Staten Island movers

How a truck gets to Staten Island

Staten Island connects to Brooklyn by the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and to New Jersey by bridges. The Staten Island Ferry carries people, not trucks, so a move to or from the island goes by road. We start from our Brooklyn office on Greene Avenue.

Local moves are charged at hourly rates, with all transportation, gas and tolls included, so a bridge crossing is not a separate line on your estimate. Tell us both addresses when you ask for a quote, because the route is part of the plan.

What our service list says

Staten Island is named on our New York service list, next to Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Westchester, the Bronx and New Jersey. The list names the island as a whole and does not break it into neighborhoods, so the quickest way to confirm your address is to call with both addresses.

Houses, apartments and condos

A move to or from Staten Island can be a house, an apartment or a condo, and each one is quoted on what is moving. If you are moving a house, describe the attic, the basement and the garage as well as the rooms, because that is where the volume hides.

A house usually has far more to box than an apartment, so packing help is worth pricing. We can take the whole job, or just the kitchen and the fragile pieces, and we unpack at the new place if you want.

Building paperwork and parking

Some buildings require a certificate of insurance from the mover and want the elevator booked ahead. Check with the building management at both your current and your new address, then tell us what it needs, and we send it. A fee may apply depending on the building’s requirements.

Please confirm the parking restrictions at both addresses with the building management or the local police department. If the truck cannot park close enough, long carry or shuttle truck charges apply and are added to the order.

Between Staten Island and the rest of the area

A move between Staten Island and Brooklyn, Manhattan or Queens is a local move from our Brooklyn base. New Jersey is part of our New York moving service, but a move across the state line is an interstate move under federal rules, so tell us both addresses and your dates and we explain how the estimate works.

Moving farther out of state is a long distance move, and our long distance service covers nationwide moves.

Quotes, packing, storage and short notice

Call us and we can send one of our moving consultants to your home to see what is moving and give you a free, no-obligation quote. If a visit is hard to arrange, schedule a video tour, or upload photos or a video of your inventory.

Packing supplies are charged if required, and they are part of your estimate only if they are listed on it. If your dates do not line up, we keep your things in our climate-controlled, secure storage, and our last-minute moving service can help when the date is close.
