The crew that knows Ceres
Ceres mixes established homes around Central Ceres and Smyrna Park with newer subdivisions on the east side. Wide streets make parking easy, so the real planning is around summer heat and school-zone timing near Whitmore, which we build into your window.

- Easy access, plannedWide Ceres streets keep the truck close and the carry short.

Ceres moving FAQs
Do you serve all of Ceres?
Yes, from Central Ceres to the newer east-side tracts, at a written flat rate. Ceres is minutes from our Modesto yard, so same-week dates open up often.
How do you keep the flat rate from moving?
Your price comes off your actual inventory and access, gets written down, and stays put. As long as the load matches what you described, the number on move day is the number you approved.
Will stairs or heavy items add fees later?
No. A flight of stairs, a long carry, or a piano, pool table, or safe are all worked into the written flat rate before we start, so move day matches what you signed.
Do you take pianos, pool tables, safes, and hot tubs?
We do, and it is built into the flat rate. The heavy, awkward pieces get the right board, dollies, straps, and padding, handled by a crew that has moved plenty of them.
How early should I lock in a date?
A week or two ahead is plenty, though month-ends and weekends go first. When a crew is free we will still take same-week and next-day jobs, so a quick call never hurts.
Is a deposit required?
Only a small refundable one to hold your crew and date. The rest is due when the job is finished, and your written quote never costs a thing.
Want a number you can actually trust?
We will send your written flat rate straight from the McHenry Ave office, usually the same working day.
