Walk-ups, mid-rises, and condos in Five Points South, Lakeview, and downtown — we know the elevators, the dollies, and the COI paperwork.
Apartment and condo moves around Birmingham have their own rhythm: a service elevator booked for a two-hour window, a leasing office that wants a certificate of insurance on file, a third-floor walk-up off 20th Street with a stairwell built for one person and a hand truck. Earls Moving Company runs these constantly, and our crew works fast without banging up the building.
From the Lakeview lofts to the high-rises downtown and the garden units out toward Southside, we’ve moved a lot of Birmingham renters and owners.
Drop us the basics and someone in our Avondale office writes back with one firm price for the whole move — you owe nothing, and it’s usually in your inbox within the hour.
The first thing we sort out is access, because that’s what drives the time and the price on an apartment job. If your building requires a certificate of insurance, our office manager Brenda Sims gets it issued to your property manager ahead of move day. If there’s a freight elevator with a reserved window, we plan the load so we hit it. And if it’s a walk-up, we bring enough hands so nobody’s hauling a dresser up four flights solo.
Apartment moves run on our standard local rates: $115 an hour for a two-mover crew and truck, or $155 an hour for three movers when there are stairs or a tight elevator slot to beat. A studio or one-bedroom usually wraps in a few hours.
Here’s where most Birmingham apartment moves land. Stairs, elevator windows, and a long carry from the truck to the door can nudge the time up.
| Unit | Typical flat price |
|---|---|
| Studio | $300 – $480 |
| 1-bedroom | $510 – $840 |
| 2-bedroom condo | $880 – $1,420 |
Need a certificate of insurance for your building? We provide it at no extra cost — just send us the leasing office’s requirements when you book. A $89 deposit holds your slot.
A standard apartment move covers the muscle and the truck. A few things are handled separately:
Apartment and condo moving here isn’t one-size-fits-all, and the building usually decides how the day goes:
Our crew leads, Dewayne Tucker and Jermaine Hill, work these buildings week in and week out, and they pre-walk the harder ones so move day doesn’t turn into a guessing game. Tell us the building, the floor, and whether there’s an elevator or stairs, and we’ll line up the right size crew and a flat price before move day.
Everything our Birmingham crew rolls up with on move day — nothing added later, nothing sprung on you.
“We loved working with this moving company! They helped us move our company into our new clinic and were so kind and easy to be around the whole day. They took great care of everything from start to finish, and made the move feel way less stressful.”
“Courteous, professional and knowledgeable regarding packing our POD.”
“They made a very stressful day actually somewhat enjoyable.”
Send us both ZIP codes and the move date — Earl or Brenda writes back a flat price that same day. Our own uniformed movers, our own trucks, all hired and trained in-house, and the figure you’re quoted holds firm on move day.
