Availability: we come up when needed
Prescott Valley is outside our everyday Valley service area, but we travel north when the job calls for it. Always call 602-615-0712 or text 623-258-8361 before you build a schedule around us. He'll confirm availability, travel and whether the lift fits our truck.
Send as much as you can in that first call or text: the item, its weight, how far it travels from the truck, where the truck can park and a couple of photos. Every lift is different, and on a long trip, getting it right before we leave is everything.
Helpful photos include:
- The street or driveway where the truck would park
- The path from the truck to the landing spot, including any lines or trees
- The landing spot itself: roof curb, pad or yard
- The item's label or spec sheet showing its weight
Best fits for the trip
HVAC change-outs. Heat pumps, package units and condensers for contractors, with old units brought down in the same visit. Lining up several change-outs on one day makes the drive more practical. See HVAC crane lifts.
Spas. Lifted over the house into fenced or walled yards. See spa and hot tub lifts.
Sheds and trusses. Prebuilt sheds over fences and trusses for garages and additions. See storage shed lifts.
Solar and roofing materials staged on roofs for installers and roofers.
High-desert weather and ground
At around 5,100 feet, Prescott Valley has a cold semi-arid climate: freezing winter nights, the chance of snow, and summer monsoon storms with wind and heavy rain. Any of those can delay a lift. Frozen or muddy ground isn't a safe setup, and wind can stop a pick even on a clear day. We'll keep an eye on the forecast with you and reschedule if conditions aren't safe.
Newer neighborhoods may have HOA rules about contractor trucks and new structures, so check with yours before lift day. If the truck needs space in a public street, ask the Town of Prescott Valley about any permit.

Frequently asked questions
How far is Prescott Valley from your base?
About 90 miles from Surprise, usually by way of I-17 and State Route 69. That's a real trip for us, so we serve Prescott Valley when needed rather than every day. Call 602-615-0712 or text 623-258-8361 to confirm availability and travel, and send the lift details so Don can give you a clear answer.
Can you do several HVAC lifts in one Prescott Valley trip?
That's often the best way to do it. If your company has multiple change-outs in Prescott Valley or Prescott, send the addresses, unit weights and setup details for each. Don can look at whether they fit in one day and confirm each lift before you schedule your crews.
What happens if it snows on my lift day?
We reschedule. Snow, ice, frozen or muddy ground and strong wind can all make a crane lift unsafe, and Prescott Valley sits around 5,100 feet, so winter weather does happen. We'll talk with you ahead of time if the forecast looks bad and pick a better day together.
