Yes, you can hire movers when you are moving within the same building or inside the same house. AD Movers sends a 2-mover crew with a 2-hour minimum for unit-to-unit, floor-to-floor and room-to-room jobs. Tell us what is moving and where it is going, and the quote is built around that.
From the AD Movers job notes · Updated November 2026
Same Building, New Unit
Short answer: yes, movers do this, and it is one of the jobs we book. Moving within the same building skips the drive, so nearly all of the time on the clock goes into carrying, protecting hallways and setting the new place up the way you want it.
In June we moved a Warehouse District customer from one unit to another inside the same building. The note on that job reads, in full: "Moving within the same building." Short distance, same work: every couch, bed frame and dresser still gets lifted, carried out one door, down a corridor and in through another.
From Our Job Notes
These come straight from our CRM for 2026: the neighborhood, the month, the crew size and what moved. No names, no street addresses, and only the jobs whose notes say what was moved.
A 72-inch kitchen island from the 1st floor to the 4th floor of the same building. 2 billed hours.
From one unit to another unit in the same building.
A move within the same building.
Furniture and boxes repositioned around the house; beds and desks assembled.
As part of a larger job, an antique wardrobe moved from one room to another inside the house and put back together.
Another Floor
The Bywater job is the clearest example we have. A 72-inch kitchen island went from the 1st floor to the 4th floor of the same building with 2 movers, and the clock read 2 billed hours.
What decides a floor-to-floor move is the path, not the distance. Before you ask for a quote, measure the biggest piece, then the narrowest point it has to pass: the door it leaves through, the stair turn or elevator door, and the door it goes into. Those three numbers tell us whether a piece goes through whole or comes apart first.
Stairs-only buildings are common here, from walk-up apartments to raised houses. If your route is stairs, tell us how many flights and whether the stairwell turns.
Inside the House
Not every job leaves the house. In Mandeville in June the job notes read: "Repositioning furniture and boxes. Assembling beds and desks." That is a typical in-home job: heavy pieces moved to a new room, beds and desks built where they will stay.
Kenner, September, 2 movers: as part of a larger job, an antique wardrobe moved from one room to another inside the house and put back together.
If assembly is a big part of your job, our furniture assembly page explains that work on its own. Pianos are a special quote; see our piano movers page.
Renovation and Staging
Yes, we do renovation moves, where furniture goes out and comes back after the work, and we do home staging moves. The five jobs above are a different kind of work. Yours depends on your project, so call and talk it through before you book.
It helps to have these answers ready when you call 504-237-0855:
Building Rules
Your building sets its own rules for move hours, deposits and paperwork, and they differ from one property to the next. Send them to us with the quote request, along with your slot if you already have one, and the crew's time is planned around it.
Not a same-building move, but a move into an apartment: in October, a 2-mover crew moved a Belle Chasse customer into a 15th-floor apartment with a freight elevator.
A habit that saves arguments later: take a few dated phone photos of the hallway walls and the elevator cab before the first piece moves, and again after the last one is in.
Get It Quoted Right
The more of this we know up front, the closer the quote is to the real job.
Real Google Reviews
Neither of these is a same-building move. They are here because the carrying is the same work.
“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.”
“Great guys who worked super hard and took great care of our stuff. Would definitely hire them again.”
Not Quite Your Job?
Loading or unloading something you rented is labor-only moving.
A different building, even down the block, is an apartment move.

Common Questions
Yes. A move down the hall still means every piece leaves one door and goes through another, usually through a shared hallway, stairs or an elevator. We send 2 movers with a 2-hour minimum, and the time goes into carrying and placing rather than driving.
