- Craftsman and bungalow homes with narrow, turning staircases
- Built-in cabinetry and window seats that limit how a room comes apart
- Landmark-district streets with mature trees hanging over the parking lane
- Long driveways running back to a detached garage at the rear of the lot
The House Sets the Pace Here
A 1912 bungalow does not give up a sofa the way a new build does. Stair turns are tight, the front porch drops a step in the wrong place, and a good share of the storage is built into the walls. Our crews walk the stair and the porch before anything leaves a room.
| Pasadena detail | What our crew does about it |
|---|---|
| Tight stair turns and low landings in older two-story homes | Large pieces measured, and legs or rails pulled where needed instead of forced |
| Mature street trees over the curb lane | Truck spotted where the box clears the branches, sometimes a house or two down |
| Detached garage at the end of a long driveway | Garage and workshop contents staged and loaded separately from the house |
Event days near the Arroyo move the start time
A full house at the Rose Bowl ties up that side of town for hours in both directions. Diego Franco checks the calendar before confirming a date, and when it lines up badly we start early or take the job to a weekday rather than lose the morning sitting in traffic.
Historic blocks add one more layer. Plenty of them have no driveway apron wide enough for a full-size truck and the curb is full by breakfast, so placement gets scouted in advance rather than sorted out in front of your house.
Packing a home with built-ins and a floored attic runs long. Our packing checklist gives you a room-by-room order, the local moving page explains how the flat rate comes together, and the homepage has the rest.
