Mill Homes, Tight Doorways
Streets can be narrow with limited parking. Some older homes have tight doorways. We bring the right-sized truck. Old North Durham is full of character, but that character comes with moving challenges. These are early 1900s mill worker homes, many renovated beautifully, but the bones are original. That means doorframes that are a few inches narrower than you'd expect and hallways that don't leave much room to maneuver.
Parking near Geer Street is tight even on a normal day. On move day, we need to think about where the truck goes, how long we're blocking the street, and how to get in and out efficiently. We bring a truck that fits the situation and a crew that works fast in small spaces. If the driveway won't work, we use the street and keep the path clear for neighbors.
The housing stock here is a mix. Renovated mill homes with modern interiors behind original facades, new infill construction on tighter lots, and some places that are somewhere in between. Each residential move here is a slightly different puzzle. The newer builds are more standard. The older homes need more care, more padding, and sometimes creative problem-solving to get furniture where it needs to go.
