The East Village, Lower East Side, Chinatown, Bushwick, Bed-Stuy, Astoria, Sunset Park, Washington Heights — these neighborhoods are 4- and 5-story tenement walk-ups built in the 1880s-1920s for a different scale of living. Stair landings are tight. Doorframes are narrow. Hallways are 32-36 inches wide. Original wooden treads creak under load.
Most national junk removal services price these the same as a ground-floor pickup but quietly tack on a $25-$75 stair fee at the door, or refuse to come above the 3rd floor without a "consultation." Some flat-out won't quote 5th-floor jobs online. That's the gap we built around.
Crew arrives in the 2-hour window you booked. They size up the stair turns on the way up — most NYC tenement staircases turn 180° at each landing, which is the tight spot for a 3-seat sofa. Two crew members carry standard, one upstairs lifting and one downstairs steering. If the couch clears the turn at full size, it goes out as-is. If it doesn't, they pop the cushions, brace the frame, unscrew the legs, and break it into two-piece geometry that clears the turn — 10-15 minutes of work. Hex set, Phillips, slotted, strap kit, moving blankets — standard kit on every truck.

The crew measures the doorway and the stair landings before they start. If the couch can't physically clear the turn, they disassemble in the apartment — strapping the cushions, popping the legs, separating the frame at the bolts. Hex tools, screwdrivers, blankets are standard kit. We get 99% of couches out the door without leaving anything behind.
Yes. Walk-ups are most of the housing stock in the East Village, LES, Bushwick, Bed-Stuy, Astoria, Sunset Park, Washington Heights. This is the work. Crews are conditioned for it and the freight workflow is standard.
No. We bring the tools and do it on-site if the turn requires it. Saves you 90 minutes of YouTube tutorials and a trip to the hardware store.
Tenement halls (Lower East Side, Chinatown, East Village, Williamsburg's tenement blocks) are often 32-36 inches wide. We bring slim moving blankets to protect the walls and doorframes. Sectional sofas come apart at the apartment door if they can't clear the hall straight.
Yes. Book by 4 PM and we'll usually have a hauler at your door the same day. The 5th-floor walk-up doesn't slow scheduling — it's the same crew that handles ground-floor pickups.
Free, same-day. We submit the Certificate of Insurance directly to your managing agent or super. Most walk-ups don't require COIs, but if yours does (some prewar landmark buildings, some institutional landlords), add the requirements at booking and we handle it.
