Long Distance Movers in Brooklyn

Most of our work is local — a Brooklyn apartment to another Brooklyn apartment, a brownstone to a house in Queens. But the same crews and the same trucks run long-distance moves too: Brooklyn to New Jersey, to Pennsylvania, upstate, and beyond. One crew, one truck, your belongings loaded once and driven straight to the new place.

Long-distance moves are priced differently from local ones. There is no hourly clock running on the highway — we quote the job in writing from your inventory and both addresses, so the price you agree to is the price you pay. Tell us what is going, where it is going, and any stairs or elevator rules at either end, and we will give you the number before moving day.

Long-distance moves we run

• Brooklyn to New Jersey: Jersey City, Hoboken, Newark, the suburbs — apartment and house moves across the Hudson, with the same crew loading and unloading.
• Brooklyn to Pennsylvania: Philadelphia, the Lehigh Valley, the Poconos — full-truck moves for families relocating out of the city.
• Brooklyn to upstate New York: the Hudson Valley, Albany, the Catskills — house moves where the truck is loaded once and driven straight through.
• Brooklyn to Long Island and Connecticut: Suffolk and Nassau counties, Fairfield County — moves that start in a Brooklyn walk-up and end in a driveway.
• Brooklyn to New England and beyond: Boston, Rhode Island, and further — quoted per job, scheduled around your closing or lease date.
• Partial long-distance loads: a bedroom set, a couch and boxes, the contents of a storage unit — moved carefully to a new home outside the city.

What a long-distance move costs

Long-distance moves are quoted per job, not by the hour. The price depends on the size of the load, the distance, and the access at both ends — stairs, elevators, parking, and how far the truck can get to the door. We quote it in writing before moving day, and the quote covers the crew, the truck, gas and tolls, blankets and wrapping, and basic disassembly and reassembly.

• Quoted in writing: one firm price for the whole move, agreed before moving day
• One crew, one truck: the same movers who load in Brooklyn unload at the other end — nothing is handed off
• Local rates for comparison: 2 movers + truck, 2 hours — $400; 3 movers + truck, 3 hours — $585
• Flat-rate local moves: Studio $695 · 1 Bedroom $895 · 2 Bedroom $1,295 (local NYC moves, all-inclusive)
• 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

Planning a move out of Brooklyn: what to know

• Book the date early: long-distance moves are scheduled around closings and lease starts. A week or two of lead time lets us hold the truck and crew for your day.
• Inventory matters: the quote comes from what is actually going — the big pieces, the box count, anything that needs taking apart. Send photos and the list and the number comes back fast.
• Access at both ends: tell us the floor and stairs in Brooklyn and the driveway, stairs, or elevator at the destination. A fifth-floor walk-up and a house with a long driveway are different jobs, and we plan for both.
• What does not make the trip: the extra furniture, the boxes from the basement cage, the old mattress — we can haul it away in the same visit, so the old place is left clear.
• Storage in between: if the new place is not ready yet, we offer customer storage at $370 a month — your belongings held until the new home is ready.

Common questions

How much does a long-distance move from Brooklyn cost?

Every long-distance move is quoted per job — it depends on the size of the load, the distance, and the access at both ends. Send us the inventory, both addresses, and photos of the big pieces, and we will quote it in writing. For comparison, our local rates are 2 movers + truck for 2 hours — $400 and 3 movers + truck for 3 hours — $585.

Do the same movers load and unload?

Yes — the crew that loads your belongings in Brooklyn is the crew that unloads them at the destination. Nothing is handed off to another company along the way.

Can you move me to New Jersey or Pennsylvania?

Yes. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, upstate New York, Long Island, Connecticut, and New England are regular runs for us. Tell us the destination and we will quote it.

How far in advance should I book a long-distance move?

A week or two is ideal, especially if the date is tied to a closing. Call as soon as you have the date — text (646) 708-4344 and we will hold the truck and crew.

What if my new home is not ready on moving day?

We offer customer storage at $370 a month. Your belongings are held safely until the new place is ready, then delivered when you are.

Do you handle building COIs for long-distance moves?

Yes — send us the building's requirements at either end and we take care of the certificate and any elevator reservation before moving day.
