Oakland covers flatland neighborhoods, lakeside apartment towers and hillside streets in the same city. Rockridge, Temescal, Lake Merritt, Montclair and Jack London Square each ask for a different plan, which is why we get the address and building details before we promise anything.

Homes and buildings in Oakland

Oakland has a large stock of older apartment buildings and Victorian-era houses with stairs, plus newer mid- and high-rise buildings downtown and around the lake. Walk-ups, steep entry stairs and narrow hillside streets are the real challenges, and they decide how a move is loaded.

What to plan for in Oakland

Street parking, one-way streets and hillside roads limit where a 24-foot truck can stop. In larger buildings, elevator reservations are common, so ask your building manager. Tell us about stairs and the walk from door to truck and we plan the order of loading around it.

Tell us the street, any gate or elevator, and where the truck can stop. We confirm access before we quote, not on the day.

Questions we get asked

Can you move me out of a walk-up in Oakland?

Yes. Stairs are common in Oakland. Tell us how many flights and what is being moved and we plan the load and the time it will take.

Do you handle Oakland Hills addresses?

Often, depending on the street. Give us the address and we check whether the truck can reach it or whether we should stage nearby.

How do I get a quote for a home move in Oakland?

Send both addresses, what is moving and any notes about stairs, elevators, gates or parking. You will get a straight answer about timing and how the move would run.

What truck do you use for a Oakland move?

A 24-foot box truck with a liftgate. Tell us what is moving and we say honestly whether it suits the truck.
