Hillside homes and long stairways
Many Silver Lake homes sit above or below the street, reached by long outdoor stairways, and the neighborhood is known for its public stair streets. Carrying a sofa or a dresser down dozens of steps takes planning: we wrap every piece, take apart what will not clear a turn, and send enough movers to relay furniture so the stairs do not stretch the day. Stairs and long carries are never billed as extras on hourly moves.
Narrow streets and permit parking
Hillside streets are narrow and winding, many dead-end without room to turn, and much of the neighborhood has permit parking. We look at the street before moving day, choose a truck that fits and, where a large truck cannot get close, shuttle furniture in a smaller vehicle. Check the posted parking signs on your block and tell us what they say when you book.
Apartments, duplexes and Sunset Boulevard
Closer to Sunset Boulevard and Silver Lake Boulevard, moves are mostly apartments, courtyard buildings and duplexes with exterior stairs and shared driveways. Sunset Junction is busy on evenings and weekends, so weekday mornings are the easiest time to move. Being two miles from our Koreatown office keeps drive time short.
