Apartment Moves Have Unique Challenges
Apartment moving isn't just a smaller version of house moving—it comes with its own set of challenges. Narrow hallways and tight corners. Elevator reservations and time restrictions. Parking constraints and long carries from loading zones. Management rules about moving hours. Neighbors to consider. And often, stairs—lots of stairs.
Maloney's Moving LLC specializes in apartment moves throughout South Jersey. We understand the logistics that apartment complexes require and navigate them daily. From high-rise elevator buildings in Cherry Hill to walk-up apartments in Collingswood, garden apartments in Voorhees to condos in Washington Township, we've moved them all.
Based in Deptford and serving all of South Jersey, we bring the right-sized crew, the right equipment, and the experience to handle apartment moves efficiently while respecting building rules, protecting common areas, and keeping your neighbors happy.
What's Included in Apartment Moving
Building Coordination
We work with management requirements: elevator reservations, loading dock access, moving hour restrictions, and certificate of insurance when required.
Hallway & Elevator Protection
Floor runners, door frame pads, and elevator protection to prevent damage to common areas. Required by most buildings and always our standard practice.
Right-Sized Equipment
Apartment-friendly hand trucks and dollies that fit in elevators, navigate tight turns, and work in narrow hallways where full-size equipment won't.
Efficient Execution
We work within your building's time restrictions. When elevator access is limited, we maximize every available minute.

- Furniture wrapping and padding for scratch-free transport
- Box and item loading/unloading

Apartment Types We Move
High-Rise & Elevator Buildings
Cherry Hill, Voorhees, and other South Jersey towns have numerous high-rise apartment buildings. We coordinate elevator reservations, respect service elevator schedules, and work efficiently within allocated time windows. Our crews understand high-rise logistics—loading dock protocols, freight elevator capacity limits, and common area protection requirements.
Walk-Up Apartments
Many South Jersey apartments—especially in older towns like Collingswood, Haddonfield, and Woodbury—are walk-ups with 2-4 flights of stairs. We're experienced with stair moves and price them fairly. Our crews stay efficient even when every item requires multiple trips up and down narrow stairways.
Garden Apartments & Townhomes
Garden-style apartment complexes are common throughout South Jersey. These moves often involve parking logistics (designated loading areas, limited truck access) and may include partial stairs or split-level layouts. We navigate complex parking lots, long walks to units, and multi-level floor plans regularly.
Condos & Co-ops
Condos often have stricter rules than rental apartments: specific moving hours, COI requirements, security deposits, and reserved elevator times. We handle the paperwork, provide insurance certificates when needed, and arrive ready to work within your building's guidelines.
How Apartment Moving Pricing Works
Apartment moving pricing depends on several factors:
- Apartment size: Studio moves take 1-2 hours; 3-bedroom apartments may take 4-6 hours
- Stairs vs. elevator: Walk-up moves require more time and effort than elevator moves
- Distance: Moving across Deptford differs from moving to Mount Laurel
- Access conditions: Long carries from loading zones, parking challenges, or tight hallways affect timing
- Services needed: Moving only vs. packing + moving vs. full-service
We provide written estimates based on your specific apartment and situation. Most apartment moves can be quoted accurately after a brief phone conversation about your inventory and building conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My building requires a certificate of insurance (COI). Do you provide that?
A: Yes. We provide COI documents for buildings that require them. Let us know your building's requirements when booking so we can have paperwork ready before your move.
Q: My apartment is a 3rd floor walk-up. How much extra does that cost?
A: Stair moves take more time than elevator moves, so they typically cost more. We account for stairs in our time estimates rather than charging per-flight fees. You'll know the expected cost upfront.
Q: Can you work within my building's moving hours?
A: Yes. Most apartment buildings restrict moving to certain hours (often 9am-5pm weekdays, 10am-4pm weekends). We schedule around these requirements.
Q: Do you protect hallways and elevators?
A: Absolutely. We use floor runners and padding to protect common areas. This is standard practice—and required by most buildings. We leave common areas exactly as we found them.
Q: How long does a typical apartment move take?
A: Studio apartments typically take 1-2 hours. 1-bedroom apartments take 2-3 hours. 2-bedroom apartments take 3-4 hours. Add time for walk-ups, long carries, or extensive inventory.
Q: Can you move my washer/dryer?
A: Yes. We move in-unit washers, dryers, and other appliances. We don't handle disconnection or reconnection of gas or water lines—you'll need to arrange that separately.
Q: Are you licensed and insured?
A: Yes. Maloney's Moving holds NJ Public Movers License #39PM00502700 and is fully insured. We can provide documentation for buildings that require it.
