Did you know that some days are less expensive to move on than others? That’s right! Since the majority of leases in NYC start and finish at the end of each month, moving gets exponentially pricier during the month’s last week and weekend.
If you can be flexible, try to move in during the earlier weeks of each month. This alone could save you hundreds of dollars and give you better options when it comes to NYC moving services as you’ll have less competition.

Most residential building supers, doormen, property managers, etc. expect their incoming and outgoing tenants will give them a heads-up well in advance of their upcoming NYC move. This allows them to ensure everything is ready for all move-in/move-out procedures, as well as eliminate the surprise of an unexpectedly hectic day. This is especially important upon move-in as it’s often where you make your first impressions. Don’t start off on the wrong foot. Also, it’s very common that whomever is assisting you will expect a tip for the additional services they provided to help you move.

If you’re lucky enough to have a place with a working elevator, don’t forget to book a time to use it for your move in advance.
This ensures that you’re not trying to move in or out at the same time as someone else. Many apartments will also pad the elevators if they know it’s being used for moving, protecting both your stuff and the elevator itself.

Also, measure your biggest items and the elevator to see if everything will fit. If not, you’ll have to either disassemble your oversized objects or come up with another strategy to get it moved.

Especially in a crowded place like NYC, it’s highly recommended that you hire a moving company to ensure your property is safely moved into your new home. We get that urban living often means a tight budget. However, including the hiring of a moving company into your overall moving budget provides added convenience and security for your most prized possessions.

Isn’t moving hard enough already? And just think—If you were to do it all yourself, how would you get your dining table or cabinetry from Bay Ridge to the Bronx? And do you really want to take your grandmother’s fine china on the subway?

Instead, trust a NYC moving company that’s dedicated to moving New Yorkers and their things as safely and stress-free as possible to their new homes

There are many moving companies in NYC, so how do you best choose which one is right for you? Here are a few questions to ask yourself when choosing moving companies:

Are They Fully Certified, Licensed and Insured? If a company has any hesitation in providing proof that they are certified, licensed and insured, which guarantees your property’s protection, mark that as an immediate red flag.

How Are The Reviews? Online and word-of-mouth reviews are some of the best way to vet a potential moving company. Yelp, Facebook, and simply talking with friends or family that have recently moved in NYC are great ways to gain insight on real world moving experiences.

Do They Conduct Background Checks? All companies should run thorough background checks on their employees and be able to explain to you how they are completed. After all, these people will be in your home and handling your things. A good company will respect that and fully assure you that your belongings are in great hands.
