When the 17th Street Canal floodwall broke during Katrina in 2005, Lakeview took several feet of water, and a lot of the houses you see now were rebuilt or lifted afterward. As Lakeview New Orleans movers, that is the job we see most: a living floor a full story up, a long run of outside stairs, and a garage or open slab below. The streets are wide and most homes have a driveway, so parking is rarely the problem. The stairs are, and that is where our planning goes.
Lakeview Homes We Move
Lakeview has three kinds of homes on most of our jobs: post-2005 houses built high on piers or over a garage, older brick ranch houses still sitting low, and condos and townhomes toward West End. Each one moves differently, and the plan starts with how many steps sit between the front door and the truck.
On a raised rebuild the heavy pieces come down one flight of outside stairs at a time, with two movers on each sofa, dresser and mattress. We pad the stair rail and the landing first, and the crew size is set by the stairs, not just by the bedroom count.
The Lakeview houses that were not lifted are often single-story ranches with a driveway and a carport. Those go quickly: the truck backs up close, furniture rolls out on dollies, and the time goes into packing and the long, heavy pieces like sectionals and armoires.
If a POD or a rental truck is already sitting in your driveway, book the crew alone. We load it tight and strapped, or unload it and carry everything up to the living floor of a raised house. You pay for the movers, not for our truck.
Newer Lakeview houses tend to have big walk-in closets, a full garage and a kitchen with a lot of cabinet space. We bring wardrobe boxes, dish packs and tape, and pack the whole house or just the garage and kitchen that would take you a week.

How We Work in Lakeview
Our crews have been doing local moves since 2013. In Lakeview the questions are always the same, and here is how we answer them.
Booking
A ballpark online, a confirmed date, and a crew in your driveway at the time we agreed on.
Use the form at the top of the page with your rooms, both addresses and the stairs. A ballpark comes back in roughly a minute, with open dates on the same screen.
The office checks the stair count, the driveway, any condo or HOA move-in rules, and whether the new place has an elevator. After that we lock in how many movers, when they arrive and the price.
The crew pads the stairs and doorways, wraps furniture, brings it down to the garage or driveway, loads, and sets it up in the rooms you pick at the new place, beds included.
Who Shows Up
Nobody on your stairs is a stranger hired that morning: each mover passed a background check, works for AD Movers directly and reports to the owner, Adonay Pineda. On a raised house the crew lead walks the stair route before the first piece moves, decides what comes apart (bed frames, table legs, mirrors off dressers), and keeps two people on anything heavy going down the steps.

Truck and Gear
For a full move we bring our own truck, packed with pads, straps, floor runners, dollies and hand trucks. Because Lakeview streets are wider than the older parts of the city and most houses have a driveway, the truck can usually sit a few steps from the garage, which shortens every trip. You are hiring an LPSC-licensed New Orleans mover (#8127), fully insured.

From Lakeview we move people to Lakewood, Navarre, Lakeshore and Lake Vista, south to Mid-City, east to Gentilly, and west over the 17th Street Canal into Old Metairie and Bucktown. Longer moves go anywhere in the metro or out of state.
Common Questions
A crew in the arrival window we confirmed, furniture wrapped before it goes down the stairs, and the agreed price, which only moves if you OK something new on the day, such as an extra stop or a piece that was not on the list. If anything is off, call the office and talk to us directly.
