AD Movers are the apartment movers New Orleans renters call for the parts of an apartment move that go wrong: the narrow stair in a converted Uptown double, the two-hour freight elevator slot in a CBD tower, the certificate of insurance the building wants before anyone walks in. Our own background-checked crews, state license LPSC license #8127, with every full move insured.
Apartment moves in this city rarely come down to square footage. A one-bedroom on the third floor of a Mid-City fourplex can take longer than a two-bedroom in an elevator building, because every piece goes down the stairs by hand. When you ask for a ballpark, tell us the floor, the stairs, the elevator and where a truck can stop, and we size the crew and the hours from that.
Usually two movers and one truckload. We take the bed frame apart, wrap the couch and TV, and carry boxes down in stacks on a dolly where the stairs allow. Most of these moves inside the city are done in a morning or an afternoon.
Usually three movers: one staying with the truck to load it tight while two carry. Dressers, desks and dining tables come apart if they will not turn on the landing, and each piece goes to the room you point to at the new place.
Towers in the CBD and Warehouse District usually want a reserved freight elevator, a loading-dock time and a certificate of insurance. You book the elevator; we send the certificate the building asks for and bring enough movers to finish inside the slot.

“Short and sweet review. The company was very punctual and professional. I moved into a third floor apartment, and all of my heavy solid wood furniture was put into place with not even a scratch.”
“AD Movers was fantastic!! They loaded up my apartment, made a second stop for more furniture, and unloaded everything fast and skillfully. Wonderful company, employees, and customer service!!”
“They were great for our in town move. Very fast and efficient!”
Most apartment move-day delays start with a question nobody asked the property manager. Call or email your building, and the new one, a week or two ahead and get answers to these. Then pass them to us when you book.
Does the building require a freight elevator reservation, and for how long? Is there a loading dock or a set move-in window, like weekdays only or no moves after 5pm? We plan the crew size so the move fits the slot you get.
Many managed buildings want a certificate of insurance naming the building or management company. Ask for the exact names and address they want on it and forward the request to us, and we send it before move day.
Where can a box truck stop? Is there a gate code, a fob for the service door, or a key for the elevator? In older walk-ups with no lot, ask a neighbor to leave the space by your door open that morning.
Three steps, with the building questions answered before the truck is loaded.
Enter the apartment size, the floor at each end, whether there is an elevator, and your date. The ballpark shows up in about 60 seconds, and any building rules you add go on the job notes.
You reserve the elevator or dock time and send us the certificate request; we send the certificate and plan the crew and arrival time around the slot. Then we confirm your price and arrival window.
The crew pads the elevator or the stair rail, lays runners in the hallway, wraps every piece and loads big items first. At the new place, furniture goes to the rooms you choose and beds go back together.
Every AD Movers crew is our own staff, background-checked, with a crew lead in charge who reports to the owner. On a walk-up, the lead checks the tightest turn on the stairs before anything moves, decides which pieces come apart, and keeps one mover on the truck so the carriers never wait.
Runners go down in the unit and the hallway, and door frames and stair rails get padded before the first piece moves, which keeps the building manager and your deposit happy.
Heavy furniture goes on the truck first and boxes fill in around it, so the load stays tight and comes off in an order that matches the new floor plan.
Full apartment moves ride on an AD Movers truck carrying blankets, shrink wrap, dollies, straps and door pads. On blocks with no lot, like much of the Marigny and the Bywater, we plan where the truck stops and how far the carry is before move day, so nobody is circling the block with your couch on board.
If you are leaving with a rental truck or a POD instead, our labor-only crews will load it for you. And if the lease ends before the new place is ready, we can arrange storage through partners and move you twice.
AD Movers is licensed by the Louisiana Public Service Commission under LPSC license #8127, and every full apartment move is insured. Send us your building's certificate request and we will get it to the manager before move day.
From walk-up doubles Uptown and fourplexes in Mid-City to towers in the CBD and complexes in Metairie and Kenner, these are the areas our apartment movers work in most weeks.
Moving out of one building and into another on the same day? Give us both buildings' rules up front. When the two elevator windows do not line up, we plan the gap so you are not paying a crew to wait.
What renters ask us most before an apartment move in New Orleans.
Apartment moves are hourly, and the ballpark is driven by the crew size and the hours, which depend on the number of rooms, the floor at each end, whether there is an elevator, and how far the truck parks from the door. The form on this page gives a ballpark in about 60 seconds; the final price is agreed before move day, and no charge is added unless you approve it.
You reserve the freight elevator or dock time with your building, since most managers only book that with the tenant. Send us the time and any rules, and we plan the crew size and arrival around it. If the building needs a certificate of insurance, forward the request and we send it before move day.
Yes, studios and one-bedrooms are some of our most common jobs in New Orleans. Two movers usually handle them, three if it is a third-floor walk-up with a long carry to the truck. We size the crew to the apartment so you are not paying for movers you do not need.
Yes. We hold Louisiana Public Service Commission license #8127, and every full move is insured. Many New Orleans buildings ask for a certificate of insurance before move day. Get the exact names and address the building wants on it, send them to us, and we provide it at no extra charge.
Yes, walk-ups are everyday work here, from Uptown doubles to Mid-City fourplexes. The crew lead checks the tightest landing first, takes apart pieces that will not make the turn, pads the rail and walls, and carries with straps or a dolly depending on the stairs. Let us know the number of flights when you book so the crew is sized for it.
For a weekday move, one to two weeks is usually enough. The last days of the month and Saturdays are the busiest for apartment moves because so many leases end together, so plan those two to three weeks ahead. If your lease is ending sooner, call (504) 237-0855; if a crew is open we can often move you the same day.
Confirm the elevator or dock time with the building, finish packing and tape every box, and take apart anything you want to handle yourself, like a TV stand or a bookcase. Keep a parking space near the door if you can, and set aside keys, documents, chargers and medicine to carry with you.
Tell us the floors, the elevator windows and the two addresses. You will see a ballpark in about 60 seconds, and we confirm the price before move day.
