Mover reviews in New York City
On the ground
NYC prices walk-ups, not floor plans. A 1-bed on a fifth floor with no elevator can cost more than a 2-bed with a reserved freight car. Co-ops and many rentals ask for a certificate of insurance, elevator pads, and a time window. Alternate Side rules and street-closure permits decide whether the truck sits in front of the stoop or a block away. That block is a long-carry fee. Brooklyn brownstones often need a smaller truck plus a shuttle from a wider avenue. Crossing a borough or leaving for another state adds tolls and a possible waiting-time clock if the next building is late. NYSDOT household-goods authority covers in-state work. Interstate still needs FMCSA. Photograph the inventory and the truck doors before anyone rolls.
Buildings that want a COI 72 hours ahead will not let the crew on the service elevator if the email landed at 4pm the day before.
