Trusted Movers in Burbank Hills
Burbank Hills is the City of Burbank's Hillside Area, the residential streets climbing the Verdugo Mountains above Glenoaks Boulevard and Kenneth Road. Sunset Canyon Drive, Walnut Avenue, Scott Road, Bel Aire Drive, Lockheed View Drive, Haven Way and Wildwood Canyon Road carry most of the traffic past Stough Canyon Nature Center, Brace Canyon Park and Starlight Bowl. The houses are mid-century and later custom homes on terraced and canyon lots, many entered at street level with living space below and a garage above or beneath the main floor. Floor count tells you little here; the working entrance and the exterior steps between the vehicle and that door decide the carry.
On narrow, winding roads with blind bends and few pull-outs, a full-size truck often cannot reach, turn or stand at the property. Popeye plans those jobs as shuttles: a smaller vehicle runs between the house and a larger truck staged legally on flatter ground, and that time is written into the estimate. Moving truck use of the public right-of-way in Burbank falls under a street use permit from Public Works, valid up to five days Monday through Friday, and a narrow hillside street may need a traffic control plan. Parking permits are a separate matter handled by Community Development. Overhead canopy on private drives and fire season closures in the Verdugos are checked before a date is set.
These houses tend to hold pianos, art, antiques, wine and, in a city shaped by the entertainment industry, instruments and recording gear. Popeye handles Piano Moving, Fine Art & Antique Moving and Full-Service Packing, and offers Vaulted Storage at its Mar Vista warehouse for owners between homes. On moves inside California the price is set in writing before anything is loaded, with a Not To Exceed figure.

LOCAL EXPERTISE
Common Moving and Storage Issues in Burbank Hills
Trucks that cannot reach the house
Narrow, winding streets with switchbacks and few pull-outs often stop a full-size truck short of the property. The survey decides whether a smaller vehicle or a shuttle is needed, and the cost goes in the estimate.
Split-level carries
Homes entered at street level with living space below, or garages reached by exterior stairs, make floor count meaningless. The real route and step count are measured before quoting.
Low canopy over private drives
Mature trees over driveways and hillside roads can block a truck on height even where the width is fine, so overhead clearance is checked on the actual route.
Fire weather and winter run-off
Red flag days and road closures in the Verdugos, and mud on steep drives after rain, can affect access on the day. Hillside schedules carry slack for this.
Outbuildings left off the inventory
Workshops, garages and secondary structures add hours. Estimates that skip them come out wrong, which is why every structure is surveyed.
LOCAL TIPS
Moving and Storage Tips for Burbank Hills Residents
Ask the City whether your street use permit needs a traffic control plan; on a narrow hillside road it is a realistic requirement.
Walk the route from the curb to your working entrance and count the exterior steps before the estimate visit.
Check the fire weather forecast in the week before a Verdugo Mountains move and keep a backup date in mind.

Popeye Moving & Storage Reviews from Burbank Hills Customers
Real reviews from Burbank Hills and nearby Burbank neighborhoods.
“Theft pattern by the citywide Burbank overflow 4. The Burbank ramp was never empty.”
“A one-bedroom up a walk-up beside the Rancho Equestrian District gate is still an apartment job. They reserved the elevator in Rancho Equestrian District and finished with time on the clock.”
“Door-to-door international meant they kept the Rancho Equestrian District origin and the overseas agent on one thread. The Rancho Equestrian District curb was their problem, not mine.”
Moving and Storage Service in Burbank Hills - FAQ
Burbank Public Works issues street use permits for moving truck and container use of the public right-of-way. The City says these are valid up to five days, Monday through Friday, except in special circumstances, and a narrow hillside street may also require a traffic control plan. Residential, visitor and large non-commercial vehicle parking permits are a separate process through Community Development at 150 N. Third Street. Popeye confirms the current requirement for your address when the move is booked.
Local residential moving in the Los Angeles area typically runs $150 to $200 per hour for a two-person crew and truck. That is a typical range, not a quote. A hillside home with a shuttle, a piano or several levels takes more time, and California bills local hourly moves on a double drive time convention, so travel is charged at twice actual driving time. Your written estimate sets the Not To Exceed figure before anything is loaded.
Yes. Popeye offers free in-home and video estimates. On a Burbank Hills property the survey covers every level, the garage, any workshop or outbuilding, the driveway grade and overhead clearance, and where a shuttle could stage if a full-size truck cannot reach the house. A guaranteed binding price is available after a video survey.
Many Burbank Hills driveways climb or drop sharply from narrow carriageways, and some end in motor courts a large truck cannot turn in. A shuttle uses a smaller vehicle between the house and a larger truck parked legally on flatter ground below. It is a planned method, priced at the estimate, not a fix improvised on moving day.
It can. The Burbank hills sit in brush country with limited access routes, and red flag days, brush clearance work and road closures during fire events can change access. Winter rain can also bring mud and debris onto steep drives. Popeye builds slack into hillside schedules rather than promising a tight window in fire season.
The default valuation basis under Maximum Rate Tariff 4 is weight based and pays little on light, valuable items. Ask about full value protection, and list instruments, studio gear and art separately on the inventory with a declared value for each. Valuation is a liability limit, not insurance, so read the options before you sign.
