Move Easy. Move with Imperial.

Moving in New York City takes experience, planning, and local knowledge. Imperial Movers was founded to make that process easier for every New Yorker. Over the years, we’ve grown from a small local crew into one of NYC’s most trusted licensed and insured moving companies, known for reliability, care, and a genuine commitment to customer service.

Our Story

Not Another Moving Company

Every company has a beginning. At Imperial Movers, ours began with a single truck, a dedicated team, and one clear mission: to make moving in New York City less stressful. Our founders recognized a problem. Too many residents were facing unreliable service, unexpected fees, and damaged items. They believed New Yorkers deserved better. That belief became the foundation of what would grow into Imperial Movers. What started with a few local moves for friends and neighbors quickly gained momentum. Our reputation for fair pricing, dependable service, and professional care spread across the city. People began to trust us not just for small jobs, but for full-service local moves, residential relocations, and even long-distance moving. Our knowledge of New York neighborhoods, combined with our commitment to customer satisfaction, set us apart.

Today, Imperial Movers serves thousands of customers every year across all five boroughs. We may have grown, but we remain rooted in the values we were built on—honesty, attention to detail, and a strong work ethic. Whether you’re moving across the street or across the state, you can count on us to make your move smooth and stress-free.

Movers Who Know NYC Inside and Out

Behind every successful move is a hardworking team. At Imperial Movers, we take pride in the people who make our company one of the most trusted names in NYC moving services. Our movers are not only skilled but also committed to doing the job right. Each team member is trained in professional packing, lifting, and loading techniques to protect your belongings. Whether you are planning a local move, a long-distance relocation, or need help with packing services, our team is equipped to handle it all. What sets us apart is our deep experience with moving in New York City. Our movers have carried furniture through narrow staircases in walk-up buildings, navigated midtown traffic with fully loaded trucks, and coordinated directly with building supers to meet strict move-in requirements. This level of local knowledge is what makes our residential moving and commercial moving services so reliable.

We understand the unique challenges of city moves. From managing limited parking and building access to handling delicate items and large furniture, our crews work with care and precision. If you need furniture movers in NYC, or require temporary moving and storage solutions, we have the expertise to support your move from beginning to end.

With Imperial Movers, you get more than just a moving company. You get a dedicated team that understands your needs and delivers a smooth, efficient, and stress-free moving experience.

Imperial Movers. Imperial Experiences.

Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what New Yorkers have said about their moves with Imperial.

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.

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!

View Full Testimonial

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!
