Start at the loading entrance.
The nearest door may not be the one movers can use. Check the loading location, the walk to the unit and any building restrictions before settling the moving window.
Dos Manos Moving
A move through your building.
A piece of furniture has to make it through the room, the doorway and the building before it reaches the truck. Stairs, elevators and shared spaces all shape the work.
Apartment and condo moving
What we plan with you.
- The carry path through doors and shared spaces
- Your building’s moving hours and elevator arrangements
- Furniture handling and placement at the destination
Check your building’s elevator, loading and moving rules before the date is settled.
“We hired Dos Manos for an interstate move … They handled all items with care.”

Reserve the access your building requires.
Ask management about elevator bookings, moving hours and required documents. Tell us whether the elevator can be used for the actual pieces being moved and where stairs remain on the carrying path.
Check the pieces that could be a tight fit.
Photos of a large sofa, a narrow landing or an awkward doorway help us discuss the approach. Include those details at both the old and new building.
Before you book.
What should I ask building management?
Ask about allowed moving hours, elevator reservations, loading locations, protection requirements and any documents the building wants. Send those requirements to the team before the date is confirmed.
Do I list stairs if the building has an elevator?
Describe the route the furniture will actually take. There may still be steps before the elevator or at the unit, and some pieces may not fit inside it.
What if the truck cannot park near the entrance?
Give your best estimate of the walk and describe any gate, courtyard or loading restriction. The form provides walking examples; the team reviews the actual access with you.
Can I request a move before my new unit is final?
Provide the destination details you know and mark what remains undecided. Exact access, building requirements and scheduling still need to be confirmed before booking.
Leave the lifting to us.
