Moving logistics in San Gabriel
Buildings and street access
- Street parking is banned from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.; overnight passes cover only non-commercial cars, vans and pickups, so trucks cannot stay overnight. Source: official San Gabriel rule
- 70% 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 (26% 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.
- 18% 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.
