Appliance won't fit through doorwayLos Angeles, California

A new refrigerator, washer, or other large appliance won't fit through the front door, hallway, or into the designated room. Removing doors from hinges often solves it, but tight corners, narrow staircases, or undersized kitchen openings may require disassembly of the appliance or temporary removal of door trim and casings. Professional movers with appliance experience can measure, plan the route, remove obstacles, and manoeuvre heavy units safely without damaging walls, floors, or the appliance itself.
