Residential Moves
Apartment & Condo Moving
Buildings have rules: elevator bookings, move-in hours, loading docks and insurance paperwork. We plan around all of it, so the move runs inside your time slot.
Apartment and condo moves are about timing and space. The freight elevator may be booked for a few hours, the loading dock may be shared, and the hallway may have one tight corner your sofa has to get around. Homeward Moving Co. plans building moves in advance, so the crew arrives ready, works inside your booking and leaves the common areas the way they found them.
What's included
- Building check — we ask about elevator bookings, move hours, dock access and parking before moving day.
- Certificate of insurance — many buildings ask the mover for one, and we send it to management ahead of time.
- Elevator and hallway protection — pads on the elevator walls, corner guards and floor runners in the halls.
- Measured furniture — large pieces measured against doors and elevators, taken apart when they need to be.
- Efficient loading — carts and dollies so each elevator trip carries as much as it safely can.
- Tidy finish — common areas checked and cleared before we leave the building.
Before moving day
- Book the elevator at both buildings and tell us the times.
- Ask management what they need from the mover, such as the certificate of insurance or a deposit.
- Measure anything you're unsure about, like a sofa, a desk or a bed frame.
- Reserve parking or the loading zone if the building offers it.
Moving into a smaller space?
We'll help you plan what fits. For bulky pieces, furniture disassembly and assembly makes tight hallways easier, and storage holds what you're not ready to part with. See a ballpark in the instant moving estimate.
What affects the cost of apartment & condo moving
Apartment and condo moves are priced mainly on what you're moving and the time it takes. Elevator wait times, the distance from the loading area to your unit, stairs, building time limits and furniture that has to be taken apart all affect the crew's time. Moving two buildings with strict booking windows may need a larger crew to finish on schedule.
Apartment & Condo Moving questions
What happens if our elevator time runs out?
We plan the move to fit your booking, and if a building is likely to be tight on time, we'll tell you ahead so you can book a longer slot.
Can you move a sofa that doesn't fit the elevator?
Often, yes. Many sofas come apart at the legs or arms. If it truly won't fit, we'll talk through the options before moving day.
Do you protect the building?
Yes. Elevator pads, corner guards and floor runners go down before we start, and common areas are checked before we leave.
Do I need to be there the whole time?
Someone should be there at the start and the end to confirm what goes and sign off, and to handle anything the building asks for.
Do you move on weekends in condo buildings?
Where the building allows it, yes. Many buildings limit move hours on weekends, so we check the rules for both buildings before we confirm the date.
