About Packing & Crating in North of Montana
Moving in North of Montana, Santa Monica's large-lot quarter from Montana Avenue to Adelaide Drive. Full-house moves with pianos, art, wine and antiques, on tree-lined streets where canopy and roadway width limit the truck more than parking does.
North of Montana runs from Montana Avenue north to Adelaide Drive and the city line above Santa Monica Canyon, and inland from Ocean Avenue and Palisades Park across the numbered streets toward 26th Street, almost all of it in ZIP code 90402. San Vicente Boulevard splits it with its planted median. The houses are substantial, on deep lots under mature street trees, mixing original 1920s to 1940s architecture with extensive remodels and contemporary rebuilds. The Los Angeles boundary sits close on the inland side, so we confirm the city for each address.
Local Issues
Common Packing & Crating Issues in North of Montana
Tree canopy and roadway width
Low branches and narrow carriageways with cars on both sides limit a tall truck more than parking does, so the route is checked before the day.
Under-surveyed contents
Garages, lofts, basements and outbuildings hold a large share of the volume in these houses. A quote that misses them misses the job.
Valuable and awkward items
Pianos, oversized art and mirrors, stone-topped furniture, chandeliers, wine and safes need crating, padding or special equipment priced in from the start.
Protecting finished interiors
Remodeled floors, stair rails and doorways need protection throughout the carry, which adds setup time that belongs in the estimate.
Santa Monica or Los Angeles
The city line runs close on the inland side, and the two cities run entirely different parking and permit systems.

Local Tips
Packing & Crating Tips for North of Montana Residents
Plan a mid-morning start so the truck arrives after the school run near Franklin and Roosevelt Elementary on Montana.
Prepare a list of high-value items with a value for each before the survey so valuation can be set correctly.
If a designer or estate manager is involved, include them on the survey so access and delivery details are agreed once.

Packing & Crating in North of Montana - FAQs
Often not. Santa Monica says the signs are advised but not required if the truck is not parked overnight, from 9 PM to 6 AM, and a legal space is available, which is common on these wider streets. If your block is tight, signs are collected in person at City Hall, posted, and inspected by Traffic Services between 72 and 24 hours before the start.
A typical Los Angeles range for white glove moving is $150 to $250 per hour, and piano moving typically runs $200 to $600. These are typical ranges, not a quote. A full house with art, antiques and a piano is priced from a survey, and on a move inside California the price is set in writing before anything is loaded, with a Not To Exceed figure.
Yes, and for a home of this size we recommend it. In-home and video estimates are free, and a video survey can lead to a guaranteed binding price. Include the garage, loft, basement and any outbuildings, plus every piano, safe, art piece, wine collection or stone-topped table, since these are where estimates go wrong.
Unless you declare a different value, the mover's maximum liability on a move inside California is up to 20,000 dollars of actual cash value for the shipment under Maximum Rate Tariff 4. Valuation is not insurance. Full value protection is the paid alternative, and items of extraordinary value should be listed separately on the inventory with a value for each.
It can. Mature street trees overhang the roadway on many blocks, and low branches matter for a high truck. We check the approach at the estimate and choose the vehicle and route to suit, using the driveway where possible so the truck sits off the street.
Yes. Move-out, storage and return is a regular pattern here. Our full-service vaulted storage in Mar Vista is climate controlled, has no minimum or maximum term and accepts pianos, fine art, wine and chandeliers, with goods handled by our crews and inventoried in and out.
