The pre-war apartment buildings along Broadway, Riverside, and Claremont in the 110s through 120s fill with students, grad students, and faculty, so the busiest stretch is end-of-semester and lease-end move-outs — full apartments emptied and broom-ready before the next tenant. We price by volume, the rate is flat across every floor and building, and there's no walk-up or elevator surcharge.
The neighborhood's other signature cleanout is the academic estate: a longtime faculty member's apartment that holds not just furniture but thousands of books and decades of papers. Those add up fast, but they're hauled at the same flat rate — we price the full volume by the truckload, set aside anything the family or the university is keeping, and clear the rest in one visit. Many of the buildings are walk-ups, where we carry it all down and disassemble wide pieces in the stairwell.
You get before-and-after photos when the apartment's empty, and same-day service when the move date is tight.

"End of my PhD, lease up, fifth-floor walk-up off Broadway. They cleared the whole apartment — including more books than I want to admit — down the stairs, flat price, no stair fee. Booked it around my move-out date."
"My father was Columbia faculty for 40 years — his apartment was wall-to-wall books and papers. They priced the whole volume up front, set aside what the department wanted, and cleared the rest in one visit. Respectful throughout."
"Quoted off photos, cleared my Claremont Ave one-bedroom the same day. Exactly the price, no surprises. Perfect for a quick faculty move-out."
