Queens to Palisades Park Movers

House to house, across two rivers

A move from Queens to Palisades Park is often a house move at both ends. A detached house or a two-family in Flushing, Bayside, Whitestone or Little Neck becomes a unit in a Palisades Park two-family or duplex. Usually there is no tower and no freight elevator, and less building paperwork. The work is stairs, parking and a house full of things.

The route

The truck usually crosses into the Bronx by the Whitestone or Throgs Neck Bridge, runs west to the George Washington Bridge and comes off in Fort Lee. Palisades Park is a short drive west from there. The Queens parkways are closed to trucks, so the drive stays on the expressways. We set the start time to avoid the heaviest bridge traffic. The NYC to New Jersey page shows the crossings from other boroughs.

Emptying a Queens house

A Queens house usually holds more than the unit you are moving into. Start early on the places people leave for last:

• The basement: tools, holiday decorations, old furniture.
• The garage and the shed: bikes, grills, patio furniture.
• The attic, if you have one.
• The kitchen and pantry, which fill more boxes than people expect.

Decide what goes, what you sell or give away and what goes to storage. We offer short- and long-term storage through affiliated, clean, secure self-storage facilities. Walk us through every room, the basement included, on the free estimate, in person or by video. Then the written price matches the real job.

At the Palisades Park end

Streets here are tight, cars line both curbs and driveways tend to be short. Expect the truck to stop in the roadway beside the house, so let the people next door know the date and move your own cars off the block that morning. If you share an entrance with another family, agree on a time to clear it. An upper unit usually means one long flight of stairs inside, sometimes two, and we take beds and wardrobes apart to get them up. Broad Avenue stays busy for much of the day, and we plan the drive around it. Our Palisades Park movers page has more on the town.

Who makes this move

Families from northeast Queens who want to live near Broad Avenue and its Korean shops and restaurants. Parents moving closer to children who already live in Bergen County.

Moving-week checklist

• Moving upstairs? Measure the stairwell width and the ceiling height at the top step.
• Put a colored label on your things in a shared basement or garage.
• Check with the borough whether a moving truck needs anything on your date.
• Empty the fridge and freezer the day before.
• Ride with passports, deeds and prescriptions; do not pack them on the truck.

Hourly moves keep the same written rate and terms all day; the total follows the hours. See moving prices for how we count them.
