Moving in LA: What the experts say

Recently a bonafide moving expert, Russell Rabichev, offered some good tips on the complexities that can be encountered when moving into or out of an LA apartment.

The CEO of Melrose Movers, here’s what Rabichev had to say about what you should consider when getting ready to plan your next big move:

“If you are moving into or out of an apartment in Los Angeles, know that there usually are some challenges to consider. Moving into an apartment is not the same as moving into a house. There are stairs and elevators, neighbors, tight parking spaces, and buildings’ rules to think about. The following are some tips for those who may be moving into, out of, or between apartments,” Rabichev pointed out.

“Consider the layout of the stairways, corridors, and elevators in your apartment building. Measure your items, the doorways, elevators, or stairways to make sure everything is going to fit. Consider taking apart, and taking the legs off the beds, dressers and other furniture, if possible. It would be a time saver to do this during your packing stage to avoid delays on the day of your move.”

As a moving professional, Rabichev is naturally an advocate for enlisting professional help to assist you with your moving experience:

“Make sure you have help. After all, moving large items always involves at least two people, and even with a couple of people, lifting and carrying heavy items may lead to sprains, falls, and serious back injuries. Having friends or family members around during your move is helpful, but hiring Los Angeles Melrose Movers would be ideal as they are professional and would move your things in a fast and efficient manner,” Rabichev said.

“If you will be downsizing and moving to a smaller apartment, you know there are some things that won’t fit in your new home. You can either sell them, give them away to friends, or donate them to a local Goodwill or Salvation Army. They often pick up good-quality used furniture, giving you less of a headache in dealing with getting rid of your unwanted items.”

Excellent advice! Thanks, Russell.
