“Chris and Pete were Awesome. They were quick and very nice. Thank you for your help!”
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.
