Staten Island movers for houses and apartments

Most New York moves are measured in flights of stairs. A Staten Island move is measured differently: in basements and attics, in whether the truck can pull into the driveway, and in the one bridge between you and everywhere else. We move houses and apartments across the Island and between Staten Island and the rest of the city, and the planning happens before anyone lifts anything.

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.

A moving company in Staten Island plans for houses, not just boxes

Staten Island is the borough of actual houses: colonials in Great Kills, semi-attached rows in New Dorp, hillside places on Todt Hill where the stairs are all indoors. A house holds years of things, and most of them live in the basement, the attic and the garage. So we plan a house move from the whole house, not just the rooms you'd show a guest. Tell us about the storage spaces when you get your quote and the day gets sized to the real job.

The care doesn't change with the square footage. Furniture gets wrapped and padded where it stands, boxes get labelled for the rooms they're headed to, and anything that comes apart travels with its own hardware in a labelled bag, taped to the piece it came from, then goes back together at the other end.

Every move off the Island crosses the bridge. We plan around that.

A move from Staten Island to Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens or the Bronx has one fixed fact in it: the Verrazzano. So we build the day backwards from the crossing. We load at an hour that makes sense, cross around the Expressway's rush rather than into it, and arrive with the far end already sorted — the parking, the elevator window, the walk-up route. Moves run the other way too, out of a Brooklyn walk-up to somewhere with a yard, and the same homework just runs in reverse.

You can take the ferry. Your couch can't.

Staten Island runs on the ferry, and a lot of Island moves are commuter moves: trading a rental near the terminal for a house deeper into the Island, or leaving another borough for a driveway of your own. Your commute can stay a boat ride. Your furniture goes over the bridge, and that part is ours to sort, door to door.

What we move on Staten Island

Apartments around St. George

If your move touches one of the apartment buildings around St. George, it's an apartment move with apartment rules: elevator windows, COIs, freight-elevator bookings. That's the same building homework our apartment movers in NYC do across the other four boroughs.

Specialty moving in NYC

Pianos, art and anything with its own insurance policy get a different kind of planning.

What goes into your Staten Island quote

No two moves cost the same, so we build your quote from your actual move. What moves the number:

How much is moving: a one-bedroom near the ferry and a full house with a basement and garage are different days.
The buildings at both ends: a driveway is quicker than a walk-up, and an elevator window shapes the schedule.
Where you're headed: staying on the Island, or crossing to another borough.
Packing help: pack everything yourself, or have us pack some or all of it.
Timing: end-of-month and weekend dates are the busiest across the city.

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

Staten Island moving questions, answered

Do you move people from Staten Island to other boroughs?

Yes. Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx, in both directions. Tell us both addresses when you start your quote and we'll plan the crossing and the far building's rules (the COI, the elevator window, the loading dock) as one job.

Do you move whole houses?

Yes. When you get your quote, mention the basement, the attic and the garage: the parts of a house that don't show from the street are usually where most of the boxes come from, and counting them early keeps moving day on schedule.

Does the bridge change what my move costs?

A cross-borough day runs longer than one that stays on the Island, so the distance between your addresses is one of the things your quote is built from. Where we can, we plan the crossing around the Expressway's rush rather than into it. Tell us both addresses and we'll price the real route.

How far ahead should I book?

The earlier you tell us your date, the better the odds we can match it: end-of-month and weekend dates go first across the city. If your date's still loose, start your quote anyway with your best guess; nothing's locked in until we've talked it through.

Can you pack the house as well?

Yes. A few rooms or all of it. Kitchens and basements are the usual requests. See packing services in NYC for how it works, or add packing when you start your quote.
