Apartment Movers in Brooklyn

Most Brooklyn moves are apartment moves — a studio in Bushwick, a one-bedroom in Crown Heights, a two-bedroom walk-up in Park Slope, a fourth-floor railroad flat in Bed-Stuy. The Golden Truck Moving Company runs apartment moves across Brooklyn every week, and we price them upfront before moving day, so there are no surprises when the truck pulls up.

Brooklyn apartments are not all the same move. A garden-level studio with a wide front door is a different job from a fifth-floor walk-up with a narrow stairwell, and a new elevator building on Fourth Avenue has different rules from a pre-war building in Flatbush. We ask about the building, the floor, and the stairs when you book — and we bring the crew size the job actually needs.

Apartment moves we run most

• Studio moves: one truck, two movers, usually done in two hours — bed, dresser, couch, boxes, and the kitchen, loaded and placed in the new place.
• 1-bedroom moves: the most common Brooklyn move. Bedroom set, living room, kitchen boxes, and the pieces that do not fit through the door without being taken apart first.
• 2-bedroom moves: three movers and the full truck, room by room, with beds reassembled and furniture placed where you want it — not stacked in the middle of the living room.
• Walk-up moves: fourth and fifth floors, narrow stairs, tight landings. We pad banisters and door frames standard on every job, and we bring the crew the stairs demand.
• Elevator buildings: freight elevator reservations and building COIs handled — send us the building's move packet and we coordinate it before moving day.
• Single-room and partial moves: one bedroom set, a couch and a TV stand, the boxes from a storage unit — moved carefully to a new home nearby.

What an apartment move costs

We quote apartment moves two ways — hourly, or one flat price for the whole move. Either way, the price is fixed before we start:

• 2 movers + truck, 2 hours — $400
• 3 movers + truck, 3 hours — $585
• Flat-rate, all-inclusive (crew, truck, gas & tolls, blankets & wrapping, basic disassembly/reassembly, building COI): Studio $695 · 1 Bedroom $895 · 2 Bedroom $1,295
• Stairs: first flight free, then $25 per flight
• 10% off any move performed Tuesday–Thursday — mention it when you book
• Single piece or a few boxes, nearby — from $300 for a small local job

Flat-rate moves are quoted from your inventory, so tell us what is going — the big pieces, the box count, both addresses — and we will give you the number in writing. Elevator or one flight is included in the flat rate; full packing is quoted separately.

Moving out of a Brooklyn apartment: what to know

• Building rules: many Brooklyn buildings need a certificate of insurance and an elevator reservation. Send us the requirements when you book and we handle the paperwork — do not leave it to moving day.
• Walk-up stairs: tell us the floor and the tightest turn when you book. A sectional that came up the stairs in pieces goes down the same way, and we plan for it.
• Parking: double-parking a truck on a narrow side street takes planning — we handle placement so the move starts on time and the neighbors stay friendly.
• What does not make the move: the extra furniture, the boxes from the basement cage, the old mattress — we can haul it away in the same visit, so the old apartment is left clear for the landlord.

Common questions

How much does it cost to move a 1-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn?

Our flat rate for a 1-bedroom is $895, all-inclusive — crew, truck, gas and tolls, blankets and wrapping, basic disassembly and reassembly, and the building COI. Hourly, most 1-bedroom moves run 2 movers + truck for 2 hours — $400, or 3 movers + truck for 3 hours — $585. Stairs are $25 per flight after the first flight free, and moves performed Tuesday–Thursday are 10% off.

How much does it cost to move a studio apartment in Brooklyn?

Our flat rate for a studio is $695, all-inclusive. Hourly, most studio moves fit the 2 movers + truck, 2 hours — $400 rate. Small nearby single-piece jobs start at $300.

Can you handle my building's COI and elevator booking?

Yes — send us the building's requirements and we take care of the certificate and the elevator reservation before moving day. Most Brooklyn elevator buildings need both, and we do them every week.

Do you move on weekends?

Yes. Saturday slots go fast, so call early in the week to reserve — and remember, Tuesday–Thursday moves are 10% off if your schedule is flexible.

How far in advance should I book?

A week is ideal, especially if the building needs an elevator reservation. Last-minute moves happen too — text (646) 708-4344 and we will fit you in when the schedule allows.

What if I only need one room moved?

We do single-room and single-piece moves all the time — one bedroom set, one couch, a few boxes. Nearby single-piece jobs start at $300. Tell us the piece and both addresses and we will quote it.
