What Sets Us Apart
Seven Reasons to Trust Your Move to Us
Anyone can rent a truck. Here is what 50 years and four generations of doing it right actually looks like.
Four Generations of Accountability
Founded in 1973 and still owned and run by the Stratton family, now into its fourth generation. The same name has stood behind every move for over 50 years — that continuity means real accountability, not a rotating cast of franchise owners.
White-Glove Specialists, Not a Commodity Mover
We are built around high-value, high-care work — fine art, antiques, designer furnishings, and full estates. Custom crating, air-ride equipped vans, and temperature-controlled transport available for sensitive pieces set us apart from volume movers.
Fully Licensed & Insured
Verifiable, current credentials: US-DOT 567650, MC 277058, and California PUC MTR0190815. We are a properly authorized interstate and intrastate carrier — not a broker that hands your move to someone else.
In-House Crews & Owned Trucks
Your move is handled by trained Stratton and Sons crews on our own well-maintained, air-ride equipped trucks — not day labor or a truck rented for the day. Consistent people and equipment mean consistent results.
Secure Chatsworth Storage
Our own monitored warehouse in Chatsworth gives us end-to-end control — short- or long-term storage between moves, during a remodel, or while a home is sold or settled, all under the same roof and the same care.
A 4.9-Star Track Record
Over 50 years we have earned a 4.9-star rating across 60+ reviews from LA families, interior designers, and estate professionals who trust us with their most valuable belongings.
We Know LA’s Toughest Moves
Canyon roads, gated communities with strict HOA windows, hillside estates, and high-rise buildings that require advance certificates of insurance — our crews navigate the logistics of greater Los Angeles every day.
