Hard to imagine a more successful moving experience. My move from upper Manhattan to southern Putnam County this weekend was nearly perfect. 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... read more

This was my first time hiring movers and J & G Moving exceeded my expectations! The move went so smoothly 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. read more

If you are looking for the best movers these are your guys. They came earlier then on time for my move. They are without a doubt moving ninjas. If I was in your position I wouldn't waste any more time looking further as this is the best it gets. They helped me so much and the two guys they sent were so nice. I can not say enough good things about them. They came with a multitude of supplies to ensure all my things were taken care of and the speed at which they moved was unmatched. I have a really large television and they managed to get it off the wall with ease. Lastly they have the best insurance and they sent me the COI that my building requested (luxury building)..I will be recommending them to all of my friends and family. In all honesty this was the best moving experience I ever had. I wouldn't have used any other company. If you don't contact them at least for an estimate you would be doing a dis-service to yourself. read more

I was very diligent in my search for a moving company, and honestly had the best experience with J&G Moving Company. Out of 10+ companies that I was recommended from my workplace and contacted, J&G had the best quote pricing while also having good online reviews. From initial setup to move-out to move-in, I was impressed with their professionalism and efficiency. When I first contacted J&G on Yelp, they were prompt in their responses through Yelp/email and had open communication/transparency by letting me know when to expect the COI or other details about the move. Later a day or two before the move, they made sure to confirm with me over the phone and also closely communicated with me for ETAs. During the move, they were prompt with their arrival and even came a few minutes earlier to scope out the parking situation. I appreciate that upon entering each of the movers were friendly, introducing themselves to us, and then immediately got to work. We had some unexpected issues with the move-out location's service elevator, and the J&G movers maintained good spirits, working flexibly to use the time to survey what supplies they needed to bring up to help with the move and also secured our large furniture pieces to save time. They brought ample moving cloths and I felt well-assured that several furniture items (adjustable standing desk, media console, large TV screen, and large desk monitor) were safe. They also helped us securely pack some small plants in a box with filler paper. When we realized that we had left dishware in the dishwasher, they were quick to give us one of the extra boxes they had brought. Each time they packed, if boxes weren't already sealed, I appreciated that they were considerate and would check in with us if it was okay that they closed the open box (only a few that we had left open for last minute items). We didn't ask them to, but I even saw that at our move-in location, they delicately dressed the bed with the bed skirt as it was originally at our move-out location, a testament to their attention to detail. All in all, I couldn't recommend J&G Moving Company enough. Though they are based in Astoria, we had such a smooth move from Jersey City to upper Manhattan. I am happy to know that the next time I move, I can save time researching different companies, and go with J&G Moving company because I had such a great experience and trust their service. read more

Update: I'm posting screenshots of the threats Jovan has sent me (keep in mind, all I did was post a short 1-star review, this is a truly puzzling response), including where he continued to harass me after I asked him to stop. Also included is a screenshot of the confirmation of availability and estimate I was sent. Review: J&G Provided an estimate and availability. I made plans for my move based on this communication, then they later changed their mind and said they are booked. read more

Boris and his crew moved me on 10/18/20. They showed up 5 minutes early -- the perfect amount of early. Each one of them was exceptional. They were all very friendly and polite. I chose J&G after communicating with and receiving quotes from at least 15 other NYC-area movers. J&G was the most responsive and provided the most reasonable rates. They were no BS, and very professional, which I appreciated a lot. I was charged according to the quote I was initially provided. If you're trying to figure out what movers to go with, go with these guys. Seriously. Message me if you have any questions! EDIT for COVID-19 concerns: The crew wore face coverings the entire move. I didn't have to ask them. read more

I had to move out in the middle of COVID (April 1) and I had to coordinate everything while I was quarantined in VA. My friends met them at my old apartment and they got there 10 mins before their scheduled 8am time (amazing!!) and moved everything into my new place in 1.5 hours (they were honest about how long it took them--they didn't say it took longer). NOTHING was broken in any of my boxes when I got back to my new apartment 2 months later (the person who packed up my stuff didn't secure breakable items). I cannot recommend them enough. Also, they are reasonably priced. Would've cost me WAY more if I went with another company that quoted me. I will definitely use them for every move I do in nyc and I have recommended them to everyone! read more

Good guys. Easy to work with. Great attitude. Responsible. Not sure what I need to say to get to 85 words.

I've moved with J & G twice, and my company has also moved with them. It has always been a seamless experience. Always on time, professional, friendly and helpful. And their billing is completely transparent. Highly recommended read more

Moving sucks. This was my first time moving which involved movers. I did my research via yelp and had countless companies contact me w their quotes. I had one bedroom to move from a house to a studio two blocks of travel distance and the prices that were quoted to me were ridiculous, maybe they weren't? But they were to me. I saw this company had great reviews and it said on here they are based in Astoria. I reached out to them, got a reply. Jovan sent me a quote via yelp (reasonable compared to the crazy ones I was quoted by other companies) also texted me when I had additional questions. I told Jovan some dates which I can move on and he told if I moved on a Tuesday he would help me with the pricing and he did! I was expecting the movers to get to my place at 9 am but they even came earlier! I had two movers Drago and Ivan. Both were amazing! Kept my anxiety levels down lol and did everything efficiently. Everything was done in on time. They were great! The only con I can think of is having to pay travel fee of $120. I forget what exactly I paid atm. Regardless of your distance from their company. 5 miles away from them or 100 miles it will still be the same price of $120. I still got a great deal from this company compared to the other companies that quoted me an arm and a leg for a "small" job. read more

J & G Moving - Movers Near Me

I contacted J&G through Yelp and they got back to me quickly with an hourly rate. I spoke to John on the phone and booked them shortly after. Nik and Drago arrived early on my move in day and worked hard getting all my stuff from one 3rd floor walk up to another. Everything was done in 4 hours. They even removed my apartment door to get the couch in and reinstalled it for no extra charge. The guys made the move stress-free and took such good care of my belongings. I highly recommend them! read more

These guys are awesome! We used them once before and they did a great job again. Full pack and ship went very smoothly. Showed up with a big crew and two trucks. Made fast work of packing and everything arrived without damage. So courteous and hard working. Highly recommended! read more

BY FAR THE BEST MOVERS EVER. I have worked with them for three moves now and recommend them to EVERYONE. Not only super professional, but so fast and caring. They care about protecting my things more than I do... They are also super nice and make moving actually FUN. I always used to dread moving and packing, but with J&G they make the entire process seamless. Really can't say enough good things about them! Thank you ALWAYS guys! - Jen read more

We have used J&G for the 3rd time now. They make moving an anxiety free experience. They packed expeditiously and with care. Boris and his team were phenomenal and we will definitely be using J&G for our next move as well. read more

I had an excellent experience with J&G and would definitely recommend their services. I moved within Manhattan and needed movers during the busiest moving season. After comparing prices, I found their rates very competitive and they were quickly responsive via email. They provided COI without issue. On the day of the move their crew calmed my nerves by being punctual, extremely courteous, and efficient! I have a complicated 4-poster bed and they disassembled and reassembled it in perfect condition. Also asked where I would like specific boxes, where to arrange furniture, etc. They easily navigated the various rules that are specific to Manhattan high-rise buildings. The crew was clearly experienced and had impeccable teamwork. There were absolutely no hidden fees when it came to the final billing. I will use J&G again for any future moves. read more

This was our second time using J & G moving, and again we could not have been happier! The team of movers were so friendly, professional and efficient. We all know that moving can be stressful, but Jovan and his moving team minimize that stress through their responsiveness to emails and phone calls, fair pricing, and kind manner. Highly recommended and will definitely use this company again! Gail S. read more

Great moving experience. Went far beyond expectations. Highly recommend this team for anyone who wants a hassle free moving.

Showing up before our appointed time, very capable, reliable and thoughtful, plus everyone is very friendly and willing to provide their professional opinionS. After all these, their price is still very competitive/affordable. Strongly recommend their moving service. read more

I recently moved from Manhattan to Stamford, and met the team from J and G. Let me just say, when I need to move again (which will be next year), I will be using them again. The price was right, the help was amazing, they were courteous, and worked tirelessly. We had an insane amount of stuff, including two tired kids, and they kept a stressful situation humorous. Nothing broke, ripped, or got lost. They helped unpack and they cleaned up. I had to let them go before they asked to go. I tipped them and they truly appreciated it. A job well done and you will be in my reccs for all future moves by my friends. read more

You guys were awesome! Showed up on time and went right to it and got everything moved very quickly. Also, didn't break one little thing. I would definitely recommend you to everyone and anyone. read more

I used J&G moving recently and had a great experience. The initial set up was very honest, friendly and helpful. Having and efficient booking process was a huge help. The move went very well also. Jovan and all of the guys on his team were super nice and hard-working. I'm glad I found these guys, by far my best experience hiring movers. Thanks again guys! read more

J&G was great. They were super responsive ( Jovan in the office), transparent pricing, flexible, and efficient. Nick and the crew showed up on time, wrapped everything I needed, brought their own hanger boxes to pack up my clothes on hangers (included in the flat rate), and paid special attention to the items I was most anxious about. I'd recommend them to anyone. read more

This is a great team- movers are courteous, professional and fast! Hired them for a move during COVID and they took all necessary precautions. Highly recommend! read more

These guys were awesome! Right on time, super efficient (NO wasted clocked time) and extremely professional. I was overall really happy with their work and pricing. I'm on a dreaded fifth floor walk up and they made the whole move a breeze. Would recommend to anyone in the Astoria area! read more

Arpi and his team were outstanding. They did not drop intensity for 12 HOURS! and got the job done without any damages. Pricing was great and they added an extra truck at no cost when the first one filled up. read more

One of the best moving companies I've worked with. John was honest and fair with pricing, he didn't try to push me one direction or the other, and he made scheduling the move easy for me. Nick and his crew got here on time and they literally worked non-stop for 5 hours. No breaks, no games, hard and efficient work. They had to use two boxes to pack stuff to make it easier to move, as well as about a dozen rolls of packing tape to reinforce my boxes and didn't charge me a penny over the agreed upon rates. They disassembled and reassembled furniture, wrapped and packed electronics, and respectfully asked where every box went in the house when they unpacked it. This could not have been a better experience. read more

This company and their employees are awesome and amazing for moving. I wanted to write this review..that's how good these guys are and they deserve it. We moved from a 2 bedroom apartment in LIC to a house in NJ (2 flights of stairs up from the ground). On moving day we had a lot of stuff which they ended up wrapping up nicely and collecting for us. They were very attentive and asked us what we wanted done, were great at communicating and very very friendly the entire time. They just had really great attitudes and were very patient even if we had to change our minds at the last minute. Just to give you some reference, our move happened on a hot 96 degree summer day at the end of August. The guys never complained once or took even took a break. It took about 9 hours in total and they were as courteous and kind at the end as they were in the beginning, just very nice and easy to work with which is huge during a move as you don't want any added stresses. Additionally, they were happy to troubleshoot things and never complained. As an example, I had a large IKEA pax frame that we wanted moved but they were not able to fit it and turn it successfully in our apartment hallway, so they just took it apart so that it could be moved at no extra charge. Also, when our crib couldn't fit in the doorway of our son's room, they just casually removed the entire door and put it back once they were done. There was never any hesitancy and they actually seemed cheerful when it came to dealing with these issues! The entire time they were professional, respectful and easygoing and took care of our stuff. Nothing was broken and everything was moved with care. They really worked hard to eliminate the stress of moving for us and made it very easy. Also, their boss was able to procure a COI for our building very promptly, answered all our questions quickly as well and was great at communication. They give you a no BS price which includes everything so you don't have to worry about getting nickeled and dimed for things like tolls/wardrobe boxes/COI etc. Bottom line, I cannot recommend them enough and will be recommending to friends and family, they were amazing! read more

They're worth every penny!!! They came on time, were reasonably priced, worked their asses off. I don't know where they get the energy. We weren't ready for them and decided to use their packing service as well, if it weren't for them we would take months to move. I ABSOLUTELY recommend them. They were also very nice and trustworthy. I can't say enough about them. Price was reasonable and none of my things were broken. AMAZING AMAZINGLY AMAZING!!!!!!!!! read more

We were skeptical at first of using movers but all that changed when we contacted J&G Moving. Moving from Sunnyside to Astoria on a tight timeline could be a chore but the staff were amazing from our first call (John) to the movers themselves (Boris, George, & Branko). Everything was moved within two hours (a miracle for a five floor walkup!) and all of our possessions were handled with care and in perfect condition! The staff were efficient, friendly, and charged exactly what they stated in the initial phone call. They made the difficult process of moving a pleasure which is something we never expected! We will never move ourselves again and will definitely make sure J&G is on the top of our list when we do. Thanks J&G! read more

From the moment I contacted J&G to inquire about my move from Astoria to Montclair, NJ, they were nothing short of professional and courteous, through & through! They let us know exactly how much we'd be charged, answered all of our questions, and confirmed the day and time of the move - without any hassle, whatsoever. When the day of the move arrived, the movers showed up to our apartment at 9am on the dot, and transported all of our belongings - without incident - supremely quickly. And to top it all off, we were charged precisely what were quoted. No hidden fees or extra charges. I don't typically write Yelp reviews, but we were so beyond impressed by J&G Moving. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutly amazing moving company. Their price is reasonable and their workers were fantastic. The guys that come to move us from Hells Kitchen to Woodside knew what they were doing, nothing was damaged! I will 100% use this company in the future and strongly recommend!! read more

It has taken me way too long to write this review! J&G Moving came to my rescue last September when I had to book them a few days before my 9/1 move. They were available, reasonably priced and punctual. In fact! They were able to get to me ahead of schedule and had me moved into my place in less than two hours. The team was friendly, professional, and were very well coordinated. Communication was smooth from day 1 to final payment. I never thought moving could be so pleasurable. Thank you to the J&G team - the only local movers I will ever use from here on out! read more

I used J&G for my move last month and had a great experience. The movers showed up right on time and were very professional and courteous. They were able to fit my couch through the door without having to take it apart. I also had a queen size Ikea lifting bed frame that was taken apart very quickly and carefully, and put back together perfectly at the new apartment. The hourly estimate included all services except packing boxes, and they also provided wardrobe boxes for free. Even though my move took longer than expected (not their fault, I underestimated how much time it would take), the end price was more than fair. I would definitely move with J&G again. read more

J&G moving was excellent! They responded to a quote request promptly, showed up on time, and were efficient and professional during the move. Best of all- there were no hidden fees/additional charges when we were finished! I highly recommend using them. Also, they were able to provide the necessary proof of insurance in a timely manner. read more

It was my first time using a moving company so I didn't know what to expect, and now I'm glad that I chose J & G. They were right on time, very courteous, and got the job done faster than I had anticipated. I don't plan on moving again anytime soon, but I'll definitely recommend their services to my friends. read more

I just used J&G moving for a move within Manhattan. These guys were amazing. I had such a terrible experience my previous move a few years ago with a different moving company so I was really worried about moving again. J&G provided all of the necessary COI to my buildings early and notified me once everything was confirmed. Boris and his team showed up early and were efficient and organized. I really couldn't believe how fast they got all of my boxes out of the apartment. I loved that they provided their own wardrobe boxes at no extra cost and moved everything on my hangers directly out of my closet and into the wardrobe boxes. They were friendly, down-to-earth, no BS guys that knew how to get the job done. After the movers left, I got a phone call from their office to make sure everything went okay. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a stress-free move. read more

J&G just moved us from a three bedroom second floor walk up in Astoria to a house in Delaware. We have zero complaints and not a single broken or damaged item. The team was not only on time but early for both legs of the move, absolutely courteous and so wonderful to work with. I cannot believe how fast and efficiently they worked. John was super responsive in the planning process and Drago and his team were amazing throughout the move. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone for local NYC moves or long distance moves. Very very pleased with our experience!! read more

We hired J and G for our move last weekend. The guys were incredibly nice, very professional and very quick. They wrapped everything before loading and we had zero damages. They also moved our things up a very narrow staircase with no issues. Our downstairs neighbor remarked at how quick and quiet they were. Would absolutely use them again and recommend to anyone!! Cheers guys! Great work!! read more

I used J & G back in June and they had the best bang for your buck - they had better pricing than other movers I was quoting and there wasn't a list of extra costs either; the price was what you see is what you get. We had 3 guys who, considering the situation (there were a few hiccups with parking on my new street, no one's fault and unavoidable) were very quick, efficient and willing to go above and beyond. They were very communicative and brought up any snags the second they came up. I would highly recommend them if you're in the area! read more

J & G is AMAZING!!!! Went way beyond all expectations!!!!!!!!!! These guys are the hardest workers I have ever seen. Friendly and super efficient. They even stayed after all the boxes and furniture were moved in and in place to help help me put together an ikea dinning room table and chairs BEST MONEY I HAVE EVER SPENT.....seriously I recommend them to EVERYONE!!!!!! read more
