Small Move Specialists in NYC

Many moving companies treat small moves as an afterthought, sending inexperienced crews or tagging your job onto someone else's schedule. At Piece of Cake, we treat every move with the same level of attention and professionalism. Our small move crews are fully trained, equipped with all necessary materials, and dedicated to your job. They arrive on time with floor runners, furniture pads, shrink wrap, and the tools needed to disassemble and reassemble your furniture. A small move does not mean small effort.

Flat Fee — No Minimum Hours

One of the biggest frustrations with small moves is being charged a minimum number of hours by hourly movers, even when the job only takes 90 minutes. Our flat fee model eliminates that problem entirely. We quote a guaranteed price based on your actual move details, not an arbitrary hourly minimum. Your flat fee covers all labor, travel time, fuel, basic packing materials, furniture protection, and disassembly and reassembly. No hourly clock, no overtime surprises.

Quick Turnaround for Small Apartments

Most studio and one-bedroom moves are completed in just a few hours. Our crews are efficient without being rushed. They follow a systematic process — protect the space, wrap and load carefully, drive safely, unload and place everything where you want it, and leave both locations clean. For customers on tight schedules, we offer same-day and next-day availability for small moves when our calendar allows.

What Is Included in Your Small Move

Every small move with Piece of Cake includes a professional crew of two or more movers, a clean and well-maintained moving truck, floor and wall protection in both homes, shrink wrap and furniture padding for all items, disassembly and reassembly of standard furniture, free packing of TVs, mirrors, and glass items, COI preparation for your building at no extra charge, and a guaranteed flat fee with no hidden costs. If you need packing services, those are available as an add-on, and we can deliver packing supplies to your door in advance.

Our flat fee pricing means no hidden surprises, ever.

We offer a guaranteed, all-inclusive flat fee, locked in before your move day.

We pack all of your mirrors, glass table tops, pictures, and artwork at no extra charge. We also provide free wardrobe boxes for your hanging clothes on move day, so you don't need to worry about folding or wrinkling your favorite outfits.
