Staten Island Movers — Local Moves, Coordinated Start to Finish
Elevator reservations in the St. George high-rises by the Ferry, raised ranches on the North Shore, cul-de-sac houses down in Tottenville, and a Verrazzano crossing on half the moves off the island — Staten Island moves run on bridge routing and building rules, and we coordinate every one of them. Home Services & Commercial Coordination. WE MOVE. WE HAUL. WE CLEAN. WE COORDINATE IT ALL.
Staten Island moving prices: hourly by crew size
Local moves on Staten Island 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 Staten Island move: 1–3 bedrooms, raised ranches, and elevator buildings. One mover wraps and stages while two carry, so a split-level staircase or a St. George elevator cycle never stalls.
2 movers + truck
starting at $149/hr (4-hour minimum $596)
Studios and small 1-bedrooms in the St. George and North Shore 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)
Todt Hill and South Shore houses, townhouse communities in Arden Heights and Annadale, 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 Staten Island homes. In a raised ranch, one mover staging and wrapping while two carry keeps the split-level stairs moving; in a St. George elevator building, 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 Staten Island move totals
Hourly pricing means your total is the rate times the hours the move honestly takes. Access is the biggest swing factor on Staten Island — the same furniture takes measurably longer up the split entries of a raised ranch than it does with a reserved service elevator in St. George, and a move that crosses the Verrazzano carries the bridge drive in its hours:
- Studio / 1 bedroom (St. George elevator building): about 4–5 hours with 2–3 movers.
- 1–2 bedroom raised ranch or split-level: about 5–7 hours with 3 movers.
- 2–3 bedroom single-family house (North or South Shore): about 5–7 hours with 3 movers.
- Full house / townhouse community (Tottenville, Arden Heights): 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 and bridge situation factored in — the 4-hour minimum is never dressed up as the price. Our moving checklist walks through how to get ready.
Bridges, high-rises, and two shores — the Staten Island realities
Staten Island is the one borough every move is planned around water. Leaving the island toward Brooklyn or Long Island means the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge — a tolled crossing with truck routing and traffic that get factored into the day before the truck rolls, not discovered on it. Heading the other way, moves between Staten Island and New Jersey run over the Outerbridge Crossing, the Goethals Bridge, or the Bayonne Bridge; tell us at booking if your move crosses state lines and the whole route is coordinated and priced up front. On the island itself, the work splits by shore. Around St. George and the Ferry district on the North Shore it is condo and co-op high-rises, where management wants a Certificate of Insurance on file and the service elevator reserved before a crew can work. Across the North and South Shores it is single-family homes and raised ranches — split entries, interior stairs, and garage-and-basement inventory. Down in Tottenville and Great Kills, and in the townhouse communities of Arden Heights and Annadale, it is driveways and cul-de-sacs: easy truck access, but association rules and parking placement get sorted at booking. All of it is the same hourly rate; what changes is the hours, and surfacing the building and bridge details 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 St. George to Tottenville or across the Verrazzano to Brooklyn. 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 — Staten Island runs through Brooklyn and the Verrazzano from our home turf.

Every payment runs through us, and the carrier never collects from you.
Staten Island moving FAQs
How much do movers cost on Staten Island?
Local Staten Island 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 Staten Island 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 stairs in a Staten Island raised ranch or split-level 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 — the split entry of a raised ranch in Great Kills or a multi-level house on Todt Hill honestly takes longer than a ground-floor condo near St. George. Tell us the layout when you book and we size the crew so the hours stay as short as possible.
Does my Staten Island building need a COI or an elevator reservation?
The high-rises and managed condo and co-op buildings around St. George and the Ferry district often do: management wants the mover’s Certificate of Insurance on file and the service elevator reserved before a crew can work, sometimes inside a set move window. 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 Staten Island 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 Staten Island 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.
