I've hired Max and BG movers for packing and moving three times within Manhattan in the past six years, and referred them to half a dozen friends. They've helped me through a seventh floor walk-up, and a building with the world's smallest elevator. There was also a building that, due to a building error, tried to not let me move in and would have forced all my belongings into storage for two days, which would have been catastrophic - Max talked things through with the doorman and managed to get me moved in that day, with his team staying until almost midnight because of the delay caused by the building. I really appreciate that they're so consistent, such that when it comes time to move I don't have to spend time comparing a bunch of quotes, researching movers, checking to see if the reviews are fake, etc. The peace of mind that comes from just being able to call my go-to movers, knowing I won't get scalped on the price and that nothing is going to break, is priceless. I literally see the relief on my friends' faces when I mention I have movers I really love and recommend. I never write reviews but want to help this team grow because they've been so great across my multiple moves, and they deserve to be better known. Anyway, this is why BG is the best: 1) The price is flat and doesn't move. There's a flat quote at the beginning for packing and moving, and that's the amount you pay at the end. No nickel and dime-ing over packaging materials, claims that there's actually more stuff, etc. The quote is not hourly so there's no incentive to be inefficient. They used to be a great deal but pricing has gone up and now I would say the pricing is fair. 2) I've never had anything break or get scuffed, including huge mirrors, paintings, china, and delicate objets d'art. Granted, I know this is because they're doing the packing also. They're SO smart when it comes to packing and do a way better job than I would do on my own. They pack in an incredibly thoughtful manner that maximizes your unpacking efficiency later. My makeup brushes which are tucked in open cups were packed and loaded in such a way such that they never moved upside down during transit, so when unpacking they were all upright in their original cups. There's no leakage in my bathroom bottles, and they also know which ones have lids that need to be taped and which ones you can skip the tape (so that unpacking is easier). Honestly if you can afford going with BG for both packing and moving I highly, highly recommend them. read more

During COVID, my partner moved a total of three times, including out of state. The guys at BG Moving made these moves a lot more manageable and less stressful. They're such professionals and I am always surprised by how quickly they get things done, while keeping all my items protected and in the same condition. Aside from their great work, they're super friendly. Their services are also a lot more affordable than most moving companies in NYC. My partner and I have become loyal clients now, and we always know who to contact whenever we have a move coming up. I can't recommend them enough--just try them out and see for yourself! read more

Max and his team are on point. They are quick and will fit so much in the truck. Used them for out of state move. I would totally recommend them than any other mover as they are more personal and not a big company that's just going to charge you for no reason. Great price great people, bottom line read more

BG Moving - Movers Near Me

Moved with Max's team (BG Movers) about two weeks ago. The three guys were polite, efficient, and careful with both our belongings and the stairs/walls/floors. They came in significantly more affordable than several of the other services I looked at too, which was a perk. We moved from two apartments into a one bedroom. Easy to work with day-of; carefully navigated everything the building needed; I recommend these guys and would happily move with them again. read more

My whole experience with BG Moving was great. From the moment we received the quote to the day of the move, the owner of the company was very professional. He always answered our questions and gave us a great quote for our long distance move. The movers confirmed our scheduled mobe the day before, showed up on time, respected all COVID-19 protection guidelines and wrapped all furniture for best protection. The unpacking was equally fast, they even made sure to protect our carpeted floor by wearing shoe covers or removing their shoes, which we appreciated greatly. Having read about horror moving experiences, I was relieved that we managed to find BG Moving and will recommend them to our family and friends. read more

Best moving experience I have ever had. Polite, friendly and way more affordable than I expected for the quality of the service. Max and his team moved us so quickly with care and consideration. I will be using them for all my future moves! read more

I recently used BG Moving in a move at the end of January to move from the UES to Harlem. I, like many of you know that moving is stressful no matter what and in NYC we have a million moving companies to choose from to get the job done. Since I've owned a small business in the city for the pst 12 years, I did my research and wanted to give the business of my move to a small company. BG Moving had a great reviews. I received a quote for all my items (sent pictures over of the larger stuff) and mentioned the 3rd floor walkup for the pick up location. The morning of the move my partner stayed at the old apartment, while I took my baby to the new place to wait for everything. The move was rocky and sadly I cannot give them a 5 star review or say that I would recommend or rebook this company. Here are the issues I ran into: - They showed up 40 minutes late to the job. They did call me around 15 minutes late, saying they were close?!? - I was assured that all movers would be wearing masks and cover safe via email before the job. This was important to us, since we have a young baby. When they arrived at the new apartment 2 out of the 3 movers were not masked. I was a bit surprised and stayed in the babies room to keep social distance apart from them. If this was the case at the pick up location, I would've asked them to leave. We've been uber safe during the past year. - They left both doors into the apartment buildings taped wide open when they left both sites. Anyone could've come in and out of the buildings. - 2 items were broken, one they were able to repair onsite and the other I emailed the owner about after the move. - The quote included assembly and disassembly. They only did this for our bed, the legs of the couch and other items were left to us to do. Which was fine, if that wasn't in the quote of what we were paying for. I did reach out to the owner of the company before writing this review to also let them know about the masks/safety. I was really worried as our health was at risk after having them in our apartment. She did say the movers who weren't wearing masks won't receive full pay for the job (I'm assuming she'll keep the rest?). She refunded us $100, but to be honest I hardly feel that is fair considering the move was $950. We didn't want a full refund on the job, moving is work hard. We know that a 3rd floor walkup is no joke and lots of labor is involved. Having said that, we did expect some apology and understanding. Not excuses to why they weren't wearing masks, were late with trucks not being allowed on the FDR etc. I think a refund of $300 would've been fair with the multiple issues we had go wrong during our move. Sadly.. I wouldn't book them again and wouldn't suggest you do either. read more

BG movers were fabulous. They moved several large items ( e.g., heavy wood desk, large wall unit, love seat, baker's rack, tables, lamps and a rug.) from Manhattan to New Jersey. They were professional, friendly and reasonably priced. All the items were wrapped, boxed and treated with care, including fragile glass shelves. Nothing was damaged in the move. Max was also quick to respond to my texts and emails. He and BG were a pleasure to deal with. read more

I had an amazing experience with BG Moving. I was offered a great quote and they were very accommodating with my new building's insurance requirements as well. They arrived on time, made sure that everything was properly packed (wrapped with blankets furniture that wasn't protected) and quickly loaded and unloaded the track, also making sure that everything was placed where I wanted it in the new apartment. The move was quick and effortless and both movers were polite and friendly. All charges were reasonable and straight-forward (no hidden fees). Highly recommended! read more
