Destrehan is an east-bank St. Charles Parish community of about 11,300 people, stretched along River Road (LA 48) with the Ormond subdivisions behind it and I-310 running through on its way to the Hale Boggs Memorial Bridge. As a Destrehan moving company based in New Orleans, we bring our own truck and our own background-checked crew upriver, and we charge local moves by the hour. Comparing Destrehan movers?

Moves We Run in Destrehan
Destrehan takes its name from Jean Noël Destréhan, whose plantation house still stands on River Road. Behind River Road are the family neighborhoods — the Ormond subdivisions, Red Church, Brandon Hall — along with Destrehan High School and Harry Hurst Middle. So a typical Destrehan job is a full house move, either within St. Charles Parish or over to Kenner and Metairie.
For a Destrehan house, we plan the load by room and send enough people to keep the day moving: beds and dressers taken apart and rebuilt, the dining table padded and wrapped, garage shelving and yard tools loaded last so they come off last.
Armoires, china cabinets and old mirrors get paper pads first, then blankets, with cardboard on the corners. Glass doors and loose shelves come out and travel separately. Tell us which pieces are irreplaceable when you book, so the crew lead plans where they ride in the truck.
Doing the driving yourself? Hire an hourly crew to load your rental or the container in your Destrehan driveway, or to unload it at the other end. They stack it heavy-to-light, fill the gaps and strap each section.
We can pack only the kitchen and the fragile cabinets, or the whole house the day before the move. Boxes are labeled by room, so the crew puts them in the right place at your new home instead of stacking everything in the garage.

Planning a Move Upriver
Destrehan is outside New Orleans and outside Jefferson Parish, so a few details matter more here. These are the ones our crew lead covers on the phone before move day.
How It Works
You do not need anyone to come out for an estimate. Most Destrehan moves are planned from the quote form and one phone call.
Rooms, large furniture, both addresses and your date go into the form. About 60 seconds later you see a ballpark. If you have a piano, gun safe or pool table, note it — those carry a specialty charge.
After a quick review together, you get the final price and an arrival window confirmed in advance. Weekend moves are billed at the same rate as weekdays, and nothing is added on the day without your OK.
The crew pads and wraps furniture, loads our truck, drives it to your new address and puts each piece in the room you choose. Tips are optional, and every dollar of a tip goes to the movers.
Who Comes Out
AD Movers has been moving families around New Orleans since 2013 and has done more than 1,000 moves. The crew that comes to Destrehan is led by an experienced mover who walks the house with you before anything is lifted, decides what comes apart, and keeps a running count of boxes and pieces. Hardware for every bed and table goes in a marked bag taped to that piece, so reassembly at the new house goes quickly.

The Truck
Every full move uses an AD Movers truck that the crew drives, so you are not renting anything. It pulls up with quilted blankets, paper pads for wood finishes, plastic wrap, runners, jamb guards, dollies, a hand truck, ratchet straps and a full tool kit for disassembly. Mattress bags and wardrobe boxes are available — ask for them when you book.

Areas We Serve
Destrehan moves often go next door to St. Rose or Norco, across the Hale Boggs Memorial Bridge to Luling and the West Bank, upriver to LaPlace, or down I-10 to Kenner, Metairie and New Orleans.
Leaving Louisiana? We also run long-distance moves from the New Orleans area to Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Atlanta and Chicago, priced as a flat amount.
Common Questions
What you book reflects what you described. A forgotten attic or a hutch too tall for the new doorway gets explained to you, and the crew waits for your OK before going on. If something goes wrong on your Destrehan move, tell us that same day and the owner, Adonay Pineda, will call you.
