A Westside high-rise means one freight elevator booked in fifteen-minute blocks and shared with two other move-outs that same Saturday. A Lower Valley property in San Elizario means no elevator at all — just a long unpaved driveway and a gate code that has to work the first time the crew tries it. Lightyear treats those as two different jobs, because they are.
What gets handled before move day
- Insurance paperwork for your leasing office goes out the same day Selena Aguirre confirms your booking
- We call your building’s front desk or property manager ourselves to lock down the elevator reservation or dock window before move day arrives
- Runners get rolled out down every hallway and lobby the crew passes through, staying down for the entire carry
- For a rural or farm-town property, gate codes and driveway clearance get confirmed on that same call, before the truck ever leaves our yard
- Whether it’s a studio or a five-bedroom house, the checklist runs in full either way
Give us one contact and access rule, and the rest is ours to coordinate
Guest parking passes, a reserved freight-elevator slot, or a rural gate code that resets every month, whatever your property requires, our office handles it directly, whether that’s an online booking portal downtown or a name written on a clipboard at a Fort Bliss on-post housing office.
Getting your unit or building move done right
- First, the crew clears access Nothing comes out the door until someone’s checked in at the front desk, with the property manager, or at the gate.
- Furniture gets wrapped where it stands Padding happens right inside your unit, never out in a shared hallway or the parking lot.
- The building calls the timing If a strict elevator reservation or a gate that locks at a set hour dictates the window, Marcos Villalobos’s crew works the whole job inside it.
- Then you direct the unload Whatever’s marked on the box tells the crew where it goes, and you confirm the exact spot in the new unit.

Add packing ahead of time if you want it bundled in, since it’s priced separately by default — and a sluggish elevator or a long gravel driveway is already accounted for in the range above, so it won’t bump your total.
