NYC Moving Pros
The part of moving everyone underestimates? Handled.
1BR full pack, materials included: typically $350–$700
Packing is where DIY moves fall apart: it takes three times longer than planned, the good glasses break, and move-day starts with a half-packed kitchen. A professional two-person crew packs a full 1-bedroom in 3–4 hours, materials included, labeled by room. On the other end, unpacking service means beds assembled, kitchen shelved, and boxes gone the same day — you sleep in a home, not a warehouse.
Full, partial, or fragile-only
Whole apartment, just the kitchen, or only the breakables and art. You choose the scope; the quote reflects exactly that — packing paper, boxes, and tape included.
Packed to survive an NYC move
Dish barrels for kitchens, wardrobe boxes for closets, double-walled cartons for books. Stairwell-and-truck-proof packing is a different discipline than 'putting things in boxes.'
Unpacking that actually finishes the job
Boxes emptied, essentials placed, packing debris hauled away the same day. The difference between moved-in and living-out-of-boxes-until-March.
Common questions
How much does packing service cost in NYC?
A studio typically runs $250–$450, a 1-bedroom $350–$700, a 2-bedroom $600–$1,100 — materials included. Fragile-only or kitchen-only packing runs less. Bundled with a move, packing is quoted as one flat line item.
How far in advance does packing happen?
Usually the day before the move for a full pack, or the morning of for studios and partial packs. Boxes you want to live out of until move day are packed last.
Do I have to use your moving crew to book packing?
No — packing-only jobs are welcome. But bundling packing with the move is cheaper than booking the two separately, and one crew handling both means nobody blames someone else's packing.
