Moving in Ross01 · The town

A quiet town in the middle of the Ross Valley

Ross is one of the smallest towns in Marin County, tucked into the Ross Valley between San Anselmo to the north and Kentfield to the east and south. Sir Francis Drake Boulevard runs along its eastern side, and Corte Madera Creek winds through town on its way toward the bay. The whole town uses ZIP 94957.

Away from the boulevard, Ross is almost entirely homes: big properties shaded by oaks and redwoods, set back from narrow lanes that climb toward the open hills of the Mount Tamalpais watershed. There is no freeway in town and very little through traffic on the side streets, which is part of why people move here and part of why a moving truck needs a plan.

Housing stock02 · What we carry through

Large older homes, cottages and hillside houses

Estate-style homes on big lots

Many Ross houses sit well back from the road behind lawns, gardens or a gate. The truck may stop a long way from the front door, so the carry distance is the first thing we measure.

Older shingle and period houses

Older homes often have formal staircases, original wood floors and doorways that were never meant for a modern sectional. Big pieces come apart, and railings and floors get covered before anything moves.

Cottages near the town center

Smaller houses close to the center of town sit on tighter lots, closer to the street, with one or two steps up to a porch. These are often the quickest Ross moves.

Hillside homes on the upper lanes

Higher up, houses are built into the slope with steps from the parking area to the entry and decks off the back. Stairs, not square footage, usually set the crew size here.

Access03 · Truck and curb

Getting a moving truck down a Ross lane

Ross streets are pleasant to drive and harder to park on. What we check before the date:

Many lanes are narrow, curving and lined with trees, often with no sidewalk. A truck stopped in the road can block it, so we keep the stop short and leave room for neighbors to pass.
Low branches over the roadway can rule out a tall box truck. Where the canopy or the turn is too tight, we bring a smaller truck and shuttle loads to the house.
Gates, gravel drives and garden paths change how the dollies roll. Tell us the gate width and whether the drive is paved, and we bring the right equipment.
The Town of Ross sets the rules for its streets and the public right of way. If the truck has to stand in the road, we check the Town's current requirements for your address with you ahead of time.
Sir Francis Drake Boulevard is the main route in and out of the Ross Valley and it slows down at commute and school drop-off hours, so we time the drive to avoid the worst of it.

Common moves04 · Move types

Remodels, downsizing and moves along the valley

A lot of Ross moves happen around a house that is being remodeled or sold: the family moves out for the work and back in later, or downsizes from a large property into something smaller in Larkspur, Corte Madera or San Rafael. Packing and storage covers the time in between, with storage at a flat monthly price.

Houses this size often hold art, antiques, a piano or a wine collection. Tell us about each piece up front, and see packing services and piano movers. Moves to Kentfield, San Anselmo and the rest of Marin are handled by our local moving crews.

Ross moving cost05 · Pricing

$145per hour · team of 2 movers

We charge by the hour, with a 3-hour minimum: 2 movers at $145, 3 movers at $175 and 4 movers at $235, plus packing materials only if we use them. A full house on a large lot with a long carry is usually a 3 or 4 mover job, while a small cottage near town can be done by 2.

Moving blankets, tape, wardrobe boxes, floor and banister protection, and furniture disassembly and reassembly come with every full-service move. Framed art and mirrors can be boxed by the crew. The moving cost guide shows what adds hours, like a long walk from the truck, and what saves them.

Ross
moving FAQ.

Can a moving truck get down my narrow lane in Ross?

Usually yes. If low branches, a tight turn or the width of the lane will not take a full-size truck, we bring a smaller one and shuttle loads between it and the house.

Do I need to arrange anything with the Town of Ross for the truck?

If the truck has to stand in the street, the Town of Ross sets the rules. Give us your address and date and we check what applies before move day.

What does a Ross move cost?

$145 an hour for 2 movers, $175 for 3 movers and $235 for 4 movers, with a 3-hour minimum, plus any packing materials used.

Our house is set far back from the road. Is that a problem?

No, it just adds carry time. Tell us roughly how far the front door is from where a truck can stop, and we size the crew so the walk does not drag out the day.

Can you store our things during a remodel?

Yes. We pack and load the house, keep everything in storage at a flat monthly price, and bring it back when the work is done.
