Service across 10003 and 10009 — the 5-6 story tenement walk-ups that dominate Avenues A, B, C, and D; the East 4th-14th Street numbered blocks; the Tompkins Square Park-adjacent buildings; the pre-war elevator co-ops along Second Avenue. Tenement-staircase specialists.
Customer Reviews
“Luis and Hector were amazing! They got rid of two large couches, a mattress, and a bedframe from my Brooklyn brownstone — with 3 flights of steps in the middle of July — in under an hour. Extremely affordable as well; I got another quote for literally double the price.”
“The team arrived before the end of the window and got my couch out without any issues. Thank you!”
“Dwayne was awesome. Great communication, on time, quickly disassembled bed frame, and moved out the bed and mattress. I would definitely recommend and use again.”
Roughly 85% of East Village residential addresses are 5-6 story pre-war tenement walk-ups. These were built between 1880 and 1910 for working-class immigrant housing, originally with shared bathrooms in the hall, narrow railroad layouts where rooms run in a line, and L-turn original staircases that make modern furniture's existence challenging. Today the apartments have been renovated, the bathrooms are private, the railroads have been chopped into one- and two-bedrooms — but the staircases haven't gotten any wider.
The other 15% of the neighborhood splits between pre-war elevator co-ops along Second Avenue (the older fire-resistant masonry buildings, which DO have working elevators and run on standard NYC co-op protocols) and a small layer of newer construction near the East Village's edges. Plus the NYCHA complexes (Campos Plaza, Lower East Side I and II nearby) that share the neighborhood's south and east edges.
For our crews, the East Village job is the staircase. Pricing is flat across all NYC boroughs regardless of floor — your 5th-floor walk-up pickup costs the same as a ground-floor pickup. We just bring the disassembly kit and accept that more time on stairs means a slower job, not a more expensive one.

Per-item base prices, same across all NYC boroughs and all floors. Your 5th-floor walk-up pickup costs the same as a ground-floor one. $75 minimum order. Full-cleanout truck-fill pricing also available — from $325 for 1/4 of a 16-cubic-yard truck up to $985 for a full truck.
Every pickup crew working the East Village arrives with the disassembly kit as standard equipment: furniture straps, moving blankets, screwdrivers, allen sets, hex tools, mattress bags. Most sectionals come apart in the apartment because they won't make the L-turn out of a tenement staircase. IKEA wardrobes flat-pack. Mattresses bag at the apartment. Disassembled pieces fit any tenement staircase we've encountered.
The narrow east-west tenement blocks (East 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th) are tight for truck staging — we use the avenues (especially A, B, D) and walk loads to the apartment door. Avenue C and Bowery have lighter residential traffic but commercial use; we use them too when convenient.
Standard East Village problem — original tenement staircases are narrow and L-turned. Our crews carry the full disassembly kit (straps, blankets, screwdrivers, allen sets, hex tools) and break sectionals apart in the apartment before the carry. The disassembled pieces fit any tenement staircase we've encountered.
No. Pricing is flat regardless of floor and same across all NYC boroughs. Your queen mattress costs $139 whether you're in a 5th-floor walk-up on East 7th Street or a ground-floor apartment. The East Village's building stock means we move a lot of furniture down a lot of stairs every week — that's built into the standard price, not a surcharge.
No — window AC units contain refrigerants regulated under EPA Section 608. DSNY won't take them as bulk waste and they require certified disposal at a regulated facility. We handle the refrigerant recovery as part of the standard $117 window AC pickup price — no separate fee.
Yes. East Village bar and restaurant closures are routine — refrigeration with refrigerant recovery, prep tables, bar stools, broken tap systems, decommissioned POS gear. We provide a written disposal manifest for your landlord if the lease requires it. Pricing is per-item plus truck-fill bulk rate for high-volume jobs.
No. Pricing is flat regardless of floor across all NYC boroughs. Your 5th-floor walk-up pickup on East 9th Street costs the same as a ground-floor pickup. The East Village is dense with 5-6 story tenement walk-ups; we built the pricing to be flat so the neighborhood isn't penalized for its building stock.
Flat-rate pricing — a queen mattress is $139, a couch $170, a refrigerator $221, a washer or dryer $172 each. $75 minimum order. Same prices across all NYC boroughs and all floors. Full-cleanout truck-fill pricing also available, $325 (1/4) to $985 (full 16-cubic-yard truck).
Window AC units contain refrigerants that require EPA Section 608-compliant recovery — they can't be left at the curb. We handle that recovery as part of the standard $117 window AC unit price. No separate fee.
Avenues A and B have residential side-street character and are generally workable for truck staging during weekday mid-day. Avenues C and D have lighter traffic. The east-west tenement blocks (East 4th through East 14th) are narrow and tight; we use the avenues for truck staging and walk loads to the apartment door. Bowery and Houston are commercial-busy; we don't stage there.
"5th-floor walk-up on East 7th — end of lease, my couch was clearly never making it down the tenement staircase intact. They broke it apart in the apartment, blanket-wrapped the pieces, and were gone in an hour. Same price as a ground-floor pickup would have been."
"3-bedroom on Avenue B breaking up at end of lease. Three mattresses, two IKEA wardrobes, broken bookshelves, full kitchen pile. They came at 9 AM, kept the truck on the avenue while walking loads to the building, gone by noon. Exact quote, no surprises."
"Three window AC units I'd been meaning to replace for years. They came up to the 4th floor, took all three with the refrigerant recovery, gave me a receipt. Total was less than what the local hauler quoted just for one."
