Movers in Riverdale, the Elevator Co-Ops Above the Henry Hudson
Riverdale is the leafy northwest corner of the Bronx, perched on the hills above the Henry Hudson. Most who call us are a shareholder in an elevator co-op, an owner of one of the single-family houses up a steep block, or a family heading back into the city from the suburbs. I’m Marcus Marley, and since 2009 my crew at Marley Moving Corp has worked these hills on W-2 movers and a fleet titled to the company. Co-op, house on a hill, or a garden apartment, the written quote you sign is locked down before a carton ever moves.
The co-ops, the COI, and the service elevator
Nearly every elevator co-op out this way answers 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, so the price has already taken it into account.
The hills, the houses, and footing for the truck
The single-family homes up here perch on steep blocks above the parkway, with driveways that pitch and interior stairs between floors. The first thing we lock down is a parking spot where a packed rig can sit on the grade without forcing the whole carry uphill, so one of us studies the block during the visit and picks the place that keeps the walk short. A longer or steeper haul gets noted on that visit, so the price has already taken it in.
The price set on paper, plus storage to span a move
If your two closings pull apart, your things rest in our between-lease storage, clean and locked, somewhere near $120 to $340 monthly by unit, the opening month usually half price, with that line spelled out up front. The moment the walkthrough wraps, the number is locked, no fuel charge and no invented hill surcharge dreamed up later. 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 appear in plain print across the agreement, the same hands that load your things are the hands that set them down again, and any mark our truck leaves is ours to make good. Phone (888) 711-4778 and we’ll set your Riverdale date.
