Brooklyn movers
Reliable movers in Brooklyn
Brooklyn is home for us. Our trucks start the day in the borough, so Park Slope, Crown Heights and Bed-Stuy are 10–20 minutes away, and Greenpoint, Bay Ridge and the waterfront towers are rarely more than 35.
We know brownstone stoops, parlor-floor turns and fourth-floor walk-ups over storefronts, and we know which new buildings want a certificate of insurance before you can book the elevator. Text (212) 555-0142 or start a chat for a price in under a minute.
Quick answer
How much does a Brooklyn move cost?
A move within Brooklyn usually costs $495–$750 for a studio walk-up, $650–$1,100 for a 1-bedroom and $1,100–$1,900 for a 2-bedroom. We charge $165 an hour for two movers and a truck with a 3-hour minimum, or we agree a fixed price before the day. Short drives keep Brooklyn moves at the lower end; high stoops, top-floor walk-ups and heavy furniture push them up. Send photos or book a video walkthrough and we'll put the price in writing.

Why choose us
Why Brooklyn picks Example crews
-
Short drives, lower bills
Because we're based here, you aren't paying for an hour of travel across a bridge. Most Brooklyn moves start within 20 minutes of the crew leaving our base.
-
Brownstone know-how
High stoops, narrow parlor stairs and floor-through apartments are most of what we move. We pad the railings, take doors off when needed and measure big pieces before the day.
-
Parking planned, not hoped for
We check street-cleaning days, hydrants and bike lanes on both blocks and pick an arrival time that gives the truck the best chance of a spot close to your door.
Real reviews
Trusted across Brooklyn
We got a text at 7:40 saying the crew was ten minutes out, and they rang the bell at 7:52. Our 2-bedroom on the 4th floor was empty by noon, and they still rebuilt the bed frame at the new place before leaving.
Our upright went up three flights with a turn I was sure it wouldn’t make. Marcus measured the landing first, took our door off its hinges for the extra inch, and there isn’t a scratch on the piano or the walls.
I needed a dresser, a bookshelf and a dozen boxes moved from Bed-Stuy to Crown Heights. Two guys, one van, really friendly, and they wrapped my flea-market dresser like it was an antique.

Job storyUpright Piano Move: Harlem → 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.
Job story2-Bedroom Walk-Up Move: Park Slope → 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.
Job storyStudio Move: Upper West Side → 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.

Brooklyn moving questions

Chat nowDo you cover all of Brooklyn?
Yes, every neighbourhood from Greenpoint down to Coney Island and from Brooklyn Heights out to Canarsie. We're based in the borough, so most jobs start within 10–35 minutes.
How long does a typical Brooklyn move take?
A 1-bedroom within Brooklyn usually takes 3–5 hours door to door. Add an hour or two for a top-floor walk-up or a large brownstone duplex.
Can you get a sofa up a brownstone staircase?
Usually, yes. Send us the sofa's measurements and a photo of the stairs; if it won't make the turn, we'll tell you before the day rather than on the landing.
Do I need to tell my building in advance?
For a walk-up, telling your landlord or super is usually enough. Doorman and new-development buildings often want a certificate of insurance and a booked elevator slot, which we arrange with your management office.
Can you do a same-day move in Brooklyn?
Sometimes. If a crew is free we can often fit a small Brooklyn move in the same day or the next; text us and we'll tell you in under a minute.
