The Gretna Moves We Do Most

From Mechanikham Shotguns to Terrytown Apartments

Old Gretna, once the village of Mechanikham, dates to 1836, and it joined McDonoghville and Gretna as one city in 1913. That history is why the blocks near the river are full of older, narrower houses, while Terrytown and Timberlane to the south are newer ranches and complexes. These are the jobs we run most often here.

🏠

Historic District Houses

The Gretna Historic District covers about 130 acres and more than 700 older buildings. Front steps, tall doors and one long hallway are normal, so we measure the big pieces against the doorways and plan which ones come apart before they go on a dolly.

🏢

Terrytown and Timberlane

Second-floor walk-ups in Terrytown complexes and single-story homes in Timberlane move very differently. For an apartment we ask about the stairwell, the gate and how close the truck can park; for a house, the driveway and garage usually make the load quick.

💪

Labor Only

Have a rental truck or a container coming to a narrow Old Gretna street? Book our crew without the truck. Before delivery, check where the container can legally sit, because the walk from it to your door is what sets the hours.

📦

Packing & Unpacking

We can pack the whole house or just the kitchen and the breakables the day before, with our own boxes and paper, then unpack at the Gretna address so the boxes leave with us instead of filling the hallway.

Gretna Planning Notes

What a Gretna Move Needs Planned

Most of what decides the hours on a Gretna job is known before move day. These are the four things our office asks about first.

⏱️
Hourly, Confirmed Before Move Day
Local Gretna moves are billed by the hour. The online tool gives a ballpark, the final number is set before move day, and nothing is added without your OK. No fuel surcharge, and the rate is the same on a Sunday.
🏅
October Downtown Events
Gretna Fest has filled downtown blocks near Huey P. Long Avenue in October. In 2026 it ran as a concert series while the marketplace was renovated, and it is set to return as a festival weekend in 2027, so check event dates before you pick an October Saturday.
🌉
Gretna to the East Bank
Gretna sits right across the river from Uptown New Orleans, so a move to the Garden District or the CBD is one trip over the Crescent City Connection. There has been no toll since 2013, and the same crew and truck go the whole way.
🤝
Long Shotgun Hallways
In a single shotgun every piece leaves through the rooms in front of it. We wrap each piece in pads, lay runners on the old floors and load the back rooms in the order they come out, so nothing gets set down twice.

Booking a Gretna Move

Three Steps, One Crew

Here is the order things happen, from the first price to the last piece set in place.

Get a Ballpark

Tell the online tool how many rooms you have, the steps at each end and both addresses; the Gretna ballpark comes back in about a minute. You can also call 504-237-0855 from 7am to 7pm.

Lock In the Day

Choose a morning or afternoon start, any day of the week. We go over parking, heavy pieces and any second stop, and the final price is confirmed before move day.

Move Day

The crew lead walks both homes with you, the team pads and loads, and each piece goes into the room you point to. Tips are optional, and any tip goes 100% to the movers.

Common Questions

Gretna Moving Questions

How much do movers in Gretna, LA cost?
Local Gretna moves are billed by the hour for the size of crew your home needs. The hours depend on how much you have, stairs, how close the truck can park and the drive to the new address. A Terrytown apartment usually goes faster than a full house in the historic district. Pricing it online takes about 60 seconds.
Are your Gretna movers licensed and insured?
Yes. AD Movers holds Louisiana license #8127, issued by the Public Service Commission, and is fully insured for moves in Gretna, Terrytown and the rest of Jefferson Parish. The people carrying your furniture are background-checked employees who report to the owner, not a subcontracted crew.
Can you move me from Gretna to New Orleans?
Yes. Gretna is right across the river from Uptown, so a move to the Garden District, Uptown or the CBD is one trip over the Crescent City Connection with the same crew and truck. The bridge has had no toll since 2013. We plan the start time so the loaded truck is not crossing in the evening rush.
Is moving in Old Gretna harder than in Terrytown?
It takes more planning. Old Gretna has older, narrower houses, often single shotguns where everything leaves through the front rooms, and the street in front may be tight for a truck. Terrytown is mostly ranches and apartment complexes with parking lots. Tell us the house type when you book and we size the crew to fit.
How soon can a crew get to my Gretna address?
Our office takes calls 7am–7pm every day, and a crew can sometimes come the same day if one is open. Saturdays at the end of the month go fastest, so booking ahead helps for those. Short on time? Call 504-237-0855 and we will check the schedule while you are on the phone.
Can you move just a few items in Gretna?
Yes. We move single heavy pieces, a few rooms, or a full house, and labor-only crews can load or unload your own rental truck or container. If one of those pieces is a piano, safe, pool table or hot tub, it has its own specialty charge, explained at booking so nothing is new on the day.
🛡️

When Something Is Not Right

Any change to the plan is explained to you before the crew does it. If something is wrong after your Gretna move, call us the same day and owner Adonay Pineda will call you back himself.
