Tips for Moving to Staten Island, New York

When you’re committed to a move to Staten Island, it can be hard to know where to start with your planning. You have to check a lot of things off your to-do list before you can settle into your new home. There’s no need to fret. This comprehensive guide will tell you everything you need to know about moving to Staten Island, New York.

Staten Island is one of the five boroughs of New York City. It sits across the harbor from Manhattan, and it is bordered by Brooklyn and New Jersey. There are close to 480,000 people residing on the island, making it the least populated of the city’s boroughs. Popular residential neighborhoods on Staten Island include Huguenot, Great Kills, West New Brighton, and Todt Hill.

Staten Island is known for being more calm than its neighboring boroughs, and it has a strong historic presence. Historic homes and other buildings give the island a unique charm. The strong presence of families with Italian and Irish descent make for some tasty fare in the island’s restaurants.

When you’re moving to Staten Island, New York, having the following useful information at your disposal will make life so much easier.

Update Your Address

One of the most important (but also one of the most overlooked) tasks on people’s moving checklists is to update their addresses. Changing your address will ensure you get the bills you need and do not experience any complications with existing services.

Schedule a few hours to pick up the phone, fill out an online address change form, or stop by the company’s local branch to request a change of address. It will take time, but it’s best to do it in one fell swoop. You will need to change your address with:

You should also update your address with your local:

  • Banks
  • Loan providers
  • Utility service providers
  • Subscription services
  • Insurance
  • Office payroll department
  • Social Security Administration
  • IRS
  • Pharmacy prescriptions

Find New Utility Services

Setting up your new utilities is another top-of-the-list item. Plan to have a few days of buffer when setting up your services, because it could take the service providers some time to process your account and prepare the services in your new home. You don’t want to be without water or electricity for even a day.

The utilities that require setting up include gas, water, electricity, internet, security systems, cable TV, and possibly a home telephone. There may only be one service provider option, or you could have several companies to choose from. It’s best to discuss the options with your real estate agent, property management company, landlord, or former homeowner and then make a decision.

Once you know which service providers you want to use, call them to start your service or change your service from your old residence to your new one. It’s common for some technicians to stop by your residence to set up what you need. When it comes to electricity, it is best to have an electrical technician come to your home to perform an energy audit.

The audit includes an intense walkthrough of every room, examining some of the electrical work to ensure it is safe and up to code. They might also tell you where you are losing energy and suggest fixes in order to be more energy efficient so you can cut costs. These are some common service providers in Staten Island.

While you’re scheduling the start of your new service, don’t forget to pay the utility bills for your current location. Pay overdue bills and schedule a time for your utility companies to do a final reading of your water, gas, and electric meters. Keep a copy of the meter reports.

Prepare Your Pets

Whether you’re moving down the street or across the country, the move can be stressful for your pets. Plan ahead and prepare your pets. First, you should update your pets’ ID tags with your new Staten Island address. Get all the vet and vaccine records from your current veterinarian. If your pet has any medication for your pets, collect it before the move.

It’s also a good idea to find a pet boarding place in case of emergency. You may need to board your pet during some part of the move, so shop around until you find one that you feel comfortable with. Get the phone number and address of a veterinarian close to your home, too.

Know Move-In Rules for Neighborhood

You won’t know if there are any move-in restrictions unless you ask. Contact your real estate agent, landlord, property management company, or previous homeowner about any move-in regulations you need to be aware of. There might be restrictions on when and where your moving truck can park, for example. Ask in advance so you can prepare ahead of time.

Find a Storage Facility

You might need to use a storage facility during the moving process, so have a company on standby. Whether it’s for temporary or permanent storage, there are several options to choose from in Staten Island.

These guys--White Glove Moving & Storage, Inc.--went above and beyond not only my expectations but is by far, the best moving company I've ever dealt with (and I've made 4 major moves in the past 20 years).From beginning to end, their entire process is thoughtful, professional, and courteous in every department and every interaction I had with White Glove Moving & Storage--scheduling, making changes, the moving crew, the handling of furniture, the off-loading and setting up of our furniture in our new place (we were able to sleep in our own beds that night!), the follow-up after moving, etc.They were brilliant and I would use them again in future moves.
White Glove came recommended to us and they did not disappoint! Professional service throughout the entire process. From consultation, estimate, billing, and finally Moving Day we could not have been more pleased with our experience. The crew for moving day were very friendly and did a great job keeping everything organized and in perfect condition. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for high quality moving services!

First leg of the move was amazing! Ralph who visited the house to give the estimate, Mike and Darwin in sales and Stone and team who moved my belongings to storage were amazing. I was practically on the phone with Mike or Darwin everyday. They were very patient with my questions, changes, arrangements for my paintings. I will post another review once I get my belongings out of storage and move them to LA.

If you need to move? This company should be your 1st & only call! From the initial consultation with Frank in the office to the actual move day with Julio & his team was extremely seamless, stress free and the most professional & efficient display of team work I have witnessed utilizing a moving service! White Glove knows what they are doing, no complaints about the pricing whatsoever! They did not scratch, dent or damage any of our possessions & helped us pack! I could go on & on about them and what they did right! Stay away from uninsured amateurs and get the right people for the job! “You get what you pay for..” rings completely true here! Thank you again Frank & Julio! We are forever grateful!

We had a FANTASTIC moving experience. Everyone I talk to has said they have never heard of a move so well done. We had a fantastic team of movers and they were so helpful the entire day. They worked quickly and took great care of all our items. They even made sure we had a chance to look at all furniture to advise on placement and were happy to adjust as needed. Overall, we had a great experience working with White Glove. Even the lead up was very easy - the representative we received the quote through was always available to answer questions and help us modify the quote. Thanks to the whole team!

We chose White Glove Moving and Storage as a recommendation from a friend. My first experience was with Chris and he was very pleasant and informative. He made it easy to arrange my move and followed up promptly to every additional question... They allowed my to move my date and were pleasant when I did so. They showed up on time and were efficient and professional. They took everything apart and wrapped everything perfectly so there was no damage.. They were patient with me when I wanted to hold them up to put felt on the furniture as it arrived. They worked hard and did not waste any time. There were no surprises at the end when it was time to pay my bill. Everything was as they said it would be. Overall I am very happy with White Glove Moving and Storage and would use them again!!

I highly recommend White Glove! This is our second time using them and the service is exceptional. Everything is wrapped and well cared for. They are reliable. Oscar and his crew were very patient. We had too move some furniture around from the original place and they did it with no problems. Moving is stressful enough, higher a great company.
They provided excellent service, arrived in the time they said they would and handled everything with care. Will gladly use again.

White Glove made my move extremely easy and convenient. They're leading the way in moving in NJ and it's very clear from the initial phone call coordinating an estimate that they know exactly how to move any item from your house or apartment. Easy, efficient, and careful with all items and aspects of the move. Would absolutely recommend using this company if you have an upcoming move around the area.

I rarely post a review but I want others to know of the amazing experience I had with White Glove Movers. They were professional, quick and most of all thorough. We did a detailed walk through before and after and the team didn’t miss a thing. I also appreciated the follow-up call to check on my experience.

I used White Glove for multiple moves and storage. Whether it was moving from my house to my apartment, moving items to storage, or a long distance move from NJ to SC, they were professional, courteous, and highly supportive. I highly recommend their services whether small or large.
I was very satisfied with White Glove from start to finish- from dropping off boxes in advance of my move, to the day of the move, to help make what is typically a stressful process, as seamless as possible. I highly recommend.

White Glove provides flawless service from start to finish. White Glove even made the packing process easier by dropping off boxes and tape after I reserved my date. Marton and his moving team were beyond fantastic. They treated all my belongings with such care, wrapping all my furniture precisely, and communicating consistently with my partner and I so everything ended up in the correct rooms. I truly could not recommend White Glove highly enough. Their service is absolutely worth the money.

The entire experience was a pleasure from start to finish, with the project manager taking his time to understand the needs of the move. He didn't try to rush me, and at times Frank even pointed out certain things I could have been missing.The crew itself was extremely professional and efficient. They took their time walking through the apartment both, before packing and before unpacking.At the back-end, they did not leave till I was satisfied with everything.I'd definitely recommend them to anyone else who is looking to move.

White Glove did a fantastic job moving us back from our rental to our newly renovated home. We used a different company to move out & I was so worried to move again after that experience BUT White Glove and our crew eased my mind. The crew was professional, quick, organized & respectful. They did a great job and I am so happy that I decided to give White Glove a chance.
The team that did our move was fantastic ! They made everything feel easy on that stressful day for us. Emad and Ezazat were super helpful and very efficient. Definitely recommend to use White Glove for any move !!! FIVE STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

From the first call I was impressed with the attention I got from Mike my salesman. This was followed by Lukas working with me on estimate to make sure I had all the information tto make an informed decision about needing 1 or 2 trucks since I was moving staff from 2 locations. Then the moving day came. The movers came on time, they introduced themself and Marton ( the leader of the crew)walked with me around to make sure they know what exacly to pack, explained to me the wrapping process and taking some of my furniture apart. I was very happy with White Glove services and would recommend them to anyone.
