Packing and Moving Services in NYC

Most people don’t realize how challenging a move can be until boxes start piling up and there’s a broken dish or two falling from a poorly packed carton.

And that large sofa? It suddenly feels twice as heavy when you’re trying to angle it through a narrow hallway while leaving deep scratches on the polished floor.

Cracked mirrors, dented kitchen appliances, and entire kitchens packed without protection…

With a trained packing crew and the right materials, Imperial Movers make sure your move is handled properly the first time.

We’ll arrive with everything needed: sturdy boxes, protective wrap, and custom padding so we can pack your home with real attention to detail and nothing gets damaged.

Give us a call. Our trained professionals will handle packing and moving with care and precision so you won’t have to worry about what might break along the way.

Professional Packing Services

Imperial Moving and Storage offers a range of services tailored to how involved you want to be in your move.

We provide housecleaning services and can pack, box, load, unload, and unpack items of all sizes, values, and levels of fragility, from bookshelves and large furniture to pianos and china.

We also offer carpentry, television mounting, and AV installation services to help you settle in faster.

Whether it’s a glass dining table, antique mirror, or oversized sectional, we pack each piece based on its weight, its fragility, and the layout of your building.

Many NYC buildings require certificates of insurance before a move, as outlined by the NYC Department of Buildings.

We regularly coordinate with co-op boards and condo management for COIs so there are no last-minute delays on move day.

Movers and Packers Handling Every Type of Packing Service You Need

Every move is different, especially in NYC. Our crews are experienced with fifth-floor walk-ups, tight brownstone staircases, buildings without elevator access, and NYC parking regulations.

Some clients would rather hire professionals to do the packing for them.
Others prefer to handle certain parts themselves and bring in professional packers and movers for fragile, bulky, or high-value items.

We offer flexible packing options designed around your schedule, your comfort level, and your budget, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Packing Services for Moving: Common Questions

Find answers to your most pressing questions about our NYC moving services.

We are a full-service moving company, handling everything from packing to final setup in your new home.

Our professional packing services include wrapping fragile items, boxing household goods, protecting furniture with padding, and labeling everything clearly so unpacking is hassle-free.

Absolutely. If you prefer to pack some items yourself, we can help with the things you want us to handle: fragile items, large furniture, or any piece that needs special attention like a piano or a pool table.

After delivery, we can unpack your boxes, place items where they belong, reassemble furniture, and remove all packing debris so your home is livable and cozy in a couple of hours. You can choose between full unpacking or just a few hours of assistance.

Packing time depends on how big your home is and how many items you’re moving. A studio or one-bedroom apartment may take a few hours, while larger homes may require a full day or more. Give us the details and we’ll provide a transparent estimate.

We bring everything needed for the job: boxes in multiple sizes, heavy-duty blankets, mattress covers, and protective wrap. Most clients don’t need to purchase anything separately.

Professional packing reduces the risk of damage, saves time, and makes your move easier and significantly faster.

We disassemble and reassemble beds, tables, desks, and other large furniture to ensure safe transportation.

For safety reasons, we don’t pack hazardous materials, perishable food, or flammable items. We’ll review restricted items with you before moving day.

Our professional packing team wraps each fragile item like pictures and TVs individually using packing paper, bubble wrap, and sturdy boxes. We also label each box so it’s handled carefully during loading and unloading.

Yes. Our packing and moving services include protecting, disassembling, moving, and reassembling large furniture such as beds, sofas, tables, and wardrobes.

Emptying drawers prevents shifting and damage during transport. If you need help, we’ll professionally pack the contents for you.

Book a moving company at least two to four weeks in advance. This is key if you’re relocating during the peak moving season in NYC.

As part of our professional packing services, we label boxes by room and contents so the unpacking process is faster and more organized.

Many clients stay home while we’re doing the packing. You can be as involved or hands-off as you like.

Imperial Movers is a licensed and insured company, and your move includes basic valuation coverage. If you need additional coverage options, talk to our team.

Many NYC clients stay home while we pack, especially in walk-ups or co-ops where building access needs coordination. On moving day, we come and handle loading, transportation, unloading, and setup in your new place.

To keep everything organized, we label boxes by room and category. This makes unloading and unpacking faster and ensures everything goes to the correct space in your new home.

From wrapping artwork and securing TVs to labeling boxes by room and coordinating elevator access, we manage every step, so move-in day runs smoothly.

If disaster (or the weather) strikes and your movers suddenly can’t show up, what happens next will depend on a few different factors: the moving company itself, your current and future landlords, and the nature of your current and future leases. “There are a lot of variables that are affected by the cancellation,” says Ruma Ferdous of Imperial Moving. “For instance, clients are worried about finding another mover, making sure they have proper insurance to work in the building, if their current landlords will allow them to stay for another day or if they will charge another month’s rent, etc.”

Joanne Russo felt a sense of panic when she awoke on October 29 to a rain-soaked, wind-battered city and reports that the worst was yet to come. “The last thing we wanted was to get stuck,” said Ms. Russo. “We were afraid the movers would bail on us and then we wouldn’t be able to leave for days.” She was relieved when Imperial Moving called at 8 a.m. to say that they would be there in an hour. As businesses shut down and traffic vanished, the movers emptied the women’s two-bedroom on East 31st Street and carted their belongings to their new sixth-floor apartment at 20th Street and First Avenue. They finished shortly before the electricity went out and the elevator shuddered to a stop. Calling it a rough week barely begins to describe New York after Hurricane Sandy.

“We don’t charge extra if we take a half an hour longer like most companies,” boasts president Daniel Norber. “We do whatever we can to maintain the price no matter what; we care about our reputation more than that extra $50.” Sweet! Because quite frankly, we do care about that $50.

“Imperial Movers managed a fairly complex interstate move for me recently. The team was friendly, efficient, and extremely careful with my belongings.”

Mary O’Rourke

“Outstanding job, both moving out and back in, for an apartment renovation. Not an item broken, and incredibly efficient team. On the move‑out to storage, particular kudos to Arpad (the kitchen packer) and Doctor, the team leader.”

Jonathan R.

Moving is never fun, but in my experience Imperial makes it as stress-free as possible. I wouldn’t use anyone else.

I’ve used Imperial Moving several times over the years—from a small studio move to most recently moving out of a 3-bedroom apartment, which included carrying a piano up 3 flight of stairs. Every single time, they’ve been professional, efficient, and incredibly reliable.

Their pre-move support is excellent—clear communication, transparent estimates, and helpful coordination that makes the process feel so smooth. On moving day, their crew always shows up on time, ready to work, and handles everything with care and attention. The movers are courteous, fast, and clearly experienced. Even with heavy or delicate items, they take the time to do things right.

Moving is never fun, but in my experience Imperial makes it as stress-free as possible. I wouldn’t use anyone else.

Highly recommend Imperial Movers — they truly go above and beyond!

We used Imperial Movers for our relocation in July 2023, and they did an absolutely fantastic job. Dr., the foreman, and the entire team were professional, diligent, energetic, and kind throughout the entire process.

Every item we owned was packed with care and arrived at our new home without a single scratch or anything missing. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction made a typically stressful experience completely smooth and worry-free.

Their pricing was very fair, and what stood out even more was their integrity — not once did they try to upcharge us, even when opportunities naturally arose during the move. That kind of honesty is rare and deeply appreciated.

Highly recommend Imperial Movers — they truly go above and beyond!
