Old Metairie grew up in the 1920s off Metairie Road, which runs along the Metairie Ridge, a strip of naturally high ground in Jefferson Parish. The streets around Metairie Country Club are shaded by old oaks and cypresses, and the houses are mostly pre-World War II, many of them full of antiques. Before move day we check where the truck can stand clear of low limbs and how the big pieces leave each room. Old Metairie movers since 2013, LPSC licensed (#8127) and fully insured.
Old Metairie Homes
An Old Metairie move is rarely about square footage. It is about an armoire that came from a grandparent, a dining table with leaves and a matching sideboard, and original wood floors worth keeping unmarked. We plan those pieces first: what gets wrapped, what comes apart, and which door each one leaves through.
Many streets here have low limbs over the curb and long front walks. We look at the street before the date, decide where the truck parks so the box clears the branches, and lay out the shortest path from your front door to the ramp.
Antique case pieces get emptied, their doors and drawers secured, and each one double-wrapped in moving blankets. Mirrors and framed art are padded and carried upright. We measure doorways for the largest pieces before move day so nothing is forced through a frame.
Moving a few pieces into storage, or loading a POD in the driveway while the house is renovated? Book the crew without our truck. We load, unload, or move furniture between rooms and floors, and you pay for crew time only.
China, crystal, silver and books are the slow part of an older house. We bring dish packs, paper and tape, and pack the full house or only the cabinets and shelves you would rather hand off.

“Great guys....polite, on time, take great care of furniture and personal belongings. Would not hesitate to use them again!”
“Had an absolute amazing experience with this company. Their employees were on time, were professional, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. They also give really good rates compared to other popular moving companies in the city.”
“These guys worked for 5.5h, in the. New Orleans heat! They were awesome, and even though I was way off in how long I thought it would take, the estimate they gave me was exactly right. They did a great job.”
How We Work Here
Four parts of an Old Metairie move that we handle differently from a move out of a newer house.
How It Works
Three steps, and the planning for the street and the antiques happens in the middle one.
Fill the form at the top with your rooms and addresses, and list any antiques, piano or safe. The ballpark shows in about 60 seconds.
Tell us about the largest pieces, the driveway, low branches out front and any stairs. We set the crew size, where the truck stands and the order the rooms are emptied, then confirm the price and arrival window.
The crew lays runners, pads the doorways, wraps each piece inside, and loads the heavy furniture first. At the new house they place it where you point and reassemble beds and tables.
Your Crew
The movers who come to your house are background-checked AD Movers employees, not subcontractors. They work Old Metairie and the rest of Jefferson Parish, from the blocks near the country club to the houses toward the 17th Street Canal and Bucktown. Before the first piece moves, they walk the route with you and agree on what goes first.

Truck and Equipment
We bring our own truck on a full move, carrying blankets, floor runners, straps, hand trucks and four-wheel dollies. Where limbs hang low over the curb, the truck parks at a clear spot down the block or on a cross street, and the crew rolls furniture to it on dollies. As an Old Metairie moving company we settle that spot before the date, not on the morning of the move.

Common Questions
It is an hourly rate for local work. Give the online tool your rooms, addresses and any heavy items, and it returns a ballpark in about 60 seconds. In Old Metairie the time usually goes into wrapping antiques, padding doorways and carrying from a truck parked clear of low limbs. Pianos and safes carry a specialty charge. Before the move we confirm that price with you, and no charge is added unless you say so.
Usually, with planning. Before the date we look at your block for a spot where the box clears the branches, often at a gap in the canopy, down the block or on a cross street. If the truck has to sit farther away, the crew rolls furniture to it on four-wheel dollies, and we tell you ahead of time so the hours are not a surprise.
Case pieces are emptied and their doors and drawers secured. Each piece is double-wrapped in moving blankets and strapped upright in the truck. Marble tops, mirrors and glass come off and travel separately. We measure the doorways for the largest pieces first so nothing is forced through an original frame, and floor runners protect the wood floors along the way.
Yes. The Louisiana Public Service Commission licenses us as LPSC license #8127, and our full moves are insured. All crew members are background-checked AD Movers employees. If you or a building on the other end needs proof of insurance, ask before the date and we email it.
As soon as your date is set, and earlier if you have a lot of antiques or want packing first, since packing an older house can take its own day. When a crew is open we also handle moves on the same day or at the last minute; a call to (504) 237-0855 tells you fast. Our day runs 7am to 7pm, every day of the week.
No. Old Metairie is in Metairie, an unincorporated community in Jefferson Parish, just across the 17th Street Canal and City Park Avenue from Orleans Parish. That rarely changes a move, but it matters for your new utility accounts and your address paperwork. We work both sides of the parish line every day.
All of Metairie, including Old Metairie, Bucktown, Fat City and Lakeside, plus Lakeview and Mid-City in New Orleans, Kenner, Harahan, River Ridge and the rest of the metro. We also run long-distance moves out of Metairie to Texas, Atlanta, Chicago and other states.
You get the crew at the time we set, antiques wrapped in the room they came from, and the confirmed price, changed only if you agree to something new, like another piece or stop. If something is not right, tell us the same day and the owner will call you.
