Leon and Marquel were great. They arrived early after calling to make sure that would be okay. They worked tirelessly the whole time, and made toting heavy loads and cumbersome items look like child’s play. They loaded the truck expertly; I had put my husband in charge of the truck and looked out tge window to see him just standing by as Leon and Marquel did everything. They were both polite and personable. They finished on time and I was very pleased with every aspect of the experience. I would use them again and heartily recommend !

Real Advice from Queens Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Queens. (They’re really nice!)

"Best advice we can give is to find movers who will work you THROUGH your move. Not guys who are looking to be done with you. Moving in NYC has ALOT of variables. And it is a great resource to find a company like ours who will commit to helping you FINISH your move completely!"

Just-IN Time Movers Profile Image - Just-IN Time Movers

"When driving in NYC, take expressways and not parkways. If you are driving a commercial truck then parkways are prohibited and can result in a ticket and fine. "

Brotherly Movers LLC Profile Image - Brotherly Movers LLC

"If you are moving into Manhattan or Brooklyn, please check with your building management on their guidelines. Some only want professional movers, others will allow you to move items yourself, and most require a Certificate Of Insurance (COI) to be produced by the mover."

Major Neighborhoods in Queens

Across the East River from Manhattan lies Queens, the largest borough in New York. It's popular with professionals and families alike, partly because it's home to many of the city's biggest attractions, like Citi Field where the Mets play. Or the famous Flushing Meadows Corona Park, which hosts the annual U.S. Open tennis tournament. But the neighborhood isn't just sightseeing — Queens is named one of the most diverse areas in the world. It has dozens of different neighborhoods and cultures (and all the food and art that come with it!). If you’re planning to join one of these communities, or are here to attend St. John’s University, check out our list of movers in Queens to find a professional familiar with this busy part of the Big Apple.

Astoria

Astoria is a community-centric neighborhood where you're absolutely spoiled for choice when it comes to dining. There are a ton of great Greek, Italian, and Mexican restaurants, along with a part of Steinway Street called Little Egypt that features cultural shops and eateries. If you're a fan of craft beer, then the family-run Bier & Cheese Collective will quickly become a favorite. Astoria Park features the oldest and largest city pool in the Big Apple for those muggy New York summers. But the best part of the neighborhood might be how you don't need the subway to head over to Manhattan. Just take the N.Y.C. Ferry for a nice ride across the East River! Before you move in, check out our list of movers in Queens, New York, to find a professional familiar with the area.

Long Island City

Long Island City is a former industrial center now filled with modern high-rises and plenty of amenities. Art aficionados will especially love living here thanks to its many amazing galleries and MoMA PS1, which offers ever-changing modern art exhibits. Locals and visitors alike love to hang out at Gantry Plaza State Park, a green space with unparalleled views of the Manhattan skyline. And you really can't beat the neighborhood's fresh food! Visit LIC Market for a farm-to-table menu or Hibinio to try their sushi and tofu made in-house. Since Long Island City is one of New York’s most popular neighborhoods, the traffic can get a little congested. But don't worry, you can hire local movers who know the area well and can get you to your new home stress-free.

Forest Hills

Right in the middle of Queens is Forest Hills, known for its beautiful Tudor-style buildings and historic houses.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about the two workers that came to my home. They were polite, professional, and extremely hard-working and efficient. They tore through everything really quickly took great care of all of my items and were really gentlemen. I highly highly recommend this company to anyone thinking about hiring movers.

My move schedule was 3-4pm, and they arrived at 315pm and worked for exactly 2 hours. They were prepared for the job and worked diligently for that timeframe. They were very respectful and took great care of my property. I would recommend "I like to Move It" to anyone for their moving needs.

Arrived early, fit the stuff in less space than we thought. Saved us money with the shipping company. They helped package everything professionally and carefully. Would recommend and use Keith and Raheem again.

Amazing job by what I will call two "magicians" who fit everything and then some into the Pack Rat for me. AND finished in less than estimated time.

George and his guys did a great job! They showed up a couple minutes ahead of the scheduled time and were prepared with all sorts of moving supplies! I had a lot of furniture moving in and out of pods and in and out of houses and most of it was very heavy furniture that needed to be moved up and/or down a flight of stairs. They worked hard and were able to get the job done in a timely manner.

Courtney, Azar, Humberto, Miguel did such a great job moving ALL of our stuff from our 26th truck. They were pleasant and took care of our items. They even figure out how to get some more difficult items down the stairs without causing any damage. Thank you!
