Emptying an Entire New York Home, Then Rebuilding It on the Other Side

A whole household sets a far steeper test for movers than any lone studio could. Picture the basement cage packed with off-season gear, the roof-deck set that has to come down a cramped service stair, the marathon banister a Park Slope brownstone is known for, along with the heirlooms that dare not pick up even one scratch. City households run toward the heavy end, with sideboards, bookcases, and dense pre-war headboards that grapple with every narrow landing, and our knack for handling that weight comes down to a plain fact: licensed in New York, rolling trucks we own, staffed by movers kept on payroll. Whoever tapes up your cabinet answers for it right onto the new floorboards, with no outside contractor strolling in midday to take over the work. Marley Moving Corp dates to 2009 under Marcus, who shows up for each move himself or sends one of his leads.

Everything Bundled Into the Job

  • A clean sweep through every room, the padding, the lifting, the transport, then the set-down
  • Travel-grade quilting and bracing across mirrors, artwork, screens, and the furniture
  • Headboards and big case pieces pulled apart at pickup, then stood back up on arrival
  • Protective runners and corner guards laid out at the departure address and again at the arrival one
  • Every box and item delivered into whichever room you’ve labeled

The Shape of Moving Day

It opens with the lead pacing both residences and fixing which items load when. The crew begins at the far rooms and moves out toward the entry, which has the truck emptying in close to the sequence you’ll furnish the new home. Once everyone’s arrived, up come the beds ahead of all else, and the boxes fan out to their labeled rooms instead of piling at the entry. A booked elevator window or a loading-zone permit dictates the pace, so the team fits the load to that window, leaving you off the hook for idle minutes. Let a nor’easter show on the forecast and it means grit underfoot on the stoop and a tarp shielding the ramp from driving snow. Any time a doorman or managed property wants a Certificate of Insurance, ours reaches them a day or two early.

What Falls Outside a Standard Move

Barring packing being added, boxing the cabinets stays on you, and we leave the plumbing and any hardwired connection untouched. When it comes to the laundry pair, rolling each unit back to its nook is no trouble, yet reconnecting them is rightly the work of a licensed technician.

Pricing

On the flat side, a two-bedroom sits between $1,400 and $2,400, a three-bedroom runs $2,400 to $3,900, and a four-bedroom lands somewhere from $3,800 to $6,000 after a walkthrough. Prefer to watch a meter over a set figure? It starts at $149/hr for a two-mover crew across a two-hour minimum, steps to $199/hr the moment a third hand joins on a larger place, then reaches $259/hr once a fourth comes on.

Service FAQs

What people usually want to know about this service

Does the quote stop at the main rooms, or do the basement cage, the closets, and the roof deck count?
All of it counts. A full-home job folds in the everyday rooms together with the basement cage, the stuffed hall closets, and anything parked out on the roof deck or terrace. We record each piece, and at the far address it ends up just where you point, never left stranded by the doorway.
My attention gets pulled in ten directions while we move. So who's running the show on the ground?
A lead you'll already have met, named to you up front, owns the job end to end, calls the loading order, and settles where each piece comes to rest as it's unloaded. That leaves you a single point of contact for your questions, rather than a loose bunch where nobody's plainly steering.
Right where the staircase tops out, our pre-war brownstone makes a tight bend. Will the bulky items make it?
Those bends are routine for us throughout the pre-war walk-ups and brownstones. The crew gauges how much room there is, cushions the rail plus the trim, and takes apart whatever can't swing the corner, reassembling each piece once it clears the bend. For the rare item that simply won't go, you hear about it before any lifting starts, never with a body wedged mid-staircase.
How do you keep a nor'easter and a frozen stoop clear of my flooring and my furniture?
Before anything gets carried, runners go down across the floors and along the route the crew walks in both homes, and the moment snow or freezing rain hits, they grit the stoop and tent a tarp over the ramp, fitting each trip to the lulls in the storm. The full load rides under quilts and wrap, so neither the wet nor the chill ever reaches a finish or a fabric.
