Long Island City is high-rise glass towers where moves run on freight elevators and COIs, and our crew locks the building logistics down early — flat rate written before we load.

I’m Rafael Solano, and Long Island City is the glass-tower end of Queens — high-rise condos and doorman rentals along the waterfront, where the move runs on freight elevators and building rules, not a street stoop. My crew chief Danny Cordero specializes in these high-rises, and Grace Han locks down the COI and elevator reservations ahead of every job.

LIC buildings run strict. Management wants a certificate of insurance on file, the freight elevator reserved for a set window, and the loading dock booked, or the crew doesn’t clear the lobby. Grace confirms all of it before your date, so Danny’s team rolls in on schedule and works inside the window.

The freight-elevator reservation, the loading-dock window, and the building COI are all locked down before move day and folded into one binding flat rate — no meter running while a doorman checks your paperwork.

  • High-rise glass-tower condos and doorman rentals along the waterfront
  • Freight elevators and loading docks reserved for a set window ahead of time
  • Building COI requirements Grace files with management before your date

“Honestly one of the smoothest moves I’ve ever had. These guys were on point—punctual, friendly, fast, and efficient. I didn’t have to lift a finger. They handled everything from start to finish and even helped put my bed frame together. Big shoutout to the team for making what’s usually a stressful day feel easy.”

Moving to Long Island City — common questions

My LIC tower requires a reserved freight elevator and a certificate of insurance. Do you handle all that?
Yes — it's exactly what Danny and Grace do on every high-rise here. We file the COI to your building's wording, reserve the freight elevator and loading dock for your window, and confirm it all with management before your date so the crew rolls in and works without a hold-up.
Do you run your own crew and trucks, or subcontract the high-rise work out?
Our own people and our own trucks — no subcontractors handed the keys to your LIC tower move. Danny's uniformed crew that loads you in is the same team that unloads at the other end, so the building's COI and elevator plan stay in one set of hands the whole way.
My building only gives me a two-hour freight-elevator window. Can your crew work inside that?
We plan the whole move around your window. Grace confirms the exact time with the building, and Danny sizes the crew so the load fits the slot — often three movers to run a tight relay through the freight elevator. We'd rather bring an extra hand than blow a reserved window.
