Movers in Brooklyn, From the Brownstone Stoop to the Walk-Up Landing

Some mornings start at a parlor-floor brownstone off Prospect Park, the sort with a stoop, a snug interior stair, and a marble mantel nobody wants chipped. Other days bring a fourth-floor walk-up in Williamsburg on a one-way street with nowhere legal to set a 26-footer. Once in a while it’s a row house in Bay Ridge where the job at least includes a driveway. Brooklyn spans that whole spread, and day after day it’s exactly what my crew handles. I’m Marcus Marley, raised in Crown Heights, and I launched Marley Moving Corp in 2009 to be the outfit that nails the building paperwork and the parking so the move actually happens. Our movers all carry W-2 status, our trucks are titled to the company, and we are fully licensed and insured under our own New York State and federal authority. You get the price as one fixed, written-down number before any room is emptied.

Brownstones, stoops, and the parlor-floor carry

The brownstones of Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, and Fort Greene come with stoops, narrow interior stairs, and original woodwork. We size up the stoop and the stairwell at the estimate, pad the newel posts, lay floor protection from the doorway out to the curb, and take the heavy pieces apart at any bend that would otherwise scuff or gouge. When a managed building or condo wants a COI on file, we pull it in advance and name the building, so nobody gets stopped at the door.

One-way streets, no parking, and the double-park

Much of north Brooklyn runs one-way and parked curb to curb, so we work out the truck position before move day, file for a loading-zone permit where a block calls for one, and fold alternate-side rules into the morning. That read happens at the estimate and rolls into your figure, never tacked on once the truck is sealed.

One licensed figure, with nothing hidden in it

Whatever we agree on once the rooms are walked is what holds. Local hourly is $149 for two movers, $199 for three, $259 for four, and a flat two-bedroom lands between $1,400 and $2,400 according to the walk-up and the volume. Between-lease storage runs roughly $120 to $340 monthly depending on the unit, with the opening month usually half price, printed onto the same quote. The $0.60-per-pound figure and the nine-month claim window are spelled out on the agreement, our state license rides with the federal IDs, and any harm from our own truck is ours to put right. Phone (888) 711-4778 and your Brooklyn date is reserved.

Common questions we get about moving in Brooklyn

Common questions on a move to Brooklyn

My place is a parlor-floor brownstone off Prospect Park with a steep stoop and a narrow stair. Can a full truck still load there?
Most days it works out. At the estimate we size up the stoop and the interior stair, pad the newel posts, and take the larger pieces apart at the bend that would otherwise scuff or gouge. We lay floor protection from the doorway out to the curb and pin that route and its cost before you sign, so move-out morning brings no surprises.
There's no legal parking on my one-way block in Williamsburg. How does the truck even get loaded?
We work out the truck position before the date and file for a loading-zone permit where a block calls for one, folding alternate-side rules into the morning. If the street is too narrow for the 26-footer to sit, we stage from the closest open stretch and keep the hand-carry brief, all settled on your figure before move day.
If a long stoop carry or a tight stairwell stretches the load-out, does my quote climb?
Not at all. Whatever we agree on once the place is walked is what holds, whether a brownstone stair draws out the carry or a slow morning burns the clock. Nothing accrues by the hour, and we add nothing once the final piece is up the ramp.

We had an exceptional moving experience with Marley Moving Corp. The crew was professional, diligent, especially careful with our furniture, and extremely fast! I was stunned by the quality of their service. Moving is difficult and stressful and frequently there are issues. Not the case here. Marley Moving Corp did two moves for us (4 locations) in less than 5 hours. They handled our furniture with extreme care. We will never use another moving service besides them in the future!

Tony and his crew were excellent moving us today. They were courteous and incredibly efficient. They packed up a 2k square ft house, garage and patio, then went to a 10x10 packed storage unit and loaded that, then moved everything into a 2 story house, built all the furniture and cleaned up their materials…all in 8 hours. Every member of Tony’s crew was great. I’ve moved many times and this was the best and easiest move I’ve done. I highly recommend you use Marley for your next move.
