Norfolk is the part of Hampton Roads where the move usually starts with the parking, not the furniture. The Ghent walk-ups off Colley Ave and the Downtown buildings near Granby St don’t come with driveways, so my crew arrives early, sets up at the legal spot, and pulls residential parking permits where the city requires them. We’ve carried sofas up enough 1900s Ghent staircases that we plan the turn before we lift, and we’ve worked the towers off Waterside Dr where a loading dock has to be booked ahead.
How We Work the Norfolk Streets
On-street loading near ODU and in historic Ghent is about timing and a short carry path. Here’s what we do before the truck even shows up:
- Confirm whether your block (23507 Ghent, 23510 Downtown) needs a temporary no-parking permit, and handle it
- Measure narrow staircases and doorways in the older walk-ups so big pieces clear on the first try
- Stage one mover at the truck while the rest carry, so we never block Colley Ave or a bike lane
- Reserve the freight elevator for Downtown and 23517 mid-rise loads
