Moving in Woodbridge
What a Drennan move looks like in Woodbridge.
Woodbridge Township is five towns wearing one name, and we move all of them — Iselin condos, Colonia colonials, Fords two-families and Avenel starters. For our south shore yard it is closer than the Staten Island north shore.
Cross-state moves are where cheap movers quietly become a problem. We are a licensed interstate carrier under USDOT 070719 and a Wheaton World Wide agent, so an NY-to-NJ move is fully documented, insured and flat-rate rather than a cash handshake. Iselin and Avenel condo associations want a certificate of insurance and a booked window; we file it ahead of the date. Colonia's long driveways take the trailer direct, which keeps your long-distance load off a second truck.
Neighborhoods we work in regularly around Woodbridge: Iselin, Colonia, Fords, Avenel, Port Reading. 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.

Woodbridge moving questions
Costs, timing and storage in Woodbridge.
How much does a mover cost in Woodbridge?
+
Most local Woodbridge 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 Woodbridge?
+
Two to three weeks is comfortable, and end-of-month and Saturday dates in Woodbridge go first. That said, we are 20 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 Woodbridge long distance?
+
Yes. We are a Wheaton World Wide Moving agent (USDOT 070719), so we move Woodbridge 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 20 minutes from Woodbridge. Short-term holds between closings are routine, and redelivery is on your timeline.
Do you offer same-day or short-notice moving in Woodbridge?
+
Often, yes. Because our trucks and crews are based 20 minutes over the Outerbridge Crossing, we can sometimes cover a same-week or next-day Woodbridge 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 Woodbridge, 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 Woodbridge buildings and condo associations that require them, and full-value protection is available on any move instead of the bare-minimum per-pound coverage.
