Apartment & Condo Moving in North Hollywood and the Valley

Building rules figured out ahead of time, not negotiated with a doorman on move day.

This goes directly to Nairi, no forwarding, no queue — she or Eddie calls back the same day to get your North Hollywood move on the calendar and flag anything worth a closer look at the walkthrough.

Apartment and condo buildings along Lankershim and Vineland come with their own rules: freight elevator reservations, loading-zone permits, move-in windows set by the property manager. We work those out before your move day, not during it.

What Denser Buildings Require

  • Freight elevator reservations at mid-rise buildings in NoHo and Sherman Oaks
  • Loading-zone permits for curb parking where the building has no dedicated dock
  • Move-in/move-out windows some HOAs and property managers require in writing
  • Certificate of insurance many buildings ask for before they’ll book the elevator

Who Handles the Building Logistics

Nairi Sarkisian calls the building management ahead of your move to confirm the freight window and permit requirements, so the crew shows up already cleared instead of waiting in the lobby while someone tracks down a super.

Crew Rate Typical Building
2 movers $155/hr Walk-up or ground-floor unit
3 movers $195/hr Elevator building, 2-3 bedroom condo
4 movers $245/hr Larger condo or a tight freight-window job needing speed

Tell Nairi your building’s freight elevator hours and any certificate-of-insurance requirement when you book — most Valley buildings ask for both.

Walk-Ups Aren’t Skipped

Plenty of NoHo Arts District buildings have no elevator at all. Crews factor stairs into the crew-size decision at booking, not as a surprise add-on afterward.

What This Service Includes

  • Freight elevator reservation coordinated with building management ahead of move day
  • Loading-zone permit arranged where curb parking requires one
  • Certificate of insurance provided if your building requests it
  • Crew size matched to elevator building vs. walk-up access
  • Furniture padding for narrow hallways and tight stairwells
  • Basic released-value protection on every job

What This Service Costs

Crew size sets your hourly rate — $155/hr for two movers, $195/hr for three, $245/hr for four — or if you’d rather book off a written number, Eddie can walk the place first and price it before move day

That hourly rate covers the truck, dollies, furniture pads, and shrink wrap — nothing billed separately: $155 for two movers, $195 for three, $245 for four, and $50/hr for each mover beyond that. A refundable $200 deposit holds your date and comes straight off the final invoice. Every job includes basic released-value protection at no added cost; for anyone who wants more coverage on a specific item, Eddie sets up a full-value quote at your walkthrough.

Questions About This Service

Do you handle the freight elevator reservation with my building?
Yes. Nairi calls building management ahead of your move to confirm the freight window so the crew isn't standing in the lobby waiting on a super to unlock it.
My building requires a certificate of insurance. Can you provide one?
Yes, tell Nairi when you book and she'll have it ready before your building's cutoff for paperwork.
What if my building has no elevator?
We move plenty of walk-ups in the NoHo Arts District. Stairs factor into the crew size we recommend at booking, not a fee added after the fact.
Do you get a loading-zone permit for street parking?
Where the building has no dedicated loading dock, we arrange a loading-zone permit ahead of time so the truck isn't circling the block on move day.
Is apartment moving priced differently from a house move?
Local apartment moves bill on the same hourly crew-size rate as any local job — $155, $195, or $245 an hour. What changes is the building coordination beforehand, not the pricing structure.
Six Years Dispatching A 40-Truck Freight Fleet Taught Armen What A Tracked Window Actually Prevents

One Rule Since Day One: Every Move Gets A Tracked Window, Not A Half-Day Guess

“I spent six years dispatching a 40-truck regional freight fleet out of the Valley, and every driver got held to a tracked ETA window on every single run, no exceptions. When I looked at the moving industry, nobody was holding movers to that same standard — no tracked window, no dispatch board, just a rough half-day guess and a shrug if the truck showed up late. I started Aliance Transportation Services in 2011 to run household moves the way a freight dispatch board runs a truck route — a real window, a tracked ETA, and a crew that reports in, not a moving company that treats the clock like a suggestion.”

Every Move Planned Before The First Box Does.

Furniture placement, load order, and building access get worked out at the walkthrough, before anyone touches a box on moving day. Armen Petrosyan started Aliance Transportation Services in 2011 after six years dispatching a 40-truck regional freight fleet, and built that same tracked-window discipline into every household move instead of leaving the schedule to a guess.
