Moving a shop, a dining room or a stockroom is a different job from moving an office. Our commercial movers in New Orleans take down and carry display fixtures, shelving, tables, chairs and boxed stock, then set it all back up in the order you want to reopen. Crews can work whatever day of the week you are closed, at the same hourly rate any day.
When people hear commercial movers New Orleans, they usually picture desks. Shops, restaurants and stockrooms are a different job: the work is fixtures, stock and heavy equipment, and the deadline is the day you reopen. We plan backward from that date.
Shelving units, garment racks, glass display cases and the checkout counter come down, get wrapped, and go back up at the new space. Stock rides boxed by department or aisle so your staff can restock in order, and your POS provider reconnects the register.
Dining tables, chairs, bar stools, shelving and smallwares move with the crew. Gas, water and hood connections stay with your licensed plumber or kitchen contractor; once they disconnect, we carry what a moving crew can move safely and tell you up front what needs a specialist.
Shelving, workbenches, tools and boxed or binned inventory move from warehouse space in Elmwood, Harahan or Kenner to the new building. Tell us about pallets and pallet racking when you call so we can say how we would handle them.
On Google we hold 4.8★ across 115 reviews; counting Yelp, Angi and Thumbtack too, the total passes 200. These three come from home and business moves alike. Read them for how the crews follow instructions, handle extra stops and run to storage, which is most of a commercial job.
“Great moving experience: they were quick, handled my stuff with care and very attentive to my instructions on where to put things.”
“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!!”
“The guys were nice and did a good job. They moved our furniture and went to storage units we had near by and got the rest of our furniture. I highly recommend them.”
An office can reopen with a few boxes in the corner. A store cannot open with empty shelves, and a restaurant cannot seat anyone until the dining room is set. That changes how we plan a commercial move in New Orleans: fixtures first, stock in restocking order, front of house last.
Restaurants often close one day a week, and shops can close early. We schedule crews from 7am–7pm every day, and the rate does not change on weekends, so you can move on your slowest day without paying a premium.
Local commercial moves are billed by the hour. You can see a ballpark online within about a minute, the real number is settled with you before move day, and no charge is added unless you approve it. There is no fuel surcharge.
Before move day we agree on what moves first, what stays with your contractors, which entrance and loading area each building uses, and where the fixtures go. The crew lead works from that list on the day.
Three steps, planned around the day your doors open again.
Tell us the type of business, both addresses, and roughly how many fixtures, shelving units and boxes of stock are moving. A ballpark appears on screen in about a minute. For a large store or warehouse, call and walk us through it.
We go over entrances, loading areas and stairs at both addresses, and what your plumber, electrician or POS provider is handling. You get the final price and the move order before the crew arrives.
The crew protects floors and door frames, takes fixtures down, loads stock in the order it will be shelved, and sets the new space up from the back room to the front.
Every AD Movers crew member is background-checked and employed by the company. The commercial movers in New Orleans who arrive at your shop are not day labor from an app; they answer to the owner, Adonay Pineda, and the company has more than 1,000 moves behind it since 2013.
Moving blankets, stretch wrap, four-wheel dollies, hand trucks and straps come on every job. Glass shelves and display case panels are wrapped apart from their frames so they travel flat and padded.
Floor runners go down and door frames get padded before fixtures move, at the old space and the new one. That matters when a security deposit or a new lease depends on the condition of the storefront.
Full commercial moves go on an AD Movers truck stocked with pads, straps and dollies. Shelving and fixtures load so they come off first, then stock by aisle or station. As a New Orleans commercial moving company, we also handle stops in between: a storage unit, a second location, or a pickup on the way.
Using your own box truck or a rented trailer? Ask about our labor-only crews: the same AD Movers employees, loading and unloading the vehicle you provide.
AD Movers holds Louisiana Public Service Commission license LPSC #8127 and is fully insured on full commercial moves across the metro.
We move businesses across the metro, from storefronts in the CBD, the French Quarter and along Magazine Street to restaurants in Mid-City and warehouse space in Elmwood, Harahan and Kenner. Our commercial moving company crews also work Gretna, Harvey, Westwego and Slidell.
Tight loading hours, a shared alley, a narrow side door, or a landlord who wants the move finished before opening time? Tell us when you get your ballpark and we will plan the crew and the timing around it.
Straight answers to what business owners ask us before a commercial move.
Local commercial moves are billed by the hour, so the cost follows the work: how many fixtures come apart, how much stock is boxed, how heavy the equipment is, and how far the crew carries from door to truck. Our online tool shows a ballpark within about a minute, and you approve the final price before move day. Prefer to talk it through? Call 504-237-0855.
Yes. We move businesses any day from 7am–7pm, and a Sunday or Monday costs the same per hour as a Wednesday; there is no weekend surcharge. Restaurants often pick their closed day and shops often pick a Sunday. If the job is too big for one day, we split it so fixtures and shelving move first and the stock follows.
We move what a moving crew can handle safely once it is disconnected: prep tables, shelving, smallwares, and dining room and bar furniture. Gas, water, electrical and hood work has to be done by your licensed contractor before and after the move. Send us the equipment list when you call and we will tell you plainly what we carry and what needs a specialist.
Yes. Shelving units, garment racks, glass display cases and counters come down, get wrapped and go back up at the new store. Stock is boxed or moved on its shelving, labeled by aisle or department, and loaded so it comes off in the order your staff restocks. Your POS provider handles the register and card reader setup.
We move shelving, workbenches, tools and boxed or binned inventory, and we can make extra stops at a storage unit or a second location. Loaded pallets and tall pallet racking usually call for a forklift, so tell us what is on pallets when you call and we will explain how we can handle that part of the move.
Yes. We hold license #8127 from the Louisiana Public Service Commission, and full commercial moves are insured. Landlords and property managers who want a certificate of insurance can get one from us ahead of move day. The crew is made up of background-checked AD Movers employees, not subcontracted day labor.
Two to four weeks gives time to line up your contractors, the landlord and the move order. If the lease end or the opening date is closer than that, call 504-237-0855. Same-day and last-minute moves are possible when a crew is free, which is more likely for a smaller shop.
Yes, but office moves are their own job, built around desks, computers and a floor plan. Our office movers page covers that, and companies relocating employees should see the corporate moving page. This page is for businesses with fixtures, stock and equipment.
