Apartment Moving

Short Banner Form (Don't Track This)

Moving between apartments in New York City is a specialized skill. From navigating narrow pre-war stairwells to securing parking on a congested street in Bushwick, apartment moving requires a team that understands the local landscape. U.Santini Moving & Storage has spent nearly a century mastering the logistical hurdles of the five boroughs, ensuring your transition to a new home is handled with precision.

As dedicated apartment movers in Brooklyn, we recognize that every building has its own set of rules. We are prepared to meet your property management’s specific requirements, providing the professional documentation and structural protection necessary for a successful move.

Navigating the Challenges of Brooklyn Apartment Moves

Whether you are relocating to a luxury high-rise in Downtown Brooklyn or a fourth-floor walk-up in Bed-Stuy, our crews are trained to handle the physical demands of the city. We focus on efficiency and property protection at every stage.

  • Certificate of Insurance (COI) Management: Most Brooklyn buildings require a COI before a moving truck even pulls up. We handle the paperwork quickly to ensure your building’s requirements are met well in advance.
  • Specialized Walk-Up Expertise: Carrying heavy furniture up multiple flights of narrow stairs is a core part of our service. Our teams use professional techniques to protect both your belongings and the building’s original woodwork or plaster walls.
  • Furniture Disassembly and Reassembly: Modern furniture doesn’t always fit through historic Brooklyn doorways. Our apartment movers can expertly disassemble bed frames, desks, and shelving units at your current apartment and reassemble them at your new one.
  • Hoisting Services: For those unique pieces that won’t fit through the door or up the stairs, we offer professional hoisting to move items through windows or balconies safely.

Many people worry about the “NYC tax” when hiring movers. At U.Santini, we believe in straightforward, competitive pricing. Whether you are moving a studio or a three-bedroom duplex, we provide clear estimates that reflect the actual labor involved, including stair carries and travel time.

David Menchini himself came to my previous apartment twice prior to the move. David takes a personalized approach to each of his clients and makes each of us feel like we’re all family.

Pre Move Out:
David himself dropped off all moving materials to my door. My organizer, her assistant and I immediately began packing up whatever wasn’t already packed.

Moving Day:
Devonte (foreman) & the 3 other gentlemen were as friendly as they were fast, very careful and efficient! They even managed to make me (human ball of anxiety!) laugh out loud several times. They removed items from the walls and disassembled several items for me.

When we all arrived at my new apartment, these gentlemen took the time to move all furniture around until each piece was precisely in place.

Note:I have 3 herniated discs in my back after a 20 year career as a professional dancer, so I am limited in what I can lift, push, etc.

If I could give 10 stars, I would! Thank you again, David, Devonte and crew!!!
Mario, Andrés and Ivan were a great team! They moved everything being especially cautious going up the stairs. They took care with my things and gave helpful advice.
I've had the U Santini team move me 3 times over the last 6 years. They're amazing - kind, thoughtful, professional. They're THE BEST. Highly recommend.
Devonte, Ivan and Kevin provided outstanding customer service and made our moving process seamless and stress free. I highly recommend Santini and won’t be using anyone else in future!
Amazing moving company, based locally in Brooklyn! They were extremely accommodating, showed up on time, efficiently moved all of my belongings without breaking anything, and my overall cost ended up being lower than the estimated cost since they were so quick with moving everything. Highly recommend! Shout out Devonte and Luis you guys were lovely.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are open from Monday to Friday, 7:30 AM–5 PM, but feel free to contact us through our contact form anytime. We’ll get back to you ASAP.

Absolutely! We offer various types of insurance to protect your belongings, including a full replacement option. The cost depends on how much your things are worth and the deductible you choose.

It’s a good idea to book your moving company at least 8 weeks before your move. If you’re moving during the holidays or in the summer, it’s best to schedule it 12 weeks ahead. But if your move is between September and May, you can often book movers with just 2 weeks’ notice. The key is to secure your moving crew as soon as you have all the details about your move.

Weekdays, particularly Tuesday or Wednesday, are often the best days to schedule your move. These days typically see lower demand for moving services, meaning you might secure better rates and more flexible time slots. Additionally, traffic tends to be lighter during weekdays compared to weekends, which can help reduce travel time and stress. U.Santini is open weekdays from 7:30 am to 5 pm to best serve you.
