Between the river and S. Claiborne, from Louisiana Avenue up to the Riverbend, most houses have no driveway, the side streets run one way under live oaks, and Carnival parades take over St. Charles and Napoleon. We set the date around the parade schedule, pick the closest legal curb for the truck, and measure old doorways before anything is lifted. AD Movers has worked these blocks since 2013.

Uptown Moves We Handle
Very few Uptown houses have a driveway. The truck parks at the curb, often on a one-way street under oak limbs, and every piece travels down the front steps, across the sidewalk and up the ramp. Inside, staircases are often original and steep, and the doors were hung long before anyone owned a king bed. Those are the conditions we plan for on each job between the river and S. Claiborne.
From a single shotgun off Freret to a two-story family home near Audubon Park, we wrap each piece in moving blankets inside the house, lay runners over old wood floors, and load the truck in the order the new place will be unloaded.
A queen box spring often won't pass a shotgun doorway flat, so it goes through on edge. Camelback stairs are narrow and turn hard, so dressers come down empty. When a piece can't make the turn, it can go over the front gallery rail, one mover above and one below, with the rail padded first.
Loading your own rental or a POD on a narrow Uptown block? Our crew stacks it tight, pads it and straps it. You handle the truck and the parking; we bring the hands, dollies and blankets.
We bring boxes, paper and wrap for full or partial packing a day or two before the move. China cabinets are emptied and the glass packed on its own; framed art gets corner protectors and rides upright.
What Customers Say on Google
Word for word from our Google Business Profile, where AD Movers is rated 4.8★ across 115 reviews.
“Short and sweet review. The company was very punctual and professional. I moved into a third floor apartment, and all of my heavy solid wood furniture was put into place with not even a scratch.”
“Wonderful experience. Movers were very helpful and even got a large treadmill downstairs without having to disassemble. Great group of workers!”
“I used AD for a move within the city. They were professional and hard working. I would definitely use them for a move again in the future.”
Why Uptown Customers Call Us
AD Movers has moved New Orleans families since 2013, with crews who work for the company and answer to the owner, Adonay Pineda. Four things decide how an Uptown job goes.
How It Works
Three steps, and you can talk to a person at any point.
Start with the form at the top. It asks about home size and access and shows a ballpark price right on the page, usually within a minute.
Tell us how many front steps there are, where the stairs turn, the narrowest door and where a truck can legally park. In Carnival season we'll check your street against the parade schedule before locking in the date.
The crew arrives inside the confirmed window with blankets, dollies, straps and jamb pads, walks the house with you, and starts with the pieces that need the most care.
Your Uptown Crew
Our crews are background-checked AD Movers employees, not day labor, and they answer to the owner. On an Uptown job that shows in small things: keeping the shared porch of a double clear for the neighbor, asking which room each box goes to, and setting beds up before they leave. We also work Carrollton, the Garden District, Broadmoor, Mid-City and the rest of Greater New Orleans.

Trucks and Parking
Before move day we look at your block: which way the one-way runs, whether oak limbs hang low over the curb, and where the nearest legal space is. That decides the truck and where it parks. If you can, park a car or two in front of the house the night before and move them when we arrive; a shorter carry means fewer hours. We're a licensed Uptown New Orleans moving company, and every truck carries pads, dollies and straps.
