Service Details

Moving in Washington Heights, where the apartments are big and the hills are real

Uptown near the bridge, the buildings are large prewar apartment houses, some with elevators and plenty with walk-up stairs, on genuinely steep hills. The apartments are bigger and more affordable than downtown, which means more to move. Since 2013 we have carried these buildings up and down. The washington heights movers who get it right count the flights and plan for the slope, because both add work to the carry.

What a Washington Heights move includes

A crew sized to the apartment and the slope, blankets in the price, and access handled ahead. Walk-up flights get counted upfront, and the larger prewar layouts get the crew and truck sized to a real load.

Stairs counted and quoted upfront for prewar walk-ups, no surprise fee

Working Process

How your Washington Heights move works

We plan the stairs, the size, and the slope first, because uptown all three 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 and the hilly block counted in.

Plan the carry

We size the crew and truck to a larger apartment and the slope, and file a COI if your building requires one.

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 Washington Heights residents call us

Uptown apartments are bigger and the blocks are steeper, so the same-size move is more work here than downtown. Crews that plan for the size and the slope finish on time; the ones that do not run late.

Why Choose Us

Big apartments, steep blocks

Our movers are in-house W-2 staff who work Washington Heights constantly, so the large prewar layouts and the steep bridge-area blocks are familiar ground. We count the flights, size the crew to a real load, and staff for the slope. Since 2013 that planning keeps our uptown moves on schedule even when the apartment is big and the block goes uphill.

Upfront pricing. Flat or hourly, agreed before we start, with the flights 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.
Staffed for the slope. A steep bridge-area block adds work. We bring enough hands to keep the weight controlled going up or down the hill.
COI handled. Elevator co-ops here often require a certificate. We confirm the format and file it before the date.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you charge extra for a Washington Heights walk-up?

The stairs are counted in your quote upfront, not sprung on you on move day. Prewar walk-ups are common uptown; we just need the number of flights and any tight turns so the price and crew are right from the start, hills and all.

Do the hills affect the move?

They add real work, and we plan for it. The bridge-area blocks are steep, which makes a stairs-and-street carry heavier, so we size the crew for the slope and factor it into the quote rather than being caught out by the hill on move day.

Are Washington Heights apartments bigger to move?

Often, yes. Uptown 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.

How much does a Washington Heights 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 and hill counted and blankets included. A COI for an elevator co-op is planned in, not sprung on you.

Do you file a COI for my building?

Yes. Many Washington Heights elevator co-ops require a certificate of insurance before a crew can enter or use the elevator. We confirm your building's exact format and file it before the date, at no extra charge, so access is never the holdup.
