Jersey City pattern
Moving in Jersey City, in practice.
Jersey City work splits between Downtown brownstone steps and roof-deck rinses, and Heights/Journal Square three-family cleanouts where the parlor floor sits 10 stairs above the sidewalk. Back gardens behind the brownstones are usually 25 feet deep with a brick patio that needs an annual deep clean.
Brownstones and limestones in Downtown and Hamilton Park, brick rowhouses through the Heights and Journal Square, plus three-family wood-frames in Greenville and Bergen-Lafayette.
Newark to Jersey City runs 10 to 20 minutes off-peak — about 7 miles.

Moving questions
Common moving questions.
Do you supply the truck?
No — you book the truck through U-Haul, Penske, Budget, or the POD provider, and we bring the crew. That way you only pay for the rental you actually need, and we never mark up the truck cost. We help you size it correctly before you book if you want a sanity check.
How many crew should I book?
Studio or 1-bedroom: 2 crew, 2 hours each end. Two-bedroom apartment with stairs: 3 crew, 3 hours each end. Three-bedroom house or multi-room office: 3-4 crew, 4-5 hours total. We can recommend a count when you describe the job at booking.
Do you drive the truck for us?
Generally no — most rental contracts only cover drivers on the contract, and adding a driver costs more than it saves. We load and unload at both ends and ride along in a separate vehicle when needed. Ask at booking if you specifically need a driver and we will tell you what fits the contract.
What about the heavy stuff — piano, safe, gun cabinet, hot tub?
Pianos under 350 lbs (uprights, spinets) — yes, with a piano dolly. Grand pianos and safes over 500 lbs — we coordinate a specialty mover for the lift and handle the rest of the move. Tell us at booking; we will not overpromise.
