Queens pattern

Moving in Queens, in practice.

Queens runs the full pattern — Forest Hills and Bayside have full driveways and big lawns; Jackson Heights and Sunnyside have garden-apartment courtyards and row brick; Astoria walk-ups need furniture hauls without elevator help. Long suburban driveways in Bayside and Jamaica Estates need real annual power-wash work.

Mix of single-family in Forest Hills, Bayside, and Jamaica Estates; row brick in Sunnyside and Ridgewood; walk-up apartments in Astoria and Jackson Heights.

Newark to Queens, 40 to 55 minutes off-peak — about 20 miles via the GW Bridge or I-278.

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.
