Naglee Park Movers for Century-Old Houses

Most Naglee Park houses went up in the early decades of the twentieth century, and their insides show it. Craftsman bungalows, Victorians and revival-style homes have narrower doorways, steeper staircases and smaller turns than anything built recently. Many still have their original hardwood floors, plaster walls and built-ins. That is the charm, and it is also where a careless move leaves marks.

• Oversized sofas, armoires and headboards are the usual trouble at front doors and stair landings.
• Old floors scratch easily, so carpet runners and floor protection go down on the path before anything moves.
• Plaster corners chip, so tell us about tight turns and narrow doors ahead of time.

With the university next door, long-time owners live beside renters, and some big old houses have been split into several units with a shared entry or an added outside stair. The weeks around the start and end of each semester can bring many moves to the same few blocks, and the curb can fill fast. If your date falls then, plan the truck spot earlier than usual. The busy one-way couplet of 10th and 11th Streets also carries heavy traffic, so homes facing those streets may be easier to load from a side street.

Bungalows of two or three bedrooms usually get 3 movers at $175 an hour. A student room or very small load can run with 2 movers at $145. A larger Victorian with four or more bedrooms, or three bedrooms beyond 1,800 square feet, gets 4 movers at $235 an hour. The minimum is 3 hours and the rest bills in 15-minute steps. We come from San Jose, and there is no charge for the trip to your door. Saturday and Sunday cost the same as a weekday.

From a studio to four bedrooms: Naglee Park move costs

We took the billed time on moves we completed from mid-July to mid-October 2026 and priced each range at the crew rate for that size. None of this is a flat price. Billing runs by the hour from the crew's arrival until the job is done.

Middle 50% of billed hours on recent local moves for direct customers (July to October 2026), with the drive between homes counted as billed. Account and partner-billed jobs and moves that included our full packing are not in these numbers. Packing supplies extra; 3-hour minimum.

In a divided house with an added outside stair, read the row for your own unit's size, not the whole building's, and tell us which entry the crew should use.
