Collegedale grew up around Southern Adventist University off Apison Pike, and most of the homes crew chief Terrence Wade sees here were built in the 2000s and 2010s — open floor plans, wide doorways, and long open staircases up to a bonus room or loft, which is where a piano usually ends up in these newer builds. Terrence trains every new hire on exactly this kind of staircase, since it’s less about tight old-house turns and more about managing a long, open run of stairs without a wall to brace against partway up.
What Changes Here
- Newer two-story homes near the university often place the piano upstairs in a bonus room, meaning a full open staircase carry rather than a short hallway move
- HOA-managed subdivisions sometimes restrict move times or require a certificate of insurance in advance — Denise handles that paperwork before move day
- Wide modern driveways make truck access easy, but move-in trucks and landscaping crews can crowd the street on a Saturday
