Couches Up Stairs and Into Apartments

Tight stairwells, small lifts and awkward corners, handled by two movers.

Getting a couch up a flight of stairs or into an apartment lift is where most DIY moves go wrong: scraped walls, torn fabric, and sore backs. FLYTTE books two movers who do this every week, protect the couch and your walls, and work out the angles before they lift.

Stairs

Tell us about stairs at either end when you book. It makes sure two movers turn up and the price already covers it, so there are no surprises on the day.

Narrow or turning staircases are the hardest. Measure the tightest turn and the couch's depth and height. A couch stood on its end often fits where it would not go flat.

Apartment lifts

Measure the inside of the lift, including the diagonal, before booking. Many lifts take a couch on its end. If the building has a goods lift or needs bookings for moves, arrange that with building management for your time slot.

Let us know about parking or loading zones in the notes. A long walk from the truck to the lobby adds time.

Prices

Real couch jobs booked through FLYTTE have a median price of about $119, and most land between about $106 and $152. The price depends on the distance between the two addresses, the size of the couch, stairs at either end, and whether you need one mover or two. Your exact price is shown before you book, worked out from your actual addresses.

Stairs and long carries put a job toward the top of the range.
