Moving in New Dorp
What a Drennan move looks like in New Dorp.
New Dorp mixes commercial storefronts along New Dorp Lane with tight residential grids running down toward the beach. We move apartments above shops, two-family houses, small offices and medical suites here — often all in the same month.
Loading on New Dorp Lane means dealing with metered parking and delivery traffic, so we start early and put a crew member on the truck to keep the lane clear. Many beach-side homes were raised after Sandy, which means long exterior stair runs — we rig a ramp rather than carry a sofa up fourteen steps. For the offices along the Lane, we schedule after-hours and weekend crews so you are not closed on a Tuesday.
Neighborhoods we work in regularly around New Dorp: New Dorp Beach, Midland Beach, Oakwood, New Dorp Lane. 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.

New Dorp moving questions
Costs, timing and storage in New Dorp.
How much does a mover cost in New Dorp?
+
Most local New Dorp 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 New Dorp?
+
Two to three weeks is comfortable, and end-of-month and Saturday dates in New Dorp go first. That said, we are 17 minutes up Hylan Boulevard, 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 New Dorp long distance?
+
Yes. We are a Wheaton World Wide Moving agent (USDOT 070719), so we move New Dorp 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 17 minutes from New Dorp. Short-term holds between closings are routine, and redelivery is on your timeline.
Do you offer same-day or short-notice moving in New Dorp?
+
Often, yes. Because our trucks and crews are based 17 minutes up Hylan Boulevard, we can sometimes cover a same-week or next-day New Dorp 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 New Dorp, 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 New Dorp buildings and condo associations that require them, and full-value protection is available on any move instead of the bare-minimum per-pound coverage.
