Buildings and street access
- Many Duarte streets ban parking from 3 AM to 6 AM. Temporary overnight permits cost $1.00 per day, but they are not valid for commercial vehicles or for vehicles pulling trailers. Source: official Duarte rule
- Residential streets are swept on the 2nd and 4th week of each month, on a set weekday and time window that depends on the city quadrant. Source: official Duarte rule
- 74% of homes are single-family houses, so driveways, stairs and curb space matter more than elevators. Tell us about long driveways or steep streets.
- Apartment buildings with 5 or more units (20% of homes here) and HOA communities often ask movers for a certificate of insurance (COI). Ask for the requirements early; we send COIs the same day.
- 3% of homes were built before 1940, so most buildings have standard-width doors and stairwells. Walk-ups still change the crew size, so tell us the floor at both ends.
