Yes. Stairs are normal for NMLP. The hand truck handles most situations and Josh has done thousands of pickups across multi-level Albuquerque homes:
- Second- and third-floor apartments without elevators — common in Nob Hill, EDo, the UNM area, and the Heights. NMLP makes multiple trips with the hand truck.
- Basement libraries — common in the Heights, the Foothills, and older Northeast Albuquerque homes. NMLP carries up the stairs.
- Multi-level houses with the books on different floors — NMLP starts at the top and works down so gravity helps.
- Adobe homes with split levels — common in the North Valley, Old Town, and the South Valley. NMLP handles single-step transitions easily.
- Storage units on upper floors — rare in ABQ but not unknown. NMLP works with elevator access where available.
- Steep driveways — common in the East Mountains and the Foothills. NMLP parks where the truck fits and handles the carry.
Mention stairs when you call 702-496-4214 so Josh expects them. If the load is unusually large for a stairs-only path (say, an estate library on the third floor of a no-elevator building), NMLP may schedule extra time.
