Is it cheaper to rent a U-Haul in NYC or hire someone with a pickup truck for moving one sectional?

Top Answer

In NYC, it's usually cheaper to hire someone with a pickup truck for moving a sectional, rather than renting a U-Haul. Renting a U-Haul often comes with additional fees like fuel, environmental charges, and insurance coverage. Laborhutt offers one flat rate for completing jobs.

How do I move a Peloton bike from a 4th floor walk-up?

Top Answer

I've done this before. Be prepared to lift heavy, as the bike is 140 lbs. First, disconnect the touchscreen if your bike has one. Go ahead and lift it up from the rear and place the weight on the front wheels. This allows you to wheel it around. However, the challenge occurs when you need to carry down the stairs. You will need two people for this job. Make sure one person lifts from the front, and one person lifts from the rear. When moving down the stairs, ensure the front of the bike is always pointed downwards since that's the heaviest part.

DLDonald Lopeza month ago

I need to Pickup of sofa is 1st floor home, dropping off at 2nd floor apt with stairs.

Top Answer

2 movers should be fine for a sofa like that, especially since you’ve got stairs on the drop-off side. Distance between the two places matters a lot—if it’s more than a few miles most crews have a 2-hour minimum, so the quote will reflect travel time too.

KCKelly Ca month ago

Looking for movers to assist in moving a mattress, couch, chair, and washer-dryer.

Top Answer

I’d plan for 2 movers and a truck for that load. If there are stairs or long carries, 3 movers is helpful. Big things to confirm: stairs/elevator at both places, whether someone can disconnect/reconnect the washer/dryer, and if the building needs a COI. Most movers charge by time with a 2-hour minimum.
