This is kind of a loaded question. A few boxes and bags down a flight of stairs would not receive any additional charges. However, heavier and bulky items needing to go up or down any stairs, will more than likely receive additional charges. These charges will already be factored into the overall estimate or quote given. We will not add any additional charges at checkout.
