Larger homes need a realistic plan
Many Encino homes are large single-family houses with several bedrooms, garages and outdoor furniture. A three- or four-mover crew is often more efficient for a bigger home. Send photos or a room list so we can suggest a crew.
After 180 billable minutes the minute rate drops, which matters most on longer moves of larger homes.
Gates, driveways and hillside lots
South of Ventura, homes are often on hillside lots with gates and long driveways. Share gate codes and access times, and tell us whether the truck can enter the driveway.
Condo buildings along Ventura Blvd may need a reserved elevator and a certificate of insurance.
Parking the truck
Encino is part of the City of Los Angeles. Check Los Angeles Department of Transportation guidance and the posted signs on your block when planning where the truck will stand. Confirm restrictions for the actual date, not on the basis of an empty curb during an earlier visit.
What a move in Encino costs
Two movers and a truck cost $2.50 per billable minute for the first 180 minutes ($150/hour), then $2.15 per minute ($129/hour). Three movers: $3.40 then $2.90; four movers: $4.30 then $3.65. No 3-hour minimum. One-minute billing. Fuel included. We confirm rates and scope by text before moving day.
Billable minutes = work at the addresses + 2 × actual driving time between them. For example, 40 minutes loading, a 15-minute drive and 20 minutes unloading make 90 billable minutes: $225 with two movers and a truck. This illustrates billing, not the duration of your move.
