Central Jersey doesn’t have one kind of house, and Cardinal Moving’s crews move all of it: three-bedroom colonials on quarter-acre lots in Edison, third-floor walk-ups above storefronts in New Brunswick, and attached townhomes in Somerset with a shared driveway and not much room to stage a truck. Darnell Osei walks the specific property before he writes a number, because a colonial with a finished basement and a detached garage takes a different crew size than a two-bedroom walk-up with a narrow staircase — guessing over the phone gets either one wrong.
Whatever the house looks like, the crew Darnell assigns at the walkthrough is the crew that shows up on moving day. That’s the rule Victor Alvarez set the company on in 2015, and on a residential move it means the people carrying your dresser down that Somerset townhome staircase already know it’s narrow, because they were the ones who measured it.
We handle residential moves as hourly local jobs within Middlesex, Union, and Somerset counties, or as long-distance moves out of state under our interstate authority — either way it’s the same crew, the same trucks, and the same released-value coverage included at no charge on every job.

What This Service Runs
Crew size sets your hourly rate — $135/hr for two movers, $175/hr for three, $215/hr for four — or if you'd rather have a firm number before move day, Darnell can walk the place first and write one up
That hourly rate covers the truck, dollies, furniture pads, and shrink wrap — nothing billed separately: $135 for two movers, $175 for three, $215 for four, and $45/hr for each mover beyond that. A $150 deposit holds your date and comes straight off the final invoice. Basic released-value protection rides along at no charge on every job, and Renee will walk you through full-value coverage when she books your date if the higher payout ceiling is worth it to you.
