Packing & Crating in Brentwood, Los Angeles
Serving ZIP 90049
From Mandeville Canyon to the Barrington apartment belt, Brentwood moves planned around the kind of street you live on.
About Packing & Crating in Brentwood
Brentwood moves across three different settings: canyon houses up Mandeville, Kenter and Sullivan Canyon, the flats along San Vicente Boulevard, and apartment and condo buildings toward Wilshire and Barrington. Each gets its own access plan.
Brentwood is a City of Los Angeles neighborhood bounded by the 405 on the east, Wilshire Boulevard on the south and Mulholland Drive on the north, with Sunset Boulevard dividing the flats from the hills. A Brentwood canyon move and a Brentwood apartment move share little more than the name. North of Sunset, Mandeville Canyon Road runs several miles up a single canyon with no alternative route, and Kenter Canyon and Sullivan Canyon carry similar narrow, winding roads with gated entrances and driveways cut into the slope. South of Sunset the streets are regular and wide around San Vicente Boulevard, and toward Wilshire and Barrington Avenue the housing turns to apartment and condominium buildings.
Local Issues
Common Packing & Crating Issues in Brentwood
Single-route canyon access
Mandeville, Kenter and Sullivan Canyon roads have few or no alternatives, so a blocked lane or a narrow switchback can stop a full-size truck. Shuttle staging is planned at the estimate.
Tree canopy in the flats
South of Sunset the curb is usually available, but mature trees limit truck height and turning room on many streets. Overhead clearance on the approach is checked before dispatch.
Building rules in the apartment belt
Lift windows, insurance certificates, deposits and restricted hours near Wilshire and Barrington vary building to building and can cap how much moves in a day.
Garage height clearances
Subterranean garages under Brentwood condo buildings often cannot take a full-size truck, so the loading position has to be agreed with management in advance.
405 and Sunset congestion
Local moves are billed on double drive time, so heavy traffic on the 405 and Sunset feeds directly into the bill. An early start is the simplest control.

Real reviews from Brentwood and nearby Los Angeles neighborhoods.
“Raccoon on the citywide Los Angeles overflow 0 at lunch. Sealed Los Angeles food boxes, no incident.”

“A linear pendant over the island had to die before the Silver Lake curb was usable. They coiled the canopy in Silver Lake and the glass did not kiss.”
Packing & Crating in Brentwood - FAQs
Brentwood is in the City of Los Angeles, so LADOT issues temporary street parking restriction signs that reserve curb space, with a stated lead time of five working days and a non-refundable fee. LADOT also issues an oversize vehicle parking permit for up to three days, which makes a large truck's size and overnight parking legal but does not reserve a space. Commercial trucks with a logo or longer than 22 feet may not park overnight on city streets. We tell you which applies to your street and point you to LADOT for current fees.
It depends heavily on which part of Brentwood you are in. Typical Los Angeles ranges are $350 to $650 for a one-bedroom apartment local move, $150 to $200 per hour for a two-person crew and truck on larger local residential moves, and $600 to $1,500 for full-service packing of a three-bedroom. Canyon moves add shuttle time. These are ranges, not a quote, and your price is set in writing with a Not To Exceed figure before loading.
Yes. In-home and video estimates are both free. A canyon house with outbuildings is best surveyed in person so the estimator can check gate width, driveway grade, overhead clearance and where a shuttle can stage. A condo or apartment move often suits a video survey, which comes with a guaranteed binding price.
Mandeville Canyon Road runs several miles up one canyon with switchbacks, blind bends and little turning room, and many driveways are cut steeply into the slope. A full-size truck often cannot reach or turn at the property, and a blockage has no way around. A smaller vehicle running between the house and a truck staged legally lower down is the normal professional method, and it is priced at the estimate.
Most managed buildings in the Barrington and Wilshire belt require a service lift reservation in a fixed window, a certificate of insurance naming the owner and the management company, sometimes a deposit, a designated loading position and permitted move hours that often exclude Sundays. Subterranean garages usually have height limits a full-size truck cannot pass. Get the building rules in writing and we will plan the day around them.
They can. The canyons north of Sunset are brush-lined with a documented wildfire history and single-route access, so red flag days, brush clearance work, and winter mud and debris can all limit access, and a serious event can close a canyon. We build slack into hillside schedules rather than promise a tight window, and agree a new date with you if access is lost.
