Historic Homes, Careful Moves
Narrow stairs, original 1920s doorframes, and hardwood floors that scratch if you look at them wrong. Trinity Park residential moves need care. These are beautiful craftsman bungalows, colonial revivals, and Victorians, but they weren't built with moving trucks in mind. Doorways are a few inches narrower than modern construction. Staircases have tight turns. And every homeowner rightfully cares about protecting those original floors.
Our crews lay floor runners before anything else comes through the door. Corner guards go on every doorframe. We measure furniture against doorways before we start carrying, because finding out a dresser doesn't fit halfway up the stairs wastes everyone's time. Sometimes furniture needs to come in through a window or get partially disassembled. We've done both plenty of times in this neighborhood.
Parking can be tight. Most Trinity Park homes in this Durham neighborhood have driveways, but they're often too narrow for a full-size moving truck. We use the street when needed and try to time the move so we're loaded and gone before the neighborhood gets busy. If you're near Ninth Street, weekend parking gets competitive fast.
Got a grandfather clock that needs to go down a 100-year-old staircase? That's the kind of thing we do. Call us at (919) 682-2300 and we'll come take a look.
