Tips for Moving into an Apartment Building with No Elevator

by | Sep 21, 2022 | Features

When moving into a new apartment complex, many movers are counting on the ability to access an elevator for ease of transport. If an elevator isn’t available at the new unit, there are ways to ensure that you’re still able to transport even your largest items. For instance, even if after measuring you find that certain furniture or appliances are too large to maneuver naturally, you can always disassemble them into smaller pieces, and reassemble once you’re settled in.
