Moving in Manhattan, NY? Start here.
Planning a move between Manhattan and New Jersey means choosing who touches everything you own. We are Paramus Moving — a family-owned interstate carrier about 20 miles southeast of our Wyckoff office — and this page is the plain version of what we do for Manhattan families and how to check us out.
A Manhattan job starts about 20 miles southeast of our Wyckoff office, and the honest way to handle that is on paper: the drive is part of the written plan, sized before you commit rather than discovered after.

Distances are straight-line, from public map data — road miles run a little longer.
Plenty of moving websites conjure a local office for every town they list. Ours says Wyckoff, because that is where the trucks park. What Manhattan gets from us is the same thing every town gets: our own crew, our own equipment, and a written estimate. Start at our licensing page — every number links to the government record.
A Manhattan move has its own physics: buildings that want a certificate of insurance on file before the elevator is released, elevator windows that have to be reserved, walk-ups where the stairs are most of the job, and parking that gets planned rather than found. Tell us the building’s rules when you call — the COI, the elevator reservation and the truck plan get settled at the estimate, not discovered on moving day.

Are you licensed for a move in Manhattan?
For a move between Manhattan and New Jersey — either direction — yes: that is an interstate move, and we run those under our own federal authority, USDOT 821492 and MC-364519, both checkable in public records. A move that starts and ends inside New York needs a New York–licensed mover; if that is your move, we will say so on the phone.
Who actually shows up on moving day?
Our own crew, on our own truck. We are a carrier, not a broker — the company you book is the company that does the work, and the office that answers is in Wyckoff.
How far ahead should I book a Manhattan move?
As soon as you have a date. Saturdays and month-end fill first; a mid-week, mid-month date is the easiest to get and often the calmest to work.
