Moving Estimate

Do you think that in four hours I can get two men to move the following?

-- queen-sized bed
-- coffee table
-- three floor-to-ceiling bookshelves
-- kitchen table
-- four chairs for the table
-- recliner
-- 42 inch TV
-- pedestal table (really tiny)
-- 25-30 boxes


I'm moving from a two-story walkup in Long Beach (I'm on the top floor) to a house in East Rockaway. It takes about 15 minutes to get from LB to the house.

What do you think? Please guess.

Re: Moving Estimate

I paid $1400 for about the same amount of stuff but not a walk up

call moveco- they are really good and fair

I don't have the number with me- but you could google it or do a serach on here

I didn't want to risk moving the TV myself- they did a great job!

Re: Moving Estimate

I would rent a truck and do it yourself...

The biggest truck is 39.99.

$1400! How long did that take for them to do?

Re: Moving Estimate

8 hours

they had to drive the back way from long beach to bayside- which took a while- they stop for lunch- but you don't pay for that

I used Leonetti Brothers for my move from Hoboken to Manhasset. I was on the 3rd story of a walk-up and my condo was a duplex so there was another set of stairs inside. I had a queen size bed, headboard, oversized dresser, mirror desk, oversized nightstands, pull out sofa, chair, coffee table, tv stand, 19" tv, end table, 3 pictures, pub table and chairs, small server and mirror. It came to about $1400 as well, but the ride from NJ to Manhasset added on another hour, as well as an hour for them just to get to NJ.
