People often say "Bucktown, New Orleans," but Bucktown is in northeast Metairie, in Jefferson Parish, on the Metairie side of the 17th Street Canal where it meets Lake Pontchartrain. It was a fishing and seafood village from the late 1800s and is a residential neighborhood today, with Lake Avenue and Orpheum running through it and the harbor just over the levee. Our Bucktown moving company crews plan the truck spot first, because these blocks are short and dead-end at the canal and levee. For Bucktown movers, call (504) 237-0855.
Bucktown Moves
Bucktown is small, and that shapes the move. Hurricanes in 1915 and 1947 leveled the old camps, the lakefront levee went up afterward, and Katrina put a foot or more of water in the streets in 2005. What stands now is a mix of older small houses and newer construction, some of it built up off the ground. Most moves here are a few minutes from Lakeview, Old Metairie or the rest of Metairie, so the work is the loading, not the drive.
Older Bucktown houses have small rooms and narrow halls, so big pieces get measured and sometimes taken apart. Newer houses built up off the ground mean outside steps, which we pad and work with two movers on every heavy piece.
Several Bucktown streets end at the canal floodwall or the lakefront levee, so a truck that pulls in may have to back out. We look at your block before move day, decide which way the truck faces, and keep driveways clear for neighbors.
Loading your own rental truck, or emptying a POD into a house you just bought? Book our crew without the truck. We stack it tight with blankets and straps, or carry everything in and set it in place.
Garages and storage rooms under raised houses fill up with patio sets, tools and holiday boxes. We bring cartons and tape and pack the house, the garage, or both, and label each box by room.

Planning
A Bucktown move is usually a short one. These four things decide how smoothly it goes.
How It Works
A ballpark online, a short call about your block and steps, and a crew arrives inside the confirmed window.
Add your rooms and the two addresses to the form up top. Within about 60 seconds the ballpark is on screen, with dates to choose from.
Tell us if your street dead-ends, if there is a driveway, and how many steps are at each house. We set the truck spot, the crew size and the arrival window, then confirm the price.
The crew pads steps and doorways, wraps everything inside, loads from the back of the house forward, and sets furniture and beds in place at the new home.
Your Crew
The movers we send to Bucktown are AD Movers employees with background checks, not day labor. The same crews work Lakeview and West End on the New Orleans side of the 17th Street Canal, so a move across the Hammond Highway bridge is routine. The crew lead walks the house with you before anything is lifted.

Truck and Gear
Full moves use our own truck, loaded with straps, moving blankets, hand trucks and dollies. On a dead-end block the driver backs in so the ramp faces your door and the truck can pull straight out when loaded. If the street is too tight, we stage at the corner and roll furniture down on dollies. That is how a Bucktown moving company keeps a short move short.

Common Questions
Metairie. Bucktown is in northeast Metairie, in Jefferson Parish, on the west side of the 17th Street Canal where it reaches Lake Pontchartrain. West End and Lakeview, across the canal, are in New Orleans. For your move the parish line matters mostly for utilities, trash service and address paperwork; we work both sides of it.
Bucktown moves are local, so they are billed hourly by crew and time. Type your rooms and addresses into the online tool and you will see a ballpark in about 60 seconds. In Bucktown the drive is usually short, and the time goes into steps at a raised house, the distance from the truck to the door, and how much is in the garage. That price is confirmed before move day and never grows without your say-so.
Yes, with planning. Some Bucktown blocks end at the canal floodwall or the levee, so we decide before the date whether the truck backs in, parks at the corner or uses your driveway. We avoid stopping on Lake Avenue when restaurant and harbor traffic is heavy. Tell us your street when you book and we will plan the spot.
Yes. On a house built up off the ground, two movers carry each heavy piece down the outside steps, and the rails and landing get pads first. Patio sets, grills and storage under the house are part of the job; tell us about them so the crew and the truck space are planned. Hot tubs carry a specialty charge.
Yes. Our Louisiana Public Service Commission number is LPSC license #8127, we are fully insured, and that covers Jefferson and Orleans Parish alike. Each mover has been background-checked and works for us directly. Buyers, landlords and condo boards that need proof of insurance get it from us ahead of move day.
Book once your closing or lease dates are set. Month-end and Saturday dates fill first. For a date that is days away, call (504) 237-0855; same-day and last-minute moves work when a crew is free. Our hours are 7am to 7pm, seven days, at one rate.
Every Metairie neighborhood from Old Metairie to Fat City and Lakeside, plus, across the canal, Lakeview, West End and Mid-City, and out west to Kenner and Harahan. Northshore moves over the Causeway and long-distance trips to Texas, Atlanta and Chicago are on the list too.
On a Bucktown job you get the crew at the agreed time, a truck spot settled in advance, furniture wrapped before it is carried, and a price that only changes with your OK. Something off? Phone the office and the people who run AD Movers pick up.
