Moving in Eltingville
What a Drennan move looks like in Eltingville.
Eltingville runs on the express bus and the SIR, and its housing stock reflects it: attached and semi-attached homes, condos near the transit center, and a steady churn of first-time buyers and downsizers.
Attached homes mean no side yard and one front door, so everything routes through a single staircase. We plan the order of the truck around that — beds and dressers last out, first in — instead of shuffling furniture on your lawn. Condo buildings near the transit center usually require a certificate of insurance and an elevator reservation; we send the COI to your board directly, and we have most Staten Island management companies already on file.
Neighborhoods we work in regularly around Eltingville: Eltingville Transit Center, Richmond Avenue, Armstrong Avenue. 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 Eltingville.
How much does a mover cost in Eltingville?
+
Most local Eltingville 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 Eltingville?
+
Two to three weeks is comfortable, and end-of-month and Saturday dates in Eltingville go first. That said, we are 11 minutes from the warehouse, 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 Eltingville long distance?
+
Yes. We are a Wheaton World Wide Moving agent (USDOT 070719), so we move Eltingville 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 11 minutes from Eltingville. Short-term holds between closings are routine, and redelivery is on your timeline.
Do you offer same-day or short-notice moving in Eltingville?
+
Often, yes. Because our trucks and crews are based 11 minutes from the warehouse, we can sometimes cover a same-week or next-day Eltingville 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 Eltingville, 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 Eltingville buildings and condo associations that require them, and full-value protection is available on any move instead of the bare-minimum per-pound coverage.
