The Challenges of Moving to Queens
There are many challenges when moving to Queens. The first one is that streets are very narrow. Some blocks are going to be an extremely tight squeeze for a moving truck to get through. A second issue is that parking on those streets can also be extremely difficult. We notice a lot of driveways are too small to park a moving truck and parking spots are usually the size of a SUV at most. Other challenges include buildings like Ciampa owned buildings that require a Certificate of Insurance (COI) and walk up buildings. A lot of pre-war buildings didn't have elevators so walking furniture up to the 5th floor is common. Finally, street congestion and traffic remains an issue as it's a pretty busy area.
Although all of this is the case, Brotherly Movers is positioned to help. We are ready to tackle any move. We have COI's and experience navigating the streets and parking in Queens. Hit us up for your move!

Best Moving Tip for Moving in Queens
Prepare for chaos and limited parking. There’s rarely anywhere easy to park a truck or van when moving around Queens. The best thing we can advise is to be aware that moving will be a little stressful but together, we can get you through it.
Be prepared to move into a walk up building. Many buildings in Astoria for instance were built without elevators and the rental market can be competitive. If you need help moving up a walk up building, we’re here to help.
If possible notify neighbors before you’e moving so you can potentially reserve more parking space for the moving truck on moving day.
