Marin builds its homes where the views are — which means moving them takes more planning than anywhere else in the Bay. Mill Valley and Sausalito stack houses on hillsides reached by one-lane roads and long stair paths; Tiburon and Belvedere perch above the water; San Rafael and Novato hold the county's family neighborhoods; and West Marin stretches out to Stinson Beach and Point Reyes on roads that were scenic long before they were practical.
Every Marin move starts with the access question — how close can the truck get, and what happens after that — and we answer it before we quote, not on your clock.
Hillside access & stair carries
Half of Marin lives above or below the road it's addressed on. Fifty-step stair paths, decks that double as entries, lanes a full-size truck can't turn on — we scout it, stage a shuttle truck when needed, and bring the crew size the carry actually requires.
High-value piece
Marin homes hold art, designer furniture, pianos, and heirlooms that deserve more than a blanket and hope. We wrap, crate, and inventory the pieces that matter, and we handle them like the appraisal is watching.
Bridge & town timing
The Golden Gate and the 101 set the county's clock, and Sausalito adds summer tourist traffic to its already-scarce parking. We time crossings and town moves around the reality — morning starts, curb plans, no circling.
West Marin & the coast
Stinson, Bolinas, and the Point Reyes towns sit out Highway 1, where the road is narrow, the driveways are rural, and the fog keeps its own schedule. Coastal moves get planned like small expeditions — deliberately.
