Moving in Westerleigh
What a Drennan move looks like in Westerleigh.
Westerleigh and Castleton Corners are quiet, tree-lined and older than most of the island's south shore — wood-frame houses on small lots with detached garages and driveways built for a 1960s sedan, not a moving truck.
Those narrow driveways and low-hanging maples are why we scout Westerleigh streets before we assign a truck. Overhead branches will take the top corner off a trailer, so we stage on the street and hand-carry the long side rather than risk your tree or our box. The wood-frame houses here also mean real hardwood floors under the rugs — every job starts with runners down, doorways padded, and boots off the stairs if you ask.
Neighborhoods we work in regularly around Westerleigh: Castleton Corners, Meiers Corners, Port Richmond edge, Willowbrook. 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.

Westerleigh moving questions
Costs, timing and storage in Westerleigh.
How much does a mover cost in Westerleigh?
+
Most local Westerleigh 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 Westerleigh?
+
Two to three weeks is comfortable, and end-of-month and Saturday dates in Westerleigh go first. That said, we are 18 minutes up 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 Westerleigh long distance?
+
Yes. We are a Wheaton World Wide Moving agent (USDOT 070719), so we move Westerleigh 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 18 minutes from Westerleigh. Short-term holds between closings are routine, and redelivery is on your timeline.
Do you offer same-day or short-notice moving in Westerleigh?
+
Often, yes. Because our trucks and crews are based 18 minutes up the West Shore Expressway, we can sometimes cover a same-week or next-day Westerleigh 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 Westerleigh, 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 Westerleigh buildings and condo associations that require them, and full-value protection is available on any move instead of the bare-minimum per-pound coverage.
