A stoop at each end
Brooklyn and Hoboken share the brownstone: a stoop and no elevator. This move carries everything down one staircase and up another.
Measure both houses
Measure both addresses before moving day, so no piece gets stuck at a landing.
| Measure | What it tells us |
|---|---|
| Street door and vestibule door | Old doorways are often narrower than new ones. |
| The tightest spot on the staircase | Whether a sofa travels whole or in parts. |
| Clearance overhead where the stairs turn | Tall wardrobes, headboards and box springs catch here. |
| The unit’s own entry and first hallway | The last turn is often the tightest one. |
Send numbers and photos with your request. We take apart beds, tables and desks and rebuild them at the new place.
The drive
From most of Brooklyn, the truck crosses lower Manhattan and takes the Holland Tunnel into Hoboken. See our NYC to New Jersey movers.
Curb space in two cities
Both blocks are parked tight, and driveways are rare. In Hoboken, the city has its own process to hold curb space for a truck. Ask early. In Brooklyn, ask neighbors to clear space by your door. The closer the truck stands, the shorter the carry. Our Hoboken movers page has more.
Who makes this move
Brooklyn renters who want a PATH ride to Manhattan, young families, and people with new jobs in New Jersey. We work with customers in many languages.
Before the crew arrives
- Measure both staircases and all four doors.
- Move bikes, strollers and plants out of both hallways.
- Ask Hoboken about curb space for the truck, well ahead.
- Tell the neighbors on both blocks your date.
- Label boxes by floor if the Hoboken place has two levels.
- Pack papers, medicine and chargers in a bag that travels with you.
How pricing works: your rate and terms are in writing before moving day, and your final cost depends on how much you move. If you add items or services, we confirm the change in writing first.

Brooklyn to Hoboken questions
Do stairs at both ends make the move longer?
Usually, yes. We ask about every flight at both ends and build them into the written estimate.
Can you bring a piano down a Brooklyn stoop?
We move uprights and grands. Show us the stoop, the stairs and the piano on the estimate, and we tell you what it takes.
My Hoboken lease starts a week after my Brooklyn lease ends. What then?
We can keep your things in short- or long-term storage through affiliated, clean, secure self-storage facilities and deliver them on a scheduled date.
Where does your crew start the day?
In Brooklyn, NY, where our trucks start.
