Uniondale moving prices: hourly by crew size

Local moves in Uniondale 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 Uniondale move: capes and ranches off Jerusalem Avenue and Uniondale Avenue where the bedrooms, the basement, and the garage all feed the truck. One mover wraps and stages while two carry, so the day moves at a steady pace instead of stacking up at the stairs.

2 movers + truck

starting at $149/hr (4-hour minimum $596)

Hofstra-area student and faculty moves, small apartments, senior units, 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)

Expanded homes, multi-address family splits where pieces go to two or three households, and same-day house-plus-storage runs that need to finish in one push.

We lead with the 3-mover crew for most Uniondale homes. One mover staging and wrapping while two carry keeps a cape or ranch emptying steadily — and on a downsizing move, that third pair of hands is what lets family pieces get sorted to different addresses without doubling the day. The 2-mover crew is the exception — a genuinely small or load-only job — not the default. For the full rate card, see our local moving service page, and if this move is a downsizing, our senior moving guide lays out how families usually split the work.

What a typical Uniondale move totals

Hourly pricing means your total is the rate times the hours the move honestly takes. Uniondale runs the full range in a few square miles: a one-bedroom Hofstra-area apartment on a Saturday between semesters, and a four-bedroom expanded cape that has held the same family — and everything they own — for forty years:

  • Hofstra student / faculty apartment: about 4–5 hours with 2–3 movers.
  • Cape or ranch (unexpanded): about 5–6 hours with 3 movers.
  • Expanded cape, split-level, or colonial (3–4 bedrooms): about 6–8 hours with 3 movers.
  • Full house with basement, garage + shed: about 8–11 hours with 4 movers.

So an expanded cape 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 real inventory factored in — the 4-hour minimum is never dressed up as the price. Our moving checklist walks through how to get ready.

Semester turns, event traffic, and quiet cape streets — the Uniondale realities

Three things shape a Uniondale moving day. First, Hofstra University: when semesters turn over, the streets around campus fill with students moving between dorms, off-campus houses, and first apartments — dates cluster hard in May, August, and January, and booking early in those windows matters more here than almost anywhere else in Nassau. Second, the Nassau Hub: Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum event days flood Hempstead Turnpike and Charles Lindbergh Boulevard, and Mitchell Field and the RXR Plaza office parks keep those same roads busy on weekdays. We time starts and route the truck with the Meadowbrook Parkway in mind so the drive leg stays a drive leg. Office and workplace relocations in the Mitchell Field corridor are priced flat and run through a coordinator — see our commercial moving page for how those are handled. Third, the neighborhoods themselves: capes and ranches off Jerusalem Avenue and Uniondale Avenue, many held by the same families for decades, with the full attics and basements that come with that — and near the A. Holly Patterson community, a steady rhythm of senior moves and family downsizes where the pace is set by the family, not the clock.

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. 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.

Uniondale moving FAQs

How much do movers cost in Uniondale?

Local Uniondale 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 Uniondale houses move with the 3-mover crew we recommend — a typical cape or ranch 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 you handle Hofstra student and faculty moves?

Yes — the blocks around Hofstra University are some of our most regular Uniondale work. At semester turns we run dorm-to-apartment moves, students shifting between off-campus houses on the streets off Hempstead Turnpike, and faculty relocating in or out of the area. Those jobs are usually smaller and faster than a full house, so tell us up front that it is a student or faculty move and we will size the crew to the actual load instead of the full-house default.

Can you schedule around Nassau Coliseum event days?

Yes, and it is worth planning for. On event days at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Hempstead Turnpike and Charles Lindbergh Boulevard back up hard around the Nassau Hub, and a truck caught in that traffic is on the clock. We check the Coliseum calendar when we set your date, start loads early on event days, and route through Meadowbrook Parkway access points that keep the truck moving instead of parked in event traffic.

Who actually performs my Uniondale 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 Uniondale 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.
