Cross the Bronx line heading north and you reach Yonkers, the Westchester city perched along the Hudson where Admiral Van Lines runs jobs with the same focus we bring to Manhattan or Brooklyn. Vinny Russo grew up in Bensonhurst and built a crew that handles all three faces of this city: the Getty Square towers and rental high-rises by the Metro-North platform, the steep-hill blocks where two- and three-family houses stack above downtown, and the quieter single-family pockets running up toward Crestwood and the Bronxville edge. Our drivers pull in off the Saw Mill or the top end of I-87, and each load stays on Admiral equipment, staffed end to end by movers we employ on a W-2 basis.
What Vinny’s Admiral crew sorts out before a Yonkers load
This city throws downtown elevators, hillside grades, and parkway timing at us all in one morning, so we lock down the plan before a wheel leaves the yard.
- Clear the paperwork. A Getty Square high-rise or a riverfront rental near Metro-North usually means a management office wants a certificate of insurance on file, a freight elevator booked for a set window, and a dock or driveway slot confirmed days ahead.
- Read the grade. Up on the slopes over downtown, the older two- and three-family homes perch on pitched grades; we scout where a loaded truck can park, chock, and let the crew carry without fighting the climb.
- Right-size the team. A single-family place near Crestwood gets the headcount its room count and stair runs actually warrant, not a guess.
- Lock the price. Tough building, tough hill, or smooth driveway, the quote we put in writing is the quote you pay.
Yonkers pricing, written down and held to the day
✓ Trucks we own, movers on Admiral payroll
- When you call, Vinny or someone at the Admiral desk answers in person, not a hired phone room
- The figure on your contract is exactly what changes hands at the curb, no day-of surcharges and no padded line items.
- One Admiral Van Lines crew packs, loads and unloads every single job
- The load carries $1M in coverage, and your co-op or doorman office gets its COI that same day
- Should anything come up, Vinny looks over the claim himself — nothing leaves the building
× Broker chain
- Whatever you type elsewhere gets routed into a phone room and resold to whoever bids next.
- Delivery-day invoice quietly padded with surprise “add-ons”
- Every time, an unfamiliar truck pulls up with a crew you have never met
- Building-insurance paperwork you end up chasing down yourself
- Damage claims dodged with a “different contractor” excuse
Storage between closings runs roughly $140 to $320 monthly, scaled to the unit you need. On the move side, most homes price as flat bands: figure $500 to $800 for a studio, $800 to $1,350 once you add a bedroom, $1,350 to $2,300 at two, and $2,300 to $3,800 at three. Prefer hourly? Two Admiral movers go for $160 an hour, a three-person team $220, a four-person team $290. Either way, your number is fixed on the worksheet up front, so a creeping downtown elevator or a clogged Saw Mill won’t push it higher.
A pitched block above Getty Square stays out of your Yonkers total
The written quote already accounts for the hard stuff: a hillside two-family with nowhere good to stage the truck, a tower management office demanding its COI, a sluggish stretch on the Saw Mill heading up. Vinny books an early roll-out so we beat the worst of the traffic, and everything you own ships insured under $1M of cargo protection, with full-value coverage ready to add if you want it.
Headed out of state from Yonkers? We handle the long run on Admiral wheels with Admiral people, which means the movers wrapping your riverfront apartment are the same ones unloading it wherever you land. No handoff to an agent, no swapping you onto a stranger’s truck partway through. Reach Vinny directly at (888) 711-4778.
