Moving in Grymes Hill
What a Drennan move looks like in Grymes Hill.
Grymes Hill is large homes on steep, winding roads with views over the Narrows — plus a steady stream of student and faculty moves around Wagner and St. John's.
Howard Avenue is not a street you want an inexperienced driver on. Our drivers have run these switchbacks for years and know which hairpins a trailer cannot clear, so we plan the truck size before we plan the crew. Larger Grymes Hill homes often need a partial pack, a storage hold between closings, and specialty handling for a piano or a wine collection — we do all three in house, from our own warehouse, not through a subcontractor.
Neighborhoods we work in regularly around Grymes Hill: Howard Avenue, Ward Hill, Silver Lake, Wagner College area. 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 Grymes Hill?

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 Grymes Hill?
+
Two to three weeks is comfortable, and end-of-month and Saturday dates in Grymes Hill go first. That said, we are 24 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 Grymes Hill long distance?
+
Yes. We are a Wheaton World Wide Moving agent (USDOT 070719), so we move Grymes Hill 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 24 minutes from Grymes Hill. Short-term holds between closings are routine, and redelivery is on your timeline.
Do you offer same-day or short-notice moving in Grymes Hill?
+
Often, yes. Because our trucks and crews are based 24 minutes from the south shore, we can sometimes cover a same-week or next-day Grymes Hill 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 Grymes Hill, 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 Grymes Hill buildings and condo associations that require them, and full-value protection is available on any move instead of the bare-minimum per-pound coverage.
