The yard is in Long Island City, and the crew works out from there across the whole city. A typical week runs through the Upper East Side, Chelsea, Harlem, and the Lower East Side over in Manhattan; Williamsburg, Park Slope, Fort Greene, and Bushwick in Brooklyn; Astoria and Forest Hills in Queens; Riverdale and the rest of the Bronx; and the single-family blocks of Staten Island. Pre-war co-ops, brownstone duplexes, glass high-rises, six-floor walk-ups — all of it is just another workday for us.
Could be a short hop between two flats a few blocks apart, could be a cross-country load leaving a borough address for the far coast. Either way, one crew maps the entire run, first carton out through last carton placed. Choose any neighborhood from the list for notes on the streets, a sense of where pricing lands, and a free quote.
Why knowing the blocks matters
Every pocket of the city plays by its own rules. Show up at a managed co-op with no COI on file and the lobby turns you away; same story at a tower that opens the freight car for booked windows only. Legal parking barely exists, so a loading zone, a double-park, or a city permit goes into every plan, and alternate-side can shut your side of the curb on the wrong morning. The FDR and the BQE seize up out of nowhere, and a winter nor’easter glazes the stoops and front steps with ice. Because we know the bridges, the tunnels, and which building wants what, we sort it all before move day rather than bill you while we puzzle it out.
