Mill Valley is one of the most challenging towns in the Bay Area to move in, and the reason is the terrain. Hillside homes reached by long flights of stairs instead of driveways, narrow redwood-canyon roads where a truck can't get close, and homes cantilevered into the slope. It takes a crew that plans for all of it, and that's what OCD brings to every Mill Valley move.

If you're searching for movers in Mill Valley, you already know this isn't a town you can move on autopilot. Built into the eastern slopes of Mount Tamalpais and wrapped in redwood groves, Mill Valley is defined by dramatic terrain. In the canyons, from Homestead Valley and Blithedale Canyon to the Panoramic Highway ridge, homes sit on steep lots reached by long flights of stairs rather than driveways, on narrow winding roads where a full-size truck often can't pull close and parking is tight. Many of these are early-1900s redwood cottages and custom hillside homes with walls of glass. Down on the valley floor and out toward Tam Valley and Strawberry, you'll find flatter streets, mid-century ranches and easier access. A Mill Valley move depends entirely on which of those you're in, which is why OCD scouts the access before move day and plans the stairs, the carry and the truck around your specific home.
OCD Moving Services is a team of fully licensed and insured Mill Valley movers serving the town and the wider Marin County and Bay Area. We handle local moves across Marin and the Bay Area, long-distance and out-of-state relocations, hillside and canyon home moves, apartment and condo moves, downsizing and senior moves, office and commercial moves, piano and specialty moves, packing, storage and junk removal. Whatever the job, the same promise holds: honest pricing with no hidden fees, free protective materials, and the same full-time crew from start to finish.
In Mill Valley's canyons, the front door is often at the top of a long flight of stairs, not a driveway. Homestead Valley, Blithedale Canyon and the hillside streets are full of homes like this. We plan the stair carry in advance, bring the crew size, straps and equipment to match, and protect your floors and walls, with no surcharge for stairs or a long carry.
The winding, one-lane-in-places roads through Mill Valley's redwood groves mean a full-size truck often can't reach the door. We scout the route and truck placement ahead of time, plan a shorter carry or a smaller vehicle where needed, and move your home safely without blocking your neighbors.
From early-1900s redwood cottages near downtown to mid-century homes cantilevered into the slope with walls of glass, Mill Valley homes have real character worth protecting. Our full-time crews disassemble what needs it, pad door frames and glass, and handle these homes with the care they deserve.

Your cost depends on the size of your home, how much you're moving, and the access at both locations, especially stairs and hillside roads. We don't pad hours or add surprise charges. Every rate is explained before you book, and the rates we quote are the rates you pay. Call or text Daniel for an honest estimate for your specific move.
Yes, it's one of the most common moves we do in Mill Valley. In Homestead Valley, Blithedale Canyon and the hillside streets, the door is often at the top of a long staircase. We plan the stair carry in advance, bring the crew and equipment to match, and protect your floors and walls, with no surcharge for stairs or a long carry.
We plan for exactly that. Many Mill Valley roads are narrow and winding, so a full-size truck can't always reach the door. We scout the route and truck placement ahead of time, plan a shorter carry or use a smaller vehicle where needed, and move your home without blocking your neighbors.
We're transparent about exactly how your move is priced before you book, with no hidden fees and no surprise stair, long-carry or mileage charges. Daniel walks you through every cost up front so there are no surprises on move day.
