Quick answer
Brick Labor is a Newark, New Jersey-based property crew serving Manhattan, NY (11 miles away) at a flat $50 per hour, per person. Services include power washing, lawn care, hauling, junk removal, and light repairs — same rate citywide, no zone surcharge or travel fee. Book online or call (855) 82LABOR.
Local context
Brick Labor handles Manhattan jobs the way the buildings demand: freight-elevator windows for cleanouts, ground-floor staging when the rig will not fit upstairs, and terrace power-washing on the schedule a co-op board will actually approve. Same flat $50/hr per person — no five-borough surcharge.
Newark to Midtown is roughly 15 to 25 minutes via the Lincoln Tunnel.
About Manhattan
Manhattan is New York County—1.7 million people packed into 23 square miles. It's the financial, cultural, and media capital of the US. Hedge fund managers, artists, families, and tourists all share the same fire escapes and sidewalks.
Brick Labor handles power-washing pre-sale brownstones in the West Village, hauling junk from cramped walk-ups across Midtown, post-renovation cleanouts in Tribeca lofts, and light repairs on pre-war building exteriors. We move fast on tight schedules and navigate narrow streets and building supers without drama.

Parking + access in Manhattan
Street parking in Manhattan is permit-only and rotates by zone—check your neighborhood's alternate-side rules (typically 2x weekly). Many jobs require parking permits; confirm with your building super ahead of time. High-rise jobs may need pre-arranged loading-dock access or service-entrance approval. Garages exist but run $40–$60+ daily.
Job pattern
Manhattan jobs match the building — UES and UWS co-ops need freight-elevator booking and terrace rinses on the schedule the board approves; Harlem and Village brownstones get stoop and basement work; Tribeca and Chelsea high-rises run terrace and apartment cleanouts. Walk-ups in Inwood and Washington Heights add cleanout work without elevator help.
Pre-war elevator buildings, walk-ups, brownstones in Harlem and the Village; high-rise condos in Tribeca and Chelsea; co-op towers on the UES and UWS.
Seasonal & access notes
Spring is heavy terrace and rooftop rinse season — winter salt and grit settle everywhere. Fall is moderate; building HVAC drives most ductwork. Co-op boards typically restrict heavy work May through October — book early.
Permit-only parking everywhere. Doorman buildings need freight-elevator slots booked in advance — give us 48 hours notice and we coordinate with your building manager. Walk-ups: we carry up.
The full picture
Brick Labor runs property work across Manhattan, New York every week. We are the Manhattan terrace pressure washing that home owners, landlords, building supers, and property managers in Upper East Side, Upper West Side, and Harlem call when a job needs a calm, multi-cultural crew that shows up on time, communicates in plain language, and treats the work like it matters. Same flat $50 per hour per person — no zone surcharges, no minimum-truckload tricks, no quote runaround.
Most calls we get in Manhattan are terrace and roof-deck rinse, walk-up cleanouts, and apartment furniture hauls, mixed with the seasonal pressure-wash, hauling, and light-repair work every New York home stack needs. Pre-war elevator buildings, walk-ups, brownstones in Harlem and the Village; high-rise condos in Tribeca and Chelsea; co-op towers on the UES and UWS. That mix sets the rhythm of a typical Manhattan day for our crew — one stop for a curb-side haul, one for a back-yard cleanup, one for a stoop and side-wall power-wash. Because the work is hourly and we bill in 15-minute increments, you only pay for the time we are actually on your property — not a flat-rate-per-job estimate built on the assumption everything takes longer than it does.
Spring is heavy terrace and rooftop rinse season — winter salt and grit settle everywhere. Fall is moderate; building HVAC drives most ductwork. Co-op boards typically restrict heavy work May through October — book early. Beyond weather, parking and access shape every Manhattan job: Permit-only parking everywhere. Doorman buildings need freight-elevator slots booked in advance — give us 48 hours notice and we coordinate with your building manager. Walk-ups: we carry up. Newark to Midtown: 15–25 minutes via the Lincoln Tunnel. We have run jobs on every block within sight of Central Park, Riverside Park, and High Line — and we know which streets to avoid mid-rush-hour, which alleys are wide enough for the truck, and which buildings require freight-elevator booking ahead of time.
The flat $50-per-hour-per-person rate is the part most Manhattan customers say they remember. Quote-based contractors in New York routinely pad a one-hour job to four hours of "estimated effort" because they have to. We do not. You watch the clock with us — start time logged, stop time logged, total billed by the 15-minute slice. When a job in Manhattan turns out to be smaller than you expected, you pay less. When it turns out to be bigger because of a hidden basement wall or a second yard, we explain that on-site before the meter keeps running, and you decide.
If you are looking for a NYC walk-up cleanout crew that brings the gear, the truck, the dollies, the mildewcide, and the patience to walk every job through with you at the end — that is us. Book a Manhattan crew online for any day this week, or text the owner directly. For deeper-dive guides specific to your block — Upper East Side terrace rinse, driveway brightening, fall leaf hauls, post-move-out clearouts — every Manhattan service page is hand-tuned for the homes and rhythms here, not a generic state-wide template.
Why us in Manhattan
We chose to run Brick Labor as a flat-hourly, multi-cultural, multi-functional team because the property work people actually need is rarely one thing. A driveway wash turns into a fence-board reset. A basement cleanout turns into a piano-haul. A lawn cut turns into a gutter clear. We staff for that variety — bilingual capability, calm under surprise, no panicked re-quoting when the job changes shape on us.
