Hillside homes south of Ventura
South of Ventura Blvd, many Sherman Oaks homes are in the hills, with winding streets, steep driveways and steps. Tell us where the truck can stop and how far it is to the door.
North of Ventura, apartment and condo buildings are common. Ask about elevator reservations, moving hours and certificate of insurance requirements.
Plan around traffic
Ventura Blvd and the 405/101 interchange are among the busiest routes in the Valley. Driving time between addresses counts as double drive time, so a mid-morning start can keep billable minutes lower.
Moving over the hill to the Westside? Tell us both addresses so we can talk through the route.
Parking the truck
Sherman Oaks 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 Sherman Oaks 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.
