I just moved into a new place and the sofa that I have will not fit into the elevator or the stairwell because the hallways are too narrow to get the correct angle. I want to get a quote on hosting up some outside and in over the balcony.

Hello, and thank you for visiting Movers.com!

If you have a bulky sofa that you cannot fit up the stairs or into an elevator, you require what is known as "hoisting services". Many full-service movers and moving labor offer this service to aid you in getting your large pieces of furniture into your home.

What Are Hoisting Services?

A crew of trained moving professionals will hoist your sofa over your balcony after padding it for protection and wrapping it securely with heavy-duty straps. The movers know the best procedures to ensure safety and prevent damage to your sofa and home.

Charges for hoisting items are usually determined by weight, height of the hoisting, and accessibility.
