Moving in Bayonne
What a Drennan move looks like in Bayonne.
Bayonne is a bridge away, and we cross it constantly — families moving off Staten Island into Hudson County, and Bayonne renters heading into new construction on the waterfront.
Bayonne's classic two- and three-family homes have narrow stoops and interior stairs that turn twice, and the newer waterfront buildings have loading docks with strict reservation windows. We handle both in the same day when we have to. Because we are a licensed interstate carrier, an NY-to-NJ move is a normal Tuesday for us, properly documented and insured — not a gray-area cash job.
Neighborhoods we work in regularly around Bayonne: Bergen Point, Constable Hook, Broadway corridor, Bayonne Peninsula. If your street is not on that list, it is still ours — call Bill at (718) 317-5100 and he will tell you exactly how we would run it.

Bayonne moving questions
Costs, timing and storage in Bayonne.
How much does a mover cost in Bayonne?
+
Most local Bayonne moves are flat-rate. A one-bedroom apartment typically starts around $600, a two-bedroom home runs roughly $900–$1,400, and a three- to four-bedroom house is usually $1,600–$2,800 depending on stairs, packing and how much is in the basement or garage. You get the exact number in writing before moving day — no hourly meter, no surprise fuel or stair charges.
How far in advance should I book a move in Bayonne?
+
Two to three weeks is comfortable, and end-of-month and Saturday dates in Bayonne go first. That said, we are 20 minutes over the Bayonne Bridge, so short-notice and same-week jobs are often possible — call Bill at (718) 317-5100 and he will tell you straight whether a crew is free.
Do you move out of Bayonne long distance?
+
Yes. We are a Wheaton World Wide Moving agent (USDOT 070719), so we move Bayonne families anywhere in the lower 48 — the Carolinas, Florida, Texas and the Southwest are our most common runs. The same crew that loads your house is the crew that unloads it. No broker hand-off.
Can you store my belongings between closings?
+
We have climate-controlled, alarmed and inventoried storage at our own warehouse at 16 Brienna Court, Staten Island — about 20 minutes from Bayonne. Short-term holds between closings are routine, and redelivery is on your timeline.
Do you offer same-day or short-notice moving in Bayonne?
+
Often, yes. Because our trucks and crews are based 20 minutes over the Bayonne Bridge, we can sometimes cover a same-week or next-day Bayonne job when a closing moves or a landlord changes the date. Midweek is easiest; end-of-month Fridays and Saturdays are the hardest. One phone call to (718) 317-5100 gets you a straight yes or no, not a callback.
Are you licensed and insured for moves in Bayonne, NJ?
+
Yes — Joseph F. Drennan & Sons Inc. has operated under USDOT 070719 since 1952 and is an agent for Wheaton World Wide Moving. We carry cargo, liability and workers' compensation coverage, we file certificates of insurance directly with Bayonne buildings and condo associations that require them, and full-value protection is available on any move instead of the bare-minimum per-pound coverage.
