Evergreen Movers for Every Stage of the Neighborhood

Evergreen was not built all at once, and the age of your street says a lot about your move.

Near Capitol Expressway and Tully Road

The older tract homes, one and two stories on flat blocks. Easy truck access and quick carries.

Up toward the hills

Later subdivisions curve along the slopes, with sloped driveways and three-car garages that hold a room's worth of belongings.

Planned and HOA communities

Townhomes and newer single-family developments with rules about truck parking, move hours and common areas.

The Villages

The gated active-adult community in the 95135 hills, where many moves are downsizing moves.

When you are leaving a big family house for something smaller, the hardest part is not the carrying, it is deciding. Measure the rooms at the new place, decide which pieces fit, and mark everything else for family, donation or sale before the estimate. We then quote only what is actually coming, which keeps the hours down. If some pieces need a home for a while, storage is a flat monthly price billed in 30-day periods, and it is never discounted.

From mid-July to late October 2026 we received 4 quote requests from ZIPs 95121, 95135 and 95148, not counting account work, and 3 of them booked or completed. All four were local moves, ranging from a one-bedroom to a home with four or more bedrooms.

Evergreen covers the southeast side of the city, where the valley floor tips up into the Diablo Range foothills. Capitol Expressway roughly forms the western edge, and San Felipe Road, Aborn Road, Quimby Road, White Road and Yerba Buena Road do most of the work inside. Evergreen Valley College sits near the middle, Lake Cunningham Regional Park is close by, and the south end blends into Silver Creek. Driving east from the expressway, the grade rises block by block, and the higher streets wind and switch around the slope.

A two-bedroom townhome or condo is usually 3 movers at $175 per hour. Hillside houses, often three bedrooms over 1,800 square feet or four bedrooms and up, get 4 movers at $235 per hour. A very small downsizing load can go with 2 movers at $145. The first 3 hours are the minimum, then billing is in quarter hours, and the rate does not change on weekends.

How long an Evergreen move takes, and what it costs

We grouped our recent local moves by home size, using the hours on the final bill, and kept the middle half of each group. Use it as a planning range. You are billed by the hour, so the clock on move day sets the total.

Hours are the middle half of billed hours on our recent local moves for direct customers, July to October 2026, including the drive between homes; account and partner-billed jobs and jobs with our full packing service are left out. Packing materials are extra, and every job has a 3-hour minimum ($525 with 3 movers).

If your three-car garage is full, count it as an extra room when you read the table. Sorting it before the estimate is one of the easiest ways to save time.

Evergreen is about 6 miles east of downtown San Jose. The usual way in is US 101 and Capitol Expressway, then up the slope. The drive to reach you is free. If your destination is more than 10 minutes from your current home, for example a move from the hills down to Willow Glen, state rules double the drive time between the two addresses.

1. Check your HOA or community rules for move days, hours and where the truck may park, and send them to us.
2. For a gated community, arrange gate access or a guest pass for the truck.
3. Send the HOA name, mailing address and email so we can issue the certificate of insurance at no charge.
4. Clear the driveway the night before. If the drive is steep, the truck may park on the street instead.
5. The arrival window is 8 to 10 AM, and the crew calls about 30 minutes before arrival.
