Where is Blackhawk?
East of Danville, on the lower slopes below Mount Diablo. Blackhawk is an unincorporated community in Contra Costa County rather than part of the Town of Danville, but homes there use ZIP 94506 and a Danville mailing address.
Camino Tassajara and Blackhawk Road are the main roads in and out, and Interstate 680 through Danville is the nearest freeway. San Ramon is to the south and southwest.
How does the gate work on move day?
Blackhawk is a gated community. Gated access must be arranged with the HOA or the gate in advance, so contact them early and give us the details they give you. We plan the arrival time around it.
What are the homes like?
Mostly large single-family homes, many on generous lots, some on hillside parcels and some along golf course fairways. Expect big rooms, high ceilings, long driveways and more furniture per room than in a typical house.
Where does the truck park?
Usually in the driveway or beside the house on the private street. Some driveways are long or steep enough that the truck stops at the bottom and the crew carries up. We ask about the driveway when we quote.
How should I prepare?
Walk through the house room by room, including the garage, any wine storage and outdoor furniture, and make a list of pianos, art, mirrors, chandeliers and stone-top tables. Those items get their own packing plan.
Do you handle pianos, art and large furniture?
Yes. Pianos are padded and moved on the right equipment, art and mirrors can be boxed, and large furniture is taken apart and reassembled where needed. Tell us about anything oversized or unusually valuable up front.
