## Recent jobs

- [Upright Piano Move: Harlem → Williamsburg](https://leadkeet.com/website-templates/brightside/demo/jobs/upright-piano-harlem-to-williamsburg/): Ruth was moving her family’s upright piano, about 500 pounds and older than she is, from her mother’s Harlem brownstone to her own apartment on the 3rd floor of a Williamsburg walk-up. The pickup meant carrying it down a brownstone stoop; the drop-off was three flights up a narrow stair with one tight turn. Marcus, our crew lead for piano jobs, looked over a video of the Williamsburg stairwell before we quoted, and we agreed a fixed price for the job.
- [2-Bedroom Walk-Up Move: Park Slope → Hoboken](https://leadkeet.com/website-templates/brightside/demo/jobs/2-bed-walk-up-park-slope-to-hoboken/): Mia and her partner were leaving a 4th-floor walk-up in a Park Slope brownstone for a 2-bedroom on the 3rd floor of a Hoboken row house, a few blocks from the PATH. They booked three weeks ahead for the last Saturday in August, one of the busiest moving days of the year, and packed nearly everything themselves. We quoted 7 to 8 hours with 3 movers, plus the tolls, and planned the parking at the Hoboken end before the day.
- [Studio Move: Upper West Side → Astoria](https://leadkeet.com/website-templates/brightside/demo/jobs/studio-upper-west-side-to-astoria/): Noah messaged us late on a Monday night: his new Astoria lease had started and he needed to be out of his Upper West Side studio by the end of the week. We had a Thursday morning opening. The pickup was a 9th-floor studio in a doorman building with a service elevator; the drop-off was the 2nd floor of a two-family house in Astoria. We quoted 3 to 4 hours at $165 an hour, and it came in at 3½.
