Manhattan Moving Services
Local Manhattan Moves
Whether you are moving several blocks or relocating to another borough, access conditions can matter just as much as driving distance.
Learn more about our local moving services in NYC.
Manhattan Apartment Movers
Apartment moves may involve doormen, service entrances, freight elevators, loading areas and scheduled moving windows. Providing this information before moving day helps the crew prepare for the property.

High-Rise and Elevator Building Moves
Many Manhattan residential buildings have formal procedures for moves. Contact management at both properties and determine whether elevators need to be reserved.
Read our NYC elevator moving guide for a detailed preparation checklist.
Commercial and Office Moving
Manhattan business relocations may require coordination around office furniture, equipment, loading areas, service elevators and building schedules.
Visit our commercial moving services page for additional information.
Packing Services
Customers who need help preparing boxes and belongings can add professional packing services to their move.
Moving and Storage
If your belongings cannot move directly into the destination, our moving and storage services may help bridge the gap between locations.
Certificates of Insurance for Manhattan Moves
Some Manhattan apartment, condo, co-op and commercial buildings require a moving company to provide a Certificate of Insurance before the crew is allowed to work in the property.
Because each building can have different requirements, ask management for written instructions or a sample certificate and provide the information before moving day.
See our NYC moving COI guide for more information.
Service Elevator Reservations
Do not assume that the building elevator will automatically be available. Some properties have designated service elevators and specific reservation windows for moves.
Confirm the reservation with management and communicate the scheduled time to your moving company.
