Mt. Vernon Moves Up the Brownstone Stairs
I’m Vincent Marchetti. Mt. Vernon, sitting under the Washington Monument with Peabody Conservatory at its shoulder, is one of the most beautiful and one of the most physically demanding neighborhoods I move in. The brownstones go four floors up, the staircases turn twice, and the woodwork is original. You don’t send a two-person crew into a Mt. Vernon move.
The Mt. Vernon Move Playbook
- Four-mover minimum on any brownstone above the second floor
- Banister and newel-post protection installed before the first box
- Marble-and-iron stoop covered against scuffs and salt
- Piano carries handled by our specialty lead
- Long-load shuttle from the back lane where Charles Street parking won’t allow it
Honest Mt. Vernon Pricing
Two movers and a truck $155 an hour, three movers and a truck $205. Brownstones nearly always need three or four. I write a flat rate in writing before move day, and the long-carry up four flights is built in — never a surprise.
A Typical Peabody-Area Move
- Fourth-floor walk-up off St. Paul Street
- Concert-quality upright piano on the third-floor landing
- Banister wraps installed top to bottom
- Out to a Roland Park Victorian where the receiving crew handles the porch carry
