Step 1 of 4: Move

Step 1: Move

First, the move itself

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

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

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

If there's a gap between homes

The usual reason someone lands on this page: the lease ends Friday and the new place isn't ready until the first. If that's you, put it in your quote. We'll talk through what your things need in the meantime and plan the move around the gap, so the storage question gets settled before moving day instead of on it.

The rest of the move works the usual way

Storage or no storage, the move on either side of it is what we do all day: local moving across the five boroughs, and packing if you'd rather not spend a week wrapping plates. Everything else we offer lives on our services page: start there if your move has a few extra pieces to it.

Frequently asked questions

How does storage work with a move?

You point out what's staying behind, we wrap and inventory it, and it travels with the rest of the move. Your things wait in professional warehouse storage while you get the new place ready, and we deliver them back when you say the word.

How long can things stay in storage?

As long as the gap lasts. A weekend between leases, a month of renovations, or somewhere for the piano to wait until the new place is ready: give us the rough timeline in your quote and we'll plan the move around it.

Can you move my things into a storage unit I've rented?

Yes. A unit in New York City is a destination like any other: put the facility's address in your quote and we'll plan around its access hours the way we'd plan around any building's rules. Same again when you're ready to move back out.

Moving week is stressful enough. The quote is the easy part.
