Historic homes and older neighborhoods
Redlands has one of the largest collections of historic homes in the Inland Empire: Victorian, Craftsman and Mission Revival houses around Smiley Park, downtown and the old orange-grove estates in South Redlands. They have narrow doors, steep interior stairs and original wood floors. We add floor runners and door-jamb protection, take apart furniture that will not clear a hallway and wrap every piece in blankets.
Students, medical staff and apartment moves
The University of Redlands and nearby Loma Linda University Health bring a lot of apartment moves, many at the start and end of the school year and when residency programs turn over in early summer. Small apartment moves with two movers are quick; book early for May, June and late August. A single piece of furniture can go as a one-item move.
Freeways, heat and Market Night
Redlands sits where the 10 and the 210 meet, so moves to San Bernardino, Riverside and Moreno Valley are short, but the 10 is slow at rush hour. Summer afternoons are hot, so we start early to keep the crew fast and electronics out of a hot truck. Thursday evening Market Night fills State Street downtown; plan a downtown move for another time.
