    Movers slashed my sofa when unpacking - they cut it with a knife when taking the plastic off a designer sofa. $2500 worth of damage (that was the estimate to reupholster). Won't return phone calls or emails - it takes 4 calls before they will respond. They tried to pass me off to their family upholsterer who from what I can ascertain saw the damage and told them it needed to be recovered and was not repairable. Made an offer of $200 because according to them it was an accident and not negligent. Complete carelessness on their part - their teams should be far more careful when using a knife to remove packaging. They then offered $800 which does not even come close to covering the repair. I'm now looking at having to file a claim against them. This is not a company you want to be working with if there are any issues. Lack of customer focus and accountability. Absolutely terrible customer service and lack of care.

    Being strapped for time, I had to find a reliable moving company in a matter of a week to get my mother from Westchester County to LA County by mid November. I read sooooo many reviews and wasn't impressed with any of the companies. I was also disappointed to find that many of the reviews never mentioned the actual cost. So, I decided to ask my local neighbors on both coasts on NextDoor. Low and behold, many of them mentioned Al's Moving. I even had one neighbor private message me to assure me that he was the best in the area. That was all I needed to hear! I picked up the phone and called him on a Saturday afternoon with a 3 hour difference. It was almost 5pm on the East Coast and he was with his wife but picked up any way! I was blown away and impressed with his concern to help me move my mom out to LA. When I hung up the phone, we had confirmed to meet at mom's house the day after I arrived to walk around the house and discuss what I needed to move. Al, was prompt to our meeting and honest about the price. He knew I had a budget and tried very hard to accommodate me. I also enjoyed our conversation. Al let me know that it would be cheaper to buy things new then ship out all of mom's furniture. I appreciated his honesty which helped me to narrow down my shipping list. (The original one was very long.) By the next day, Al called me to let me know his business associate, Robert Benedict Professional Mover, would be contacting me in regards to picking up my items by the end of the week. He stopped by one my time to drop off boxes, tape and paper. I had less then 5 days to pack up 25 boxes before Robert arrived. Al did me a HUGE favor, so I was not missing this pick up! 25 boxes, 11 pieces of furniture, 2 large area rugs, and 4 small rugs, cost me under $5000. I had been quoted twice that by competitors. Al's Moving and Storage Highlights: Prompt, reliable, honest, friendly, affordable, no deposit required, no bullshit, cashiers or bank check payable upon delivery, and all items arrived safely!!! Thank you Al for your honesty, integrity and amazing service. Not sure why your Yelp reviews aren't 5 stars. I would definitely use your company again as well as refer you to anyone who needs a reliable mover.

    Thank you for your reply however it is an empty promise! I have called and left messages many times with Joseph only to be ignored! Your response is an empty try to help.

    Left in the BUSH!!

    Wholeheartedly DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! The pics are proof enough of the job done! I would understand if it was ONE item, things may break during a move. There were MULTIPLE mishaps and NO COMPENSATION!! The lamp that was broken was left IN A BUSH! The piece to reed mill was LOST when reassembled! The TV was broken and when plugged in, this is what appeared on the screen! The mattress was left ON THE FRONT LAWN!! The patio umbrella was left UNASSEMBLED! In speaking with management, wanted to send the same men who left the job in disarray to "make it right" TOO little TOO late!! I removed the mattress from the front lawn! I removed the broken lamp from the bush, and I brought in the remaining furniture left outside!! For the cost of the move, the professionalism was deplorable! And still NO COMPENSATION for broken-lost items!!

    See all

    Used them to move from my apt to a storage unit. And then from said storage unit to a townhouse. Both times were excellent and seamless.

Fantastic crew of 4 led by the highly capable Matthias was prompt, diligent and professional. They handled everything with aplomb and style. Not a small move by any stretch, and with a number of big items (King Mattress, oversize wood mirror and some furniture) - everything was packed and unpacked with care. One of the best business experiences I've had in a long while. Highly recommended...

    This was my first time hiring movers and J & G Moving exceeded my expectations! The move went so…read moresmoothly that I highly recommend them. I price-compared a ton of NYC moving companies and J & G gave me a competitive moving quote. Additionally, the building I was moving into required a certificate of insurance (COI) and J & G was able to offer it for me for free. A lot of other companies charge for this. Before moving, I communicated with them via email and they always responded promptly and were very clear about what their moving package included. The day of the move, they called and asked if it was okay if they came an hour early. They were very communicative with me during the whole move. The lead guy (forgot his name!) assessed how many things I had and then discussed with the other 2 men on how to efficiently approach the move. The 3 men were over 6' tall and strong, and they were able to finish my whole move in a little more than 1 hr! I did not have anything that was easily breakable but the men treated my things with care. They provided blanket and shrink wrapping for all of my furniture. Everything was loaded up into their truck very quickly. These guys wasted no time. When I arrived at my new apartment building, they had already started unloading my things. I had my boxes labeled with what was inside (i.e., kitchen supplies, shoes, jackets) and they actually placed each box in the corresponding room. Best of all, there were no hidden fees. They ended up not charging me a processing fee that was included in the quote and gave me $40 off my quoted price. The movers were so friendly, communicative and professional, I will definitely be using J & G Moving again! I also wanted to note that on the day of my move, the street I was moving from was blocked due to construction. J & G movers did not complain or make any mention of that until I had stepped outside of my apartment building and noticed it. These guys provide excellent customer service and I was very impressed by them.

Leading up to the move Karina was in close contact with us every step of the way making sure we had all of the information and help needed to ensure things would run smoothly. Day of, Romy and his team were personable, professional, fast (yet careful) and incredibly accommodating - I'm hopeful we won't be moving again soon, but if we were I would absolutely be requesting Romy and his team again. One bit of context - We had heard that Vector was one of the least expensive options available - for us, their quote did come back in the upper middle of the 6 or 7 companies we looked at, but also did not change, and there was no pressure placed on us to pay extra for the handful of things we failed to account for in the initial quote.

Vector…read moreoffice staff were very kind and gave us the best quotes it's just the actual people who stuff that were worst. We have moved multiple times in east cost always use the same mover from NY. This time thought of trying a NJ based mover. Here are the issues 1.Lack of professional behavior. They came inside saw that entryway table had a few bills picked them up asked me which currency it is. 2. One of the kitchen packers opens lid of my spice box (I had leaves and chillies puts his nose in sniffs and asks what is it? 3. Packed every little thing in white wrapper so unpacking was hell. Single stainless steel spoon wrapped in 4 layers of packing . 4. Who does this .packing open can of bleach with groceries. While unpacking I saw white dust thought its paint once I hit end of box it was bleach so ended up throwing everything from that box. Which professional mover does that 5. Random packing. I had very organized closet but they picked random items and packed in diff boxes so i had box with sweaters pillow covers photo frames and belts all from diff parts of closet. LASTLY we were given pricing we paid that by bill and paid $800 extra over that without receipt as they demanded that they packed box. When vector gave me a quote it included 10 medium boxes $20 per box but the guys packed everything with white wrapper in kitten not one but 4 sheets and increased boxes packed to 30 , unethically charging us for small boxes stuffed with white paper. Please note it was a very painful experience and no one deserves this kind of billing or nonsense

After talking to them, I knew I wanted to go with them. Their customer service, attention to details, and organization are 5-star levels. One thing that really stood out to me was that instead of asking me how many boxes I need, they asked me to send them pics of my place and stuff, and they calculated the number of small, medium and large boxes I need. It's so easy to underestimate and get a different price at the end. Also, I know I wanted packers because its speeds up the entire process of moving and settling in. I'm so glad I did with Roadway. It usually takes me over half a week to pack and be stressed for over a week, but Diego and his 3 teammates packed up our studio in 2-3 hours. They're so professional. They moved so quickly with care and accuracy. Most importantly, all my kitchen appliances were wrapped with care and delivered and arrived to my new apartment in the same condition. It took us about 2 hrs to settle in, and they once again unpacked most of the furnitures and reassembled them, making me feel settled in and relaxed. I cannot thank their team enough. They're all so polite, friendly and efficient. Within 1 day, I already feel 95% settled in. It's the easiest, stress-free moving experience I had in a while!
