Price ranges are what customers paid on our local moves over the last 2 years, before tips: the middle half of jobs, so some moves cost less and some more. Your quote is built from the hours and crew your move needs, and the quote is the price you pay.
Double Drive Time (DDT) is California's rule for hourly moves: the drive from your pickup to your drop-off, doubled, at your hourly rate. With a 1.9-mile typical drive between stops, DDT on a move within Encino stays small.
48% of our Encino moves were booked within a week of moving day.

South of Ventura Boulevard, many homes sit on hillside lots with long, steep driveways and narrow streets. A full-size truck may have to park at the bottom while the crew carries items up. Tell us about the driveway when you book so we bring the right truck and enough people.
Along Ventura Boulevard there are mid-rise condo and apartment buildings with move-in hours and elevators you have to reserve. Ask your building manager about their rules before move day, including whether they need a certificate of insurance from your movers, and send them to us when you book.
Encino is in the City of Los Angeles, so curb space for a truck is reserved through LADOT's temporary no-parking signs. On busy blocks near Ventura Boulevard, call LADOT at (213) 485-2298 about two weeks ahead to ask about signs.
Encino moves tend to be bigger than most of the moves we do in the Valley. A typical local job here runs a full working day with three movers, because houses usually mean more furniture, more to pack and often a garage or patio set to clear out. We'll ask about all of it up front so the quote covers the whole job.
