Movers in Troy, NY

Movers in Troy, NY

I Like To Move It Movers handles local and long-distance moves in Troy, NY from our shop across the river in Watervliet. Most Troy jobs are row houses, downtown lofts and apartments near RPI and Russell Sage, where the staircase and the street decide the plan. We quote each job after asking about stairs, parking and timing.

What does moving in Troy usually involve?

Troy's housing is mostly nineteenth-century row houses and brick buildings converted into apartments, from downtown and Washington Park out to Lansingburgh and South Troy. Front doors open onto the sidewalk, stairs run straight up from the entry and turn at a landing, and very few blocks have a driveway. The truck loads from the street, so the length of the carry and the width of the turn set the crew size.

Up the hill, the streets around RPI and the neighborhoods on the east side have more two-families and some single-family houses with yards. The load is usually easier there, and the street is steeper.

When are Troy moves hardest to book?

Late August and the end of May, when RPI, Russell Sage and Hudson Valley Community College students move in and out, and the last days of every month when leases turn over. Downtown also hosts a Saturday farmers market that takes over the streets near Monument Square, so a Saturday morning downtown move needs a plan for where the truck stands.
