What sets us apart

How we handle senior moving

Downsizing

When it is time to move to a smaller, more manageable home, the number of possessions can be overwhelming. Our staff help you decide what matters most to bring.

A lifetime of belongings

Old photos, collections, antiques and keepsakes all carry sentimental value. Our experienced staff oversee the whole move from beginning to end with that in mind.

Parking and senior living communities

We handle senior moves of any size, including ones with parking issues at apartment complexes and senior living communities.

Help when family is not nearby

Even if you do not have friends or family who can help, you still get all the assistance you need from us. Our relocation consultants get you started with one phone call.

In more detail

How we plan a senior move

It starts at home

We begin with an in-home estimate, so there are no surprises on the final bill. After that we assign an expert move consultant to you. The consultant answers your questions and points you to the right services, which can include loading and unloading, packing and unpacking, furniture protection and all-round support.

Our relocation consultants make getting started simple: it takes one phone call to 212-732-1234.

Downsizing, one room at a time

When it is time for a smaller, more manageable home, the number of possessions can feel overwhelming. Years of memories, treasures and traditions have built up. Our staff help you decide what matters most, and downsizing can be a real relief when it is done well.

Old photos, collections, antiques and keepsakes all carry sentimental value, and we keep that in mind through the whole move.

The details beyond the boxes

From sorting your prized items to changing your address and turning on the utilities in your new home, we have you covered. Even if you do not have friends or family who can help, you still get all the assistance you need. We take care of the transport and hand the rest to the loading and unloading teams.

Parking, access and community rules

We handle senior moves of any size, including ones with parking issues at apartment complexes and senior living communities. Ask the community what it requires, tell us, and we plan around it. Our relocation advisors can help with anything from choosing the right moving equipment to picking the best moving date.

Respect for the person moving

A move away from a home you love can be bittersweet. Every client’s values, emotions and wishes are respected, and we stay thoughtful and compassionate while arranging the move. We can help people manage their vital belongings, work with those who are nervous about the move, and communicate politely at every step.

Packing and unpacking

You should not have to pack up a lifetime of belongings, or carry boxes at the other end. We pack, load and unload, and we can unpack at the new place so the rooms feel like home sooner. Furniture is protected throughout the move.

Helpful things to do ahead

  • Walk through the new space with a family member and decide where the main furniture will go
  • Pack a small bag for the first night, with medications, glasses, chargers and a change of clothes, and keep it with you
  • Keep important documents and valuables with you rather than on the truck
  • Let us know about anything fragile, sentimental or hard to replace

Whether you are retiring, downsizing or simply moving to a new place, call us and we will do the rest.
