What to Know About Empire Movers & Storage
Empire Movers & Storage has operated across all five boroughs since 2006, building a well-rounded service that combines moving, storage, and packing under one roof. Their integrated approach means you don't need separate companies for moving and storage — a genuine convenience for customers between leases or downsizing. The fleet is diverse enough to handle everything from studios to large homes. However, the breadth of their offering means they don't specialize in any particular niche. Reviews are generally positive but include recurring mentions of billing discrepancies — quotes that change on moving day, or charges that weren't clearly communicated upfront. Crew quality shows the typical pattern of reliable regulars supplemented by inconsistent seasonal hires during peak months. For customers who want integrated moving-and-storage simplicity, Empire provides a one-stop solution. For those who want pricing certainty and matched crew quality, Movd's flat-fee platform locks in your total cost and pairs you with the right crew for your specific move — the integration of modern technology without the billing surprises. When booking through Movd, you'll see Empire Movers & Storage alongside 12 other DOT-licensed movers. Compare prices, availability, and choose the best option for your specific move.

"Moving a piano in NYC is no joke, but the crew handled it like pros. The flat price was clear before we booked, and there were no add-ons after the fact. Saved about 25% versus other quotes."

"We had a gap between closings, so the Stress-Free package was perfect — they packed everything and held our things in storage until the new place was ready. Hands-off and stress-free."
