Can't say enough good things about these guys. Really helped take the stress out of moving. Took apart the king size bed, put it back together. I thought the job was gonna take 3-4 hours, they did it in 2. Meaning they arrived at 8am, and were out at 10am, even with parking and travel. Before your move date, I highly recommend you contact your local parking authority to get "No Parking" signs beforehand, and consolidate as much stuff into as few boxes / bags as possible. (Extra large trash bags can come in really handy.). Pre-pack as much as you can 2-3 weeks in advance too. Last, I recommend you offer waters / snacks, and I think tipping guideline is about $20 / mover per 2 hours (they certainly deserved it). Thanks!! read more

Do I recommend Mark Catlow and his crew? 100%! They moved my belongings to a storage facility this week. They were professional, pleasant, and amazingly efficient. Simply put, the move could not have gone any smoother. Thank you Mark, for everything! I will definitely use you for my next move. read more

Way to go! Carlow made a very stressful move go super smooth. They actually called a little ahead of schedule to ask if they could move me earlier in the day. Absolutely yes. They arrived in minutes, packed my furniture and all my boxes and had me in my new condo under 2 hours. Everything was blanketed and wrapped. The bumps or dings. Staff was very professional. Highly recommended. read more

I've rarely used yelp for reviewing anything other than comida aka food! But Catlow deserves a tipping of the hat and a call back for whenever the next move may be! Certainly professional and timely and quick! I moved out of a 3 bedroom in JC and despite the fact that there were no parking signs put up by the parking authority, of course there's always going to be one that doesn't heed notices! Thankfully, their professionalism and commitment to getting the job done made them park 2 houses down and carry all of my furniture there! Patient? Without a doubt! They wrapped and protected everything! They have tools in hand for when that couch that was assembled in a room doesn't fit through the door, they handle it!! Prices are comparable and reasonable and everyone is so professional! My go to movers! read more

Catlow Movers - Movers Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

See all

We used Catlow for our recent move in Jersey City and were very happy with the experience. They arrived on time and worked quickly and efficiently. The crew was professional, respectful, and friendly and made an otherwise stressful day pretty pleasant. read more

I did some searching for movers in the Jersey City area and Catlow was one of the first ones I found on Yelp. The previous reviews were spot on, these guys didn't disappoint! One of their employees came to my apartment to do the estimate in August, and after I verified with them that I would use them, they gave me the info I needed: that I'd need to contact the Jersey City Parking Authority to obtain No Parking signs for my street so Catlow had enough space for their truck, and that I contact my new place so Catlow and them could exchange the COI (Certificate Of Insurance). They also stated that they move boxes and furniture, but will not pack any boxes (which is a given, but I figured I'd state that). Moving day was booked for Saturday, October 3rd. I had a move-in window at my new place from 11am to 3pm. Catlow said they'd be at my place at 8am to start the move. They arrived on time with six movers. We ran into a snag with the parking because people on my street lack reading comprehension, but it all worked out. They moved all of our furniture and boxes into their truck by 9.30am. We arrived at my new place by 10am and were allowed to start our move-in prior to my scheduled time, and we were all moved in by 11.30am. Fast, professional service. All of the movers were nice and helpful and very respectful of our belongings. The estimate was an exact match for the final total, as well. I'm very, very satisfied with Catlow and would highly recommend them to anyone. If and when we move again, I'll definitely be calling upon their services for a second time! read more

Catlow Movers are true pros and true to their brand of service excellence. I just used them yesterday for the second time. The team of 4 movers (all wearing face masks) showed up in front of my building a few minutes early ahead of schedule, and wasted no time getting to business. In under 30 minutes they had all my stuff moved out and onto their truck. At my new place they worked miracles; the stairwells up to my apt are narrow; the first one surprisingly so. I don't know how the hell they fanagled all my furniture and heavy items up there (in the sweltering heat, too) , but they did. They worked incredibly hard and didn't complain once. Start to to finish, I was fully unloaded in my new apt in 2 1/2 hours. In essence, Catlow ROCKED it! I am incredibly pleased with their service and professionalism and I will always highly recommend them. read more

Highly recommend Mark and his wonderful team! They showed up early, ready to go, and completed the job in under 4 hours. Moving can be stressful, Catlow made everything unbelievable easy and painless. 10/10 would use again, 10/10 highly recommend read more

My appointment was at 8 am and there were 2 trucks ready at 7:50am. There were 5 or six men, ready to work. Not once did they complain, huff of puff, all they asked was *Do you want us to take that? How about this? Do not lift that! We will take your fridge if you do not tell us not to..* They handled each piece of furniture with care. Moving can be so stressful, but due to their calm vibe, it was the best move I had EVER experienced. Best of all? They were FAST! They started moving around 8:30 (had to wait for the cops to remove some cars so they could park) and they had me in my new place (.9 miles away) at 12:30!!! Done deal! Summary: Punctual Considerate with your home and items Professional Pleasant t be around Fast Everything you would want and more in a moving company. Well deserving of 5 stars read more

While I did not use Catlow for our move, however they were one of the people I asked for a quote and the experience was great. The reason we did not use Catlow was because we needed a moving company that will pack up all of our stuff and Mark and his crew did not offer such a service. However, the consultation was great...Mark was a really friendly and honest guy; he was straight up about his pricing and his pricing WAS THE CHEAPEST of the 3 movers we priced out. If you are looking for a mover that you can trust, I would suggest giving Mark & Catlow's Movers a try. read more

Don't bother looking for other movers. CATLOW IS AWESOMMMMME. Marc came for the estimate on time and was done in minutes. Day of the guys came right as scheduled and were ready to go. It had just snowed a few days before and my landlord (wish I could yelp him) was not having the stairs swept (he pays someone) till much later. But the guys had it taken care of in no time. The guys were great and fun. They were friendly enough where it wasn't weird that they were messing in all my crap. We chatted it up and had fun while working - but never enough where it slowed us down. Best combo. Rocco noticed my ikea bed frame was set up improperly and made sure to fix it at new place. I also had a nice le creuset Dutch oven (shit expensive) that was unwrapped due to its siZe - so Louie wrapped it in a blanket and tape for me. Yeahhhhh. They even remembered the name of my stuffed koala bear by end of day (her name is Frances). I mean - they made sure to properly cover and protect all my crappy ikea furniture the same way they would for a person who can afford to buy preassembled furniture. TOP NOTCH FOR ERRBODY. I was charged $50 less than the estimate so that was a plus. I'm guessing they might be slightly higher in cost (honestly didn't look) than others - but you get the best service you could ever get from movers. By end of our time together I was glad to have it all done but bummed we had to say bye. It was a big day that could have been very stressful into a good experience. Shout out to Rocco Louie Dave and Marcus! Oh - make sure to note you're in charge of getting the moving signs from the city. And have some water bottles and donuts / snacks for them. :) read more

I contacted Catlow's based on the strength of previous Yelp reviews and you guys did not let me down. I called for a quote and Irv Catlow himself came to my apartment. On move day the crew arrived on time. They were polite and professional, and the foreman told me exactly what the plan was to get out all of my furniture and boxes. I have a LOT of stuff and was woefully under-organized. They even took my mattress and box-spring over a terrace railing when it wouldn't fit down the stairs! Irv estimated ~5 hours and the actual move including travel took exactly 4. The price didn't revise down but I think the speed and care with which they moved was worth it and I certainly wasn't gouged beyond what was already quoted. All of the guys have a great sense of humor and take pride in their work. They are really careful to check in every step of the way to ensure you're satisfied. When we discovered the floor in my new place was uneven in the spot I wanted the entertainment center, Rocco told me how to level it out and left my TV on the floor (with my permission) to make sure it didn't tip over until it could be fixed. As Katie S.noted, get your signs from the city to hold parking for the truck, it will make everything so much easier. One annoyance, which was as much my fault as theirs - If you're paying by credit card you have to give over the phone in advance or go to their storefront on Summit Ave. I didn't know and they don't have a cc machine on the truck so I had to run to the bank for cash or bank check. Luckily it wasn't far away and the guys were really nice about the short wait (it probably didn't hurt that i'd already tipped them). Thankyou to Rocco and his crew. I would definitely use Catlow's again. read more

They really did a good job with my move. I moved out from the fourth floor and into a second floor... both walkups. Both a pain in the A$$. Most of the other not so local movers not only gave me the business they also wanted to charge an astronomical sum for a small amount of stuff without even walking thru the places. These guys on the other hand gave me a fair price and an easy moving day. They place boxes where you label them, bring enough men for the job AND they even come in UNDER (THATS RIGHT UNDER) the estimated time. Highly recommended. If there's only one bad thing its that they are hard to find out about! I wish I had known about them in my last 6 or 7 moves.... Would have saved me time or back pain.... If your moving in JC I say you just found the place. read more

I've used Catlow a few times and would highly recommend them! Friendly, efficient, on-time.

Great moving experience I must say. We found Catlow here on yelp! After inquiring 3 other companies for a quote, Mark came the very same day my wife called for a quotation rate! At the end we decided to have them as our movers!! And we could not be happier! They arrived 1hr early and unfortunately our last building did not allow them to use the elevator until 10am! But Mark was super nice, explained they were going to wrap furniture and boxes in the mid-time and they did not complaint!! (about the elevator) They were awesome! Very helpful and polite guys! by 9:55am 90% of the boxes were in the hallway waiting for the elevator!! 2.5 hrs later we were out of 70 Greene!! Their written estimate is fair and not over the top like other companies!! No hidden charges! By the end of the day that is what you pay! Nothing was missing or damaged as they are careful and professional! The was no communication issues either! They even vacuum 1 of our rugs before taking it to the truck!! All the boxes were labeled and they are now where they should be! If you live in Jersey City or any surrounding area you should hire them! We HIGHLY recommend Catlow as your movers! You wont be disappointed! They are awesome. read more

Catlow Movers are awesome! There was a torrential downpour coming the day of our move, so Mark came down to help out the crew and get us moved more quickly. They were super prompt, got right to work, and everyone work a mask (for Covid-19 reasons). They worked really quickly and efficiently and asked where everything should go in our new place. They also didn't add on tons of extra costs at the end of the move like lots of other moving companies do. Highly recommend Mark and his team! read more

I moved four years ago from Weehawken to Jersey City and had a very positive experience with Catlow, so I hired them again this past week to move me into my new home. There were again punctual, professional, and personable. All of my belongings got to the new place, nothing was damaged, and I was charged exactly what I was quoted. I hope to not move again for a very long time, but if I do I will definitely hire them again. Moving is stressful but these guys make the process soooo much easier! read more

I've used Catlow Movers twice (Fall 2016, May 2017), and I very highly recommend. They are a multi-generation family-owned business right in JC Heights. Mark Catlow is just such a decent guy, their crews are great, he came by personally both times to check on the jobs, great communication throughout from the time of booking til the job is done, and their prices are competitive. I will definitely use them again for any moving jobs. read more

Catlow Movers arrived 15 mins early on the day of my move. They carefully and quickly loaded my things. While the guys drove to my storage, I stopped by the office and paid the owner with a credit card. By the way, the price quoted was the final price. The guys placed my things in storage carefully. They were friendly and professional. I would definitely use Catlow again. read more

Needed movers to help me unload my truck and Mark came through. Within an hour everything was completed and no issues. Thanks.

These guys were awesome. They moved an extremely heavy antique armoire the old fashion way with straps and brute strength. They were very cautious not to bang it or damage it in any way. They were also less expensive than any other mover. I'd definitely use them again read more

These guys are the experts. How often can you positively review a moving company? Once. Catlow. After so many other disaster experiences this was a breath of fresh air. Irv made a conservative estimate of hours and ensured I had gotten the "no parking" signs posted here in Jersey City. When the crew arrived, it was very fast and efficient. 4 guys, each with different strengths. They disassembled everything, took it down to the truck, and for a one-bedroom apartment it went very quickly (maybe 2 hours tops). They had to park the truck about one building down from our new place, because the cops were slow to tow a guy out of the spot we had reserved. Problem? Pssh. The guys took the stuff out of the truck, down one building, and up the stairs anyway! They were done by the time the cops got there. Super quick, friendly and efficient. Highly recommend. read more

I used Catlow Movers for an in-town move in Jersey City. They were very professional and diligent about making sure that none of our belongings were damaged throughout the moving process. They were also very helpful in getting all of our furniture situated in our new place, even though we didn't know where we wanted it at first. The folks who work for this company were very willing to help and make sure that we had an excellent moving experience. read more

Catlow had us out of our apartment in Bayonne and completely moved into our house in Lyndhurst in just over 90 minutes. Couldn't have asked for a better move! read more

I just moved from a high rise to an upstairs apartment and Catlow executed both settings perfectly. The president of the high rise even said they should be the prime example for all moving companies in how orderly and respectful they all are. Mark has been great since day one. The crew is funny and personable and VERY into what they do. The price was fair and they definitely deserved what they asked for. It would have been nice to know that the estimate based on the hourly rate was a minimum at the onset, but the way these guys work, how professional they are, and how careful they are... and especially how much they hustle.. they are well worth it. They are a 5 star company for a reason. Thanks Catlow!! read more

I truly cannot imagine an easier, more seamless, low-stress move than the experience we had last weekend with Catlow Movers. The owner himself came out a few weeks ahead to check out the apartment and give us an accurate quote. I had gotten multiple quotes and his was right in line with what I had hoped/expected, and significantly lower than some of the others I had received. When he left, my husband and I knew we had made a great decision. On the day of the move they were on time to the second of when they said they'd arrive. 4 guys came, and they had cleared the apartment in a fraction of the time I had expected, and taken amazing care of all of our furniture. The move into our new home was even faster, and they set everything up where we wanted AND even took up a big piece of furniture that was delivered while they were there. Catlow and his team seriously went above and beyond our expectations and I couldn't recommend them more. read more

These guys were great! Right on time, and they brought plenty of hands. They were very careful with our fragile items, and helped us set up the rooms. Super friendly, too! For our 1800 square foot apartment, it was just under $1,000. Not bad, considering how much was moved. read more

I recently used Catlow Movers when moving from Hoboken to Union City. They were on time, efficient and extremely nice. My new place is a 3 floor walk up and they didn't complain and were so fast, despite the heat. They're also reasonably priced, and furniture is handled with care. Highly recommend! read more

I wish we could give two different ratings - one for the staff who actually do the work (5 stars!) and another for management (1 star). BEWARE! The price estimate you are given, which is based on the number of hours which one of the owners estimates the job will take, is the minimum charge. My move took a full hour less than estimated, and yet I still had to pay for the extra hour for all three movers (which is not cheap!) Therefore, it's free money for the company to always over-estimate how long your move will take. To add insult to injury, when I called the owner after the move was finished to ask him about the extra hour charge, he was rude to me. It is also worth mentioning that the movers showed up to my apartment a full hour late. The men who actually physically moved my stuff, on the contrary, were excellent! They wrapped my furniture, were very careful of everything, and were very pleasant and helpful. read more

Smoothest move, ever. We moved about 25 miles from a storage unit to a new apartment in Jersey City and these guys would have done it in 3 hours, including travel and packing time had the fire alarm not gone off in our new highrise the minute we arrived. Despite the 45 minute setback, they spent every minute organizing and unloading the truck and were ready to go the second we were allowed back in the building. Plus they didn't charge us for 20 minutes we went over on an hour due to the unavoidable fire drill delay. Want professional, mature, efficient, careful and all around nice people to move you in the Hudson County/Jersey City area? Call Catlow. Thanks Mark, Irv and team! read more

Overall my experience was okay. The move was smooth. The reason I only have 3 stars because I was not happy that they charged me more the estimate quote. They said because they took more time to move, so I was charged with the extra time. The movers came to my old apt at 8AM on the move day when I was not expecting them till 8:30-9. I called the day before the move and told him to come earlier but I did not expect they were 30 min earlier. So instead of packing stuff in my old apt before they could use my elevator in my old apt, they were just hanging out in the lobby. Then one of the movers wanted my old furniture since I was just going to throw it away. He spent time packing my old furniture and guess what? Time was wasted there. Then they did not help me throw away my big bag of trash in my old apt when they told me they would. So I had to go back to my old apt and threw it away myself. I was happy with Mark who came to my apt and accommodate my work schedule when I asked him to come for estimate. But I just was not too happy with the fact that they charged me more because they took more time. Hello, if one of your movers did not spend time packing my old furniture that he wanted to take home with him and the guys did not waste time in the morning just chatting in the lobby while they could be spending time packing, perhaps they would not waste as much time and then turned around and charged me for that. And guess what? I gave good tips too! Oh well......and reason why I hired Catlow was because of good review on Yelp......... read more

I used Catlow to move from a large home to an apartment (and storage unit). They were fantastic. Mark and his crew were extremely professional, punctual, efficient and handled my furniture with care. They packed my storage unit and unloaded to my apartment perfectly. I plan to use them again for future moves. read more

I researched movers online (including yelp) and shortlisted three movers to give an in-house quote. Catlow, Moovers and Moishe's. Mark (who owns Catlow Movers along with his father) came in person at 7:30 AM to provide a quote to me to accommodate my work schedule. He is really smart and straightforward, provided honest answers to whatever I asked. His quote wasn't the lowest, but with a five star rating on yelp, I decided to go ahead with them and the decision was a good one. On the moving day, his men were on time, very fast and professional. They patiently wrapped our furniture in shrink wrap/paper pads and also paid attention to the boxes we had marked Fragile. They started at around 8:30 AM at our condo apartment at the Beacon, and worked without taking a break till the work was done around 2:10 PM at Hoboken NJ (including commute). Their truck was clean, and other material used by them was well maintained. I watched my boxes and furniture as they carried them into the destination and not even one showed marks of wear, as much as a scratch, which showed how well they had handled them. Finally, for the part that impressed me the MOST! The time taken was 1 hour and 10 minutes in excess of Mark's quote, which clearly had words "NON BINDING" which means they are entitled to charge more if they took more time. But he honored a NON BINDING estimate, and charged me only what he had wrote on that yellow piece of paper. Talk about honesty and integrity, to stand behind your quote. Obviously, I tipped his good men generously, but my move was within the budget that I had outlined because of this excellent moving company. I am so happy with my decision to trust reviewers on yelp.com for making this decision. Kudos to Mark and Erv (his father). read more

Mark came out to do a pre-move estimate. He was timely, professional and spot on with the quoted price. The move was awesome. They worked hard. They worked fast. They were nice guys with an excellent work ethic. Pretty much all you could ask for. I would use them again for any move. Thanks for the painless experience. read more

We used this company to move from Union City to South Jersey and everything went flawless. The price that was quoted was the price we ended up paying unlike experiences I have had with other movers. Mr Catlaw advised us about getting no parking signs for the day of the move nothing I had even thought about. Anyway, they were prompt, professional and courteous. I would recommend this company to my mother. read more

Exceeded my expectations! The crew was friendly and very careful with my items... also super cautious about walls and doors which I appreciated. The guys were fast & efficient! Estimate price was very fair and affordable. I would highly recommend Catlow Movers for your next move! read more

Mike & his team were great. Amazing service!! They arrived right on time and were very professional. We hired Catlow based on Yelp reviews and the move was seamless. Please don't bother looking for other movers. I highly recommend them! read more

Very professional and polite owner and movers. Also priced competitively. Would highly recommend.
