Small Moves in NYC, Done in a Morning
Moving in with a partner, sending a room to storage or taking half the furniture to a new place? We handle small moves across the five boroughs, North Jersey and Westchester with the same crews and the same care as a full apartment.
It’s $165 an hour for two movers and a truck with a 3-hour minimum, and most small moves finish inside it. Text or chat for a reply in under a minute, or call (212) 555-0142.
Quick answer
Do you offer small moves in NYC?
Yes. We take on small moves of every kind, from a single room or a few pieces of furniture to a dozen boxes going across town. Small moves use our normal rate of $165 an hour for two movers and a truck with a 3-hour minimum, and most finish within that time. Everything is wrapped, carried and placed, and we send a COI to your building if it asks for one. Send a photo of the load and both addresses for a price.
Typical job · Example pricesMost small moves within the city, a few pieces of furniture and up to 20 boxes, finish within the 3-hour minimum: $495. Longer drives or long walk-ups at both ends can take 3–4 hours.

Is this right for you?
When a small move is the right choice
A small move is anything less than a full home: a room, a few big pieces, or the boxes and furniture you’re taking when you move in with someone. It suits people who don’t want to rent a truck, find two friends and carry a dresser down four flights themselves, but who don’t need a full moving day either.
Typical small moves for us are a bedroom set going from Crown Heights to a partner’s place in Astoria, half a shared apartment in Harlem going to a new share, or a few pieces from a Hoboken apartment heading to storage before a renovation. If the list grows past one room, an apartment move quote usually works out better, and we’ll tell you so from the photos.
Best fit
Who this service is for
- You’re moving in with someone and only bringing part of your place
- You’re moving a room’s worth of things, not a full apartment
- You’re leaving a shared apartment and taking your share of the furniture
- You’re sending some furniture to storage while you stage or renovate
- You’re moving within the same building, from one floor to another
- You’d rather pay two careful movers than spend a weekend borrowing a van

Small Moves questions answered
Still not sure? Ask us. We reply in under a minute.
Chat nowIs there a minimum charge?
Yes, 3 hours at $165 an hour, so $495 for two movers and a truck. Most small moves inside the city finish within it.
Can you move things within the same building?
Yes. Moves between floors or apartments in the same building are quick, and we still protect the elevator and the hallways.
Can some things go to storage and the rest to my new place?
Yes. We can make two drop-offs in one booking, one at your new place and one at our Brooklyn warehouse or your own storage unit.
Do you take apart and rebuild furniture?
Yes. Beds, tables and desks are taken apart and rebuilt as part of the job, with the hardware bagged and labeled.
How quickly can you come?
Small moves are often booked within a few days, and sometimes the next day. Text us and we’ll offer the first open slot.
