I'd suggest looking at crane rental companies in the area - they usually will 
rent the crane with an operator.  A big use in SoCal is moving HVAC stuff on 
and off the roof of a building. Another popular use is taking a swimming pool 
insert and putting it in the back yard.   

A casual google turns up "The Crane Guys" and "Mr. Crane"  and a bunch of 
others.

The rental companies will know what kind of crane you need to reach over the 
house (which is what I assume you need).  They'll also have riggers if you need 
them. 

If you're brave, you can rent the crane and operate it yourself.   Rabbit fast, 
Turtle slow, on all the controls. Make sure you know where the brake release 
is, and what the limits on boom angle for your load are. 


If I had to guess, I'd say this is a $1000 kind of job. (the crane is a few 
hundred an hour, probably)
