Parking, postings & building rules

Tow-away postings/permits: Whether temporary signage is useful depends on your exact block, meters, and time of day. We’ll advise the best approach for your address (legal load zones, driveway/garage with permission, or when a tow-away posting is worth it) and share step-by-step instructions if a posting/permit is appropriate—requests are placed by you. We issue COIs promptly and can send them to you or your building/HOA.

  • Lead time: Aim for at least 1 week for any postings or elevator reservations.
  • Timing tip: Weekday mornings are usually smoother than weekend/event hours near Castro Theatre and Market/Church.

Castro Movers — FAQs

What’s the best time to move in the Castro?

Weekday mornings typically offer easier parking and lighter traffic near Market/Castro and Church/Market. We’ll help you pick a window that fits your building’s rules.

Do I need a moving permit or temporary tow-away posting?

Sometimes. It depends on your block (meters/load zones) and time of day. We review your address, recommend options, and share steps to request postings or permits if appropriate (customer-requested).

Can you provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI)?

Yes. We issue COIs at no charge and can send them directly to building management/HOA as part of booking.

Do you handle stairs and narrow entrances?

All the time. We size the crew for walk-ups, protect doors/floors/banisters, and bring tools for tight turns common in older Castro buildings.
