- Downtown streets can be narrow with limited parking—confirm where the truck can legally stop and how long loading is allowed.

Yes. Downtown moves often involve stairs, narrow streets, and limited truck access. Share parking/loading details and stair counts up front so movers can quote accurately and arrive prepared.
Weekends and month-end dates book up quickly. If your dates are flexible, weekdays often have better availability. Weather can also affect timing, so plan buffer time for rainy or windy days.

Ask what’s included (travel time, fuel, stairs/long carries), whether they’re insured, their cancellation policy, and whether you’ll receive a written estimate/contract. Clear scope upfront prevents surprises.
