Buildings, Handled

We deal with the building so you do not

Elevator reservations, loading windows, and certificates of insurance are arranged before move day.

Apartment moves without the building-day chaos.

Apartment moves come with their own obstacle course: freight elevator reservations, narrow stairwells, loading zones with time limits, and building managers who need a certificate of insurance before anyone touches the elevator. Miss one and the move stalls before it starts.

Royal Moving & Storage handles the building requirements for Portland apartment moves before move day, so the crew shows up to a reserved elevator and a clear path. From a downtown high-rise to a walk-up in Milwaukie, we plan the access and price the move as a flat rate.

What a Portland Apartment Move Has to Clear

Apartment moves come with an obstacle course of building requirements. Here is what our crews handle before move day.

Freight Elevators

High-rises in the Pearl, downtown, and the South Waterfront require a reserved freight elevator and a booked move window. We arrange both with management in advance.

Certificates of Insurance

Most buildings require a certificate of insurance naming the building before they allow movers in. We submit it ahead of time so the move is not blocked at the door.

Stairs & Walk-Ups

Older eastside buildings without elevators mean stair carries. We bring the crew size and equipment the climb requires so it does not turn into an all-day job.

Loading Zones

Street loading in dense neighborhoods means tight or time-limited zones. We plan the truck position so the crew is not circling the block.

Common-Area Protection

Walls, floors, and shared corridors are protected, so you keep your deposit and the building stays happy with movers on site.

Tight Doorways

Furniture that will not fit through an apartment door is disassembled to clear it and rebuilt in the new unit, with a plan confirmed before move day.

From lease to keys in four steps.
