- Street parkingOld Town streets are tight. We plan where the truck stands.
- Elevator and dockWest End and Potomac Yard towers, booked ahead with management.
- I-395 and the BeltwayA slow morning on the highway never changes your price.

- Truck spotOn narrow Old Town streets we plan where the truck stands before we arrive.
- Tower bookingsWest End and Carlyle elevators reserved, insurance certificate sent.

Case study
Old Town Rowhouse to a West End Elevator
Before the move
The Challenge2-Bedroom Rowhouse, Old Town to West End
Maria S. was leaving a three-story rowhouse off King Street for a two-bedroom in a West End high-rise, and the rowhouse had every obstacle an old street can offer.
- City parking permit
- 30-inch stairs, 2 turns
- Box spring out the window
The estimate: $1912.92 flat rate.
How we did it
Our ApproachPermit Pulled, Window Planned
The estimator saw the stairs and the window in person, so the price covered the rowhouse as it is.
The Results
$1912.92 flat rate
Permit, window lower and a two-turn staircase, one price.
A few feet, not 90
The city permit put the truck at the door.
