Showroom, gallery and apartment moves around the Pacific Design Center, with West Hollywood parking permits filed early
About Packing & Crating in Avenues of Art and Design
Moving in the Avenues of Art and Design, the West Hollywood showroom and gallery district around Melrose, Beverly and Robertson. Popeye Moving & Storage handles gallery and showroom work and apartment moves on the streets behind it.
The Avenues of Art and Design is the earlier name for what West Hollywood now markets as its Design District, the quarter where Robertson Boulevard, Melrose Avenue and Beverly Boulevard meet. The city counts more than 200 galleries, furniture and interior design showrooms and boutiques here, and the Pacific Design Center fills a 14-acre campus at 8687 Melrose Avenue. San Vicente Boulevard cuts through on a diagonal, with West Hollywood Park and the library on its western side. Behind the commercial frontage are residential streets, so the district produces two quite different kinds of move.
Local Issues
Common Packing & Crating Issues in Avenues of Art and Design
Loading tied to trading hours
Showrooms and galleries often set narrow windows for goods in and out, so the move is planned around the business, not the other way round.
Competition for kerb space
Metered frontage, delivery vans and showroom traffic leave little room for a truck without a reserved space.
Oversized vehicle threshold
The 24 foot and three quarter ton limits mean most full-size moving vans need the Oversized Move permit.
Fragile, high-value pieces
Art, lighting and designer furniture often need crating and separate declaration on the inventory.
Garage clearances in residential buildings
Height limits in building garages frequently keep a full-size truck out, so a shuttle has to be planned in.

The truck leaving is not the end of a move; the boxes are. Our crews open them, put things where you want them and take the packing material away. You decide what goes where, and we do the lifting and the clearing.
Learn more →Custom Crating in Avenues of Art and Design
Some items should not travel in a carton, however well padded. Custom crating gives a single piece its own wooden case, measured and braced so it cannot move inside. Popeye Moving & Storage crates art, glass, stone and fragile furniture for local moves, long distance moves and export shipments.

Packing & Crating in Avenues of Art and Design - FAQs
West Hollywood is its own city, and Temporary No Parking signs are applied for online. There are separate categories for a Resident Overnight truck, a Commercial Move and an Oversized Move, the last covering vehicles over 24 feet long or heavier than three quarters of a ton, which includes most full-size vans. The city asks for at least 5 business days counted from payment and recommends at least 8. Parking Enforcement posts the signs, and a car left in the reserved space is illegally parked.
Fine art and antique moving in the Los Angeles area typically runs $300 to $1,200+, and custom crating typically runs $150 to $800+ per crate. Those are typical ranges, not a quote. Your price depends on the pieces, the crating and the access, and is set in writing before anything is loaded.
Yes. Popeye offers free in-home and video estimates for homes and businesses, and a video survey can lead to a guaranteed binding price. For a gallery or showroom, show us the loading door, the largest pieces and anything that needs a crate.
Yes. We agree the loading window with the business before the day and plan the crew and truck around it. The city permit reservation and any building rules still apply, so we line those up first. Our office line is open 6 AM to 9 PM, seven days a week, for scheduling.
Yes. On a move inside California, unless you declare otherwise, the mover's maximum liability under Maximum Rate Tariff 4 is up to 20,000 dollars of actual cash value for the shipment. The 60 cents per pound figure is the basis the rates are computed on, not a payout. Items of extraordinary value such as art and antiques should be listed separately with a value declared for each, and full value protection is the paid alternative.
Usually a certificate of insurance naming the building as additional insured, a booked lift window and pads in the lift. Garage height limits often stop a full-size truck from entering, so we confirm the clearance and whether a smaller shuttle vehicle is needed when we do the estimate.
