Movers for Walk Ups
Hi, I am moving out of a one bed. walk up 500sq foot (4th floor) into a walk up (forth floor). Must be a glutton for punishment.. Any suggestions for movers. We don’t have too much that is valuable, a lot of books… staying in the neighborhood (cobble hill to carrol gardens). I haven’t decided…
Hi, I am moving out of a one bed. walk up 500sq foot (4th floor) into a walk up (forth floor). Must be a glutton for punishment..
Any suggestions for movers. We don’t have too much that is valuable, a lot of books… staying in the neighborhood (cobble hill to carrol gardens).
I haven’t decided yet if I will pack it up myself or pay someone. I might partial pack if that is possible (eg all books I can pack and the kitchen)
Thanks!
I just read a feature on a local moving company on the wordoncolumbiastreet blog. They sounded like a good, responsible company, and are in the area. Sorry, can’t remember the name….
I just moved and used Rabbitmovers.com. I moved from a 3rd fl walkup to a 1st floor apt so my move wasn’t as bad as what you may have.
I didn’t have too much stuff to move. I got a new bed and couch for my new place so they were already there. But Rabbit Movers were great. They charged $140 an hr for 3 movers, with a minimum charge of 2 hours plus a $70 transportation fee. My boxes were heavy but they got it done pretty quickly and were nice guys.
I’m not sure how they compare to other places price wise but going by how easy the move was I would definitely use them again!
You can get local movers to bid on your move at http://www.citymove.com. You can choose a mover based on past reviews, ratings and price. Good luck with your move.
I used grangergreenbaum@gmail.com for a move from Chelsea to Brooklyn and was very happy. Charged by the hour and took good care of our stuff. Not sure if they do packing. Found them on citymove.com.
We just used “shleppers” to move from manhattan to bay ridge. They did a great job, and they are sticklers about maintaining a good rating on yelp which was reassuring to know before using them..

I had a great experience with All Star Moving & Storage. Rates are not the cheapest, but they are professional, quick, and careful.
