NYC moving questions
What to confirm before you book
The practical details that protect your building access, schedule, and final price.
Is NYC Moving Pros a moving company?
No. NYC Moving Pros is a moving referral and planning service. We collect the details of your move and make one introduction to a moving partner instead of distributing your information to a list of companies.
What should an NYC moving quote include?
Ask for a written estimate that identifies the inventory, crew and truck assumptions, stairs or elevator access, travel time, packing materials, tolls, storage, and any possible access fees. Confirm whether the price is binding or can change.
Do I need a certificate of insurance for an NYC move?
Many managed, doorman, elevator, and commercial buildings require a certificate of insurance, often called a COI. Ask both buildings for their exact certificate holder, additional-insured wording, coverage limits, submission method, and deadline before move day.
How do I verify an NYC mover?
Ask for the mover's legal name and license number, then verify it with the appropriate regulator. For moves within New York, check the New York State Department of Transportation. Interstate carriers should also have federal operating authority that can be checked with FMCSA.
What details help make a moving estimate accurate?
Provide both addresses, apartment size, a realistic inventory, move date, walk-up floors, elevator access, long carries, parking or loading restrictions, fragile or oversized items, packing needs, and each building's move rules.
