Fine Art Movers NYC

When it comes to moving fine art, antiques, and valuable collections, ordinary moving isn’t enough. Our team is trained to handle high-value pieces with precision and respect. We use museum-grade packing materials and custom-built crates to protect paintings, sculptures, and delicate items from step to the final destination.

Local Furniture Movers NYC

Heavy, bulky furniture can be one of the hardest parts of any move, but for Imperial Movers, it’s what we do best. From sectionals and bed frames to fragile antique cabinets, we have the skills and equipment to move furniture of all shapes and sizes safely. Our movers disassemble and wrap pieces, then reassemble them in your new space.

Piano Moving

Pianos are heavy, fragile, and full of moving parts, so relocating one takes real skill. Our trained piano movers know how to protect uprights, baby grands, and concert grands from damage. We use protective blankets, secure straps, and special dollies to move your piano safely through tight corners, stairs, and NYC hallways.

Pool Tables & Appliances

Pool tables and large appliances are some of the trickiest items to move. Our team is experienced in handling billiard tables, stoves, fridges, and other bulky items, even if you’re moving to a walkup or your new home has narrow spaces. Don’t risk damage (or your back). Let our pros lift and setup these for you.

As a full-service NYC moving company, we handle moves in and out of apartments, brownstones, walkups, high-rises, commercial spaces, and everything in between.

We live here, too, which means we know New York City like the back of our hand. With years of experience navigating every borough, we’ve built up the knowledge to handle even the trickiest moves.

Whether you’re heading to Staten Island or deep into the Bronx, we know the tricks to make your move seamless.

A lot of companies claim to have experience and skilled crews, but we can back it up. When it comes to handling your possessions, you can’t afford to rely on amateurs to get the job done right. Our friendly crews are highly skilled, ensuring that your belongings are unharmed.

You shouldn’t have to worry about broken-down trucks or missing gear. We come prepared with clean, reliable vehicles and all the tools we need to move your items safely: dollies, straps, blankets, and more.

Don’t be that friend or family member that begs everyone to come over and help you move. Instead of trying to tempt people with pizza and beer, hire professionals. That way, everyone’s happy.

We take safety very seriously, for both people and items. Accidents can happen fast, with someone getting seriously hurt, or a valuable item being irreparably damaged. Our team is fully trained and follows safety protocols every step of the way.

Many local movers claim to offer the best rates, but we back it up without sacrificing quality. Imperial Movers combines competitive pricing, flexible hourly or flat rates, and top-tier quality. You get great value and expert help, with no compromises.

Some movers avoid responsibility. We don’t. At Imperial Movers, we believe in transparency and doing the right thing. If something goes wrong during your move, we’ll let you know right away and make it right. That’s our promise.

What New Yorkers Say About Their Local Moves With Imperial

Real reviews from NYC residents who trusted Imperial Movers for smooth, stress-free moves across the five boroughs.

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.

Olivia Russell

“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.”

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!

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!
