What’s it like to move in Inwood?

Pre-war buildings next to the park. Inwood, at Manhattan’s northern tip, is mostly large pre-war elevator buildings and co-ops, many with roomy apartments, near Inwood Hill Park and Isham Park. Moves here often head north to the Bronx or Westchester, or downtown into Manhattan.

ZIP code we serve: 10034.

What should I know about my building’s move rules?

Co-ops usually require a COI naming the corporation and managing agent, plus a reserved elevator and weekday move hours. Send us the management company’s requirements and we’ll work with them directly. Reserve your elevator time and tell us.

Where will the moving truck park?

As close to your entrance as the street allows. NYC doesn’t issue parking permits for moving trucks, so our crew scouts your block before move day and uses the nearest legal spot or open curb, away from the busy Broadway and Dyckman Street traffic. You’ll never be asked to save a spot.

When is the best time to move in Inwood?

Mid-month on a weekday. Co-ops here usually allow weekday moves, and end-of-month dates fill first. For moves north to Westchester or the Bronx, an early start beats the highway traffic.

A 1-bedroom co-op move, loaded in about an hour

We’ve been moving New Yorkers since 1999. Here’s one of the moves we’re proud of.

Inwood · 1-bedroom co-op · Angie’s List review, 2015

The challenge: Angela’s co-op required a Certificate of Insurance before the move could happen, her move date changed partway through planning, and she wasn’t sure how many movers she needed. She also planned to leave some furniture on the curb, without knowing which pieces the city would fine her for.

What we did: Maxwell walked her through the inventory to choose the right crew size, adjusted to the new date, and worked directly with her co-op management to provide the COI. On move day, the crew re-taped the boxes she’d packed herself so they’d hold, and advised her on which furniture could legally be left on the street and which couldn’t.

The result: Her 1-bedroom was loaded in about an hour, everything arrived undamaged, and the whole move finished faster than expected.

In her words: “They even re-taped some of the boxes we packed ourselves to make sure they would be secure… Everything arrived un-damaged and was quickly un-loaded into our new place.” — Angela O., Angie’s List review

Tip for your move: Before leaving furniture on the curb, check the city’s rules for that item. Some pieces need a special pickup appointment, and leaving them out without one can mean a fine. Or ask your mover about furniture disposal.

What’s included in every move?

One flat price covers the full job: every piece of furniture wrapped in moving blankets and stretch wrap, floors and doorways protected, beds and tables taken apart and put back together, and your building’s COI at no charge.

Do you offer packing, piano moving and storage?

Yes, and each is included in the same flat price when you add it.

• Packing: full, partial or just the fragile items. See Packing Services.
• Fine art, antiques and pianos: custom padding, crating and the right equipment. See Delicate Items.
• Storage: overnight on the truck, or climate-controlled storage at $0.75 per cubic foot per month when your new place isn’t ready. See Storage Solutions.

How much does it cost to move in Inwood?

One flat price, confirmed after your video walk-through, and that’s what you pay. No hourly meter, no fuel surcharge, no move-day surprises.

In Inwood, the biggest price factors are apartment size and moves out of Manhattan to Westchester or the Bronx, which are quoted as one flat price by distance.

Why choose a boutique mover?

We cap our schedule at 15 moves a day and never overbook, so your crew is booked for your move alone. One coordinator handles your move from the first call to the last box, our crew members average more than 20 years with the company, and you get an arrival window plus a call about 30 minutes before the crew arrives.

Inwood moving FAQs

How many movers do I need?

It depends on your inventory, stairs and timing. Most 1-bedrooms need two movers; larger homes or tight building windows need more. We’ll recommend the right crew after your video walk-through.

Can I leave furniture on the curb?

Sometimes. NYC has specific rules for bulk items, and some need a scheduled pickup. Ask us during your walk-through, or let our Furniture Disposal service take it away.

Do you move from Inwood to Westchester or the Bronx?

Yes, often. We’re based in the north Bronx, just minutes away, and we move Inwood households throughout Westchester and the five boroughs.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancel 72 or more hours before move day for a full deposit refund. Rescheduling is free with 48 hours’ notice, subject to availability.
