Summer Moving

Trucks slow at the curb around here almost every weekday; someone’s shuffling a couch down a stoop every other summer. Summer Moving keeps surprising people by showing up with the same crew and the same small truck, whether it’s a studio in the West 80s or a brownstone near Columbia. They wrap antiques in green pads, carry boxes on padded slings, and leave the hallway cleaner than they found it; no third-party contractors, no hidden fees. Need a last-minute studio flip? They’ll clear out Thursday, sweep Saturday, and lock up Sunday. The only company around with a women-owned tag on its van—give them a ring to price a bedroom, a dining set, or a single crate: (212) 202-1929. Their map makes the route obvious if you’re rolling north from Midtown along Amsterdam: load the directions and head out before the rush.
