Condo & Apartment Moving
Condo and apartment movers who plan around your elevator
A condo move is a scheduling problem before it is a lifting problem. The building decides when you can move, how long the service elevator is yours, which entrance the truck uses, and whether the crew gets in at all without a certificate of insurance on file. Get that chain wrong and a four-hour job becomes a wasted day, because none of it can be fixed once the crew is standing in the lobby.
So we work backwards from the elevator. You reserve the window with your building, we tell you how long to reserve based on your actual inventory, and the certificate goes to the property manager ahead of the date. The truck is then scheduled to be loaded and at the bay when the window opens rather than when it closes.
Inside the unit the constraints are different again. Narrow corridors, tight turns out of the elevator lobby, and doorways that a full-size sectional was never going to clear assembled. That is normal in a high-rise and it is planned time, not a surprise.
What is included
- Elevator and certificate coordination — We tell you how long to book the service elevator for, and send the certificate of insurance your property manager requires ahead of the date.
- Loading bay and entrance timing — The truck is loaded and positioned for the window you booked, so the reserved time is spent moving rather than waiting.
- Common-area protection — Floor runners through lobbies and corridors, and jamb protection on the unit door. Damage to the building is what turns into a deposit deduction.
- Tight-space handling — Sectionals, wardrobes and bed frames come apart where a corridor turn or an elevator opening will not take them assembled.
- Placement inside the unit — Boxes go to the room they belong in. In a small unit, stacking everything by the door just means moving it twice.
Who this is for
- High-rise condo moves with a bookable service elevator
- Apartment moves in buildings with strict move-in rules and hours
- Studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units
- Moves between two buildings, where both ends need coordinating
What affects the price
Every move is quoted individually. These are the things that actually move the number, so you know what we will ask about.
- Elevator wait time, which is usually the single biggest variable
- Carry distance from the loading bay to the unit door
- Volume, and how much has to be disassembled to clear the corridors
- Whether the building restricts moves to weekdays or specific hours
- Whether you pack yourself or we pack for you
Common questions
- Do you charge more for a higher floor?
- Not for the floor itself. What costs time is the elevator: a single service elevator shared with the whole building, or a long walk from the elevator lobby to your door, adds hours regardless of whether you are on the 4th floor or the 40th. A short carry on a high floor is often faster than a long one on a low floor.
- My building only allows moves Monday to Friday. Is that a problem?
- No, and it is common. Weekday windows are usually easier to book than weekends anyway. Tell us the rule when you book so we schedule the crew for a day the building will actually let us in.
