Apartment & Condo Moving in Brooklyn, NY

Elevator reservations and walk-up crews sized before move day

Submitting this puts you straight into Anthony’s queue — expect a callback from him or Gina the same day, already carrying a crew size, an hourly rate, and whatever paperwork your building needs for your Brooklyn-area move. No call center in between.

Ask any Brooklyn mover what kills a walk-up job and they’ll say the same thing: nobody reserved the freight elevator, or nobody told the doorman a truck was coming. Fourth-floor walk-ups without an elevator and elevator buildings that require a booked slot both need the same thing — someone calling ahead. That’s Gina’s job before your crew ever shows up, not something worked out on the sidewalk.

Pricing follows the hourly structure: $145/hr for two movers, $190/hr for three, $235/hr for four, $50/hr for each additional. Walk-ups without elevator access typically need the larger crew size to keep the hourly total reasonable — we’ll size it correctly at the walkthrough instead of sending two guys up five flights all afternoon. Williamsburg lofts with narrow stairwells and Greenpoint walk-ups get the same call-ahead treatment, and the $175 deposit comes off your final bill either way.

What’s Included With This Service

  • Freight elevator reservation booked with management ahead of move day
  • COI submitted to building management before crew arrival
  • Crew size matched to walk-up flight count, not a flat two-mover default
  • Doorman and loading-dock coordination for elevator buildings
  • Furniture disassembly for pieces that won't clear a stairwell turn

What This Service Costs

Crew size sets your hourly rate — $145/hr for two movers, $190/hr for three, $235/hr for four — and if you’d rather lock in a firm number first, Anthony or Marcus can walk the job ahead of time and write one up

The truck, dollies, and furniture pads all ride inside that hourly rate, nothing billed separately: $145 for two movers, $190 for three, $235 for four, and $50/hr for each additional mover after that. A $175 deposit holds your date and is credited straight to the final invoice. Basic coverage comes standard on every job, and if your building requires a certificate of insurance or a freight elevator reservation, Gina has it arranged before your crew ever shows up.

“Movers were courteous and careful. Did a great job in a fairly short period of time despite having to deal with large bulky furniture, a modest sized elevator and a garage ramp.”

Questions About This Service, Answered

What if my building requires proof of insurance before booking the elevator?
We provide the COI to your management office directly — it's part of booking, not an extra step you handle.
How many movers do I need for a 4th-floor walk-up?
Most one-bedroom walk-ups above the third floor move faster with a three- or four-person crew. We'll recommend crew size after seeing photos or doing a walkthrough.
Do you send day-labor help for bigger walk-ups?
No — every mover on the truck is our own W-2 employee, not day labor brought on for a busy day.
Six Years Of Same-Day COI Scrambles Taught Anthony To Handle It At Booking

The Paperwork’s Done Before The Truck Is

“I ran crews for a citywide outfit for six years before this, and half the job was showing up to a building where nobody had booked the freight elevator or filed the certificate of insurance, so the whole crew sat in the lobby while I got the building super on the phone. I started Brooklyn Best Movers in 2014 so none of our customers deal with that: the COI, the elevator reservation, and the parking plan get locked in the day you book, not chased down the morning of.”

The Paperwork Handled Before The Truck Ever Shows Up.

The person on the phone with you owns every truck on the lot. Anthony started Brooklyn Best Movers in 2014 after six years of watching building supers hold up moves because nobody had booked the elevator or filed the insurance paperwork — so now the COI, the elevator reservation, and the parking plan get locked in the day you book, not scrambled together the morning of.
