Moving in Perth Amboy
What a Drennan move looks like in Perth Amboy.
Straight over the Outerbridge from our south shore yard, Perth Amboy and the Woodbridge townships are as close to us as half of Staten Island is. We move families in both directions across that bridge every week.
Smith Street and the older waterfront blocks have limited curb access and a lot of second- and third-floor apartments, so we size the crew up rather than the truck. Being fifteen minutes away matters on the day: if your closing gets pushed an hour, we can absorb it instead of charging you for a truck sitting idle. Long-distance out of Middlesex County goes out under our Wheaton World Wide agency, same crew loading and unloading.
Neighborhoods we work in regularly around Perth Amboy: Waterfront District, Smith Street, Budapest, Fords 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.

Perth Amboy moving questions
Costs, timing and storage in Perth Amboy.
How much does a mover cost in Perth Amboy?
+
Most local Perth Amboy 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 Perth Amboy?
+
Two to three weeks is comfortable, and end-of-month and Saturday dates in Perth Amboy go first. That said, we are 15 minutes over the Outerbridge Crossing, 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 Perth Amboy long distance?
+
Yes. We are a Wheaton World Wide Moving agent (USDOT 070719), so we move Perth Amboy 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 15 minutes from Perth Amboy. Short-term holds between closings are routine, and redelivery is on your timeline.
Do you offer same-day or short-notice moving in Perth Amboy?
+
Often, yes. Because our trucks and crews are based 15 minutes over the Outerbridge Crossing, we can sometimes cover a same-week or next-day Perth Amboy 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 Perth Amboy, NJ?
+
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 Perth Amboy buildings and condo associations that require them, and full-value protection is available on any move instead of the bare-minimum per-pound coverage.
