Why is senior different in East County San Diego?
East County senior moves are our highest-volume senior segment. Fletcher Hills, La Mesa, Spring Valley, and Lakeside have a generation of original homeowners (1960s-70s purchase) downsizing to assisted-living after 40-plus years in place. We send a patient experienced crew, allow 2-3 day pack-pace, and coordinate with family members typically not living locally. Donation volume runs 50-70 percent of contents; we route to Father Joe's, Salvation Army East County, or Habitat ReStore with tax receipts. Senior discount applies on documented retirement-community moves.

Do you charge for the sort time?
Yes, at the same hourly rate as moving labor. Sort sessions usually run 4 to 8 hours total, spread over 1 to 3 days before the move. Most families find this is the highest-value hours we spend with them: it's the difference between moving 200 boxes versus 80, and the $300 to $600 in sort labor often saves $1,000+ in move-day labor and storage cost.
Where does the donation stuff actually go?
Habitat for Humanity ReStore (San Diego, Escondido, El Cajon) takes furniture, appliances, building materials. AmVets and Salvation Army take clothes, kitchen goods, books. Father Joe's Villages takes household goods for transitional housing. We coordinate the pickups; you get a tax-deductible receipt from each charity.
