"Justin and Azamat were outstanding from start to finish. They showed up on time, got straight to work, and moved everything quickly but carefully — wrapping furniture, handling heavier items like our couch and freezer with no issues, even with stairs at both locations. Nothing was damaged and they placed everything exactly where we asked. If you're looking for reliable movers in Orange County, I'd definitely recommend SMG Movers & Cleaning LLC."

Why Orange County Families Choose SMG Movers & Cleaning LLC
Honest Hourly Pricing
What we quote is what you pay. Labor-only rates start at $109/hr; moving service with our 26-ft truck starts at $119/hr cash. Truck moves include blankets, dollies, hand trucks, and shrink wrap. No stair fees. No long-carry fees. No mystery add-ons on move day. The price we tell you on the phone is the price you pay when the job is done.
Locally Owned & Operated
SMG Movers & Cleaning LLC is a family business. The owner, Justin, is on jobs personally and answers calls himself. When you book SMG, you're hiring a local OC family with our reputation on the line — not a national franchise sending whichever crew is available. You'll get the owner's cell number for your move day.
Local OC Crews, Not Subcontractors
We're based in Irvine and we hire local. Our crews live where they work — they know the apartment complexes in Tustin, the high-rises in Costa Mesa, the gated communities in Mission Viejo. No contractors, no day labor pulled off Craigslist. Real people you can trust in your home.
Same-Week Availability
Most Orange County movers book 2–3 weeks out. We hold open slots for same-week moves so when your lease ends Saturday or your closing date moves up, you're not stuck. Call us — there's a good chance we can fit you in this week.
Complete Moving Services Across Orange County
SMG Movers & Cleaning LLC handles every type of move in Orange County — from a studio apartment in Irvine to a 4-bedroom home in Newport Beach to a full office relocation from Costa Mesa to San Diego. Whatever you're moving, we bring transparent hourly pricing, careful crews, and dependable on-time service.

Residential Moving in Orange County
Apartment moves, condo moves, single-family homes, and luxury residential relocations anywhere in OC. Our crews are trained for tight stairwells, high-rise elevators, gated community check-ins, and the careful furniture handling that premium Orange County homes need. Every move is planned around your inventory and access, with transparent hourly billing and free furniture disassembly and reassembly.

Apartment Moving Specialists
We specialize in apartment moves across Irvine, Tustin, Costa Mesa, and the surrounding OC cities. Studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom — we know the layouts, the elevator policies, the loading zones, and the building management requirements at the major Orange County apartment complexes. Faster, smoother apartment moves than crews who don't know the local properties.

Commercial and Office Moving
Office relocations, retail moves, and small business moves across Orange County. We work after hours, weekends, and overnight to minimize downtime. We handle workstation disassembly and reassembly, coordinate elevator reservations with building management, and can phase moves over multiple days for larger offices. Confidential, fast, and minimal interruption to your business.

Packing and Unpacking Services
Full-service packing, partial packing (just fragile items, kitchens, or wardrobes), or unpacking at your new place — your call. We bring all packing materials, label every box by room and contents, and can unpack at your destination so you're settled into your new place the same day. Packing is billed at the same hourly rate as your move.

Loading and Unloading Services
Already rented a U-Haul, POD, or moving container? We offer loading and unloading services without the truck rental. Our crew shows up, loads or unloads your container or rental truck professionally, and you pay only for the labor. Common for cross-country moves where you've hired a separate driver, or container shipments through PODS or 1-800-PACK-RAT.

Did your mover fail to show up, or did your closing date suddenly move up? We maintain flexible daily dispatch capacity for emergency and same-day moving throughout Orange County. Speak directly with Justin for immediate quote confirmation and rapid truck dispatch.

Junk Removal & Disposal
Decluttering before your move or need old mattresses, broken couches, and garage clutter hauled away? We provide prompt, eco-friendly junk removal with donation drop-offs, local recycling, and responsible disposal bundled right alongside your move.

Meet Justin (Zhassulan) — Founder of SMG Movers & Cleaning LLC

Justin · Irvine, CA
SMG Movers & Cleaning LLC is a family-owned, owner-operated business founded in Irvine by Justin, an Orange County local who immigrated to California from Kazakhstan to build a better life for his family.
After years of seeing friends and neighbors get burned by dishonest movers — surprise fees, late arrivals, damaged furniture — Justin started SMG with one mission: bring honesty back to the moving business in Orange County. Every customer gets the owner's phone number. Every quote has clear, upfront pricing. Every move is treated like he's moving his own family.
Justin is on the road and on jobs personally. When you call SMG, you're talking to the person who owns the company — not a sales rep working off a script. That accountability is what makes SMG different from the franchises and call-center moving companies you'll see on the first page of Google.
format_quote"I started SMG after watching too many friends get burned — surprise fees, no-shows, broken furniture. So I run it different. I answer my own phone. I'm on most of the jobs. The quote is what you pay. That's the whole company."

If the move is taking significantly longer than originally anticipated, our team will communicate with you during the move and keep you informed of the progress.

This typically includes bed frames, standard tables, desks, removable furniture legs, and other basic household furniture.
Please let us know in advance if you have large, complex, custom-built, antique, wall-mounted, or specialty furniture, as some items may require additional time, special tools, or a qualified specialist.
Our movers do not perform structural modifications, carpentry, electrical work, plumbing, or installation of built-in furniture.
Our goal is to safely prepare your furniture for transport and reassemble standard items at your new location whenever reasonably possible.
Basic disassembly & reassembly included — no extra charge.
Is there a Double Drive Time charge?expand_more
For moves where the distance from the pickup location to the delivery location is more than 10 miles, SMG Movers & Cleaning LLC applies Double Drive Time (DDT) to the actual driving time between the two locations.
This means we do not charge the entire move twice. Only the actual driving time from pickup to delivery is doubled.
Example: If the distance is more than 10 miles and the actual drive from pickup to delivery takes 30 minutes, an additional 30 minutes is added to the total billable time.
30 minutes actual drive = 60 minutes billable drive time.
If the pickup-to-delivery distance is 10 miles or less, SMG Movers & Cleaning LLC does not apply Double Drive Time.
All applicable travel charges are clearly explained before the move — no hidden fees or surprises on move day.

Any single item weighing more than 250 lbs is classified as an Extra Heavy Item and is subject to an additional heavy-item fee.
Heavy items must be disclosed before move day. We may request photos, approximate dimensions, weight, information about stairs, elevators, narrow hallways, and other access conditions so we can determine the proper crew, equipment, and safest moving method.
Additional charges for Extra Heavy Items will be communicated before the move whenever the item has been properly disclosed — no surprises on move day.
Important: Refrigerators and other appliances must be disconnected and properly prepared for transport before our movers arrive. SMG Movers & Cleaning LLC does not perform plumbing, gas, water-line, or electrical disconnection/reconnection services.
Extra Heavy Item = Any single item over 250 lbs
Do you disconnect or reconnect washers, dryers, refrigerators, or other appliances?expand_more
