Apartment & Small Moves in New Orleans, United States

Apartment & Condo Moves — Vehicle and Independent Moving Professionals

From a walk-up apartment in the French Quarter to a high-rise condo in Metairie, our Apartment & Condo Moves marketplace connects you with experienced independent service providers who bring the truck, crew, moving blankets, dollies, furniture pads, and protective equipment needed for tight spaces and multi-story buildings. One simple booking process covers studio relocations, walk-up carries, condo transfers, furniture-only moves, and long-distance apartment moves throughout Louisiana and across the United States.

Our independent providers understand the unique challenges of New Orleans apartment moves — navigating narrow staircases in historic Garden District buildings, coordinating elevator reservations in Uptown high-rises, managing tight street parking along Magazine Street and St. Charles Avenue, and planning moves through congested corridors like Canal Street and I-10. They work throughout the metro area, including Kenner, Gretna, Harahan, and Chalmette, handling everything from single-item furniture carries near Jackson Square to full three-bedroom relocations. Multi-stop moves are fully supported: load from a Marigny walk-up, collect storage items in Mid-City, and deliver to a new condo near Audubon Park — all on one booking.

What makes moving & delivery in New Orleans different

Many older New Orleans buildings lack elevators, requiring carries up narrow staircases in shotgun houses and historic walk-ups.

Street parking is tight in the French Quarter and Garden District; permit zones and narrow streets require careful planning for large deliveries.

Hurricane season prep and post-storm cleanouts create seasonal demand spikes for junk removal and moving labor services.

Why choose VanDeliveryApp for apartment & small moves

Bigger national moving companies refuse small apartment jobs — or quote them like a 4-bedroom house. VanDeliveryApp is built specifically for studios, one-bedroom apartments, and two-bedroom condos: the right-sized truck, the right-sized crew, and a flat price that does not balloon with hidden minimums.

The right truck for the move (not the biggest one)

A studio runs perfectly in a sprinter van. A two-bedroom fits a 15-foot truck. Big national movers will sell you a 26-foot rig and pass on the higher cost — we right-size every booking so you only pay for what you need.

No moving-day "minimum hour" trap

Most national movers force a 4-hour minimum — even on a one-hour studio move. Our pricing is volume-based, so a true 90-minute job costs 90 minutes, not 4 hours.

Stairs and elevator quirks built into the quote

You declare the floor, elevator access, and any narrow corridors at booking. The system calculates the surcharge transparently up front so the crew never asks for cash on moving day.

Damage-deposit-saving care

Door jambs, hardwood, and elevator walls take the most hits in apartment moves. Crews come prepared with corner protectors and floor runners so your security deposit stays in your pocket — not your landlord's.

When people book apartment & small moves

Real-world scenarios this service is built for — pick the one closest to yours when you book.

1First-apartment move-in

Just moved out of mom and dad's? A sprinter van plus one mover handles a typical 1-bed of new furniture in three hours — usually under $400 all-in.

2Condo upgrade move

Moving up to a bigger condo two buildings over? Most "next-block" condo moves finish in 4–5 hours total, including elevator booking windows.

3Storage unit + apartment combo

Pick up from your 5x10 storage unit, swing by IKEA for the new bedframe, then deliver to your apartment — multi-stop is standard on every move-in.

4Roommate swap

Splitting up a 2-bedroom into two 1-bedrooms? Two crews, two trucks, one booking — we sequence the moves so both apartments are settled by sundown.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size truck do I need for a 1-bedroom apartment?
A Large Van or Sprinter Van typically works for a 1-bedroom apartment. For a furnished 2-bedroom, we recommend a 15ft or 20ft truck. Our booking form helps you choose the right vehicle.
Do you provide boxes and packing materials?
We focus on transportation and loading/unloading. We recommend having your items boxed and ready to go for the most efficient move. Our team will handle all the heavy lifting.
How long does a typical apartment move take?
A studio move usually takes 2-3 hours. A 1-bedroom takes 3-4 hours, and a 2-bedroom takes 4-6 hours. Factors like stairs, distance, and amount of items can affect timing.
Can you move items from a storage unit?
Yes! Add extra stops to your booking. We can pick up items from a storage unit and deliver everything to your new location in a single trip.
Is there a charge for stairs?
There is a small surcharge for 2nd-5th floor moves without elevator access (2.5-10%). Buildings with elevators have no additional stair charges.
Can you handle a move on the same day I book it?
Yes — same-day apartment moves are available in most metros if booked before 11am. After 11am we will offer the next-best slot, often the next morning.
What is included in the price?
Vehicle, fuel, independent mover labour, blankets, straps, dollies, and door-to-door work at both ends. Stairs above the 1st floor without elevator add a small surcharge (2.5–10%).
Do I need to reserve the building elevator before booking?
Yes — most condo buildings require you to book the freight elevator with the front desk in advance. Tell us the elevator window in the booking notes and we will lock in the crew arrival to match it (typically a 4-hour block).
Can you move me on a weeknight evening?
Yes. Evening apartment moves (5–9 PM) are popular among working renters. They cost the same as daytime moves on weekdays. Weekend evenings carry a small surcharge after 6 PM in some metros.
What about partial moves where I take some items myself?
No problem. Mark the partial-move option and list only the items you want us to handle. Lower volume means a smaller truck and crew — you typically save 30–40% vs a full move.
