Moving into (or out of) an apartment is no joke. Tight hallways, narrow staircases, and heavy furniture make things tricky. One wrong move, and suddenly, you’re stuck halfway up the stairs with a couch that refuses to budge.
At All The Right Moves, we specialize in handling tough apartment moves. Our Denver apartment moving services are designed to make your move stress-free, no matter how challenging the layout. We know the tricks, the techniques, and the strategies to navigate tight spaces without damaging your belongings—or the building.
Let’s break down how we do it.
Why Are Apartment Moves Different?
Moving from a house is one thing. Moving from an apartment? That’s a whole different ballgame. Apartment moves often come with:
- Narrow hallways and stairwells that limit maneuverability.
- Elevators (or the lack of them), which can slow down the process.
- Parking restrictions that make loading and unloading tricky.
- Neighbors who won’t appreciate a noisy, chaotic move.
That’s why experience matters. Our team knows how to move efficiently, respectfully, and safely—without the headaches.
How We Handle Small Spaces and Tight Staircases?
Measuring Twice, Moving Once
Before we start hauling furniture, we take the time to measure everything. That includes:
- Doorways and hallways.
- Staircase widths and ceiling heights.
- Large furniture pieces to determine the best way to move them.
By planning ahead, we avoid last-minute surprises that can slow down the move.
Using the Right Equipment
You don’t want to lift a heavy couch up three flights of stairs with just your bare hands—trust us. That’s why we come prepared with:
- Furniture dollies to move bulky items effortlessly.
- Lifting straps to handle awkwardly shaped furniture.
- Protective padding to prevent dents, scratches, and wall damage.
- Toolkits to disassemble and reassemble large furniture when needed.
With the right tools, even the toughest moves become manageable.
The Art of Angling and Tilting
Sometimes, a straight path just isn’t an option. That’s where our training comes in. Our movers know how to:
- Tilt and pivot large furniture to fit through tight doorways.
- Use stair landings strategically to make turns without getting stuck.
- Remove doors (if necessary) to create extra space for oversized items.
It’s not just about strength—it’s about technique. And we’ve mastered it.
FAQs
1. How do you protect my furniture during a tight move?
We use padding, shrink wrap, and careful handling techniques to prevent damage. If needed, we disassemble furniture and reassemble it after the move.
2. Can you move large items in a small elevator?
Yes! If an item doesn’t fit, we’ll find an alternative—like stair-carrying or temporary disassembly.
3. What if my apartment has strict moving rules?
We’re used to working with apartment management. Let us know about restrictions, and we’ll adjust our moving plan accordingly.
4. How much time does an apartment move usually take?
It depends on factors like the apartment layout, staircases, and how much stuff you have. On average, a small apartment move takes a few hours.
5. Can I hire you just for loading and unloading?
Absolutely! Our Denver furniture loading services are ideal if you just need help with the heavy lifting.
