Ironbound · Newark NJ neighborhood · $50/hr per person

Ironbound Newark — stoops, side yards, and basement cleanouts.

Ferry Street rowhouses, brick fronts gray from decades of curbside diesel, and basements stacked deep with the last tenant's leftovers. Ironbound jobs are dense work — narrow staircases, stoop washing under power lines, alternate-side parking, and Portuguese-bakery foot traffic on weekends. We know the block layout and the parking schedule.

Job pattern

What Ironbound jobs look like.

Most Ironbound calls are two-person basement cleanouts where the staircase turns hard at the landing and we have to dolly furniture up to the sidewalk. Stoop power-washing is the second most common — Ferry Street stoops collect a year of grime fast. We stage the truck on the corner if your block is full and walk the gear in.

Two- and three-family brick rowhouses on 25-foot lots, parlor floors set 8–10 stairs above the sidewalk, full basements at street level.

Most blocks are alternate-side Tuesday/Thursday or Wednesday/Friday — we know the schedule. Permit zones run east of Lafayette. Walnut Street and Adams Street usually have a meter we can park at while we work.

Ironbound questions

Common Ironbound questions.

Can you work around the Ferry Street weekend traffic?

Yes. Saturday and Sunday before noon are quietest — we book those slots first for Ferry Street stoop work and any job that needs the truck on the curb. Weekday mornings before 10 also work fine.

My basement door is around the side. Can your crew get a couch out?

If the side gate clears 30 inches we can usually get a couch out the side door without taking the front door off its hinges. Send us a photo at booking and we'll bring the right number of crew.

Do you do roof-deck cleaning on Ferry Street rowhouses?

Yes — soft-wash on the deck boards and a 25-degree tip on the parapet wall. We bring 50 ft of high-pressure hose so we can run from the basement spigot up four flights without damaging anything.

How fast can you start in the Ironbound?

Same-day or next-day for jobs under 2 hours. Bigger cleanouts usually book within 2–4 days. We dispatch from Newark proper so there's no travel surcharge anywhere east of McCarter Highway.
