I’m Rafael Solano, owner of RVS Moving & Delivery Service, and Astoria keeps my crew busy — it’s young-renter country, full of walk-up brownstones and no-elevator buildings where the fifth-floor carry is just part of the job. Parking off Ditmars and 30th Avenue is brutal, so dispatcher Kevin Ng scouts a spot before the truck ever leaves Flushing.

Walk-ups are our bread and butter. A fifth-floor apartment with a narrow prewar staircase and no elevator gets a third mover so nobody’s gassed halfway through, and Hector paces the carry to keep the day tight. Renters here move fast and on short notice, and we’re built to turn a same-week booking around clean.

  • Walk-up brownstones with no-elevator carries up to the fifth floor
  • Young renters on short timelines who need a fast, same-week turnaround
  • Tight parking off Ditmars and 30th Ave we scout and stage legally

The five-flight walk-up carry and the Ditmars parking hunt are our problem to solve, not a surprise on your invoice — it’s all sized right and written into one binding flat rate before we lift a box.

Home Crew Rate
Studio or one-bedroom walk-up 2 movers + truck $155/hr
Higher-floor walk-up or full pack 3 movers + truck $215/hr

Astoria moves book through our local moving crew, and walk-ups make up a big share of our schedule. Feed your apartment into our cost estimator for a fast ballpark.

Moving to Astoria — common questions

My Astoria apartment is a fifth-floor walk-up with no elevator. How many movers do I need?
For a high walk-up we usually put three movers at $215 on it — an extra set of hands keeps the carry moving and nobody burns out on the stairs, which often finishes faster than two at $155 grinding up five flights. We confirm the floor and the staircase on the estimate before we quote it flat.
I only found out I have to move in a few days. Can you turn it around that fast?
Often yes — short-notice renter moves are routine in Astoria. Tell Kevin your date and we'll fit the crew to it if we've got a truck free. We quote it flat and keep the same team on both ends, so a rushed timeline doesn't mean a sloppy move.
Parking near Ditmars is a nightmare. Will that hold up my move?
We handle it. The crew scouts your block ahead and stages the truck legally close to your door, so there's no endless circling and no double-parking blocking the street. Tight Astoria parking is baked into how we plan the job, not something that surprises your quote.
