Moving in Grant City
What a Drennan move looks like in Grant City.
Grant City is a compact mid-island neighborhood of attached brick homes and small apartment buildings clustered around the train station. Moves here are usually one- and two-bedroom jobs that need to happen fast and without blocking the street.
The blocks off Lincoln and Jefferson are narrow with alternate-side rules, so we send a two- or three-man crew with a straight truck and get in and out in a morning. Small does not mean careless: everything still gets pad-wrapped, the doorways still get protection, and the quote you get is still flat-rate, not a meter that runs while we look for parking.
Neighborhoods we work in regularly around Grant City: Lincoln Avenue, Jefferson Avenue, Hylan Boulevard corridor. 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.

How much does a mover cost in Grant City?

Most local Grant City 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 Grant City?
+
Two to three weeks is comfortable, and end-of-month and Saturday dates in Grant City go first. That said, we are 18 minutes from Brienna Court, 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 Grant City long distance?
+
Yes. We are a Wheaton World Wide Moving agent (USDOT 070719), so we move Grant City 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 18 minutes from Grant City. Short-term holds between closings are routine, and redelivery is on your timeline.
Do you offer same-day or short-notice moving in Grant City?
+
Often, yes. Because our trucks and crews are based 18 minutes from Brienna Court, we can sometimes cover a same-week or next-day Grant City 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 Grant City, 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 Grant City buildings and condo associations that require them, and full-value protection is available on any move instead of the bare-minimum per-pound coverage.
