Los Gatos Movers
Los Gatos moves tend to run uphill. Often steeply. Trek handles houses, condos and offices across town, and long-distance jobs out of it, with crews driving in from the San Jose hub up SR-17 and Winchester Boulevard.
Quick Takeaways
- Show the approach: Hillside homes off Shannon and Kennedy Roads need the driveway and turnaround on the walkthrough.
- Downtown needs curb space: Almond Grove lots are tight.
- Campbell and San Jose lie north: Winchester Boulevard and SR-17 lead out of town toward both.
- Downsizing needs its own plan: One resident in five is 65 or older, and a four-bedroom house won’t all fit a condo.
- Whole-house packing on request: Every room, china cabinet to closet.
The Census Runs Out of Scale on Los Gatos Home Values
The town’s median home value is past the top of the Census scale. QuickFacts for Los Gatos records $2,000,000+ for an owner-occupied home over 2020–2024, and the table goes no higher. Nobody wants those floors scored by a dolly wheel.
The same table puts residents aged 65 and over at 20.7% of the town. A move at that stage often goes smaller, with a four-bedroom house on the hill trading down to a condo, a townhome or a cottage within walking distance of downtown. Not everything makes the trip.

Here, slope beats square footage.
Hillside Homes Off Shannon and Kennedy Roads
Narrow lanes, sharp bends and driveways steep enough to make a hand truck nervous all belong on the walkthrough, along with any place a truck could turn.
Almond Grove and Downtown Houses
Older homes on tight lots a short walk from North Santa Cruz Avenue. Parking is the puzzle.
The Smaller Place at the End of a Downsize
A condo or townhome at the end of a downsizing move often has a shared hallway or an elevator. Ask the association how elevator bookings work before the video call.
Winchester Boulevard Runs North Into Campbell
Campbell is the next town north, up Winchester Boulevard, and a move there is done in a day.
A downsizing couple trading a house off Shannon Road for a condo near downtown Campbell Avenue gets a hillside drive at one end and a shared hallway at the other. Both are local. Trek draws that line at 100 miles.
Long-Distance Moves Leave Los Gatos Without a Warehouse Stop
A move from Los Gatos past the 100-mile line puts your household on a dedicated truck, loaded once in town and opened again at the new address, with no warehouse transfer anywhere between the two. The price is fixed. It’s a guaranteed flat rate, set after a video or in-person inspection, whether the destination is Portland, Salt Lake City or Vancouver.
Our Los Gatos Moving Services
On a hillside job, the carrying is only part of it.
Furniture Protection
Runners across the hardwood, covers on the stairs, padding on every door frame.
Expert Furniture Assembly
The four-poster bed and the home-office desk come apart for the drive down the hill and go back together at the far end.
Express & After-Hours Moving
The condo a downsizer has waited months for near downtown can come free with little warning, and then the hill house has to be emptied fast. Don’t sit on it. Trek invites exactly that request, even at the last minute.
Mountain Addresses That Carry a Los Gatos Name
Plenty of Los Gatos addresses sit well up in the hills past Lexington Reservoir, where long private drives and steep grades make the loading, not the living room, the hard part of the job. Turnarounds up there are tight.
Crews for these jobs come from the San Jose hub, so film the road in as well as the rooms, from the turnoff to the spot where a truck would have to turn around. Include the last stretch.
Hillside or Downtown, a Los Gatos Price Needs a Look First
The approach decides a hillside quote, so Trek looks at the house and the drive up to it first, over video or in person, and a larger home then always gets a guaranteed flat rate. No look, no number.
| Number of movers | Cost per Hour (Cash Rate) | Cost per Hour (Credit Rate) |
| 2 Movers & Truck (Studio, 1 Bedroom) | $120+ | $140+ |
| 3 Movers & Truck (2–3 Bedrooms) | $160+ | $180+ |
| 4 Movers & Truck (House, Office) | $200+ | $220+ |
A studio or one-bedroom condo move can run hourly instead, all-inclusive like the flat rate.
*Regional pricing can vary with scheduling constraints and service availability. Every booking gets a written estimate first.
Why Trek Movers Is Los Gatos' Best Moving Company
One Los Gatos job starts on a steep hillside drive and the next on a tight lot near North Santa Cruz Avenue, so the crew that turns up has to be ready for either.
Forbes' Pick in California, Three Years Running
Forbes ranked Trek the #1 mover in California for three straight years.
A Family-Owned Firm That Keeps Its Crews In-House
Trek has been family-owned since 2007, and its 50-plus staff work for the company directly, with no broker standing between the family that booked and the crew that arrives.
Three Policies Behind Every Los Gatos Crew
Trek is insured three ways. Cargo, general liability and workers’ comp policies all sit behind the crew, and the company moves households under California permit MTR#0191956.
Los Gatos Moving FAQs
What do movers charge for a house in Los Gatos?
A house always gets a guaranteed flat rate once the crew has looked it over by video or in person, and the number reflects its size and the access at each end.
Do Los Gatos movers help with downsizing?
They handle the packing, the furniture, the drive and the reassembly in the smaller place, and unpacking can be added, though which pieces make the trip stays the family’s call.
Will movers pack my entire house in Los Gatos?
They will, on request. White-glove packing covers every room, closets included.
Do movers handle hillside homes with a Los Gatos mailing address?
Yes. Those jobs turn on the road in and the turnaround at the top of the drive, and the crew needs to know both before the day.
A Los Gatos Street Name Says Which Job It Is
In a town this size, the street says most of what the crew needs to know. An Almond Grove cottage near North Santa Cruz Avenue, a house off Shannon Road and a mountain place past Lexington Reservoir each put something different on the walkthrough. Lead with the road.

I had a great experience using Trek Movers! Their website makes it easy to book a reservation online. They also had great customer service! I reached out to fix a mistake on my moving estimate, and the woman I spoke with on the phone was very kind and helpful! Before my moving day I got an email outlining an itinerary of what to expect day of. I really appreciated the guidance! On the day of, my movers did a walk through of my apartment and gave me a time estimate. They ended up extremely close to their estimate at the end! The movers were fast and efficient and honestly made this stressful day so much better! Thank you!! -

I've always been the type of person to rent my own U-Haul and bribe my friends to help me move, but after my experience with Trek Movers, I'll never go back to trying to move by myself again. — Rates & Service – I had requested quotes from several different companies and Trek Movers had really awesome rates, but it was the service that completely won me over. When I requested a quote, I was immediately taken to an online portal that provided me an estimate based off my room size and then the website also allowed me to add my inventory to give them an even better estimate. -

Tim and his crew came highly recommended by a coworker and I can see why. They were professional, they worked very quickly, they work super hard, and they had a great attitude. I would absolutely hire these guys again. -

These guys are amazing… our stuff would have taken us weeks to move and they managed to move it all in 2 days, and in a heat wave no less! Thanks guys, that took a lot of the stress off of us! -

We highly recommend Trek Movers to anyone looking for a locally owned and professionally run moving company. We hired Trek for our house move from San Francisco to Los Angeles. The kindness and responsiveness I experienced with them in every interaction on the phone, in emails and in person was a relief during a very stressful situation. Our team of movers were incredibly hard working and patient with filling the truck with several objects that weren't square and organically shaped as well as some heavy workshop machinery from our garage that don't make packing a truck easy.
