A Move from Stagg Street in Panorama City

July, Panorama City, LA. We received a call from the client who needed to move out of his apartment in a 2-story garden-style apartment complex. There was a private parking lot, and the inventory was clear, so we agreed on the date. Since his apartment was on the second floor, I decided to take two movers with me, Volodya and Ulan, so running up and down the stairs would be easier on everyone.

The Move at a Glance

• Pickup: Stagg Street in Panorama City, LA
• Destination: Katherine Avenue, Panorama City, LA
• Property type: An apartment in a 2-story garden-style apartment complex
• Crew: 3-mover crew
• Inventory: A 55-inch TV, a full-length mirror, a dining table + four dining chairs, a microwave, 2 bar stools, 4 storage bins, an armchair, a sofa, a coffee table, 3 potted plants, a gaming chair.

Step 1: The Pickup

The good news was that instead of fighting for street parking, we could easily pull into the complex's private parking lot. First, we set up cones around the liftgate so residents could drive around us safely while we loaded.

The client did a room tour for us, and we started from the living room.

A 55-inch TV went into its original box, and Ulan and Volodya took it down to the truck. Meanwhile, I covered the mirror in bubble wrap that we invoiced separately. They came back and took it down as well. I began to take apart the dining table, and when the guys were back, they helped me wrap each part in our moving blankets. We did the same with the chairs. While Volodya and I brought the table set to the truck, Ulan wrapped the armchair in our moving blankets and prepared it for transportation. Next, the sofa was a tough job for all of us. It was old and heavy, so we had to be extra careful disassembling it. The client asked us to use bubble wrap for every piece for extra protection. The wrap was an additional cost, and we carefully covered every part. When both the sofa and armchair were in the truck, Volodya and I carried the storage bins to the truck. Then I helped Ulan bring the blanket-wrapped coffee table to the truck, and we were back for the potted plants. They were big and heavy, so we didn't box them. We just placed them carefully in the truck. The gaming chair was in the bedroom, so we blanket-wrapped it and carried it outside.

The microwave and 2 bar stools were waiting for us in the kitchen. We used our moving blankets again to protect the items and loaded them onto the truck. The client checked every room one more time, and once he was sure everything was on the truck, we set off for the drop-off.

Step 2: The Drop-off

At the next place, we parked the truck at the curb right in front of the house. There were two ways in: a brick walkway on one side and the gravel driveway on the other. We used the walkway for the dolly, since the gravel would have made rolling heavy pieces harder.

So, the microwave and the two bar stools went to the kitchen. Ulan took off the packing materials and placed all items where needed. I rolled the gaming chair to the den and came back for the potted plants. Volodya helped me unload them all. Then Ulan and I managed the coffee table that went to the living room together with the storage bins. We also brought in the armchair and prepared to assemble the sofa. It wasn't a quick job, but we finished it and set the two pieces up together in the living room. Volodya brought the parts of the dining table, and we reassembled it. Ulan was already there with the four chairs, and the whole set went to the kitchen. I carried the mirror to the bedroom. Once the packing was off, I checked it for damage and placed it in the corner. Then I helped Volodya bring in the TV, which went on the TV stand the client already had in a new place. We checked it to make sure it had a safe trip.
