Moving in Tottenville
What a Drennan move looks like in Tottenville.
Tottenville sits at the very bottom of Staten Island, and we have been loading trucks on its streets since long before the Outerbridge was a commuter route. Most of what we move here are Victorians off Main Street, newer townhouse rows near Page Avenue, and waterfront homes that have been in the same family for decades.
Tottenville moves are won or lost on the approach. Half the blocks south of Amboy Road are narrow with deep front setbacks and no driveway wide enough for a 53-foot trailer, so we shuttle from a 26-footer and stage at the curb rather than block a neighbor in. The old houses near Hylan Boulevard have tight stair turns and original banisters we pad before a single box goes up. And because we are seven minutes away, a forgotten wardrobe box is a quick run back, not a rescheduled day.
Neighborhoods we work in regularly around Tottenville: Butler Manor, Richmond Valley, Pleasant Plains, Conference House Park. 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 Tottenville.
How much does a mover cost in Tottenville?
+
Most local Tottenville 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 Tottenville?
+
Two to three weeks is comfortable, and end-of-month and Saturday dates in Tottenville go first. That said, we are 7 minutes from our Brienna Court 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 Tottenville long distance?
+
Yes. We are a Wheaton World Wide Moving agent (USDOT 070719), so we move Tottenville 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 7 minutes from Tottenville. Short-term holds between closings are routine, and redelivery is on your timeline.
Do you offer same-day or short-notice moving in Tottenville?
+
Often, yes. Because our trucks and crews are based 7 minutes from our Brienna Court warehouse, we can sometimes cover a same-week or next-day Tottenville 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 Tottenville, 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 Tottenville buildings and condo associations that require them, and full-value protection is available on any move instead of the bare-minimum per-pound coverage.
