A note from Bill

"When you call us, you get me."

My grandfather started this company in 1952 with one truck and a handshake. Three generations later, that's still how we do business — except now we've got a bigger truck and a bigger handshake.

I answer the phone myself. I write your quote myself. And the same crew you meet on day one — Aaron, Roy, Frank, Mike, Brian, Keith — is the same crew that loads your truck, drives it across town or across the country, and sets your bed up in your new bedroom.

No call centers. No subcontractors. No "we'll get back to you." Just a Staten Island family, doing this for other Staten Island families. The way it should be.

Our Staten Island HQ & warehouse

The warehouse

Where every move begins — and most don't end on time.

Tucked off Brienna Court on Staten Island's south shore, our warehouse is more than a depot — it's where Bill plans every job personally and where Aaron and the crew load out at sunrise, six days a week.

Climate-controlled storage, padded crating bays, and the same trucks our customers see in their reviews. No subcontractors. No "logistics partners." Just the Drennan family, doing what we've done since Eisenhower was president.

16 Brienna Court

Inside the warehouse most movers don't want you to see.

Walk in any morning and you'll find Frank wrapping a china cabinet, Roy stacking pads on a hand-truck, and the smell of fresh coffee from Bill's office in the corner. This is where your move starts the night before — and where your stuff sits safely between move-out and move-in if there's a gap.

A day with the crew

What a Drennan move actually looks like.

From the 5:30 AM yard call to the handshake at your new front door — here's how the day really runs.

5:30 AMStep 01

Yard call

Aaron rolls into 16 Brienna Court, checks the manifest, fuels the truck, loads pads and dollies. The day starts before the sun does.

6:45 AMStep 02

Crew brief

Roy, Frank, Mike — the team huddles over coffee, runs the route, and decides who's loading what. Every job gets a plan, even the small ones.

8:00 AMStep 03

Pad-wrap & load

Doorways blanketed. Floors runner-laid. Furniture pad-wrapped before it leaves the room. Twelve years of muscle memory, no shortcuts.

11:30 AMStep 04

On the road

Across the Verrazzano, up the Garden State, or all the way down I-95. Wherever your stuff goes, a Drennan goes with it.

3:15 PMStep 05

Unload & set up

Boxes stacked by room. Beds reassembled. Couches placed. Aaron walks the house with you before he leaves the keys back on the counter.

5:00 PMStep 06

"These guys are the best! Everyone of them are workers no slackers. They were courteous; professional and respectful. When you are packing 26 years of memories and it's important to you this is the company you use. We moved from Staten Island to Pennsylvania. Everything arrived in perfect condition, from the China cabinet to the crystal; mirrors; pictures and various other fragile items. A huge thank you to Bill who made us feel very comfortable!"

Theresa B Vanderbilt

"Three nearly consecutive moves managed by Drennan Movers including a baby grand piano. The work ethic, attention to detail and care with which up to 8 different movers handled the moves was exceptional. Customer service and satisfaction really separates this moving company from others. Many decades of moving phobias have been totally forgotten. Don't waste time or money using any other moving company."

Ellen Jaiman

The move was done without a hitch, the guys were great! I cannot say enough about this company! Good, honest people in a world where you can't find too much of that any more."

From Tottenville to St. George, the south shore to the north — Drennan trucks have been parked on every block on this island. Ask around. There's a good chance the family across the street used us. Their kids probably did too.

Three generations · 70+ years

A Staten Island family business — since Eisenhower.

From 1952 to today, every move has had a Drennan on the truck and a Drennan on the phone.

1952

Joseph F. Drennan opens the doors

One truck. One man. Staten Island, NY. The first move was a three-bedroom on Hylan Boulevard for $42.

1968

Joseph Drennan & Sons

The next generation joins the truck. The 'Sons' goes on the door — and stays there for the next 50+ years.

1981

Wheaton World Wide partnership

Drennan becomes a Wheaton agent. Suddenly, that 'last move across town' could be the first leg of a move across the country.

1997

16 Brienna Court warehouse opens

Climate-controlled storage, on-site crating, padded loading bays. The yard you'll see in our reviews.

2005

Bill takes over the office

Third-generation Hetherington picks up the phone — and never puts it down. Same number ever since.

2024

10,000+ moves and counting

Forty-plus 5-star Google reviews. Customers on their third Drennan move. Same family, same trucks, same handshake.

From our yard

The trucks. The team. The proof.

Every truck is ours. Every crew is in-house. No subcontractors, no day labor.
