What we do here
Moving and storage in Phoenix
The same full-service company the Coachella Valley has used since 1987, with a branch in Phoenix.
- Local moves — homes and apartments across Phoenix and Scottsdale, with furniture wrapped in moving blankets before it goes on the truck.
- Packing — the whole house, or just the kitchen and the fragile rooms. Our crews also take apart and put back beds and tables, unpack for you and take the empty boxes away.
- Storage — if the new place isn’t ready, tell us when you ask for a quote and we’ll arrange storage until you are.
- Phoenix to the desert, and back — with offices in Phoenix and Indio, a move between the Valley of the Sun and the Coachella Valley is one company at both ends.
- Out of state — as an agent for Wheaton World Wide Moving, we handle long-distance moves from Phoenix to anywhere in the country.
Why us
A moving company, not a broker
- A written estimate first
We look over your move at your home or by video call, and you have the estimate in writing before anything is booked.
- Our employees, our trucks
The people in your home work for Desert Moving Co., and the trucks and equipment are our own.
- A Phoenix branch you can visit
7225 W Roosevelt St, Suite 182, Phoenix, AZ 85043.
Moving between Phoenix and the Coachella Valley
Phoenix and the Coachella Valley are about 250 miles apart on the I-10, and plenty of people live in both: winters in Palm Springs or Palm Desert, the rest of the year in Phoenix or Scottsdale, or the other way round. Because we have a branch in Phoenix and our main warehouse in Indio, a move between the two is planned by one company, with one estimate and one point of contact. If the dates don’t line up, your things can wait in sealed wooden vaults at our Indio warehouse until you’re ready.
Summer and monsoon moves in Phoenix
Phoenix summers are long and hot, and from mid-June to the end of September it’s also monsoon season, when dust storms and sudden downpours can roll in during the afternoon. If your move falls in those months, ask about timing when you book, and tell us about anything that can’t sit out in the heat, such as candles, vinyl records, electronics or plants.
Moving into a community with move-in rules
Many Phoenix and Scottsdale neighborhoods, condo buildings and 55+ communities set rules for moving day: truck size, parking, the hours a crew can work, or a reserved elevator. Ask your association or building manager for its rules before you pick a date, pass them on to us, and we’ll plan the move around them.

Desert moving was a great experience! Abraham gave us a reasonable quote. He was professional, efficient, and easy to work with. During a stressful move to Prescott, Az Jesse & Alfredo were fabulous movers. All of our personal items arrived safe!
I’ve never had a great moving experience before so when moving halfway across the country I was very skeptical of moving companies in general to start out. Though after working with Abraham from Desert moving my view has definitely changed! Abraham helped to answer my countless questions, he was very responsive to my calls and helped accommodate my timing requirements. The movers were also on time to pick up/drop off my items and handled them with great care (and very quickly might I add). Overall would highly recommend using!
I sold my home while out of state. Because of Covid 19 I could not come to supervise and pack up my belongings myself. Desert Moving was recommended to me by a friend.....specifically Joe Gallegos. He handled everything : arranging the pick up, and the storage of my articles. When I was able to return and retrieve my articles, they delivered, as promised, to the address of my choice, all undamaged and in perfect condition. I would recommend them to anyone.
