# Studio Moves in New York, Walk-Ups Included

A New York studio holds more than it looks: a bed, a sofa, a desk, a closet packed to the ceiling and boxes under everything. We move studios every week, from fifth-floor walk-ups in the East Village to doorman buildings in Long Island City, and most are done in a morning.

Two movers and a truck are $165 an hour with a 3-hour minimum, and most studio walk-ups come in at $495–$750. Text or chat for a reply in under a minute, or call (212) 555-0142.

## Do you offer studio moves in NYC?

Yes. Studio moves are some of our most common jobs, in walk-ups, doorman buildings and new towers across the five boroughs, North Jersey and Westchester. Most studio walk-ups cost $495 to $750 fully done, with two movers and a truck. We can work hourly at $165 an hour or agree one price from a short video. That includes wrapping, taking the bed apart and rebuilding it, and sending your building a COI if it asks for one.

**Typical job (example prices):** Most studio walk-up moves within New York City run $495–$750 fully done. Elevator buildings close together sit at the low end; long walk-ups or a move to Westchester at the high end.

- **Best for:** Studios and alcove studios
- **Quote details:** Short video + both addresses
- **Base:** Brooklyn, NY

## When a studio move is the right choice

If you’re moving a full studio, with a bed, a sofa, a table and everything in the closet, this is the service for you. It’s quoted from one short video, uses a full truck so everything goes in one trip, and comes with the building paperwork many New York buildings expect.

Typical studio jobs for us are a fourth-floor walk-up in Bushwick going to an elevator building in Long Island City, an Upper West Side studio moving to a 1-bedroom in Jersey City, or a Midtown doorman building on the last day of the month. Most are done in a morning, with the truck parked as close to the door as the block allows.

### What to send for a quote
- A short video walking through the studio and the closet
- Both addresses, the floors and whether there’s an elevator
- Your move date and any building move hours
- Your building’s COI requirements, if they’ve sent them

## Who this service is for

- **You live in a studio or alcove studio and are moving all of it**
- **Your building is a walk-up and the stairs are the hard part**
- **Your new building wants a COI and a booked elevator**
- **You want the bed taken apart and rebuilt on the same day**
- **You’re moving on the 1st or the 31st and need a crew that turns up on time**
- **You’d like it done in a morning so you can unpack by evening**

## When another service is a better fit

We would rather point you to the right service than squeeze every job into the same box.

- [Man With a Van](https://leadkeet.com/website-templates/brightside/demo/man-with-a-van/): If the studio is furnished and you only have boxes and a few pieces, a van is enough.
- [Packing Services](https://leadkeet.com/website-templates/brightside/demo/packing-services/): Add packing if you’d rather hand over the closet and the kitchen.
- [Apartment & Home Moves](https://leadkeet.com/website-templates/brightside/demo/apartment-moves/): If you’re combining two places into one, or it’s a large alcove studio, a full apartment move quote fits better.

## How we quote this kind of job

1. **Send a short video:** Walk your phone around the studio and the closet, and send it with both addresses and floors.
2. **Get your price:** We reply with an hourly estimate or one agreed price, and handle the COI and the elevator booking.
3. **Moved by lunch:** Two movers wrap, carry and rebuild everything, and most studios are finished in a morning.

## Studio Moves questions answered

### How much does a studio move cost?
Most studio walk-ups within the city run $495–$750 fully done. Elevator buildings close together usually come in at the low end.

### How long does a studio move take?
Usually three to four hours from the first box to the rebuilt bed, longer with long walk-ups at both ends or a longer drive.

### Is it cheaper to move midweek?
Often, yes. The 1st and the 31st of the month and summer weekends are the busiest days, so a Tuesday or Wednesday is easier to book and can lower an agreed price.

### Do you take apart the bed?
Yes. Bed frames, tables and desks are taken apart and rebuilt as part of the move, at no extra charge.

### Can you pack for me too?
Yes. Two packers usually pack a studio in two to three hours, and we can do it the same morning before the move.
