When To Hire a Professional Moving Company: Apartments and Condos

If you’re moving to or from an apartment or condo, you might think you don’t need a professional mover. But think again! Professional movers are invaluable in moving to or from apartments and condos.

3 Reasons to Avoid a DIY Apartment or Condo Move

Apartments and condos are typically smaller living spaces than houses. Additionally, there’s less storage space (closets, garages, or basements) to hoard items. If there’s less stuff, then there’s less to move. And if there’s less to move, why can’t you move it all yourself?

Physical Abilities of Yourself (And Your Moving Buddies)

Just because you have fewer possessions doesn’t mean you’re capable of moving it. You must take an honest assessment of the physical capabilities of yourself and your moving buddies.

If you or anyone else has back or joint problems or other health conditions, it’s best to hire professional movers. Trying to save some money on your move could be disastrous (or painful!) for you or your moving buddies. Hiring professional movers ensures no one suffers the repercussions of your move.

Heavy and Large Furniture

Just because you have fewer possessions doesn’t mean you have light or collapsible furniture! Most apartment or condo owners still have heavy and bulky furniture like tables, chairs, bedframes and mattresses, couches, dressers, and washers and dryers–just to name a few!

For many apartment or condo owners, moving these bulky pieces is extremely challenging. You have to gather additional supplies (like moving blankets, a dolly, sliders, or lifting straps) and moving these items is physically straining and exhausting.

Stairs

If you are moving from or to a location with stairs, this makes moving that much harder! In a house move, you might have only a third or half of the furniture be transported over stairs. But in an apartment or condo move, every item (big and small!) must go down or up at least one flight of stairs. Sometimes, you have to manage stairs at your present and relocation, and sometimes, you have more than one flight of stairs!

Moving every item up and down stairs is not only physically taxing, but takes skill to maneuver furniture around the tight corners of the stairs. (“Pivot!”)
