Local Moving in Brooklyn

Hourly crews sized to your actual building, not a phone guess

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.

Most local jobs in Brooklyn aren’t decided by mileage — they’re decided by the building. A two-flight walk-up in Park Slope needs a different crew than a Sunset Park building with a loading dock and a super who wants forty-eight hours’ notice. Anthony walks the space (in person or over video) before he quotes an hourly rate, so the crew that shows up is sized for your actual stairs, not a phone guess.

Two movers run $145/hr, three run $190/hr, four run $235/hr, and each additional mover adds $50/hr. Studio and one-bedroom moves usually clear in a half-day; larger apartments book a full crew for the whole day. The $175 deposit comes off your final invoice, and the hourly clock doesn’t start until the truck is loading, not while it’s circling the block for parking.

What’s Included With This Service

  • In-person or video walkthrough before the crew is booked
  • Crew size matched to stairs, elevators, or loading dock access
  • Furniture pads, shrink wrap, and dollies included in the hourly rate
  • Clock starts at loading, not while the truck hunts for parking
  • $175 deposit credited to your final invoice

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

How is the hourly rate calculated?
You're billed for crew size and truck, starting when loading begins. Two movers are $145/hr, three are $190/hr, four are $235/hr, and each additional mover adds $50/hr.
Do you subcontract local moves to other crews?
No. Every local move in Brooklyn is run by our own trucks and our own W-2 movers — we don't hand jobs off to outside crews.
What if my move runs longer than estimated?
You're billed for the actual hours worked at the same rate quoted at booking. There's no surprise multiplier once the truck is loaded.

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.
