Junk removal in Studio City

Canyon and hillside homes

South of Ventura Boulevard, homes climb into the hills along Laurel Canyon, Coldwater Canyon and the streets that wind up toward Mulholland Drive. Lots are steep and streets are narrow. On weekends, hikers headed to Wilacre, Fryman Canyon and Coldwater Canyon parks fill the curbs on nearby streets. Some homes have a garage at street level and the house a long flight of stairs above or below it.

Hillside houses here tend to have decks, guest houses and storage under the main floor. A cleanout often covers more space than you'd guess from the street, so photos of every area help us give you an accurate number.

Laurel Canyon Boulevard is a main route over the hill, and it backs up at rush hour. For homes off Laurel or Coldwater, an early start usually means less time stuck in traffic and a smoother day.

The flats and apartment blocks

North of Ventura, Studio City is flatter, with older single-family homes, duplexes and lots of apartment buildings, especially along Moorpark Street and near the river. Radford Studio Center, the former CBS Studio Center lot, sits right in the middle of it, by where the LA River meets the Tujunga Wash.

In the flats we do a lot of move-outs, furniture swaps and garage storage clearouts for property managers and renters.

Ventura Boulevard through Studio City is lined with shops and restaurants, and curb space on it is scarce. Homes and buildings on the side streets are much easier to load from, so if you face the Boulevard, tell us about any alley or back entrance.

What helps on a Studio City job

Agents listing hillside homes here often need a garage emptied or old furniture gone before photos. If that's your job, mention the listing date and we'll work toward it.

• For hillside homes, how many steps there are and where we can safely stop
• Gate codes for driveways and apartment garages
• Whether the garage door works, or if everything has to come out through the house
• Whether big items need to come off a deck, out of a guest house or up from under the house
• For remodels, what's in the pile: drywall, tile, wood or cabinets. See construction debris removal.
• Your preferred date, so we can confirm the earliest time that works
