# Movers in Astoria Astoria is 25–40 minutes from our Brooklyn base up the BQE, and we move its two-family houses, six-story pre-war buildings and newer rentals most weeks. From Ditmars down to Broadway and over to Steinway Street, we know which blocks sit under the elevated train on 31st Street and where a truck can actually stop. A lot of Astoria apartments are one floor of a two- or three-family house, with one narrow staircase and a shared front door. We measure the big pieces, protect the hallway and keep the landlord downstairs happy. Text (212) 555-0142 or start a chat and we'll answer in under a minute. ## Do you cover Astoria? Yes. Astoria is 25–40 minutes from our Brooklyn base, and we move houses, walk-ups and elevator buildings here most weeks. We charge $165 an hour for two movers and a truck with a 3-hour minimum, or agree a fixed price before the day. Tell us the floor, whether there's an elevator and your cross streets so we can plan where the truck stops. - **Local base:** Brooklyn, 25–40 min away - **Best for:** Two-family houses and walk-ups - **Quote details:** Floor, stairs, cross streets ## What matters when moving in Astoria - **Loading under the elevated train** The N and W trains run above 31st Street, and the columns and traffic under the tracks make loading tricky. We stop on a side street when it's closer and safer. - **Two-family house stairs** Upstairs apartments in two- and three-family houses usually have one narrow staircase. We measure sofas and bed frames first and protect the shared hallway. - **Truck routes into Astoria** Box trucks can't use the Grand Central Parkway, so we come in on the BQE and local truck routes and plan around rush hour. ## Moving services in Astoria - [Apartment & Home Moves](https://leadkeet.com/website-templates/brightside/demo/apartment-moves/): Local apartment and home moves across the five boroughs, North Jersey and Westchester, from fifth-floor walk-ups to doorman buildings. - [Small Moves](https://leadkeet.com/website-templates/brightside/demo/small-moves/): Partial moves and small loads, from one room or a few pieces to a dozen boxes, done in a morning across New York. - [Packing Services](https://leadkeet.com/website-templates/brightside/demo/packing-services/): Full or partial packing by our own packers, with boxes, paper and wardrobe cartons priced on the quote. ## Nearby areas we also cover - [Manhattan](https://leadkeet.com/website-templates/brightside/demo/movers-manhattan/): 25–60 min from our base · Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Harlem - [Upper West Side](https://leadkeet.com/website-templates/brightside/demo/movers-upper-west-side/): 35–55 min from our base · Lincoln Square, Central Park West, West End Avenue ## Recent jobs near Astoria - [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. - [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.

We're 25–40 minutes away. ### How long does a typical Astoria move take? A 1-bedroom usually takes 4–5 hours including the drive. An upstairs floor of a two-family house with a tight staircase can take a little longer. ### Do you do small moves in Astoria? Yes. A few pieces of furniture or a room's worth of boxes is a small move for us, and we quote it with the 3-hour minimum in mind so there are no surprises. ### Do I need to tell my landlord before the move? It's a good idea, especially in a two-family house where you share a hallway. Larger elevator buildings may also ask for a certificate of insurance, which we send for you. ## Need a quote in Astoria?
