What Is a “Small Move” in NYC?
Small moves aren’t small in complexity—they’re just smaller in size, not importance. Whether you’re moving just one room or several high-value pieces, Divine handles:

🚧 Historic Building Regulations
Areas like Greenwich Village, Upper West Side, and Chelsea are full of pre-war and landmark buildings with narrow stairwells, old elevators, and tight spaces. Divine’s crews are trained in white-glove handling and use protective gear to avoid damage to walls, art, and molding.
🚚 Parking & Loading Restrictions
Good luck finding a loading zone in SoHo, Midtown, or the East Village—and you can forget about parking a 26-foot truck. Divine overcomes this by:
- Deploying compact moving vans when needed
- Pre-scouting loading areas
- Working fast to minimize traffic disruption
- Securing required permits when necessary
🧾 COI Requirements
Most NYC apartments and buildings require a Certificate of Insurance (COI) before move day. We’re fully insured and provide customized COIs for any building within hours—no delays, no rejections.

— Grace S., Manhattan
“I just needed help moving a sectional from Astoria to Sunnyside and was shocked by how responsive Divine was. Fair price, same-day service. Best moving decision I’ve made.”
