  1. Moves inside the Lower East Side or to any other borough, usually finished in a single day. Local moving starts from $99 an hour, and the final price is confirmed in a free written quote. We plan the load around your stairs, your elevator booking and the curb on your block.

  2. Full home moves out of tenement walk-ups, Grand Street co-ops and the new towers at Essex Crossing. We protect stairwells and elevators, wrap every piece of furniture and set up the new place room by room.

  3. Shops, galleries, restaurants and small offices fill the Lower East Side. We pack stock, equipment and files, label every box and move you on a schedule that keeps your doors open.

  4. Prefer one price up front? Ask for a flat fee quote based on your inventory, the floors at both ends and the distance, so the number stays the same on move day.

  5. The neighborhood is full of galleries and collectors. Art, antiques and framed pieces get custom crating and careful handling down narrow tenement stairs.

  6. Between leases or downsizing? We pick up from your Lower East Side apartment, store your things at our Red Hook facility in Brooklyn and deliver them when you are ready.

  7. Leaving the Lower East Side for another state? Our long-distance movers pack, load and drive your shipment to your new home, with storage in between if your dates do not line up.

  8. Studios, one-bedrooms and family apartments, from fifth-floor walk-ups to doorman buildings. We carry everything up and down the stairs, book the service elevator where there is one and send the COI.

What Lower East Side Movers Run Into

Lower East Side moves are decided by stairs, tight streets and traffic more than by distance. Here is what our movers plan for before move day.

Tenement Walk-Ups

Much of the housing here is in five and six-story walk-ups with narrow, turning stairwells. Tell us your floor and measure big pieces like sofas and box springs, so we know before move day if anything needs to come apart.

Co-ops and New Towers

The Grand Street co-ops and the newer towers around Essex Crossing usually ask for a certificate of insurance and a booked service elevator. Ask your management office for its rules early, and we will send the COI and confirm the time.

Delancey Street and the Bridge

Traffic heading to the Williamsburg Bridge backs up along Delancey Street at rush hour. We schedule loading and departures around it, especially on moves to Brooklyn and Queens. Moving south instead? Our movers in the Financial District handle the converted office towers there.

Inside the Congestion Relief Zone

The whole Lower East Side sits inside the zone that starts at 60th Street, so a moving truck pays a toll to enter it. Ask about it when you get your quote, so the total you see covers the whole day.

Lower East Side Areas We Move

The Lower East Side mixes old and new housing, and each part changes how the move runs.

Orchard, Ludlow and Rivington

Classic tenement blocks full of walk-ups above shops and bars. Stairs and busy sidewalks set the pace, so early starts work best. West of the Bowery the walk-ups continue, and our Nolita movers work the narrow blocks around Elizabeth Street.

Grand Street Co-ops

Large co-op complexes near the East River with board rules, set move hours and service elevators. Book the elevator as soon as you have a date. Grand Street runs west into Little Italy, and we handle moving in Little Italy too, where walk-ups sit above restaurants.

Two Bridges and Essex Crossing

New rental towers with loading docks and freight elevators, close to the Manhattan Bridge. These buildings run smoothly once the COI and dock time are confirmed. Two Bridges runs right into Chinatown, and our Chinatown crew works both sides of the Manhattan Bridge every week.

Overall, the service helped take some of the pressure out of moving. The team handled our belongings carefully, communicated clearly, and helped us get through an otherwise busy day.

Moving with children and managing all the usual household tasks can be a lot to juggle. Having a moving crew take care of the transportation made the day easier for our family.
I was glad to have help disassembling and moving some of our larger furniture. Handling those pieces ourselves would have taken considerably more time and effort.
