Homewood movers for streetcar-era blocks and new condos

Apartment moves and bungalow moves make up most of what Tunj Control Moving does in Homewood, AL. We move households out of 1920s cottages in Edgewood and Hollywood, mid-century ranches around Mayfair and Lake Drive, and the condos and rentals near 18th Street South and Lakeshore Drive. Our movers in Homewood see more porch steps than garages, since most of the historic houses were built without one. Tunj Control has spent 5 years moving Birmingham households and holds a 4.8-star average across more than 200 Google reviews. We are licensed and insured, and our 25+ movers are trained, background-checked, and uniformed. Our office at Perimeter Park is a short drive up US 280 from Homewood.

Homewood housing stock, from Craftsman bungalows to SoHo lofts

Homewood is built out at a little over 8 square miles, so nearly every move here involves a house that already exists. The city grew up in the streetcar and early automobile years, which explains the compact blocks, the sidewalks and the small lots.

Bungalows and cottages in Edgewood, West Homewood and Rosedale

The 1920s to 1940s houses have front porches on brick piers, multi-pane windows and original hardwood floors, and most were built without a garage. Rosedale adds small vernacular homes and shotgun houses. The truck parks on the street, floor runners go down on the hardwood, and the porch steps get padded.

Spanish and Tudor revivals in Hollywood

Hollywood started as a 1926 subdivision and is now a National Register historic district with 412 contributing buildings. Stucco walls, red clay tile roofs and steep Tudor gables mark the streets, with plaster, arched doorways and decorative tile inside. Wide pieces get measured against those arches before anyone lifts them.

Mid-century ranches and teardown rebuilds

Postwar ranches in Mayfair, Lake Drive Estates and West Homewood sit on one floor with attached garages. Newer construction is mostly teardown rebuilds plus the Forest Ridge development, with finished basements that add a flight of stairs to the job.

Condos, lofts and townhomes downtown

Downtown Homewood and SoHo hold condos, lofts and compact townhomes, including new condos that arrived in 2023, and those moves run on the building’s elevator and loading rules.

When Homewood moves: August, closings, and the end of every month

Samford University sits on 247 acres along Lakeshore Drive with about 6,500 students, and fall move-in lands in the third week of August. Campus housing moves in through the university’s own unloading zones, but off-campus apartments and rental houses around Lakeshore Drive and Oxmoor Road turn over the same week. Book that week early.

The rest of the calendar follows home sales and leases. Homewood houses tend to sell within a month, so closing dates set a lot of move dates on short notice. Weekends and the last few days of each month fill first, which is why we recommend booking 1 to 2 weeks ahead. The Fourth of July festival also closes two blocks of 18th Street South, so a downtown condo move belongs on a different day.
