What’s it like to move in NoMad?

New condos and old townhouses. NoMad, around Madison Square Park, mixes new luxury condo towers with converted loft buildings and a handful of historic townhouses. Condos bring strict move rules and loading docks; townhouses bring stairs and decades of belongings.

ZIP codes we serve: 10001, 10010, 10016.

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

New condos almost always require a COI naming the condominium and managing agent, a reserved service elevator or loading dock, and set weekday hours. Townhouses don’t need paperwork but need a crew sized for the stairs. Reserve your building’s slot and tell us the time.

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 your building’s loading dock, a loading zone, or the nearest open curb on the side street. For large moves with two trucks, we plan both spots in advance.

When is the best time to move in NoMad?

Early on a weekday. Office and restaurant deliveries crowd the side streets by late morning. For large homes, plan a full day and book three to four weeks ahead.

Forty years, three floors, two trucks

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

NoMad townhouse · three floors · two trucks · Angie’s List review, 2016

The challenge: Abe’s family was moving out of their three-story NoMad townhouse, which held more than forty years of belongings, including furniture and nearly a hundred boxes of books. After hearing plenty of moving horror stories, they compared three other top-rated movers before choosing us.

What we did: We gave them a guaranteed price up front, so no surprise bill was waiting at the end. On move day, the crew filled two trucks and worked through all three floors as a coordinated team.

The result: Everything arrived, with one exception: a granite tabletop had a minor crack. The team leader took responsibility on the spot, and the next day Max called the family to make sure they had filed a claim.

In his words: “The team leader took full responsibility and the next day the office manager, Max, called to make sure we put in for a claim! This is how professional these people are.” — Abe F., Angie’s List review

Tip for your move: Ask any mover how they handle damage before you book. Every company says they’re careful; what matters is what happens when something goes wrong.

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 you’re downsizing or between homes. See Storage Solutions.

How much does it cost to move in NoMad?

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 NoMad, the biggest price factors are townhouse stairs, large book and furniture collections, and loading-dock schedules in new condos.

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.

NoMad moving FAQs

What happens if something gets damaged?

We take responsibility. Tell your crew leader or coordinator right away, and we’ll walk you through the claim. Every move includes released-value coverage at $0.60 per pound per item, and full-value protection is available. See Moving Insurance.

Can you handle a whole townhouse in one day?

Often, yes. For large homes we send a bigger crew and, if needed, two trucks. Your video walk-through tells us how much time and equipment the move needs.

How do you move hundreds of books?

In small, sturdy book boxes, so each one stays light enough to carry safely. Tell us how many shelves you have and we’ll bring enough boxes.

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.
