Pasadena homes are older and more varied than most of Los Angeles: historic Craftsman and Spanish Revival houses with narrow doorways and original wood floors, garden apartments with exterior stairs, and newer mid-rise condos along Colorado Boulevard and Lake Avenue with loading docks and elevator rules.
We plan each of those differently. Historic homes get extra floor runners and door-jamb protection and, where needed, furniture taken apart to clear tight hallways. Condo moves are scheduled to the building’s elevator window with the certificate of insurance sent ahead. For the hills in Linda Vista, Upper Hastings Ranch and near the Arroyo we check the street first and bring a truck that can turn around.
Moving within the San Gabriel Valley, to Altadena, South Pasadena, San Marino or Arcadia, is a short hourly local move. Moving farther, the same crew can take you anywhere in Southern California, or on a dedicated truck to Northern California.
