Leading Movers in Van Nuys
Van Nuys sits at the center of the San Fernando Valley, bounded roughly by Roscoe Boulevard, Sepulveda Boulevard, the Tujunga Wash, Woodman Avenue and Oxnard Street and crossed by the 405, in ZIP codes 91401, 91405, 91406 and 91411. It is the Valley's civic center, with Van Nuys City Hall on Sylvan Street and government offices around it, and it holds Van Nuys Airport and a large industrial and commercial belt. Most homes are post-war single-family tracts or apartment buildings, and a large share of households rent.
On the tract streets, driveways and workable curbs make most moves straightforward. The walk-ups are different: two- and three-story buildings and courtyard blocks with no lift, narrow stairwells and tight landings, where stairs and carry distance set the hours. Larger and multigenerational households often have more belongings than the room count suggests, and converted garages and back units are frequently part of the move, so we ask about every structure on the lot. Van Nuys is in the City of Los Angeles, so LADOT temporary signs reserve curb space with five working days of notice when a driveway will not do. For many families here an unexpected two hours matters, so the estimate counts stairs and carry time honestly and the price is set in writing with a Not To Exceed figure.
Every legal California household mover holds a state permit. Popeye Moving & Storage holds CAL T 189749 and has worked across Los Angeles since 1994, and you can check any mover's permit with the Bureau of Household Goods and Services before you book. Our Warehouse & Industrial Moving and Office & Business Moving teams work the industrial belt, airport businesses and civic center offices, scheduled around operating hours, with Commercial & Business Storage at our Mar Vista warehouse. Summer heat in the Valley makes an early start the sensible plan. Get a free in-home or video estimate by calling (310) 823-9510, 6 AM to 9 PM, seven days a week.
LOCAL EXPERTISE
Common Moving and Storage Issues in Van Nuys
Walk-ups without lifts
Two- and three-story buildings have narrow stairwells and tight landings, so stairs set the hours.
More belongings than rooms suggest
Larger and multigenerational households, converted garages and back units add to the inventory.
Unlicensed operators
Price-sensitive areas attract movers without a state permit, leaving customers with no recourse.
Cross-hill drives
Double drive time makes moves over the hill to the Westside or the city a real part of the cost.
Business-hours constraints
Industrial, airport and office moves have to fit around operations and agreed access windows.

Popeye Moving & Storage Reviews from Van Nuys Customers
Real reviews from Van Nuys and nearby Los Angeles neighborhoods.
“Raccoon on the citywide Los Angeles overflow 0 at lunch. Sealed Los Angeles food boxes, no incident.”
“We live on a steep hillside in Silver Lake - our driveway is narrow and our old mover said their truck could not get up. Popeye sent a smaller truck and a crew that clearly knew hillside access. They navigated the driveway, wrapped everything properly, and nothing was damaged. The whole move ran smoothly. Highly recommend for anyone in the hills.”
“Moved from a 28th-floor unit in DTLA. Our building has strict elevator reservations and a 4-hour window. Popeye coordinated with the property manager, got the COI in on time, and the crew showed up right at the start of our block. They were fast, careful, and finished with 20 minutes to spare. Best apartment move we have had.”
Moving and Storage Service in Van Nuys - FAQ
Van Nuys is in the City of Los Angeles. On many tract streets the truck can load from the driveway, but where curb space is needed, LADOT temporary parking restriction signs reserve it with five working days of notice and a non-refundable fee. The oversize vehicle parking permit covers truck size and overnight parking without reserving a space, and trucks with a logo or over 22 feet cannot park overnight on city streets. Check LADOT for current fees.
In typical Los Angeles terms, not a quote, local residential moving runs $150 to $200 per hour for a two-person crew and truck, and a one-bedroom apartment local move runs $350 to $650 in total. Stairs, the carry from the truck and the drive to your new home shape the figure, and the price is set in writing with a Not To Exceed amount before anything is loaded.
Yes. Both are free: an in-home visit or a video walkthrough. Show every room plus any converted garage or back unit so nothing is missed. A video survey can also produce a guaranteed binding price, and any move inside California comes with a written Not To Exceed figure before loading.
Every legal household mover in California operates under a state permit. Ask for the number and verify it with the Bureau of Household Goods and Services at bhgs.dca.ca.gov or (916) 999-2041 before booking. Popeye's permit is CAL T 189749. Warning signs include no permit number, cash-only demands, no written estimate and no Not To Exceed price on the paperwork.
On a move inside California, the mover's default liability under Maximum Rate Tariff 4 is actual cash value up to the limit set in Item 136(2) unless you declare a different value. The 60 cents per pound figure is the basis the rate is calculated on, not the payout. Movers must offer higher valuation options, and we explain each one so you can choose knowingly.
Yes. Van Nuys has a large industrial and commercial belt, airport businesses and civic center offices. These sites usually have loading bays or yards, so access is easier than on residential streets, but the move is scheduled around operating hours, including after-hours windows where needed. Typical Los Angeles warehouse and industrial moving runs $1,500 to $10,000+.
