What This Move Involved: Townhouse Relocation from Chinatown to Leslieville
This move involved relocating a multi-level townhouse from Chinatown to Leslieville, with immediate planning required due to staircase constraints and fragile household items.
A tall wardrobe located on the upper floor had to be handled first due to a narrow staircase mid-landing that restricted turning space. In addition, delicate porcelain dessert plates required individual packing and upright placement to prevent damage during transport.
Narrow Staircase Mid-Landing
The staircase featured a tight mid-landing that required planned rotation and controlled movement of large furniture.
Tall Upper-Floor Wardrobe
Due to its height and solid construction, the wardrobe required full wrapping and reinforced padding before stair transport.
Fragile Porcelain Dessert Plates
Each hand-painted plate was wrapped individually and packed upright to protect rims and surfaces.
