Movers in Forest Hills, the Tudor Co-Ops and the Queens Boulevard Pre-Wars

Forest Hills is central Queens at its most settled. Most who call us are a shareholder in a pre-war elevator co-op, an owner inside the Tudor blocks of Forest Hills Gardens, or a renter in one of the apartment houses strung along Queens Boulevard. I’m Marcus Marley, and Marley Moving Corp has run since 2009 on W-2 movers and a fleet titled to the company. Tudor home, pre-war co-op, or a boulevard apartment, the quote you sign is fixed in writing before a hand touches the first carton.

The co-ops, the COI, and the service elevator

Most pre-war elevator buildings out here answer to a board, a COI filed with management, and a reserved service elevator. We file that COI in advance, name your building and its managing agent on it, and pin down the elevator window so the crew never waits at the door. Where a building schedules its service entrance or caps the move hours, we build the load around that at the walkthrough, and it is counted into your figure from the start.

Forest Hills Gardens, the Tudors, and a deliberate haul

The Tudor homes inside Forest Hills Gardens bring narrow interior stairs, leaded glass, and original detail, so they get a deliberate haul. Each piece is padded, the door frames are guarded, floor cover stretches out to the truck along the carry route, and the heavy items come apart wherever a turn would otherwise force a scrape. Those private lanes are tight, so the truck’s spot is mapped before move day.

The price set on paper, with storage to span the gap

If your two closings or leases miss each other, your things sit safe in our between-lease storage during the lull, somewhere in the $120 to $340 monthly range by unit, the opening month usually half price, that cost named at the very start. Once the tour ends the number is fixed, no fuel line and no after-the-fact stair fee bolted on. Local hourly is $149 for two movers, $199 for three, $259 for four. Our New York State household-goods authority runs together with our own federal authority, and the released value of $0.60 per pound plus a nine-month claim window stay printed in the agreement, a single crew loads and unloads, and any mark our own truck leaves is ours to repair. Phone (888) 711-4778 for a Forest Hills estimate.

Common questions we get about moving in Forest Hills

Common questions on a move to Forest Hills

My co-op answers to a board and turns movers away without a COI on file and the service elevator reserved. Can you cover it?
That's step one for us. Pass along the building, the managing agent, and the board's required limits, and we lodge the COI under the building's name a day or two early, then book the service-elevator slot. Both are settled before we show up, so nobody stands waiting at the entrance.
Our closing slipped. Can you warehouse everything during the stretch between the two places?
Absolutely. When the new home isn't ready, your things sit safe in our between-lease storage, clean and locked, and that crew carts them back once you're settled. That holding charge goes onto the quote from day one, roughly $120 to $340 monthly by unit, with the opening month usually half price.
Between a Tudor's narrow stairs and a cramped private lane, will any of that drive the cost up?
It won't. The figure quoted at the walkthrough stays exactly where it landed, whether a tight interior stair stretches the carry or the lane parks the truck a bit farther off. We don't run a clock, and no fresh charge shows up after the truck is packed.

Mike & Andre were awesome! They were super fast and professional. Even though there was a request for 3 people and only Andre/Mike showed, they took it on the chin & powered through the move from 9am until 7:45 This is my second move with Marley. My only complaint is we were supposed to have the additional mover which would’ve sped up the entire process & got the move done several hours earlier.

Mike, Tony and Luis arrived on time and got the job done swiftly and carefully. Mike handled making sure everything was loaded into the truck and the team made sure everything was moved to storage space safely and in a very organized way- which saved a lot of time. Tony and Luis were super quick in moving things from my first floor unit to the truck. There were no hidden charges, everything was as mentioned during the quote call and I was able to hand over a check to avoid any additional charges using a card. I would definitely hire the team again when the need arises.
