Permit Puller

Permit Pullers helped me survive a really terrible moving situation. Not only did they get me the permits I needed quickly they also hung them up a few days before they went into effect.
However, the city decided the day of my move was a great day to start construction so a lane of traffic was shifted to where my moving truck was supposed to be permitted to park. After working out how I was going to make my move happen (because my permit was useless) Permit Pullers did all the work to get my money back from the city. My permit had been pretty pricey because it took up metered spots and I really appreciate the fact that I had to do nothing except let them know what happened and the rest was taken care of.
If you hate moving in a city as much as any normal person does I highly recommend Permit Pullers.

I may be leaving this review in the wrong spot, but I didn’t see a PermitPuller or
listing specifically for where I used them — West Hollywood, CA. I think I had a local person («Wendy» is listed on the copy of my permit) who completed the paperwork at my City Hall. I also dealt mostly with Kevin Backman via email, and briefly, with David Backman. They were both prompt when it came to responding to my emails, which was very fortunate because I contacted them without a ton of advance notice. Because this was my first time ever needing a permit for a moving van, I bombarded them with questions and updates (probably driving them crazy in the process, but they never showed any frustration with me, just a willingness to help).
My case was somewhat tricky, because the address of my building is not the same as I where I needed my moving van to park. If the truck had parked on the street where the actual address is, it would have been a nightmare — tons of stairs and a very long walk! Fortunately, Kevin alleviated my fears by actually having the local person confirm that it was OK to have my signs posted on the nearby street, and he confirmed it himself, too. Plus, they sent me a revised copy of my permit with additional notes just so I was positive I would be OK. Also, I don’t know if somebody else was moving on that street when I was, but there were 4 NO PARKING signs up 5 days before my move, and at least 2 of those were for me. Of course, some fools parked in my spot on the day of my move anyway, but fortunately my moving company was able to park just slightly in front of the ideal location, so it ended up being fine. I sure was tempted to have those people who didn’t follow the rules towed, though! But I didn’t because where the movers ultimately parked was fine, and because parking is totally insane in this neighborhood.
Thanks again,
Puller!

Very good. They placed the signs, flyers and emailed & snail mailed the permit. Definitely worth the money to not have to go to city hall. Will use again!

I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU USE PERMIT PULLER FOR YOUR MOVE — it is obviously more expensive then doing it yourself but you save yourself the time and energy of getting to City Hall during work hours… standing in line… it’s just such a hassle. However, using Permit Pullers is fast, easy and gives you peace of mind that it will be done — on time and correctly and it’s one less thing you have to worry about when you move.

Best money spent during my move. New to city moving and Permit Puller made everything go so smoothly. Service was super speedy, everything was in order on move day and the communication was awesome. Highly recommend this !

Wonderful experience. Worth every penny. Would use again. Professional. Easy to contact. Saved me a lot of time.

Hired them through
for a local move to Santa Monica. They were communicative, timely, and professional. Will certainly hire them again for moves in the future.

was so thrilled to find out about this service as there was NO way I was going to be able to get a permit by myself for my move to Boston from Baltimore given the required signage and flyers that have to be posted beginning 48 hours ahead of the move. Though people ignored the no parking signs (which permit puller can’t control), I was glad that I had them and in the end it worked out without me having to tow anyone, but it was good to know that if I’d needed to, I could have since I had the permits. Would highly recommend.

Worth every penny! Like one of the reviewers I found out through my moving company about this organization that helps to secure permits. If you are like me and have a busy job and don’t have any time to stand in city hall to process the permits, these guys will do it for you.
Within a day I received an email confirmation and saw that the signs were up in the neighborhood. It made the move a lot easier.

Great service. Arranging a move from Boston to CT from my office in NYC was a nightmare. Permit Puller made it much easier. Because of Gentle Giant’s ridiculous pricing I decided to use a CT based mover. The problem was that they had no idea how to get a street permit. When I first looked into the process online I was freaked out, but then I found permit puller and everything was as easy as could be. Do yourself a favor and use these guys rather then wasting your valuable time sitting city hall.

I actually heard about Permit Puller through the moving company I used. Was a bit hesitant at first to pay the $ 97, but I was very glad I did it. It was worth the money to not have to worry about parking for the huge truck. The permits were posted 48 hours as promised and flyers were even put onto nearby cars’ windshields to give them ample warning.

Ok, so I’m lazy. Do I really want to have to deal with City Hall and whatnot to get permits so my moving truck can park right in front of my house? Umm, no. Definitely not.
So, welcome Dave Backman. Dave’s a nice guy, and helpful, too. I’ve used this service twice. Yeah, I know, plenty of people just wing it and try to make it work without the permits. I’m boring, I play by the rules (most of the time).
I wish it weren’t so expensive. But I guess it’s akin to tickets at Fenway, if people will pay it, then why would you charge less? I’ve used Permit Puller twice now, and would again just to avoid the hassle. I guess that says it all.

Permit puller is a ninja who takes care of everything related to getting parking for your moving truck. It’s worth the $ 97 dollar charge to avoid getting mummified in red tape at City Hall.
