Moving several pieces or a partial load? See Small Moves San Diego — it's built for studios, storage units and partial loads. This page is for one item.
What counts as a single-item job?
- One piece of furniture — a sofa, sectional, dresser, bed, table or desk — moved between any two San Diego County addresses.
- One appliance moved from room to room, home to home, or from a store: washer, dryer, fridge, freezer or range. We move it; disconnecting and reconnecting gas, water or venting isn't included.
- A store, warehouse or Marketplace purchase picked up and placed in your room — see furniture delivery for store pickups.
- A second piece riding along from the same pickup at the discounted extra-piece rate. Several pieces, a room or a partial load is a small move instead.

Built for one item
One-item moving, with a price you can check.
A single dresser or couch does not need the same plan as a whole-house move. Start with the item, its approximate weight and the pickup and delivery ZIP codes. Then provide the street addresses, access details and any extras so we can confirm the full quote.
We priced this service specifically for one-item jobs. The rate is set by the item's weight tier, mileage is billed from mile one at $2/mile, and there is no hourly clock to watch. If a second piece rides along, it's added at the discounted extra-piece rate because the crew is already on-site.

FAQ
Single item moving in San Diego — questions we get.
Will movers move just one piece of furniture in San Diego?
Yes. One item is a normal job for Diamond Hands. Delivery is priced by the item's weight tier plus $2 per mile. Any extra items, assembly or disposal you select are shown in the quote before you confirm.
How much does it cost to move one item in San Diego?
A single item under 100 lbs starts at $120. Items in the 100–200 lb range (most sofas, mattresses and dressers) are $240, and 200–300 lb pieces are $340. Anything above 300 lbs is $2 per pound. Mileage is $2 per mile from the first mile.
Can you move a single item up or down stairs?
Yes. Stairs, tight hallways, elevators and walk-ups are part of the job, not an upcharge line. Tell us the floor and whether there's an elevator when you book so we send the right crew and equipment.
Do you move one item between two homes, or only from stores?
Both. Home-to-home, apartment-to-apartment, storage unit to home, seller to your place — anywhere inside San Diego County. The price depends on the item's weight and the driving distance, not on the type of address.
Can you take my old piece away on the same trip?
Yes. Add disposal to the same order and the crew removes the old item while they're delivering the new one, so you're only paying one trip charge.
Do you handle appliance moving in San Diego?
Yes — washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, ranges and dishwashers, moved between homes or from a store. Appliances are priced the same way as furniture: the weight tier plus $2 per mile. Most full-size units land in the 200–300 lb tier at $340. Disconnect and reconnect of gas, water or venting isn't included — have those capped or ready before we arrive.
What if I'm moving several pieces or a partial load?
This page is built for one item — one couch, one dresser, one appliance. A second piece can ride along at the discounted extra-piece rate, but if you're moving several pieces, a room, or a partial load, our Small Moves San Diego service is the better fit.
