Moves that climb
Hillside Whittier moves are stair work: switchback drives, landings and a route planned around what actually fits through the door. Access gets described on the phone, the quote reflects it before the truck rolls, and the crew brings the pads and straps the slope requires.
The older blocks, where the 1987 earthquake left damage on Philadelphia Street, hold tighter stairwells and narrower doors than the postwar tracts, and the hours account for it. Family homes and rental turnovers both get booked against real dates, with garage load-outs included in the first hour rather than billed as a surprise.
