In-town Queens moves locked to a signed flat figure before the first box leaves the apartment
A two- or three-person uniformed crew, one binding number on paper before we lift anything, and a single hourly seven days a week across Flushing and greater Queens. Owned and run by Rafael Solano since 2013.
The name is my own — R. V. Solano — and I put those initials on the side of one truck back in 2013. Today RVS Moving & Delivery Service runs a yard full of them out of Kissena Boulevard, staffed start to finish by uniformed W-2 movers on our payroll. Nobody is pulled off a corner the morning of your job. Before we carry the first box down your stoop, you sign a binding flat figure in writing.
Kevin Ng builds the day’s truck board, and here is roughly how he sizes it. A Corona one-bedroom or a Jackson Heights studio moves cleanly with two. Once we hit a Bayside house with a finished basement, or a prewar Forest Hills co-op where everything rides five flights down a narrow stairwell, Hector Peralta wants a third pair of hands so the load clears before the alternate-side window closes.
| Team size | Per hour | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Two movers + truck | $155 | Studios, one-bedrooms, elevator buildings |
| Three movers + truck | $215 | Walk-ups, houses, tight prewar stairwells |
Billing opens at a one-hour minimum. Furniture blankets, dollies, and shrink-wrap are already folded into that hourly — you will never spot them as a separate line — and a Saturday job carries the identical rate as a Tuesday one.
Three things move the figure: how much is in the apartment, which floor it sits on, and whether a 26-footer can even park near your door. On plenty of Queens blocks the truck cannot, so we sort a double-park permit or a shuttle in advance. Grace Han books all of that before quote day.
| The job | Written flat rate |
|---|---|
| Studio, elevator building, Long Island City | $430 – $590 |
| 1BR walk-up, Astoria or Jackson Heights | $620 – $860 |
| 2BR prewar, no elevator, Forest Hills | $1,050 – $1,440 |
| 3BR house, Bayside or Whitestone | $1,510 – $2,050 |
| Second stop to swing by a storage unit | +$130 – $200 flat |
Queens is never one kind of move. The prewar blocks of Flushing and Astoria bring skinny stairwells, doorframes that have seen a century, and no elevator in sight. The glass towers rising over Long Island City hand you a freight elevator to reserve and a loading dock to time. Broadly, our crews live in:
July and August turn muggy fast, so Hector paces the crew and keeps a cooler on the truck. Come a snow week, alternate-side is suspended and salt covers the block — if the streets turn genuinely unsafe, Kevin slides your date and phones you himself before you ever wonder. Want a ballpark tonight? Punch the details into our instant estimate tool. Heading past state lines to Philly or Boston? Our long-distance moving page has the routes. Living on an upper floor? The apartment crew handles those buildings daily, and the whole team is introduced on the home page.
Each line below is part of every job as standard — none of it shows up as an extra charge when the final bill arrives.
“Jose and Javier were fantastic. They arrived right on time, worked quickly while being very careful with our belongings, and made the whole moving process stress‑free. They handled everything efficiently and unpacked items exactly as requested. Friendly, professional, and hardworking — I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and would happily use them again.”
“Steven and Mills showed up on time, were professional, respectful and hardworking. Went above and beyond to help me with move!”
“Chris and Pete were Awesome. They were quick and very nice. Thank you for your help!”
A family that runs its own trucks, a flat rate signed before we load, an office that actually answers, and crews who work straight through walk-up stairwells, freight-elevator windows and NYC parking rules without pushing your date.
Every mover on your job is a uniformed, background-checked RVS Moving & Delivery Service employee on our own payroll — we never pass the work to a broker or a day-labor pool.
We hold New York State DOT authority plus US DOT and MC authority, fully insured, and our own coverage rides along on every shipment.
You okay one fixed figure before we lift a box — no clock ticking up, nothing added after the truck is loaded.
A 5★ average from real Flushing and Queens households who left honest reviews.
From a studio to a whole house, one Flushing family crew takes the job end to end — always at a flat rate you approve up front.
Flat-rate family crews anywhere across Flushing, Bayside and the five boroughs — written price before we load.
Binding written estimates for interstate jobs, the same crew and truck the whole way under our US DOT and MC authority — Philadelphia, Boston and DC runs common.
Built for Queens walk-ups and high-rise co-ops with Certificate-of-Insurance and freight-elevator logistics handled.
Our crew wraps the whole home a day ahead — tight-stairwell-safe padding — so move day is just loading.
A dedicated spot to bridge a co-op board delay or a closing gap between your dates.
Give us the particulars and we’ll put a Flushing crew on it that’s equipped for this exact kind of move.
