Movers in New York City
The smaller living styles, access restrictions, building regulations and limited spaces in New York City make moving furniture and personal items difficult. Thus, you’ll need to hire experts to tackle these challenges professionally. Experienced movers will move your office essentials to a new space and transport a single bulky piece of home furniture in neighborhoods like Williamsburg, the Upper East Side or Chelsea.
We are a full-service New York City company A Plus Moving that does everything pertaining to a move, including providing packing supplies and acquiring the necessary permits. Below is our process:
- Planning and Moving Team Allocation: We design a custom plan and assign you a moving crew to handle the tasks involved in the move, such as packing and loading.
- Items Wrapping: Our local moving experts wrap your items in packing papers or bubble wrap and pack them into boxes for protection during the move.
- Labeling and Loading: We label each packed box on the moving day to ensure a smooth unpacking and load the items in our vehicles using ramps and other loading equipment.
- Transportation and Unloading: We transport your belongings from the current location to the new area and unload them after arriving.
- Reassembly and Arrangement: Our furniture movers attach and arrange any disassembled item and help set up electronics like flat-screen TVs, or other bulky appliances.
Cost of Moving Services in New York City
Moving in New York may cost more or less based on the following factors:
- Distance: Local moves within NYC are typically shorter and need less fuel and labor, which results in lower moving costs unlike long distance moves.
- Size of the move: Relocating a studio apartment will cost less because it entails fewer households, labor, and working time than moving a 3-bedroom house.
- Seasonality: Weekends, end months, and summer seasons require more moving costs because they are peak times and thus, the demand for relocating is high.
The average price for various types of moves in NYC includes:
- Local moving (moving within NYC or nearby areas): $400 to $2000
- Long-distance moving (e.g., relocating from New York City to Chicago): $600 to $10,000
- Residential Moving (like relocating a studio house or a two-bedroom apartment): $500 to $3,500

New York City
New York City is home to over 8 million people and n consists of five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx and Statep Island. Manhattan, the main part of the city, is known for skyscrapers and the financial centre on Wall Street. It is also home to Central Park, a green oasis amidst the stone jungle, and Times Square, a colourful symbol of the city’s bustle.
Moreover, NYC experiences a humid subtropical climate. Winters are cold, with occasional snow while the summer months are hot and humid. The job market is strong, with job opportunities in various sectors like Technology, Healthcare, Media, Finance, and Art and Entertainment. But even so, there is a high unemployment rate (4.4%).
Matt has been with us for 6 years, and has proven himself as a true professional. His credo is “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” Outside of work, Matt can be found on the basketball court or with his family watching old movies.
Samuel is one of our most dependable crew members. He takes pride in treating every client’s belongings as if they were his own, and his calm approach keeps even the most stressful moves running smoothly.
Why Us
At A Plus Moving Group, satisfaction isn’t a marketing phrase — it’s a standard we’re held to by over 700 verified customer reviews across Google, Facebook, and AuthorityMovers.com.
Clients like the US Army, Bank of America, and Airbnb have trusted us with their moves, and we treat every residential customer with the same level of care.
If something isn’t right, we make it right. That’s the A Plus promise.
Most movers show up with a truck. We show up with a plan. A Plus Moving Group handles every phase of your move: furniture disassembly, professional packing, secured transport, and full reassembly at your new location.
We also specialize in moves that other companies turn down — piano relocation, fish tank transport, IT equipment handling, and oversized or awkwardly shaped furniture. If it needs to get from point A to point B safely, we have the equipment and the experience to do it.
A Plus Moving Group is fully licensed and insured — USDOT #3920829, MC #1450184 — and every move we take on comes with full value insurance coverage. That means if anything is damaged in transit, you’re covered for its actual replacement value, not some fraction of it.
We don’t cut corners on protection, because your belongings aren’t replaceable by a lowball claim.
Life doesn’t run on a Monday-through-Friday schedule, and neither do we. A Plus Moving Group is available six days a week — Monday through Saturday — including holidays, because we know that’s often when moves actually happen.
Our crews are trained to work efficiently without rushing, so punctuality never comes at the cost of care. And if something urgent comes up, we maintain dedicated emergency teams for same-day service.
Our fleet isn’t one-size-fits-all — and your move shouldn’t be either. A Plus Moving Group operates a modern lineup of GPS-tracked trucks in multiple sizes, and you choose the configuration that makes sense for your move: the right van size, the right number of movers. That flexibility means you’re never paying for capacity you don’t need, and you’re never stuck with a crew that’s underprepared for the job.
Every A Plus Moving Group crew member passes a background check and is hired based on demonstrated professionalism — not just availability. Our movers show up knowing your move plan, prepared for the specific items involved, and briefed on any special handling requirements.
The values we hire for — discipline, honesty, respect, and accountability — are the same ones our customers mention by name in their reviews. That’s not an accident.
The price we quote is the price you pay. A Plus Moving Group operates on fixed, transparent quotes — the number you see before your move is the number on your final invoice, with nothing added on top.
We’d rather earn your trust upfront with an honest price than chase you with surprises at the end. That’s how we’ve built the reputation that 700+ customers took the time to put in writing.
