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.

OUR TESTIMONIALS

Our Customer Testimonials

we used U Santini to move from the East Village to new place in Brooklyn. They guys arrived on time and were very careful and efficient with our items. They finished in less time than quoted and were very friendly. I will use them again.
We had an excellent experience with U. Santini moving. Mario, Andres, and Luis were highly efficient on our moving day - they had us out of our old apartment and into our new one in only four hours! They took good care of our furniture and boxes as well. Additionally, David the owner was very helpful in the lead up with answering all of our questions. We loved that they're a smaller local company - you will not get lost in the shuffle! We'd absolutely hire them again.
Devonte and Juan were amazing! They loaded everything into the truck really quickly and carefully wrapped my larger pieces of furniture in blankets. Everything arrived at the new apartment in perfect condition. Some of the friendliest guys I’ve ever met. Would definitely go with U Santini again for the next move!
Choosing movers sucks! Look no further.

Super Mario, Andres, and Rey did a bang up job. They were incredibly fast, zero damage, no issue when we were a little less than perfectly packed and prepared for them. They offered the most competitive rate among several quotes.

Just use these guys, and ask for Mario and the team.
Amazing moving experience. These guys packed, moved and unpacked an entire apartment in 6 hours. Super Mario, Andres, Ivan and Farkas handled everything really professionally and were super transparent and clear about everything upfront.

Highly recommend. 10/10.
We had a great experience with Devante and his crew, Luis, Justice, Ivan, Sterling and Moe. They were quick, processional, flexible and took great care securing and transporting our items. Would absolutely hire them again.
Mario and his team were superb movers! They packed and moved all of our furniture gracefully, quickly, and efficiently. I was shocked at how well they worked and I will definitely use U.Santini again in the future!
This moving company was fantastic!! Highly recommend. They were so professional and kind. Was a seamless move and Mario and his workers were so accommodating in moving furniture around to our liking. Couldn’t recommend them more!
John, Ivan, Michael, and Wolf were an exceptional team: professional, personable, and efficient. Dan and Chris in the office were incredibly on top of things, I felt taken care of from start to finish. This is not my first time using U Santini and it won’t be my last.
These guys are simply the best! Charles was kind, professional, patient and added a keen sense of humor, which we all need when we are moving. The packing and moving crew -- 5 stars to every single one! Devonte, Luis, Silver, Ivan, Mario - the nicest, kindest, most caring crew. This was my second time working with Santini and I would recommend them again in a heartbeat to anyone in the areas they serve! Thank you again!

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.
