Cardboard just isn’t strong enough! It requires using a lot of tape, which is bad for the planet and hard on your ears. Also, most of the time the boxes just get thrown out and end up in some landfill.

• We use only recycled plastic wardrobes and crates. Unlike cardboard, they’re strong, washable, completely recyclable, and offer no nourishment for bedbugs.
• We don't use plastic tape as our wardrobes and crates are self-locking. No plastic tape means no contamination of the environment just as much as it means no irritating noise.
• We will always use the greenest protective materials to secure your stuff for transport: recycled foam, peanut shells, heavy-duty rubber bands.

We’re a moving company, not a storage company. Most moving companies would love to convince you that they're both and will coax you into using their storage facilities. Don't. Moving companies can’t promise you instant access to your stuff because their storage facilities are usually in locations that are remote and - sometimes - unsafe.

We prefer you work with real storage professionals.

• For Manhattan, we recommend Manhattan Mini Storage.
• For outside Manhattan, we recommend Storage Post.

Katz Moving always prepares its clients' shipments for storage situations, utilizing proven, highly innovative techniques to ensure only the highest possible level of protection.

Unless your moving company of choice is also a state licensed insurance broker, it is illegal for them to sell you an insurance policy for your move.

Regulations do permit moving companies to offer valuation coverage on your shipment, but it’s really not the same as insurance. Therefore, we suggest you work with Movinginsurance.com for all of your moving insurance needs.

However, we also recommend checking whether your current homeowners or renters insurance policy covers your goods while you are moving. Why pay for additional moving insurance if your possessions are already covered.

Moving isn’t all that we do. These are the optional services we offer:

• Pre / Post Move Cleaning Pre / Post Move Cleaning
  Whether you want only one side of the job or both, we will do an excellent job. We only use cleaning products and materials that are environmentally friendly and non-harmful for you, your kids, and your pets.
• Custom Wooden Crates Custom Wooden Crates
  Some things must be handled with extreme care and precision. For high value items and highly fragile items, we recommend purchasing a custom-built wooden crate.
• Professional Disassembly And Assembly Professional Disassembly And Assembly
  Some larger items, e.g., armoires, murphy beds, sofas, may require disassembly in order to be removed from your home. We will tend to the disassembly of any such items - even antique furniture! - and will reassemble them for you at your destination.
• Referrals Referrals
  We have a network of professional services that go hand in hand with moving. Whether you need a professional organizer, an interior designer or just someone to install your shades, we have you covered and will connect you to the best and highest rated companies.
• Charitable Contributions Charitable Contributions
  We all have stuff that takes up unnecessary space in our homes. You haven’t used it in years, were planning on throwing it away, or have some other reason why you don’t want it anymore. In any case, since we will be there anyway, as long as there is space on our truck, we would love to take your books, jackets, and unopened non-perishable food items and donate them to someone in need.
• Disposal Disposal
  Sometimes what you want to get rid of cannot even be donated. We can dispose of it for you.
