Upper Manhattan Movers

Upper Manhattan runs Harlem to Inwood, and it throws everything at you: big prewar apartments, brownstones, five-flight walk-ups, NYCHA buildings, all on blocks that go uphill. We handle the size, the slope, and the paperwork, so a move anywhere above 96th doesn’t turn into a two-day ordeal.

Service Details

Moving across Upper Manhattan, where the apartments are big and the blocks are steep

Above 96th the housing is roomy prewar buildings, historic brownstones, walk-ups, and NYCHA developments, and the ground is genuinely hilly. Bigger apartments mean more to move. The slopes mean more work per box. We’ve moved every corner of Upper Manhattan since 2013. The upper manhattan movers who get it right don’t undersize the crew and don’t pretend the hill isn’t there, so the load and the access both get planned for.

What an Upper Manhattan move includes

You get a crew sized to the apartment and the slope, with blankets in the price and access sorted ahead of time. Walk-up flights and brownstone stoops are counted upfront. NYCHA buildings get their COI and access coordinated. And a bigger apartment gets a bigger truck, so it doesn’t turn into two trips.

Stairs and stoops counted and quoted upfront, no surprise fee
NYCHA building access and COI coordinated before move day
Crew and truck sized to larger uptown apartments with more to move
Extra hands for carries on steep, hilly uptown blocks
Blanket and stretch-wrap protection for prewar floors and brownstone trim

Working Process

How your Upper Manhattan move works

We plan the size, the stairs, the slope, and the access first, because uptown all of them add work. Four steps, no surprises.

Get your quote

Send both addresses, the floor, and the building type. We quote it upfront with the flights, stoop, and hilly block counted.

Handle access

For NYCHA or a co-op we file the certificate and confirm access; for a brownstone or walk-up we plan the stoop, the stairs, and the truck.

Moving day

A uniformed crew arrives on time, protects the floors, and carries carefully up or down the hill.

Settled

Furniture placed, boxes in the right rooms, and a quick check before we are done.

Why Upper Manhattan residents call us

Uptown hands you bigger apartments, steeper blocks, and three kinds of building in one trip, from a brownstone to a NYCHA tower. Plan for all of it and you finish on time. Underestimate any one of them and you run late.

Why Choose Us

Big, hilly, and every building type

Our movers are in-house W-2 staff who work all of Upper Manhattan, so the big prewar layouts, the brownstone stoops, the walk-ups, and the NYCHA access rules are just familiar ground. We size the crew to the real load. We staff for the slope. We count the flights and sort the NYCHA access and the COI before the date. Since 2013, that’s what keeps our uptown moves out of a second day.

Upfront pricing. Flat or hourly, agreed before we start, with the flights, stoop, and hill counted so the carry holds no surprise surcharge.
Sized to the load. Uptown apartments are larger. We size the crew and truck to the real volume so a big move does not spill into a second trip.
NYCHA handled. NYCHA buildings have specific access and COI requirements. We coordinate with management and file the certificate before the date.
Staffed for the slope. Steep uptown blocks add work. We bring enough hands to keep the weight controlled on the hill.

These guys are awesome. I didn't feel like I was getting scammed like with some other companies. The rate was great and they were so efficient. 3 hours for an entire 1 bedroom! Tony and the guys were very careful with my furniture and boxes. The most efficient and skilled movers! Will definitely use again.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which neighborhoods count as Upper Manhattan?

We use it for the northern part of the island above roughly 96th Street: Harlem, Hamilton Heights and West Harlem, Washington Heights, and Inwood. Each has its own building mix, and we plan the move for the specific block and building type at your address.

Do you handle NYCHA buildings uptown?

Yes. NYCHA developments across Upper Manhattan have their own access protocols and a specific COI format management requires before a crew can enter. We coordinate access and file the certificate ahead of the date, at no extra charge, so the move is not held up at the door.

Are uptown apartments bigger to move?

Often, yes. Upper Manhattan prewar apartments tend to be larger and more affordable than downtown, which means more furniture and boxes. We size the crew and truck to the real volume so a big apartment moves in one go, not two trips.

Do the hills affect the move?

Yes, uptown blocks are genuinely hilly, which adds work to a stairs-and-street carry. We size the crew for the slope and factor it into the quote rather than being caught out by the hill on move day.

How much does an Upper Manhattan move cost?

It depends on your apartment size, the floor, the building type, and the block. We quote it upfront, flat or hourly, with the flights, stoop, and hill counted and blankets included. A NYCHA COI or elevator-co-op certificate is planned in, not sprung on you.
