Toward our home borough
This move ends in Brooklyn, where our trucks start. We plan the whole trip, from your Jersey City door to your Brooklyn one.
Two ways into Brooklyn
From downtown or the Heights, the truck usually takes the Holland Tunnel, crosses lower Manhattan, then a tunnel or East River bridge. From the west side, the Bayonne and Verrazzano-Narrows bridges can be quicker. See New Jersey to NYC movers.
What you leave in Jersey City
Downtown towers have move-out rules: a freight elevator, a dock slot and often a COI. We issue the COI and send it with your contract. Harsimus Cove and the Heights are rowhouse blocks with stoops and stairs. Two-family homes further west add inside stairs, a basement, and street parking. We size the crew for yours. Our Jersey City movers page covers each area.
What you move into in Brooklyn
Brownstone or rowhouse. Parlor level and slim stairs. We measure the big pieces first.
Walk-up apartment. Several flights, tight turns, a truck on a busy street.
New elevator building. Downtown, Williamsburg, the waterfront: management wants a COI and a fixed slot.
Family house. Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Midwood: maybe a driveway, often a basement.
Many languages welcome
Call 1-800-598-4356. We work with customers in many languages.

Jersey City to Brooklyn questions
Is Jersey City to Brooklyn a federal interstate move?
It crosses a state line, but federal rules treat New York City and nearby New Jersey cities like Jersey City as one commercial zone.
Can you move a piano into a Brooklyn brownstone?
We move uprights and grands. On the estimate, let us see the front steps and every turn inside, and we tell you before moving day how it goes in.
What if my Brooklyn lease starts later than my Jersey City lease ends?
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.
Can I get boxes from you before the move?
Yes. We bring packing materials to your door, and we can also pack all or part of the home.
