Movers in Staten Island, the Borough of Houses
A split-level in Tottenville on a Tuesday, a colonial in Great Kills come Thursday, then a household trading up from a townhouse in St. George who finally have a driveway and a garage to load from. Staten Island is the one borough that moves like the suburbs: single- and two-family houses with the rare New York driveway, reached over the Verrazzano or off the ferry. That’s work my crew does well. I’m Marcus Marley, and I founded Marley Moving Corp in 2009 with W-2 movers and a fleet titled to the company. We hold our own New York State and federal operating authority, and every load travels under $1M of cargo coverage. A Staten Island booking earns real planning, every bit of it set into one fixed price, written down.
The houses, the driveways, and the longer carry
Most homes here come with a driveway, a garage, and the extra haul out to the truck bed that those bring. We cushion the newel posts, lay protective cover across the whole path, and dismantle furniture at any landing bend that might scuff or gouge. Where a basement or a finished attic is in play, that carry is recorded during the walkthrough so it rides inside the price from day one and never sneaks in along the way.
The bridge, the ferry, and the route in
Getting a crew and a truck onto the island means the Verrazzano or a run up from the ferry, so we set the loading hour to stay ahead of the bridge traffic and keep the day moving. The few condos and managed buildings on the north shore want a COI filed with management in advance, which we pull quickly and name to the building.
One flat, fully licensed total with no add-ons
Once one of us has toured the place, the price goes in writing and there it stays, whether a long driveway slows the carry or the bridge swallows the morning. Local hourly is $149 for two movers, $199 for three, $259 for four, and a flat three-bedroom house lands between $2,400 and $3,900 by the volume and the stairs. No fuel surcharge and no mileage line creeping aboard after we seal the truck. Authority for household goods through the state, the federal IDs, the released value of $0.60 a pound printed plainly on your agreement, and a crew staffed start to finish by people we employ.
