How booking works
- Book an on-site estimate. We walk the house, garage and stairs in person; there are no video estimates.
- Clear the garage path so it can serve as a loading door.
- Decide what goes to storage. Our storage is a flat monthly price, never discounted.
- Arrange curb space for the truck if your block is full most of the day.
Life along 24th Street
Noe Valley is a bowl of mostly residential streets tucked between the Castro to the north, Diamond Heights and Twin Peaks to the west, and Glen Park to the south. 24th Street is its main street, lined with bakeries, bookstores, a farmers market and Noe Valley Town Square. The J Church streetcar runs down Church Street on the east side. It is known as a family neighborhood, and moves here often involve a full house rather than a single apartment.
Gentle on the east, steep on the west
The blocks near Church and Sanchez are fairly level. Head west past Castro Street toward Diamond and Douglass, and the grades get serious, with some streets climbing hard toward Diamond Heights. 22nd Street, on the way north into the Castro, is famously steep. A truck parked on a slope like that has to be positioned carefully, and the crew may carry from a flatter spot around the corner.
- Many houses have a garage at sidewalk level, which can be the easiest way to load if it is cleared out first.
- 24th Street itself is busy with shoppers and deliveries; side streets usually work better for the truck.
- Curb space on residential blocks is tight in the evening and early morning. A temporary SFMTA no-parking reservation helps; see our SF parking permit guide.
Every piece of furniture is fully wrapped and protected with moving blankets and tape, at no extra charge.
Bigger homes, more to move
Noe Valley has the classic San Francisco mix of Victorian and Edwardian buildings, many still single-family houses, plus two-unit flats and a good number of remodeled homes that have been expanded up or back. Remodels often mean an open main floor but a narrow original stair to the bedrooms. Kids' furniture, home offices, garage storage and outdoor pieces add up, so plan for a bigger load than the bedroom count suggests.
Our crews take apart beds, cribs, desks and large tables, and reassemble them at the new home as part of the job. Blankets go on every piece, and floor protection goes down from the door to the truck.
Crew size and rate for a Noe Valley house
A three-bedroom house over 1,800 square feet, or any home with four or more bedrooms, is a 4-mover job at $235 per hour. Smaller flats and two-bedroom homes are handled by 3 movers at $175. Two movers at $145 is reserved for very small moves. Weekday and weekend pricing are identical. Billing starts with a 3-hour minimum and continues in 15-minute increments. Packing materials are extra, charged by what we use. The moving cost guide explains the details.

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).
A cleared garage that can serve as the loading door is one of the easiest ways to keep a Noe Valley house move toward the low end.

Questions and answers
How many movers does a Noe Valley house need?
Three bedrooms over 1,800 square feet, or four bedrooms and up, get 4 movers. Most smaller homes and flats get 3. We confirm at the on-site estimate.
Can you load from our garage?
Yes, if it is cleared and the truck can park close. A level garage at the sidewalk often saves real time compared with the front stairs.
Do you move cribs and kids' furniture?
Yes. We disassemble and reassemble beds, cribs and similar pieces as part of a full-service move.
Can we use a referral discount?
Yes. A friend referral is 5% off and a real-estate-agent referral is 7%, with the referrer's name or phone as proof. Returning customers get 7%.
We are moving out of state. Do you do that?
Yes. Tell us the destination and we will quote it. See our long-distance page for how those moves work.
