Not a Broker
Family-owned since 2007, 50-plus staff on the payroll, no broker in between. Forbes has placed Trek first in California three years straight.
Albany Moving FAQs
How far ahead should I book around Tet?
Four to six weeks. The February parade runs east on Bolsa from Magnolia and closes the route, and those weekends fill fast across Little Saigon.
Can a full-size truck get down my street?
Down the street, yes. Into the driveway, often not. Many Westminster lots from the 1950s and 60s were built for one car, so crews park at the curb and shuttle instead. That gets planned during the walkthrough.
What does a local Westminster move cost?
Local moves under 100 miles are hourly, $120 to $200 at cash pricing depending on crew size. The itemized estimate comes in writing first.
Is Trek Movers located in Westminster?
No. Crews run in from our Los Angeles hub, down the 405. Travel time sits in the written estimate.
Schedule an Albany Move
Start on camera. A short video call settles the side drive, the turning stair and the permit block, and the crew size follows from whatever it finds there.

I had a great experience using Trek Movers! Their website makes it easy to book a reservation online. They also had great customer service! I reached out to fix a mistake on my moving estimate, and the woman I spoke with on the phone was very kind and helpful! Before my moving day I got an email outlining an itinerary of what to expect day of. I really appreciated the guidance! On the day of, my movers did a walk through of my apartment and gave me a time estimate. They ended up extremely close to their estimate at the end! The movers were fast and efficient and honestly made this stressful day so much better! Thank you!! -

I've always been the type of person to rent my own U-Haul and bribe my friends to help me move, but after my experience with Trek Movers, I'll never go back to trying to move by myself again. — Rates & Service – I had requested quotes from several different companies and Trek Movers had really awesome rates, but it was the service that completely won me over. When I requested a quote, I was immediately taken to an online portal that provided me an estimate based off my room size and then the website also allowed me to add my inventory to give them an even better estimate.

Tim and his crew came highly recommended by a coworker and I can see why. They were professional, they worked very quickly, they work super hard, and they had a great attitude. I would absolutely hire these guys again. -

These guys are amazing… our stuff would have taken us weeks to move and they managed to move it all in 2 days, and in a heat wave no less! Thanks guys, that took a lot of the stress off of us! -

We highly recommend Trek Movers to anyone looking for a locally owned and professionally run moving company. We hired Trek for our house move from San Francisco to Los Angeles. The kindness and responsiveness I experienced with them in every interaction on the phone, in emails and in person was a relief during a very stressful situation. Our team of movers were incredibly hard working and patient with filling the truck with several objects that weren't square and organically shaped as well as some heavy workshop machinery from our garage that don't make packing a truck easy.
