FRIENDLY,EFFECTIVE METICULOUS HOUSE MOVERS&PACKERS..
Xperienced Movers
— one written flat rate and the same Orange County crew, every Irvine move.
Every mover on our trucks has carried furniture through a UC Irvine dorm stairwell or a Culver Dr loading dock more times than they can count, so a third-floor walk-up or a tight Turtle Rock driveway is nothing new by the time our truck pulls up. Book during move-in or move-out weekend and you still get a same-week slot at no rush premium, plus one written flat rate that doesn’t move once the truck is loaded. No subcontractors, no day labor — the same local crew that quoted your job carries it through the front door.

Why Orange County families keep calling us back
What makes Xperienced Movers different
You get a single number in writing before anything is loaded, and the crew who quoted it is the crew who carries it in. Nothing about that has changed since we opened our doors in 2013.
Crews Who Already Know Orange County
Every mover on our trucks has worked a UC Irvine move-in weekend or an Orange County apartment turn before. Your crew already knows the gate codes up in Newport Coast and which Culver Dr loading docks fill up first, before you finish giving the address.
Same-Week Slots For UC Irvine Move Weekend
Semester turnover doesn’t wait six weeks for a truck, so we don’t either. Same-week slots stay open for UC Irvine move-in and move-out weekends at no rush premium, and Derek still picks up those calls himself.
Licensed With The California PUC
A California PUC household-goods carrier permit and interstate US DOT/MC authority stay current year-round, backed by up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage per shipment — ask for a certificate and a property manager or HOA board has it within the day.
Chase Builds The Board Around The 405 Before A Truck Rolls
405/5 interchange backups, campus loading-dock windows, gate codes for the guard-gated streets up in Newport Coast — Chase works all of it into the day’s truck board before anyone leaves the yard, so your window actually holds.
You Get Priya, Not A Script
Call the office and Priya, or someone straight off the crew, picks up — never a call center reading a script from three states away. Whoever answers can already pull up your date and your crew on the board.

Every truck and every mover riding in it works directly for Xperienced Movers — nothing gets subcontracted mid-job, and nobody on your crew was picked up off a day-labor board that morning. Whether it’s a townhome in Woodbridge, a UC Irvine-area apartment, or a long haul out I-15 toward Las Vegas, the same crew rides with it from your old door to your new one.
Derek Manalo grew up in Santa Ana, the kind of Orange County kid who spent summers riding along on his uncle’s furniture-delivery route before he was old enough to drive the truck legally. His twenties went to running crews for a regional van line out of the Inland Empire, before he came back to Orange County in 2013 to start Xperienced Movers with one rented truck. 13 years on, he still answers the UC Irvine move-weekend calls personally, because semester turnover never waits for anyone.

See details packageFull Packing Service in Irvine
We show up with dish packs, wardrobe boxes, and enough padding for the whole house, wrap it all in one visit, and move it that same week. A kitchen packed by the crew that's about to carry it up the 405 survives the drive.

Take the closets yourself and hand us the kitchen, the garage, and anything breakable. It bills at the same hourly rate as the move, so there's no separate packing price list to work through.

The handling standard on every job
Steps we run before your first box ever gets carried out
A Walk-Through Before Anything Gets Wrapped
Marcus’s crew walks the room with you before a single blanket comes out, logging any scratch or dent a dresser already had. That way there’s no argument later about what the truck actually showed up to find.
We Mask The Doorways Before A Single Box Moves
Corner guards on the frames and a runner down the hall, at both ends of the job, before the first piece comes off the truck — not after somebody clips a wall.
Hardware Bagged And Taped To The Piece
Bed frames, dining tables, cribs — anything that needs to come apart gets taken down, and Tavita’s crew bags the hardware and tapes each bag straight to its piece so nothing goes missing between doors.
Glass And Screens Never Ride Loose
A mirror, a flat-screen, or a framed piece gets its own padded carton before it leaves the room, boxed by the same mover who’ll be the one carrying it in at the other end.
Heavy Furniture Never Gets Muscled Down A Hallway
Anything heavy goes on a dolly with a proper tie-down strap, which earns its keep on the third-floor walk-ups near UC Irvine and the sloped driveways all over Woodbridge.
No Shift Change Mid-Job
Nobody rotates out for a lunch-break replacement — the crew carrying your last box is the same crew that carried your first one out the door that morning.
Beyond Orange County
Where our long-hauls go from Irvine
Ryan drives our long-haul runs personally, from the last box loaded in Irvine to the door at the other end, staying with the load the entire way.

What Irvine says after moving day
★★★★★ 4.9 from 20+ verified reviews
Very professional, amazing movers that actually care
Very efficient and friendly movers!
Can your move date shift a little? Midweek and anything outside UC Irvine move weekend books fastest — ask about it on the call and we’ll steer you toward the lightest day we’ve got open. Short-notice semester-turn moves still jump ahead in line.
Check what’s openHow booking actually works
Three steps, and one crew handles all of them.
01
Tell Priya The Basics
Send Priya both ZIP codes and a rough room count, and a written flat rate comes back the same day — no in-person walkthrough required just to talk numbers.
02
We Lock In Your Date And Name Your Crew
Pick a date and a named crew is booked onto the truck board for you. Need a COI for building management or an HOA? Ours is ready before move day.
03
Loading, Driving, And Carry-In Stay With One Crew
Your crew loads the truck, drives it themselves, and carries everything into the new front door — the flat rate quoted in writing is the number on the final bill.
Straight answers
Irvine questions we hear every week
Are you the actual moving company, or do you broker the job out?
We’re the moving company, full stop. Every truck is titled to Xperienced Movers, every mover on it is on our payroll, and the crew that quotes your job is the same crew that shows up on move day.
Is the estimate free, and can the price still change on move day?
Estimates cost nothing. Priya builds a written flat rate from your two ZIP codes and a rough room count, usually the same day, and that number is what the crew works from at the truck — no surprise fuel line, no hourly creep once you’re loaded.
Are you fully licensed and insured?
Yes — Xperienced Movers is a licensed and insured Irvine mover, registered with the California PUC for household-goods work, carrying up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage per shipment. Ask for a certificate for your building or HOA and it goes out the same day.
Can you still fit us in for a UC Irvine move-in or move-out weekend?
Yes — same-week slots stay open for UC Irvine move-in and move-out weekends at no rush premium. Derek still takes those calls himself, because semester turnover never waits six weeks for a truck.
How much lead time should I give you?
Two to three weeks out gives you the most flexibility, especially around UC Irvine semester turns and month-end. Midweek dates open up faster, and every so often a couple of days’ notice is genuinely enough.
My move-in date shifted after booking, what happens?
A heads-up to our office and the booking shifts with you, or cancels, no fee either way — a Santa Ana wind closure included. Your quote and crew notes stay on file, so a new date never means re-doing the paperwork.
Ready to put a date on the board?
One local crew handles it start to finish, from the call that books it to the last box carried off the truck, and the flat rate in your written quote is the number on the final bill — nothing tacked on once loading starts. Send over your move details and expect a written number back the same day.
