Gentilly covers a lot of ground, from the bungalows on the Gentilly Ridge to the 1950s ranch houses of Pontchartrain Park and the apartments around Dillard, SUNO and UNO. As a Gentilly moving company since 2013, we plan each job around the house type: front steps on a raised bungalow, a driveway on a ranch, a stairwell at a student complex. Licensed by the LPSC (#8127) and fully insured, with Gentilly movers who are AD Movers employees.
Gentilly House Types
Gentilly was built in layers. The oldest part sits along the Gentilly Ridge, where Gentilly Terrace was laid out in 1909 with California-style bungalows raised up on terraces. Pontchartrain Park and Gentilly Woods came in the 1950s with ranch houses and driveways. Closer to the lake and the campuses you find newer homes and apartments. Those differences decide the crew size and the hours more than the square footage does.
Most Terrace houses were built between 1910 and 1940 and sit above grade, so there is a run of front steps between the porch and the sidewalk. We pad the porch posts and the steps, and carry heavy pieces down with two people. Built-in cabinets and older doorways mean measuring before the big furniture goes through.
The 1950s ranches here are mostly one level with a driveway or carport, so the truck backs in close and furniture rolls out on dollies. These moves go quickly. The time goes to packing years of a family house and to the heavy pieces like sectionals, armoires and freezers in the carport.
Have a POD in the driveway or a rental truck reserved? Book the crew without our truck. We load it with blankets and straps so nothing shifts, or unload it at the other end and put each piece in the right room.
Bungalow kitchens and built-in china cabinets take longer to pack than people expect. Bring us in with boxes, paper, tape and wardrobe cartons for the full house, or just for the rooms you have not gotten to yet.

Planning a Gentilly Move
We have been running local moves since 2013. These are the four points we settle with Gentilly customers ahead of move day.
How It Works
You can be booked in a few minutes. Here is what happens between the form and the last box.
Type in your rooms and both addresses using the form near the top of this page. The ballpark appears in about a minute, and you can choose a date on the same screen.
We go over the steps, the driveway, big items like a piano or a gun safe (those carry a specialty charge), and any building rules. Then you get the crew size, the arrival window and the confirmed price.
On the day, the movers bring dollies, straps, blankets and floor protection, wrap everything inside, load by room, and set furniture where you want it at the new house.
Your Crew
Everyone on your Gentilly crew works for AD Movers, has passed a background check and answers to Adonay Pineda, who owns the company; nobody is day labor picked up that morning. They work Gentilly from the I-610 side up to Lakeshore Drive, from a student apartment near Dillard to a four-bedroom ranch in Pontchartrain Park.

The Truck
A full move comes on an AD Movers truck with straps, floor runners, hand trucks, four-wheel dollies and a stack of moving blankets. On a ranch with a driveway the ramp drops a few feet from the carport; on a raised bungalow the crew sets a padded path down the steps. We are LPSC licensed (#8127) and fully insured.

Areas We Serve
Gentilly moves often go to Mid-City, Lakeview, the Seventh Ward or New Orleans East, out to Metairie, or over the lake to the Northshore. We also run long-distance routes to Texas, Atlanta and Chicago.
Common Questions
The crew shows up in the window we gave you, furniture is wrapped before it is carried, and the price stays where we confirmed it unless you sign off on a change, such as an added stop or extra items. If something bothers you, call the office and you talk to the people who run the company.
