One written number, no walkthrough required.
Doorman buildings and 4th-floor walk-ups each gate you behind their own rules — reserved elevators, certificate-of-insurance requirements, or just three flights of narrow stairs. We work both without slowing down.
Paperwork cleared first
Denise Falco pulls the co-op or condo board’s COI template ahead of your date and gets it filed before the crew shows up, so nobody’s stuck at the front desk on move day. Freight-elevator windows get reserved the same way.
Walk-ups get their own crew
Anthony Russo leads our walk-up and high-rise turnover team — the guys who know a 4th-floor carry needs a different pace than a ground-floor loadout, and who can still hit the promised window.
Scheduling to the exact slot
- COI filed with the co-op or condo board in advance
- Freight-elevator reservation confirmed the week of
- Sal dispatches the crew straight to the building’s window
- No idling in the lobby waiting on paperwork

Studio $399, 1BR $699, 2BR $1,295 — all flat rates confirmed before moving day. Larger units or full-pack add-ons are priced from the same written quote; see full packing services if you want the closets handled too.

One honest New York crew for every kind of move across the New York City metro.
Local Moves in New York City
Most days our trucks never leave the five boroughs, running between Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan on one flat number you approve before a single box gets taped.
Long-Distance Moving from New York
Cross a state line and the same New York crew that loaded your apartment drives it through, since we run the Boston, Philadelphia, and DC corridors ourselves on our own federal authority instead of handing the load to a stranger.
Full-Service Home Moves
Brownstone in Park Slope or a split-level out on Staten Island, the routine holds: blankets on the corners, a spotter at every doorway, and furniture reset room by room before we roll out.
Full-Home Packing
Leave the cabinets and closets full and our packers handle it, sleeving dishes and electronics in rigid boxes, then taping each shut so nothing shifts on a run across the Verrazzano.
Interim Storage
Closing dates rarely sync in this market, so we hold the load in climate-controlled storage charged month to month, nothing locked in and no floor on how little you keep.
Piano & Specialty Moving
Keyboard instruments get their own playbook: Curtis’s team blankets the body, straps it to a skid board, and walks it through tight prewar hallways and stair turns without leaving a mark.
Common questions
Questions about this service
Do you handle co-op and condo board paperwork?
Yes, Denise Falco fills out and submits the certificate of insurance most co-op and condo boards require, timed to your move date so nothing holds up the elevator.
Can you book the freight elevator for me?
We coordinate directly with building management to reserve the freight-elevator window and confirm it before your crew is dispatched.
What if my building only has a walk-up staircase?
Anthony Russo’s crew specializes in walk-up turnover, including 4th and 5th floor carries, without adding a surprise stair charge.
How much notice do buildings usually need for a COI?
Most co-op and condo boards want the certificate a few business days ahead, so we recommend booking your quote at least two weeks before your date.
Is the doorman building rate different from a walk-up?
The flat rate is based on unit size and inventory, not building type, though we do plan crew timing differently around doorman check-in versus stair carries.
