Encino moves range from condo buildings to larger family homes with driveways and mature landscaping. First Choice Moving & Storage plans around the property, not a template.
Plan Your Encino MoveWe handle Encino moves with attention to driveway access, tree cover and the parking realities that come with single-family neighborhoods.
Tell us both Encino addresses, what's moving and any access details. We'll follow up with a plan and next steps.
Encino blends larger family homes with hillside streets and busy commercial boulevards. Driveways, gate access, and sloped routes shape how the move unfolds.
Many Encino homes are larger single-family houses with plenty to move. Plan extra truck space and protect floors through wide but busy doorways.
Properties near the Santa Monica Mountains sit on sloped streets with tight turns. Confirm the truck can reach the driveway and plan the carry for the grade.
Gated communities and private drives are common in Encino. Share entry codes and confirm gate clearance with the crew before move day.
Ventura Boulevard carries steady commercial traffic through Encino. Schedule loading off-peak and keep the truck close to the home on quieter streets.
Encino moves center on family homes, hillside properties, and relocations within the Valley. Each one needs a plan tailored to the property and its access.
Family homes in Encino often fill a full truck with furniture, boxes, and outdoor items. Clear the driveway and pack rooms in order so nothing is missed.
Sloped lots near the mountains need a truck that fits the street and a carry planned for the grade. Confirm access before scheduling the move.
Many Encino moves relocate within the Valley or across town for work or school. Lock the date early and plan around weekday traffic patterns.
Encino properties vary from flat lots to steep hillsides, so a little planning keeps the move on schedule. Complete these steps ahead of time.
Reserve truck parking and confirm the spot is clear before move day.
Share gate codes and confirm clearance with the crew for gated properties.
Walk the hillside route and confirm the truck can reach the driveway.
Clear the driveway, garage, and path from the front door to the truck.
Protect floors and stairs with runners through large homes and narrow entries.

The 2 guys that showed up did a good job keeping our stuff from damage. However, I did see both of them taking a break after only working for 45 minutes. One was smoking, the other was in the truck on his cell phone. I wouldn't call them speedy by any means, but our stuff arrived safely for only going 4 miles away. Their paperwork had the wrong destination address so I'm fortunate that I saw the paperwork or they would have ended up in the wrong place.
The moving crew took fantastic care of our stuff during our move. These guys were the ultimate professionals, timing was impeccable and they helped us get everything set up in our new place. We used The packing crew to pack and unpack, and they took great care of all our fragile and bulky items over two days. Saves us hours and hours of time at a very affordable rate. We love First Choice Moving & Storage
I had a really positive experience with First Choice Moving & Storage. From my first phone call with the coordinator to moving day with the crew, I highly recommend their services. The coordinator was very helpful and knowledgeable, and the crew was timely, professional and efficient. My family is very happy with the service we received.
Quick and professional. Would recommend. First downside however is that we requested a wardrobe and mattress cover for our move, and the move team was underprepared by not having those items (after reviewing the mover’s instructions they were not listed by the relocation consultant). My recommendation for anyone using this service is to have the relocation consultant reiterate what items will be provided by the movers, and to specifically have them listed on the “move notes” and not just the “consultant notes” (you will only see these notes when the movers arrive). Second downside was that the movers were late. We were given an arrival time of 8:15-9:15 and they arrived at 9:35.
The crew was the best. We are thankful for them and all their hard work. Couldn’t have done it without them.
The movers themselves were excellent. Very professional and courteous. They even helped us pack up some odds and ends we missed on the inventory sheet. They were contracted from First Choice Moving & Storage. The office staff was overall okay, but they do not do issue resolution well. You are on your own to figure out a solution. Future moves I would coordinate directly with the contracted movers.
