Three generations. One family.

Joseph F. Drennan started this company in 1952 with one truck and a handshake. Seventy years later, his grandson-in-law Bill is still answering the phone.

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.

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.

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.

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.

100% Staten Island

We've moved your neighbors. Probably more than once.

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.
