A Residential Move from Friar Street to Lindley Avenue in Tarzana

In August we handled a move from a single-family house on Friar Street to a townhouse on Lindley Avenue in Tarzana.

The client confirmed that we could park at the curb on residential Friar Street near the house entrance. He also told us that he wanted the bedroom furniture carried up to the second floor of the townhouse. At the destination on Lindley Avenue the client had arranged a parking space in the townhome's shared driveway.

We used our standard 26-foot truck for this move. Zurab, Emil, and I handled this job together.

Pickup on Friar Street

We arrived on Friar Street in the morning, as was arranged with the client. Zurab and I started working in two separate bedrooms: I took apart the queen bed frame and Zurab unscrewed the king-sized bed frame. Emil wrapped the furniture in our moving blankets and stretch wrap, as we did with every piece before they left the house. The stretch wrap is billed separately as a disposable material, when we use it. Using our hand trucks, Zurab, Emil and I carried the bed frames into the truck along with the wooden dresser, two mattresses, the desk with the office chair, the bookshelf, the rug, the floor lamp, three nightstands and the wardrobe. Then Emil and I handled the round coffee table, while Zurab took apart the sectional. After that Emil and Zurab loaded it as well as other furniture from the living room. I brought the framed painting and pre-packed boxes including the fragile ones into the truck. Zurab disassembled the rocking chair. Then Emil and I loaded it and the four chairs. The hardest task in the kitchen was to move the fridge and we did it all together. Then Zurab unscrewed the legs from the dining table while Emil and I carried the island cart and the kitchen hutch into the truck. After we loaded the dining table, we checked that nothing could shift during transportation.

Drop-off on Lindley Avenue

We parked in the shared driveway and lowered the liftgate. Emil and I unloaded the lighter kitchen furniture and Zurab screwed the legs back onto the dining table. Then all three of us carried the fridge into the kitchen. Emil and I brought the round coffee table, the rug, the floor lamp, the four chairs and parts of the sectional. Zurab brought the framed painting and boxes. Then he put the sectional and the rocking chair back together.

The part that needed extra attention was carrying the bedroom furniture upstairs. Emil helped me to carry the bed frames first and then we assembled them in the bedrooms. After that we put the mattresses on top. We had to tilt and angle the wooden dresser, the wardrobe and the desk a few times, so they would fit on the staircase. We placed them as the client instructed us. Then Zurab helped Emil and me bring the office chair, the nightstands, and the bookshelf up the stairs.

Once the bedrooms were set up, we placed the remaining boxes in the rooms the client chose, and the move was done.
