Bronx Movers — Local Moves, Coordinated Start to Finish
Fifth-floor walk-ups in Mott Haven, co-op boards on the Grand Concourse, elevator reservations in Co-op City, driveway houses in Riverdale — Bronx moves run on building rules and block-by-block access, and we coordinate every one of them. Home Services & Commercial Coordination. WE MOVE. WE HAUL. WE CLEAN. WE COORDINATE IT ALL.
Bronx moving prices: hourly by crew size
Local moves in the Bronx are priced hourly — one rate the whole job, with the truck, pads, dollies, tools, and full furniture wrapping included as standard. Every piece gets padded and protected before it is carried, on every move. These are starting prices for a standard inventory; your final price is confirmed after an inventory review, and a 5% admin fee applies to every job.
3 movers + truck — recommended
starting at $199/hr (4-hour minimum $796)
The crew we lead with for almost every Bronx move: 1–3 bedrooms, walk-ups, and co-op buildings. One mover wraps and stages while two carry, so a staircase relay or a Co-op City elevator cycle never stalls.
2 movers + truck
starting at $149/hr (4-hour minimum $596)
Studios and small 1-bedrooms in elevator buildings, and load-only jobs where everything is already packed, wrapped, and staged at the door.
4 movers + truck
starting at $249/hr (4-hour minimum $996)
Riverdale and Throggs Neck houses, heavy furniture, and any move that has to finish inside a reserved elevator window or a strict building time slot.
We lead with the 3-mover crew for most Bronx homes. In a walk-up, one mover staging and wrapping while two carry keeps the staircase moving; in a big elevator complex, it keeps the car cycling instead of sitting loaded. The 2-mover crew is the exception — a genuinely small or load-only job — not the default. For the full rate card and how a crew day runs, see our local moving service page and our NYC movers cost guide.
What a typical Bronx move totals
Hourly pricing means your total is the rate times the hours the move honestly takes. Building access is the biggest swing factor in the Bronx — the same furniture takes measurably longer up five flights in a Mott Haven walk-up than it does with a reserved service elevator in Co-op City:
- Studio / 1 bedroom (elevator building): about 4–5 hours with 2–3 movers.
- 1–2 bedroom walk-up: about 5–7 hours with 3 movers.
- 2–3 bedroom co-op or apartment (incl. Co-op City): about 5–7 hours with 3 movers.
- Full house / heavy inventory (Riverdale, Throggs Neck): about 8–12 hours with 4 movers.
So a 2-bedroom move at 6 hours with 3 movers is $1,194, plus the 5% admin fee — about $1,254 all-in. A 25% deposit holds your date, and the balance reflects the actual hours worked, collected before unloading. When we quote you, we quote the expected total up front with the building situation factored in — the 4-hour minimum is never dressed up as the price. Our moving checklist walks through how to get ready.
Walk-ups, co-op boards, and Co-op City — the Bronx realities
The Bronx holds at least four different moving jobs. In the South Bronx — Mott Haven, Hunts Point, Longwood — it is pre-war walk-ups: tight stair turns, no elevator, and curb space that has to be planned around alternate-side parking so the truck sits close and legal. Along the Grand Concourse and Pelham Parkway it is elevator co-ops, where the board or management office wants a Certificate of Insurance on file and a move window booked before a crew sets foot in the lobby. Co-op City is its own operation entirely — one of the largest cooperative complexes in the world, with its own management paperwork, service-elevator reservations, and long lobby carries that have to be sequenced so the elevator keeps cycling. And in Riverdale, Fieldston, Throggs Neck, and out on City Island, it is houses: driveways and steep streets up west, narrow lanes and a single bridge in and out of City Island, where truck size and load order get planned before the truck ever rolls. All of it is the same hourly rate; what changes is the hours, and surfacing the building rules at booking is what keeps the day smooth.
The clock itself is simple and disclosed before you book: it starts when the crew arrives and runs through wrapping, loading, the drive to your new home, unloading, and placement — driving time counts, whether that drive is Mott Haven to Parkchester or the Bronx out to Nassau County. After the 4-hour minimum, time bills in full-hour increments. If the crew packs for you, the labor runs on the same hourly clock — no second rate — and boxes and materials are one flat package by home size, starting at $150 for a studio.

One honest note: Movers & Cleanout Crew is a licensed moving broker and coordinator based in Farmingdale, Long Island — the Bronx is a straight run down the Cross Bronx and the Hutch from our home turf. We do not have a Bronx storefront: we set your price, hold your date, handle the building paperwork, and dispatch a licensed, insured carrier from our network to do the physical move. Every payment runs through us, and the carrier never collects from you.
Bronx moving FAQs
How much do movers cost in the Bronx?
Local Bronx moves are priced hourly by crew size: 2 movers starting at $149/hr, 3 movers starting at $199/hr, and 4 movers starting at $249/hr, each with a truck and a 4-hour minimum. Most Bronx apartments and houses move with the 3-mover crew we recommend — a typical 2-bedroom runs 5–7 hours, so most households land around $1,000–$1,400 before the 5% admin fee. Every price is a starting price for a standard inventory; your final price is confirmed after an inventory review, before anything beyond your deposit is charged.
Do walk-up stairs in the Bronx cost extra?
No. There is no stairs fee and no per-item heavy fee on a local hourly move. Stairs take time, and time is what the clock measures — a fifth-floor walk-up in Mott Haven honestly takes longer than an elevator building on the Grand Concourse. Tell us the floor and elevator situation when you book and we size the crew so the hours stay as short as possible.
Does my Bronx building need a COI or an elevator reservation?
Many do. Co-op City’s management requires the mover’s insurance paperwork on file and the service elevator reserved before a crew can work, and Grand Concourse co-ops and managed buildings across the borough run the same kind of rules — a Certificate of Insurance, a set move window, sometimes board or management approval. Tell us both buildings’ requirements when you book — the one you are leaving and the one you are entering — and the paperwork and reservation are arranged before moving day so nobody is turned away at the door.
Who actually performs my Bronx move?
Movers & Cleanout Crew Inc is a licensed moving broker and coordinator based on Long Island: we set your price, hold your date, and collect your payment. The physical work is performed by a licensed, insured carrier from our network — verified before dispatch, with its insurance certificate on file before your address is ever released. The carrier never collects money from you; every payment runs through us.
How does the deposit work on a Bronx move?
A deposit of 25% of the expected total holds your date — and it can be split if you need. Your final bill is your actual hours times your crew rate, plus any packing materials package and the 5% admin fee, minus the deposit you already paid. The balance is collected on move day, before unloading. After the 4-hour minimum, time bills in full-hour increments.
