We know this area like the back of our hand

We are not a national chain dispatching crews from three states away. We are based in Palenville, in the Town of Catskill, and we have been moving families and businesses across the Hudson Valley since 2023.

We know the older homes in Hudson with the narrow staircases and the tricky doorframes. We know the apartment buildings in Kingston and Saugerties. We know the long winding driveways in Woodstock, and the parking in busy town centres. We have seen it and we have moved through it.

When you hire us you are hiring a crew that has done your move before. We know the fastest routes, the quirks of the area, and what a job like yours actually takes. That is what local means, and it is why our drive time is figured from our own shop rather than guessed at.

Every piece pad-wrapped and shrink-wrapped before it moves.

Disassembly & reassembly

We break it down and put it back together. Just show us what needs to come apart.

Efficient loading & unloading

We load strategically, not randomly, so everything rides safe and comes off fast.

One price, agreed upfront, that covers everything.

Reliable arrival & communication

You'll know exactly when we're arriving. No waiting around wondering where we are.

Full or partial packing with all materials included. Ask when you book.

How we protect your move

A closer look at how we prepare furniture for the move.

Choose an item
  1. The dresser before any protection goes on.
  2. Padded moving blankets go around the dresser first.
  3. Shrink wrap over the blankets holds them in place during handling.
  4. With the protection secured, the dresser is ready for the next stage of the move.

Protection varies by item and material.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a local move?

Moves within the Hudson Valley: Greene, Ulster, Columbia, Dutchess, and Albany counties. If you're not sure whether your move counts, reach out and we'll tell you straight.

Do you move apartments as well as houses?

Yes. Apartments, houses, and businesses. Stairs, elevators, and walk-ups are all part of the job.

How is pricing structured?

We offer both flat-rate and hourly pricing, agreed up front. Padding, shrink wrap, workers' comp, and cargo coverage are already in the number.

How is my furniture protected?

Every piece gets pad-wrapped and shrink-wrapped before it moves. Floors and doorways get protection where the path calls for it.

Can you move things into or out of a storage unit?

Yes. Storage units are part of many of our moves, whether it's a stop along the way or the whole job.

What if something gets damaged?

It almost never happens, and when it does we fix it or pay for it. Tell us right away and we'll make it right.

Do you move on weekends?

Yes. We schedule moves whenever your timeline calls for it, weekends included.

Can you take a last-minute move?

Often, yes. Call or text 518-294-9337 and we'll give you a straight answer on availability.
