FAQ

Moving to Atwater Village? Good to know.

See all FAQs
We've completed 43 moves in Atwater Village since 2021, not yet enough of each home size for Atwater Village-only prices. Across all our local moves over the last 2 years, a 1-bedroom move usually cost $650 to $1,300 (4 to 7 hours, 2 movers) and a 3-bedroom move usually cost $1,200 to $2,900 (5 to 9 hours, 4 movers), before tips. Stairs, packing and distance move the number, and the quote we give you is the price you pay.
To hold curb space for the truck, yes. What to get: temporary no-parking signs posted by LADOT (City of Los Angeles rules). Issued by: LADOT, Special Traffic Control Division. Request by calling (213) 485-2298; LADOT bills a sign posting fee that can be paid online after the request is made.
Most of our apartment moves here take 3 to 6 hours with 3 movers, based on 16 local apartment moves since 2021. Stairs and the walk to the truck add the most time, so tell us the floor at both ends.
Often, yes. 65% of our Atwater Village moves were booked within a week of moving day, and half were booked 5 days ahead or less. Month-end and weekend dates go first (40% of our moves here fall on a weekend), so call as soon as you have a date.
Some will. Only 23% of homes here are in buildings with 5 or more units, but HOAs and managed buildings often ask movers for a COI. Ask early and send us the requirements; we send COIs the same day.
Electric: LADWP. Water: Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). Gas: SoCalGas. Trash: LA Sanitation & Environment (LASAN) for single-family homes; apartment buildings with 5 or more units use recycLA franchise haulers. Start service a few days before move day so the lights and water are on when the truck arrives.
Usually, with a plan. On LAFD Red Flag days, cars parked at posted Red Flag no-parking signs in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (mostly hillside areas) are towed. Give us both addresses and we'll pick the truck size and where it parks.
