Brooklyn movers for everything you want to keep

You have made a home out of the place. We can help you take it with you, whether that means packing a whole household, moving out of a shared apartment or carrying the furniture you cannot manage alone.

Step 1 of 4: Move

Step 1: Move

First, the move itself

Start with the pickup and destination.

Street address is best, but a neighborhood works.

Even just the borough is fine if you're not sure yet.

Moving your home in Brooklyn

Before the move, there are decisions about what fits, what stays and which box holds the things you will need first. Keepsake can help with the packing and moving while you work through the rest.

A free video or in-person survey gives us a proper look at the home. Show us anything you want us to review individually, from a piano or antique cabinet to the sofa that was a difficult fit on its way in.

You can be staying in Brooklyn, moving into Manhattan or heading across to Queens. We move between all five boroughs and can also discuss a move out of New York.

Packing and preparation

Hand over the packing you do not want to do

The kitchen is a fair choice. So is the entire home. We can pack selected rooms or everything, normally during the moving-day visit. Furniture is wrapped and padded, and boxes are labelled for where they belong.

If the move involves artwork, antiques or a piano, mention it during the survey so we can discuss those pieces. We can also arrange storage when the old and new addresses do not quite line up on the calendar.

Questions about moving in Brooklyn

How do I get a quote for a Brooklyn move?

Tell us where you are moving and the help you want. We offer a free video or in-person survey, then prepare a guaranteed flat quote covering the agreed belongings, access and services.

Can you move from a brownstone or walk-up?

Yes. Let us see the stairs and any furniture you are concerned about during the survey. Include access at the destination too.

Do you handle the building’s COI?

Yes. Send the management contact and its written requirements. We coordinate directly on the certificate of insurance.

Can you help me move out of a shared apartment?

Yes. A small move can cover your furniture and belongings without including the rest of the household.

Can you pack a full house?

Yes. Whole-home packing is available. It normally happens on moving day, or on day one when a larger job is booked as a two-day move.

Leaving New York

Heading to another state?

Tell us a little about the move and how to reach you. We’ll get in touch within one business day to talk through the route, the dates and what’s coming with you.
