Moving in West Brighton
What a Drennan move looks like in West Brighton.
West Brighton and Randall Manor are north shore neighborhoods full of century-old homes — wide porches, plaster walls, staircases that were never designed for a modern sectional.
Old houses are the reason we still carry door jamb protectors, banister pads and a door-removal kit on every truck. On Castleton Avenue the curb cuts are shallow and the street parking is competitive, so we arrive early and stage from the closest legal spot rather than double-park all day. If a sofa genuinely will not turn the landing, we say so during the estimate instead of discovering it on moving day.
Neighborhoods we work in regularly around West Brighton: Randall Manor, Livingston, Port Richmond edge, Castleton Avenue. 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.

West Brighton moving questions
Costs, timing and storage in West Brighton.
How much does a mover cost in West Brighton?
+
Most local West Brighton 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 West Brighton?
+
Two to three weeks is comfortable, and end-of-month and Saturday dates in West Brighton go first. That said, we are 25 minutes via the West Shore Expressway, 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 West Brighton long distance?
+
Yes. We are a Wheaton World Wide Moving agent (USDOT 070719), so we move West Brighton 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 25 minutes from West Brighton. Short-term holds between closings are routine, and redelivery is on your timeline.
Do you offer same-day or short-notice moving in West Brighton?
+
Often, yes. Because our trucks and crews are based 25 minutes via the West Shore Expressway, we can sometimes cover a same-week or next-day West Brighton 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 West Brighton, 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 West Brighton buildings and condo associations that require them, and full-value protection is available on any move instead of the bare-minimum per-pound coverage.
