Bronx movers, from Riverdale to Fordham

The Bronx is really several boroughs in one. A move here can start at the top of a Riverdale hill, through a porch in Throggs Neck, in a prewar elevator building on the Grand Concourse, or three flights up in a Fordham walk-up. We move homes across all of it, houses and apartment buildings both, and the planning starts with which one is yours.

First, the move itself

Where you're leaving and where you're landing.

Where are you moving from?

Number and street is best. A neighborhood works if that's what you've got.

Where are you moving to?

Not settled yet? The neighborhood, or even just the borough, is enough for now.

Hills, the Deegan, and where the truck can stop

Most of this city is flat. The Bronx has real hills: steep driveways, retaining walls and switchback front paths in Riverdale, Kingsbridge Heights and University Heights. A few Bronx streets are literally staircases. None of that is a problem — it's part of the plan. We walk the route before anything heavy moves, and we pace the carry for the slope.

The truck gets the same planning. Where it can legally stop is half the logistics of any New York move, and in the Bronx the answer runs from your own driveway to a loading zone off Fordham Road. We sort that out before moving day, and we plan loading and travel times around the Deegan and the Cross Bronx, because neither of them plans around anyone.

Riverdale to Fordham to Pelham Bay

In the northwest, Riverdale and Spuyten Duyvil mix hillside houses with big co-op buildings along the Henry Hudson: two completely different moves that can happen on the same block. The houses need the slope planned; the co-ops need the elevator booked and the management company satisfied. We sort both before the truck is anywhere near the hill.

The middle of the borough runs on apartments. The Grand Concourse's prewar buildings come with proper lobbies, service entrances and freight elevators that need booking, while Fordham and Bedford Park lean to walk-ups, with plenty of moves timed to the start or end of a lease.

Out east, Pelham Bay, Throggs Neck, Morris Park and City Island are house country: driveways, garages, and the occasional block where the truck parks closer to your front door than it ever will in Manhattan. And plenty of Bronx moves don't stay in the borough. We take them into Manhattan, across to Queens, and anywhere else in the five boroughs.

Bronx movers for houses and apartment buildings alike

Houses

The east Bronx moves like a town. Throggs Neck, Morris Park, Pelham Bay and Country Club are full of houses with driveways, porches and basements. A house move is its own kind of day — more rooms, inside stairs, a garage as well as the bedrooms — so we plan it like one, down to whether the truck works from the driveway or the street.

Elevator buildings

In an elevator building the day is built around the elevator: the window you're given, the service entrance, and the COI if your management company wants one before anyone books the freight elevator. We deal with them directly on that paperwork, so you're not playing messenger all week.

Walk-ups

In a walk-up, the stairwell gets walked before the sofa does, and the carry is planned instead of improvised. Either way, furniture is wrapped and padded where it stands and every box is labelled for the room it's headed to: the same standard we bring as apartment movers in NYC anywhere in the city.

What shapes a Bronx quote

A Concourse one-bedroom and a Pelham Bay house are different days, so your quote is built from your actual move:

How much is coming with you
The stairs and slopes at both ends
Where the truck can stop
How far apart the two addresses are
Whether you'd like us to pack some or all of it
End-of-month and weekend dates are the busiest here, same as the rest of the city, so earlier is easier

Tell us those things and we'll come back with a clear quote for your move.

Bronx moving questions, answered

Do you move houses as well as apartments?

Yes. A lot of the Bronx is houses, and they're as much our work as the apartment buildings are. Tell us about the driveway, the basement and any inside stairs when you get your quote, and we'll plan the day around them the same way we'd plan an elevator window.

Can you move me from the Bronx to Westchester, or somewhere else outside the city?

We move across all five boroughs. If one end of your move is past the city line, put both addresses in your quote and we'll tell you whether we can take it.

My building wants a COI before it'll book the freight elevator. What do I need to do?

Mention it when you get your quote and we'll deal with your management company directly. Prewar buildings on the Concourse and newer ones in Mott Haven both tend to ask: it's routine paperwork, and it's ours to handle, not yours.

What about parking on my block?

Leave it with us. Part of planning your move is working out where the truck can stop: a driveway, a loading zone, or a block where alternate-side rules set the schedule, so it's settled before moving day rather than solved on it.
