Common Scenarios

When You Need Furniture Hoisting

Narrow Stairways

Your sofa or dresser is too large to navigate tight turns in stairwells without damage.

Tight Doorways

Hallways and doorframes are too narrow for your furniture to pass through safely.

High-Rise Apartments

Building elevators are too small or unavailable, making balcony hoisting the only option.

New Furniture Delivery

Your new furniture purchase is larger than you expected and needs hoisting assistance.

Upper Floor Access

Moving items to upper floors with limited or no elevator access requires specialized hoisting.

FAQ

Hoisting Questions Answered

We use either a material lift or professional rigging system to safely hoist your furniture up the outside of your building to your balcony or window opening. The furniture is securely wrapped and padded, attached to heavy-duty straps and ropes, and carefully lifted up and brought through your opening. Our trained specialists handle every aspect of the process to ensure your furniture arrives safely.

Absolutely. We've successfully hoisted thousands of pieces of furniture without damage. Your furniture is fully protected with moving blankets and padding, secured with professional-grade straps and ropes, and handled by our trained hoisting specialists. We assess every piece before hoisting and take extra precautions with delicate items. All hoisting is covered by our comprehensive insurance.

We can hoist items ranging from small furniture pieces (chairs, small dressers) to very large items (sectionals, mattresses, large entertainment units). Our material lifts can handle weights up to 1,000 lbs. For extremely large or unusual items, we'll assess the situation and work with you to find the best solution. Give us a call with your item dimensions and we'll determine if hoisting is feasible.

We publish our rates up-front (most companies don't). Our Standard Hoist is $595 flat for floors 1–4 with one regular item like a sofa, mattress, or dresser. Premium Hoist is $895 flat for floors 5–8 or oversized items like sectionals, fridges, and gym equipment. High-Rise & Specialty starts at $1,500 for 9th floor and above, pianos, or crane-assisted jobs — custom-quoted based on your building. Text us a photo at (425) 648-7887 and we'll confirm your tier in under 30 minutes.

Many buildings require permission for hoisting. We recommend checking your lease or contacting building management. Once you schedule your hoisting service, we can help you communicate with building management about the process. We've worked with numerous Seattle-area buildings and know the requirements. Our crew will coordinate with building management to ensure everything runs smoothly.
