The short answer
Our move prices depend on what you own and how it leaves the building. One one-bedroom holds a bed and twenty boxes; the next holds a piano, a wall of books and a storage cage. Our local rate is simple: a $385 minimum flat rate. Your final cost depends on how much you move. Below is what drives it, so you can read any estimate with a clear eye. See our prices.
Five things that set the price
- How much you move. Furniture, boxes and big pieces set the crew size.
- Access at both ends. Stairs, walk-ups, long carries and elevator waits add time.
- Distance and route. Across town, the Hudson or the country.
- Services. Packing, crating, piano handling, storage and furniture disassembly.
- Timing. Your date, your building’s move window, and whether you need a crew at short notice.
Local moves inside New Jersey
On a move from Hoboken to Jersey City, or from Fort Lee to Englewood, how much you move and how easy each home is to work in drive the cost. A fourth-floor walk-up takes longer than a house with a driveway. A building with one elevator slot sets the pace for the whole day.
You get a free written estimate for every local move, with the rate and terms in writing up front. We move on weekends and holidays, so pick the day that suits your work.
Moves between New Jersey and New York City
Getting across the river adds time at the George Washington Bridge, Lincoln Tunnel and Holland Tunnel. A good estimate builds the crossing into the plan. New York buildings add their own rules: many ask for a COI and reserved elevator, some allow moves only in set hours. Those rules shape the schedule, and the schedule shapes the price.
Our trucks start in Brooklyn and work both sides of the river. See NYC to New Jersey moves.
Long-distance moves
For a move from New Jersey to another state, the price rests on shipment size, distance and added services. Interstate moves follow federal rules, so your mover must give you the booklet “Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move.” Read it before you sign. It explains estimates, valuation and filing a claim. More on long-distance moves from New Jersey.
What extra services add
Tell us at the estimate which services you want, so the written estimate includes them from the start:
- Full or partial packing, materials delivered ahead
- Crating for glass, marble, art and antiques
- Piano moving, uprights and grands
- Short- or long-term storage through affiliated facilities
- Furniture disassembly and reassembly
How to get a price you can plan around
Book a free estimate seven days a week, in person or by video. Show every room, closet, balcony and storage unit. Point out what stays behind, plus stairs, elevators, parking and building rules at both addresses. The more we see, the more exact the number.
How pricing works: local moves start at a $385 minimum flat rate, and your rate and terms are in writing before moving day. Your final cost depends on how much you move. If you add items or services, we confirm the change in writing first.
Be careful with any price given without a look at your home. A guessed number tends to grow when the truck arrives.
How to keep the cost down
- Sell, donate or toss what you won’t use. Less volume means a lower cost.
- Pack easy rooms yourself; book packing for the kitchen or fragile items.
- Reserve your building’s elevator early, so the crew does not wait.
- If your date is flexible, ask for a price on two dates.

Why can’t I get a price over the phone?
Without a look at your things and your building, a phone price is a guess. After a short estimate, you get a free written estimate with the rate and terms.
Do you move on weekends?
Yes, on weekends and holidays. Check your building’s rules, because some buildings do not allow weekend moves.
Is valuation coverage included?
Basic valuation coverage is included at no charge. It pays by weight, not by what an item is worth.
How do I pay?
Cash or Zelle.
