Movers in Silver Lake, CA Who Plan Around the Hills

Silver Lake moving company crew at work
Silver Lake is a neighborhood of hills and public staircases, so a move here can mean a steep driveway, a flight of steps between the curb and the front door, or a narrow street with no room to spare. Describe the driveway, the steps and the parking when you book, and we plan the truck and the carry around them.

What backs every move:

  • Licensed and insured: CPUC licensed under USDOT 3398018, MC 1153871 and CAL-T0192140, with full liability coverage and workers' compensation.
  • Public ratings: Rated 4.9 on Google from 1,007 reviews.
  • Hourly pricing: From $119/hr for 2 movers and a truck Monday–Thursday at the cash rate, $135/hr Friday–Sunday, with stairs and long carries included.

Packing Services for Silver Lake Homes

Movers and packers in Silver Lake
Homes here range from bungalow courts and step-street cottages to modernist houses by architects such as Richard Neutra and John Lautner. Our packing crew wraps the furniture, boxes the rest and gets every load ready for a carry up or down the hill.

What gets packed and how:

  • Fragile pieces: Glassware, mirrors, lamps and framed art are wrapped and boxed before anything leaves the house.
  • Furniture prep: Beds, tables and shelving are taken apart, covered in moving blankets and shrink wrap, and put back together at the new address.
  • Closets: Hanging clothes go straight into wardrobe boxes, so they arrive on hangers instead of in piles.

Local Movers in Silver Lake, CA: Hills, Stairs and Courtyards

Local movers in Silver Lake
Moves that stay in Los Angeles are billed by the hour, and when your next address is out of state, our long-distance movers handle the trip. From the streets around the Silver Lake Reservoir to the stairways off Sunset Boulevard, every plan starts with access: where the truck can stop, how steep the driveway is and how many steps lead to the door.

How we handle Silver Lake access:

  • Smaller trucks: When a street is too narrow or steep for a full-size truck, we park it on a wider block and shuttle loads in a smaller vehicle.
  • Stairs included: Public staircases, steep driveways, long carries and extra stops are covered by the hourly rate, with no added fee.
  • Bungalow courts: Units in a bungalow court face a shared courtyard or walkway, so we map the carry from the curb to your door before loading begins.
Moving blankets, shrink wrap, packing tape, wardrobe boxes, furniture disassembly and reassembly, TV unmounting, furniture placement and unpacking help come with every local move; for an out-of-state destination, ask about long-distance moving.

"SOS moving helped make my move incredibly easy. I called and scheduled the appointment a week in advance and they reminded me multiple times throughout the week about the move. They called me the day before my move to confirm all the details about the move.

Alex and Andrew were my movers and they were very efficient and quick. They were very friendly and provided me with additional supplies that I ran out of for packing. At the new location, they did a great job of moving everything up multiple flights of stairs and all my items arrived in the same condition as before. Paying in cash also makes the hourly rate cheaper so I recommend going that route if you can.

Overall had a great experience using SOS movers. Would use them again if I had to make another move."

"Alex and his team were amazing with my move today with such little notice. It was indeed an SOS situation and I've had to orchestrate this move by myself - they were nothing but patient with the obstacles of my location: Laurel Canyon, 64 steps up to my apartment, and a long dirt road down to where their truck had to be parked. I am so grateful that they took the challenge. These guys battled 100 degree weather and were quick, efficient, and impressively strategic with what they had to work with. I also have a copious amount of plants that they very tenderly packed up for me :).

Highly recommend and definitely will keep Alex and his team in mind to use again for my next move!"

"We had an amazing experience with SOS moving company, thanks to Armando and Nelson! They went above and beyond to ensure everything was moved carefully and efficiently. Our move wasn’t the easiest—we had a long driveway, a hill, and multiple steps leading to our townhome—but they handled it all with professionalism and a great attitude. They were incredibly accommodating, respectful, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. I would hire this team again and again without hesitation. Highly recommend! Thank you, Armando and Nelson!"

"Michael along with two other workers showed up on time and moved everything down two flights of stairs and into my new place. It was a short move within the city, but I had a bunch of stuff that accumulated over 10 years at my old place.
They were very hard working and moved big heavy boxes non-stop.
I was glad for them there wasn't any stairs at the destination, so they could get a breather.
Everything was done in a little over 3 hours. They were polite and friendly and handled everything great.
If I need to move again, I would go with SOS."

"SOS Moving were lifesavers when we moved January 2021! I would give them 7 out of 5 stars if I could.

Our movers were Frank, Baddy, and Dash. They were amazing human beings for all the reasons below:

This was supposed to be a "quick" 2-bedroom apartment+patio move; however, we had enough stuff for a 4-person family (in hindsight, we should have asked for 4 movers). What this meant, though, was that our move turned into a *twelve hour* grind. 8:45AM-8:45PM. Two truckloads back and forth between the new and old apartment. These men did not stop for a SECOND except for a half-hour lunch in the middle of the day. No complaining, no resting, just moving. I was amazed. Throughout it all they were extremely professional, kept their masks on, and the quality of their work (being careful with boxes, placing things neatly) never dropped, even towards the 10th/11th hour of the move.

Not to mention that we were moving into an apartment that had a hairpin stairway, on which they had to navigate all of our heavy appliances. In the dark. With wet steps from rain. We wanted to use our own washer/dryer set instead of the one that came with the apartment, and they graciously helped us move the apartment set down 2 flights of stairs into the garage.

Leading up to and throughout the move they were also very communicative. Arrival was on time. Pricing was very clear (pay by the hour) and there were no hidden fees. Nothing was damaged or scratched during the move, and all furniture was re-assembled on site. We have a cat, which was not an issue for them (we kept the cat in one of the bathrooms and made sure the other was still accessible for everyone). This was a local move (just 20 minutes away by car).

I cannot emphasize how wonderful SOS Moving were. Frank, Baddy, and Dash, thanks again so much!"

"I can’t say enough good things about SOS Moving and especially Gilbert and his team. They were absolutely phenomenal from start to finish! Not a single item was damaged or broken—which says a lot when you’re moving an entire home. Beyond their careful handling, what really stood out was their attitude and efficiency. Gilbert and his crew were upbeat, professional, and clearly experienced. They worked quickly without ever compromising care. It was honestly the smoothest move I’ve ever had. Highly recommend SOS Moving and would absolutely request Gilbert’s team again!"

"Had the pleasure of having Buchu, Denis & Sandro help with our move today. They were very professional, kind, and excellent with all our boxes and furniture. They came prepared to help in whatever capacity and it made the move extremely easy. Would recommend 10/10 to hire these guys and 100% worth the money!"

"I've always heard you get what you pay for!
This was a great experience in the middle of a stressful time. SOS was on time, worked hard, took care of my stuff, guys were friendly and attentive, at the destination on time, listened to my requests for placement and got it all done in record time. It wasn't the cheapest but, I believe it was the best! Thank you to the SOS team."

"Armando, Nelson, and Simon were excellent! They showed up promptly on time and handled all of our items with care. They made sure to communicate everything that they were doing and offered recommendations on how to efficiently pack and move. It started raining during the move and the team came prepared with a floor runner as to not get the floors dirty. Overall a very smooth and fast experience so I would definitely recommend SOS moving!"
