This was my first time using a moving company and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. Having heard many different types of stories, I was a bit concerned going in - price, availability, dependability, etc. And I'm a researcher. I vetted several companies and Intense Movers was: -The best price by FAR -Speedy with emails -Accommodating with my requests I mean, what else can you ask for? I had several changes throughout the process like the items I would need to be shipped (within Astoria) and they got back right away with the updated price and/or information. When it came to the day of the actual move, they were a few hours early which didn't matter because I made myself free just in case this happened. They came in their colorful truck and did the entire job under an hour (including wrapping my mattress, table, chairs, etc.) Make sure you do your part. Make sure everything is ready to go because these guys aren't packing your stuff. They're moving it. They were so awesome and great to chat with. If it's under a certain range you have to pay in cash which I didn't mind. No damage to any of my belongings. I would definitely recommend them (and already have!) to others. Stress free on my mind and my wallet. read more

A great moving company! I needed a small job done and in a short amount of time. They responded quickly and efficiently, and the movers did a great job!! I am very impressed, it was not stressful at all and we ran into no issues! Thank you guys!! read more

Cisse & team were great. Fast, friendly, careful. Couldn't have made it any easier.

We used Intense Movers for the second time this past June. Siri, PJ, and Richard were awesome. Super friendly guys who had the right balance of banter, cheerful attitude, and a desire to get things done quickly. They treated our stuff really well and were really responsive to some of our specific requests (certain boxes to be packed last, placement of boxes and furniture within the new apartment)--really great team. Unfortunately, our new apartment isn't working out, so we're going to move again shortly. Will definitely use Intense Movers for a third time. read more

i never write reviews, but i have to give a huge shout out to Brandon and his team. They arrived right at 9am and were ready to go. they moved my one bedroom from a fifth floor walkup to a 3 floor walk up in 3 hours flat, without a single complaint. and it was FREEZING to boot! everything arrived in perfect condition. i had them deconstruct my bed, and they organized everything so well that it was a snap to put back together. the pre-work was flawless, with super quick replies and clear communications. definitely the most competitive quote that i received. would 100% use again, and recommend to others! read more

These guys are absolutely awesome. I've used them twice now. Everything here is top notch: - Good, quick communicators, gave me clear instructions and a good guideline - Worked with me on estimating my inventory and even allowed me to edit until 5pm the night before (and changed the price!) - GREAT price, seriously I shopped a ton and they were the best flat rate I found (you have to pay a portion in cash) - Polite, helpful, nice movers, who were super careful and considerate of my time and property - FAST, these guys got a day I was absolutely dreading would be an 8 hour affair done in like 3.5 - Very flexible, and straightforward about what they could and couldn't do and why Just a no bullshit, set of good guys who know what they are doing, and are good at it. Give 'em a call. read more

Having used more than ten moving companies over the years, I can say that Intense Movers is the best by far. Today was the second time we used them and the service provided by Shane and Sammy was fantastic. They arrived 15 minutes before the scheduled time, and they were both professional, polite, and hardworking. Setting up the move was a good experience too. The process was simple in that they took a thorough inventory through e-mail and provided a flat fixed rate which we found reasonable. We made a number of revisions to the initial inventory and they responded very quickly, often after business hours. Intense Movers truly reduced the stress of our move. We will continue to use them for all our future moves. read more

Wish I could give these guys more than 5 stars! The entire reservation process was a breeze. Everything from the quote to the reservation was done via email so there was no possibility of miscommunication. I received a fixed quote that was guaranteed no matter how long the move took, and it was hundreds of dollars cheaper than their competitors. Unfortunately the only time slot available on my moving day was in the afternoon (between 3:30-4:30), but it was my fault for waiting so long to book. However, on the day of my move, Dukes gave me a call and asked if I wanted to start my move early--of course I said yes. Dukes and Antonio helped move me, (a pack rat with a lot of stuff), door to door, in two hours flat. That included a bed, futon, wardrobe boxes, and numerous smaller boxes. They also helped me move an old box spring, large dresser, and humongous cat tree downstairs to the garbage as well. I simply have no idea how these guys are so efficient. Thank you Intense Movers for saving me time and money and helping make the moving process suck a little less! I highly recommend them! read more

Lev and his team are amazing. We had an excellent experience from start to finish. I got so many quotes, and they were not only the most reasonable, they were so easy to deal with all the way through. I was able to add to list up til the day before. On the day of the move, they arrived promptly, and were so friendly and easy to work with. They were experienced and used all safety protocols for COVID. In the future, I will only contact Intense Movers for a move, no need to look anywhere else! read more

Intense Movers are as good as other reviewers claim. The estimation and quote were quickly completed through email. Flat rate pricing was fantastic. They were very responsive through email, and I was able to adjust the quote up until the last day. Everything was super clear. Movers Nick and Simmons were awesome. They texted me before arriving, then arrived exactly on time. They easily accommodated a few of my move requests (which made their move a bit harder). The move went smoothly and efficiently. And they wore a mask the whole time. I highly recommend Intense Movers to anyone. read more

I was able to set up a appointment with Intense Movers rather easy. Just had to fill out there questionnaire on-line took a couple minutes. Got a call back from a rep with a reasonable price quote. I ordered (3) movers to load a moving truck. Xavier/Robert/Matt showed up at the appointed time on schedule. Packed a 12foot moving trunk for me in 2hrs flat. Amazing job!!! They where able to Tetris my stuff into the truck and organzine things to perfection. Friendly guys and were always professional. Kudos to you guys and thanks again gentlemen!!!! read more

Intense Movers - These guys are INTENSE!!!!! Left to right - Xavier, Robert and Matt... great guys and very hard working. - Movers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

These movers were absolutely THE BEST! They were responsive and very helpful. The team communicates entirely over email which made it nice to be able to go back and update the inventory. On moving day, they came early and did a great job of wrapping up my furniture. The guys worked very quickly and moved my one bedroom apartment in a little under 4 hours including travel time to the new place. They were just genuinely nice guys to work with and made a typically very stressful day much more relaxed. Of course, they wore masks and gloves the whole time. The best part was the price. They quoted me at about half the cost I was getting from other movers. I couldn't be more happy with them and would recommend them to anyone! read more

I used Intense Movers for the 3rd time this past weekend. They are seriously the best and I cannot image using a different moving service in NYC. Not only are they affordable but they are professional and FAST!! If you're thinking about it - just book them you wont regret it! Dukes and Forbes were my movers this time and they handled my things with care but were also super fast and efficient! They even took extra steps in making sure my Peloton bike was moved properly without damage. I cannot recommend Intense Movers more! Thank you!!! read more

I've used intense movers for 3 (soon to be 4) of my moves and I highly recommend them. I've had nothing but positive experiences with them. They are incredibly efficient and treat every object carefully. Their prices are also very reasonable especially because their quality of work is so high. Takes a lot of stress off knowing my move is in good hands! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! We desperately needed last minute movers. Intense Movers was recommended by a friend. I called them and spoke to Alex who was incredibly helpful. He found a time slot for us the next day and took a thorough inventory of our furniture and boxes. He went out of his way to help me after hours on a Friday night. He also provided me with multiple quotes so I knew how much the move would cost and how long it would take depending on how many movers we hired. We got 2 movers for a great price - I never felt like they were trying to take advantage of my desperation. The next day, Kirk and Kojo showed up to move our stuff. They did an amazing job! They arrived on time and expertly managed the difficult traffic on our street. They handled all of our items with care and got the job done quickly. This is a great moving company and I will definitely be calling them for any future moves. read more

I've used intense movers three times. Each time was as equally great as the last, if not better. Very responsive and easy to communicate with. The movers are very knowledgeable and efficient. Not a scratch or ding on any of our furniture. I would recommend them to everyone!! Thank you! read more

Intense Movers were affordable, honest, and upfront throughout the entire inventory process. They quoted me several different options and were incredibly responsive. I cannot say enough great things about Steve and Cojo, as they took on a particularly difficult move (both mentally and physically). They were professional, organized, and timely throughout the entire move and I couldn't be happier. Great team! read more

Fast courteous and fair. A real pleasure to work with. Transparent fees and great communication.

As a person who hates talking on the phone, I absolutely love this company's policy of only communicating via email. Friendly, professional, very reasonable pricing, and they even helped me take some furniture out of shipping boxes after moving in to my new apartment. I really appreciated how detail-oriented they were and I will definitely be using Intense Movers in the future! read more

I've moved 3x with this company and each time it's been smooth and a great value. In advance of my move, the staff provided a thorough and speedy quote with loads of helpful FAQs. Any follow up questions were answered quickly and with clarity. On 10/1, I had 3 guys who were incredibly professional and efficient. They arrived on time. Nothing was damaged. And they even checked with me on where to place items in my new home so I didn't have to move heavy items on my own later. read more

Intense Movers - Movers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Fantastic service: professional, efficient, friendly, top notch communication and the most reasonable quote I received to move a small loveseat between Stamford and Astoria. In and out of both the pickup and destination location in 30 minutes. What more could you ask for? read more

Moving is one of the hardest things one has to do in life. These guys made is easier. I couldn't recommend them more highly. In addition to moving all my items they also packed for me. Not a single item was damaged in the move. All items were placed with care in the new apartment. They were on time and professional. Also a great value in comparison to what I was seeing from other companies. read more

These dudes are the REAL DEAL! Third time using this moving company. Santos, Rob, and Antonio were so good! Was so happy and appreciative!

We used Intense movers for a small job. They responded quickly and the cost was reasonable. They were very efficient setting up the move. The movers arrived on time and were very careful and courteous. We highly recommend them. Five stars +++ ! read more

I chose their company base on their reviews as I believe we need to share our experiences. The part before moving which included sending quotes and insurance was fine. They sent three movers, 2 off them wearing mask/bandana all the time one just occasionally. They asked one of us to watch the truck for this move. I agreed to pay for assembly and disassembly 260$ for my wardrobe in advance. The movers informed us that the most efficient way for them to disassemble the wardrobe was to break it (as it was damaged by them while they were disassembling it). They claimed that they would whether fix it or purchase a replacement part and install it and I assumed it means on the same day, so we agreed. However, they did not follow through on their promise and three weeks later, the wardrobe is still broken. We requested that they either follow through on their promise or reimburse this amount, plus the value of the wardrobe that they broke (sent an email to their customer service). They have done neither of these things, which reflects poorly on their company. I recommend if something similar happens to anyone with this company please don't trust them and pay, wait until they fix their mess!!! read more

This company is phenomenal. From the estimators/booking agents to the movers, everyone we interacted with was professional, accomodating and friendly. Their response time was lightning fast, as was the move itself. Santos & Kenny moved our 1 bedroom apartment in 2 hours flat! They were so flexible and reasonable to work with. They really made our move as seamless and stress-free as possible. I cannot recommend them highly enough! read more

Moving with Intense Movers easy. They charged a flat rate, although that didn't include furnishing a COI to my building, nor for tolls. They required a very specific inventory, which I filled out via email. They responded very quickly via email as well, including after I had forgotten some things off of my inventory. They didn't raise the price to add these few minor items to the inventory. They were professional: they arrived on time, had masks, thanked me for packing my boxes thoughtfully, brought lots of blankets, plastic wrap and packing tape to secure my bulk items, moved quickly, and didn't break anything. They did leave behind some tape and plastic wrap. It's a cash business, and I would have appreciated the ability to pay by card, but they also didn't take a deposit so I won't complain. read more

THE BEST! From the planning process to them working a miracle and getting my large sofa through a sharply angled entryway door. Super responsive and helpful in getting a quote, updating inventory, and planning overall. The actual move was seamless and the guys were super personable and kept me updated throughout the whole day. No need to shop around. They are your best bet. read more

I've never used movers before although I've moved close to 9 times in the last 10 years. I was recommended by a friend, and I am so incredibly happy I trusted Intense Movers. The quote process was thorough, fast and helpful when planning my move. The guys were so friendly, so fast and had great attitudes. It was a real pleasure working with this company and I will definitely use them again!! Highly recommend!!! Thanks Intense Movers for taking the stress out of moving!! read more

These guys were fantastic from start to finish. Reached out to them for a quote, and they responded with a very detailed questionnaire. That might seem like a turnoff, but it really helped them to capture what was entailed in our move, and it boosted my confidence that they gave a very accurate quote. (Our quote only changed later because we changed our quantities of boxes, and even then, was still very competitively priced.) We had sought out quotes from Piece of Cake and RVS Movers and Intense Movers was waaaaay below their initial quotes. Come the day of, they brought 2 smaller trucks, just in case - as they didn't want to risk everything not fitting into 1. It was a good thing they did it this way too, because it was a madhouse around our LIC apartment building, and 1 large truck would not have even found a space to double park, but the 2 smaller trucks did. Brenden, Keith, and Carr were on time, super organized, and efficient. They had a solid plan for rotating the dollies out, and we were out of the building an hour ahead of schedule. This all happened while it was pouring rain too. They wrapped all of our furniture, and shrink-wrapped the more delicate items. Other than one lamp (which was from IKEA and from my college days) everything survived unscathed. Once at the house, they were equally expedient (but still careful with all of our belongings). The bill came out exactly to what they quoted. We didn't use all of their services (they also offer to disassemble and reassemble for a fee) but we're very happy with what we got! Many thanks for making our move much less painful. We couldn't have done it without you! read more

Throughout the process, the entire IM team did an amazing job and turned a usually hectic process into one that was easy and stress free. They were extremely thorough and responsive in generating a fairly priced quote for me (especially compared to what I got from peers), and were flexible in making changes, providing a COI and complying with COVID related requests from my building. On moving day, Dukes and Chris arrived early (something I've never experienced before with movers), moved everything safely and quickly, and went above and beyond to get everything unloaded and set up in my apartment. Great experience and highly recommend IM to anyone moving in Manhattan. read more

I feel conflicted with this review because it was a unique situation but here we are. -customer service was awesome and responsive. They let me make updates right before the move. -I didn't know that if it's not in a box, it can't be moved. I also didn't realize that you had to list every miscellaneous item that isn't a box (e.g trash can, vacuum, etc) -unique situation because I couldn't be there for the move into the new apartment. Day of move: movers arrived promptly early morning. I'm scrambling to finish packing, but they were nice about it. I tipped 50% ($100 per mover) because they were doing me a favor by moving more items than listed in the order. I also couldn't be there for the move into the new apartment so I gave the tip and paid before the move. My fault: not packing everything in boxes and generally being a hot mess by having unanticipated items Movers' fault: receiving a 50% tip but still not moving everything when they knew I had no other options (old landlord would dock my security deposit for items left in old apartment) and it was a special situation (I couldn't be there for the move into the new apartment or help move non-boxed items). I had a friend helping move some of the non-boxed items but he wasn't told that the movers were leaving some stuff behind. Lessons learned: pack everything in a box; don't tip $100 per mover or 50% and expect everything to be moved regardless read more

I have moved 3 times with Intense Movers. Each time was stressful for me but once they started and completed, I asked myself why I was so worried and stressed. They were great each time and I never had anything bad happened. They always had great attitudes and made my life easier. Thank you to Intense! I highly recommend them! read more

Really good experience with Intense Movers, probably my easiest/best move in NYC yet. I booked just 3 days before my move and they were really accommodating, but as others mention try your best to have the most accurate inventory list (you have until 5PM the day before your move to update it). They were also the most affordable. Quick responses via email. Moving day was a breeze minus some unforeseen issues with my huge sofa (Dwayne and the team realllllly tried). They also move pretty fast. No complaints. Thanks guys! read more

These guys were amazing!!! Special shout out to David and Ash. The whole process was incredible. I had several changes to make to my inventory and every time I emailed with updates they were super responsive. I was going from a 5th floor walk-up to another 5th floor and the guys took it in stride. They arrived on time and gave me a text heads up when they were close. At my new place there was some confusion with the layout of the apartment but they figured it out perfectly. Will definitely be returning for my next move!!!! read more

Intense Movers are the Best! I highly recommend this moving company! They showed up on time and did a great job with the move! After having major issues with other movers in the past I was very cautious when selecting my next mover. They came recommended by a co-worker that used them in the past, I so happy and pleased with their service. Lane, Straw and Ethan were AWESOME! Thank you, Teresa & Christine read more

Customer service was really good and follow up as well. Pricing did not work for us because we are out in Long Island, but their customer service was great read more

Recently moved from Williamsburg to Park Slope. Due to some timing issues I only had one day to find movers. Signed the lease on Monday and that day called up a bunch of movers to see if they could move me by the end of the month which happened to be the next day. Contacted Intense Movers by their website and within a few hours they sent me an estimate. Most of the interaction was done by email. I was extremely surprised they gave me a very reasonable estimate and was able to schedule a move the very next day. The movers were very efficient and handled my delicate items with care. The guys even helped with extra things they really didn't have to do. I highly recommend this place. I was very happy with their service and the easy and efficient way they handle the pre-move requirements and the professionalism of the movers. I will definitely recommend using their services. read more

Not only is this my first yelp review but this was also the first time that I decided to ask the help of a moving company. And because of the awesome experience I had today I feel compelled to leave a good review. I was referred to Intense by a good friend and I could not have been more pleased with the entire moving experience. Both the guys who showed up had great attitudes and immediately went to work. The final price was exactly what I was originally quoted and by the end of the experience I actually wanted to tip the movers more than 20% I will definitely be telling all of my friends about Intense movers and if you're not sure which moving company to hire, hire this one. You won't regret it. read more

Moving is a very stressful time and the Carlos and then guys from Intense Movers made it a smooth experience. The price was very reasonable and they were on time, friendly and efficient. The communication from the office was also great. I would recommend using this company for any moving need. read more
