Paterson pattern

Moving in Paterson, in practice.

Paterson runs the urban-rowhouse pattern through Eastside, Riverside, and the Old Great Falls neighborhood — small front lawns, narrow side yards, full basements that need cleanouts. Hillcrest and the Totowa Section flip to single-family with full driveways and bigger back yards that need real lawn cleanups every spring and fall.

Tight-packed two- and three-family wood-frames, brick rowhouses near the Falls, ranches and capes in Hillcrest and the Totowa Section.

Newark to Paterson runs 20 to 30 minutes via Route 21 or I-80 — about 13 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.
