An apartment move is usually won or lost before moving day: which entrance the crew uses, whether the freight elevator is reserved, where the truck can stop. At Two Sons Moving, we answer those questions while planning your move, not when we ring the bell.
We start with how we get in and out. Stairs, elevators, entrance widths, parking, docks: every building has its own setup and decides how the job runs.
Stairs and walk-ups. Plenty of buildings have no elevator. Crew size and the carry depend on the floors and the stairwell.
Elevators and freight reservations. Many buildings want a freight elevator booked, and we help you reserve it and work within the window.
Docks and service entrances. Condo buildings often route moves through a dock or service door, so we plan the walk to the truck.
Pickup and delivery buildings rarely follow the same rules, so each gets its own checklist.
Move windows. Some buildings only allow moves on set days or hours; we book around them.
Elevator reservations. Where the building requires one, we work within the window.
Certificates of insurance. Some buildings want a COI before any crew enters. Tell us what your property manager requires and we sort it out ahead of time.
Building staff and dock rules. Doorman coordination, freight elevator limits, deposits, cleaning fees: we work within whatever the building sets out.
You don’t have to decode the building’s requirements alone. Tell us what management asked for, and we handle the rest.
Some apartment moves need our truck; others just need hands. We do both: full service with our crew and truck, or labor-only on a rental you arrange.
Full service. Our truck and a crew handle the load, the drive, the unload, and placement.
Labor-only. You rent the truck, trailer, or container; our crew loads and unloads it. A good fit for small moves, tight budgets, or buildings that limit vehicles.
Either way, the same planning goes into access and building rules. Need packing? We do full or partial packing and unpacking after delivery; see our packing and unpacking services.
A house gives you a driveway or garage to stage boxes. An apartment doesn’t: less space, shared hallways, timed windows. So we treat apartment moves as their own job, not “residential with extra stairs.”
The handling matches our residential moving services; for moves within Norwalk and the nearby towns, our local moving services cover both full service and labor-only.
Apartment moves also mean coordinating with building staff and following their rules, like elevator reservations or certificates of insurance, which house moves rarely require. That paperwork is handled ahead of time, so the crew arrives ready to work within the building’s schedule.
A studio or one bedroom with just a few pieces of furniture. You might not need a truck at all. We send a two person crew to load and unload your rental vehicle, or use our own truck if that suits better. We wrap the sofa, pad the table, and protect the floors. The whole job often finishes in a few hours, and the written estimate reflects that. You get the same careful planning, just scaled down to what you actually have.
A two bedroom apartment with a full living room, bedroom set, and kitchen boxes. We bring a crew matched to the load, wrap furniture, pad floors, and plan the route from door to truck. Elevator reservations and parking rules are handled ahead of time. The move runs on schedule, and you know the hourly rate and estimated total before we start. Nothing is booked until you approve the written estimate, so there are no surprises on moving day.
Walk up with narrow stairs, a freight elevator that needs a reservation, or a loading dock with strict rules. We plan for it before the truck arrives. The crew checks stairwell width, measures doorways, and brings corner guards for walls. We coordinate with building staff, work within the time window, and adjust crew size if the carry is long. The written estimate includes the extra time. You get a move that goes smoothly even where access is tight.
Our full service apartment and condo moving solution includes our truck, driver, and crew to handle every step of your relocation. We manage the entire process from loading and transport to unloading and placing your belongings in your new home. Our team plans building access, protects your property with padding and wrapping, and coordinates all the details so your move goes smoothly.
Before your apartment or condo move, a little preparation goes a long way. Our guides cover the practical steps that make moving day smoother, from sorting and packing room by room to protecting fragile items and coordinating with your building. Whether you are downsizing, relocating with family, or moving into your first place, these resources help you plan ahead, avoid common mistakes, and feel ready for the big day.
Share the date, addresses, and size of your move to request an estimate.
Every apartment move starts with how the crew gets in and out. We check stairs, elevators, freight reservations, dock rules, and parking before moving day. That planning goes into the written estimate, so nothing is left to guesswork. Our crew brings corner guards and pads to protect walls and doorways, and we match crew size to the building’s layout.
Condos and apartments often have strict requirements like move windows, elevator reservations, certificates of insurance, or deposits. We work within whatever your property manager sets. Tell us what the building requires, and we coordinate with staff, book the freight elevator, and sort out the paperwork ahead of time. You do not have to decode the rulebook alone.
Some apartment moves need our truck and crew; others just need hands for loading and unloading. We offer both full service and labor only on a rental you arrange. Either way, the same careful planning goes into access, parking, and building rules. Small moves and tight budgets often fit labor only, while full service covers the entire job from pickup to placement.
Apartment and condo moves are our everyday work, not an occasional side job. We handle walk ups, elevator buildings, doorman towers, and complexes with strict rules. The crew plans the carry based on floors, stairwell width, and entrance access. We treat your move as its own job, not just residential with extra stairs, so the plan fits your building.
Apartment and condo moves are priced by the hour, so the building itself shapes the cost: stairs, elevator reservations, parking, and how far the crew carries everything. A typical two-bedroom apartment move lands between $560 and $950, and your exact figure is confirmed in writing.

We help you reserve the freight elevator and plan the move around the building’s designated window. Our crew works efficiently within that time, coordinating with building staff to avoid delays. We also prepare for stairs or service entrances if the elevator is unavailable, ensuring your move stays on schedule.
Just let us know what your property manager needs. We provide the certificate of insurance ahead of time, so there are no surprises on moving day. We handle the paperwork and coordinate with the building to ensure everything is in order, allowing you to focus on the move itself.
Yes, we plan for parking challenges before we arrive. We assess curb access, loading zones, and nearby parking options, then adjust our timeline accordingly. Our crew is experienced with tight spaces and will coordinate with building staff to minimize disruptions, ensuring a smooth move even in busy areas.
