Apartment Movers
& Condo Moving
Moving into a new apartment or condo comes with challenges and considerations that don't apply to single-family home moves. Mission Minded Moving knows how to work with both your new building and your old building to make sure your move goes smoothly. We're also experts in managing the concerns you might have with any move, like sticking to your timeline and ensuring that your furniture and other possessions make it safely to your new home.
Understanding the Unique Challenges of Apartment and Condo Moves
There are a few unique challenges that apartment movers and condo movers need to pay attention to. Buildings and HOAs usually have specific rules about when and how new residents move in. Especially in denser urban areas, buildings may not have parking available or may not have convenient parking near the building entrance. Some cities may require additional permits for street parking during a move. In high rises, new residents and residents who are moving out can book time to use the building's freight elevators, which offer more space for larger items like furniture. Apartments and condos are also smaller than single-family homes on average, so these moves will usually have fewer items. Experienced apartment movers know how to maneuver furniture through tight spaces carefully, work within the time slots provided for using the building's freight elevator, and unload boxes in a busy area.
Importance of Packing and Furniture Protection
Packing correctly is important for any move, but it's especially important for apartments and condos. In many of these moves, your apartment moving company will need to take your boxes and furniture out of your old apartment, down a hallway, down an elevator, through a lobby, or another hallway, and then load it onto the moving truck. Then, the movers will repeat this process in reverse at your new apartment or condo. All of these steps mean there are more opportunities to drop a box or bump a piece of furniture into a wall, so secure packing is essential. We'll wrap and pad your furniture before we start moving to keep it protected. During the move, we'll also use floor runners and other tools to avoid the risk of damage in your building's shared spaces. When we pack your other items, we'll individually wrap fragile items, including plenty of cushions, place heavier items in smaller boxes, and use other techniques to ensure that your things make it to your new home in perfect condition.
