Moving in Dongan Hills
What a Drennan move looks like in Dongan Hills.
Dongan Hills climbs from the beach up toward Todt Hill, and the move changes with the elevation. Down near Hylan it is two-family homes and rentals; up the hill it is large single-family houses with long, steep driveways.
Those hillside driveways are the reason we keep a smaller 26-foot truck in the fleet. A tractor-trailer cannot safely back down most of them, so we load locally and transfer at the yard for long-distance runs. Up on the hill we also see more pianos, safes and fine art than anywhere else on the island — our crew is rigged for baby grands and 1,500-pound safes, and we build custom crates on site for artwork.
Neighborhoods we work in regularly around Dongan Hills: Dongan Hills Colony, Old Town, Emerson Hill, Todt Hill edge. 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.

Costs, timing and storage in Dongan Hills.
How much does a mover cost in Dongan Hills?
+
Most local Dongan Hills 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 Dongan Hills?
+
Two to three weeks is comfortable, and end-of-month and Saturday dates in Dongan Hills go first. That said, we are 20 minutes from the south shore, 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 Dongan Hills long distance?
+
Yes. We are a Wheaton World Wide Moving agent (USDOT 070719), so we move Dongan Hills 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 Dongan Hills. Short-term holds between closings are routine, and redelivery is on your timeline.
Do you offer same-day or short-notice moving in Dongan Hills?
+
Often, yes. Because our trucks and crews are based 20 minutes from the south shore, we can sometimes cover a same-week or next-day Dongan Hills 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 Dongan Hills, NY?
+
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 Dongan Hills buildings and condo associations that require them, and full-value protection is available on any move instead of the bare-minimum per-pound coverage.
