I've used Kevin for the past few of my moves and he's my go-to when I move. (luckily, I have not moved that much, so I dont need him that much). I trust that I won't be charged an arm and a leg and I find the prices are reasonable and there hasn't been a time I've been hit with sneaky or unexpected charges. I've heard of crazy things like companies charging per box, etc - so I like that he charges fairly. Also, on the plus side, I think he's a local business - so I felt better actually hiring him instead of some huge company. Before my move, I asked 10 million questions and Kevin answered my questions promptly and didn't make me feel like pest (even though I probably was). One thing I will say that if you buy large bubble bubblewrap, they will wrap things for you, instead of charging you for using their own supplies. This was stated in an introductory email, but I missed it with all the craziness that comes with moving and I spent the day before moving running around trying to find large bubble bubble wrap. read more

Kevin is beyond great! I wish any business owner I deal with going forward would be like Kevin ! From speedy replies to my million emails and suggestion to which options to use and being so flexible and understanding I could not have even dealt with myself! Not once did I hear frustration in Kevin's voice or tone ( being in hospitality for all my career I know to pick up on fake kevin was truly genuine)but even the movers were courteous and well mannered and very time efficient not one piece was damaged yet treated with respect and care!!! I literally will recommend Kevin's moving for any of my friends doing moves!! read more

I just finished my 3rd move with Kevin and his team, and I couldn't be happier! In the pre-process, Kevin is always extremely responsive and reliable. On top of that, he's transparent and wants to make sure you get the best rate possible. Day-of, the team of movers were also very communicative, friendly, and the hardest workers! They were professional, wore a mask the entire time, and didn't stop moving until the job was done! Overall- you can't go wrong with Kevin! read more

I've been putting off posting a review about Kevin's Moving Service for over a year thinking my disgruntled feelings would subside over time but they haven't. I also think this information is important to anyone looking to hire Kevin's Moving Service. About a year ago my husband and I moved from a one bedroom apartment to a two bedroom. The first thing that the movers said to us when they arrived is that we had been over charged. They informed us that Kevin subcontracts out bigger jobs and we were over paying. They were telling us this because they didn't like Kevin and said we should contact them directly next time. (Um, no. We won't be doing that.) This started the whole experience on a bad foot. Who wants to be told at the beginning of a transaction that they are being taken advantage of? We were paying by the hour (rookie mistake on my part) and the guys were very chatty so everything took longer than it should have so we had to obviously pay more. They didn't wrap the items we asked them to wrap. They refused to move some things because they said it would cost us more to move them than the thing was worth. (Shouldn't that be my call?) They also left the hallway of our old apartment a total mess, empty water bottles and discarded tape everywhere. All of this I could overlook as a "you get what you pay for" but the thing I cannot forget is the incident couch. There was a right angle in the hallway leading into our new apartment and, horror of horrors, our couch wouldn't fit in the front door. Luckily there is a back door off the porch. I said that we should try the back door. The head mover guy didn't want to try the back door. His solution was to leave the couch on the sidewalk. I kid you not. That was his first and only solution. "We'll just have to leave the couch on the sidewalk". I asked over and over to try the back door. Without even measuring it he just repeated the line about leaving our most expensive piece of furniture on the sidewalk. Eventually we measured the back door, walked the sofa around to the back side of the house and, miracle of miracles, it fit. I hire movers to solve a problem for me. I hire them to perform a service that I cannot perform myself. I hire them to make my life easier. These guys made my life harder. They didn't solve the problem of the couch. Moving day is stressful to begin with. These guys gave me a panic attack thinking that my couch would be left out on the sidewalk as trash. They offered no real solutions to a very big problem (Take the couch back to the old apartment? Take the couch to a storage facility? Try the back door?) Instead they made the day so much worse than it had to be. My husband and I had to move the remaining items from our old apartment ourselves (the ones they said weren't worth moving) and then we had to clean up all the debris and trash in the hallway. It was around 8pm by the time we were done with the move. The movers arrived at 9am. We were moving only 10 blocks away. read more

A friend of mine enthusiastically recommended Kevin's Moving Service when I told him I was thinking about hiring a mover for my Manhattan to Brooklyn relocation. I'm happy to say that Kevin's Moving Service lived up to the hype! After reaching out to Kevin and giving him the rundown on my move, he provided me with a reasonable rate, and walked me through all the logistics that go into a move like this - insurance, parking, etc. He provided some super detailed FAQs that answered most all of my questions before I even asked them. I almost felt guilty on the day of the move, as I stood around sipping coffee while Kevin's team quickly descended on our apartment. The team took great care with all our belongings and got the truck loaded quick. For a reasonable surcharge they wrapped our TV, mattress, and some of our furniture. I appreciated the way they would add tape to some of our boxes, just to be safe. The whole move was done in record time. A move that I guessed would take 5 hours was done in just 3. I'm happy I went with Kevin's Moving Service and I will use them again in the future! read more

I'm a nervous mover, and always expecting something to go wrong, so I was pleasantly surprised when everything went right! I moved about a studio's worth of stuff from Stuytown/East Village (elevator building) to LES (2nd floor walkup). Kevin was communicative and prompt when it came to arranging everything, getting the COI, and payment. The movers came on time, but one of them (I was supposed to have 3) called in sick at the last minute. They were also from a company name I didn't recognize, which was a bit confusing, but they had all the details correct. They adjusted the price for me (it had been $375 for the first 2 hours and $75 per each half hour after that; adjusted to ~$290 for first 2 hours and ~$60 per each half hour after that), though, and thankfully my partner came to help me move and was able to "stand" in the truck at all times so parking wasn't an issue (as it can often be in Manhattan). The movers themselves were efficient and extremely professional, and we were done in 4 hours. Really just lovely people, and I tipped them over 25% for their extreme professionalism, which I always appreciate for things like moving. tldr: there were a few snags in terms of not recognizing the moving company that arrived on the actual day, and one mover called in sick at the last minute, but nothing which derailed anything--and above all, I had a smooth, fairly efficient move, where nothing broke, all for about 1/2 to 2/3 of the price other companies had quoted me! Would use Kevin's service again! read more

Very responsive during the planning phase and the movers on the day-of were great. The move was done quickly and furniture was wrapped well. read more

Our family used Kevin's moving service for a move from Queens to Manhattan. The reason I used Kevin is primarily due to his personal attention to the overall service. I have used Kevin's service before and I knew what to expect from his service. The crew showed up on time and acted professional. The pricing is not the cheapest, however it is reasonable in NYC. Overall, I would recommend Kevin if you are looking for a reliable company. read more

This is the second time I've used Kevin's service and everything was just as smooth and hassle free as the first time around. The movers were personable, polite, and super speedy! They wore masks and took great care of our items. Kevin himself was also super helpful every step of the way. I hope I don't have to move again anytime soon, but if I do I know I'll definitely be using this service again. read more

This is the second time using this establishment to move within the last three years. It's the least stressful move I've ever had. The crew is very professional and skilled at what they're doing. Highly recommend!!! read more

Kevin's Moving Service was recommended to my by my sister and I must say I was not disappointed. The movers were very professional and polite. They were very careful with my items and were considerate of my neighbors. I highly recommend Kevin's Moving Service hands down. I would definitely contact them for any future moves. Keep up the great work! Jenny read more

I have a pretty major move ahead and was super happy to have come across such a great business owner. I spoke with Kevin directly and genuinely hate that I couldn't work with him. He was extremely knowledgeable and transparent and didn't try to push me to into making decisions that don't make sense for my move. He even gave me great advice about what to look out for as I complete my move and I genuinely appreciated him sharing his time with me. If customer service means anything to you, 100% go with Kevin. read more

Kevin was super helpful and explained everything in detail during my initial conversation with him. More importantly he didn't try and rip me off like the 4 other sleezy guys I called first, very reasonable with pricing and completely professional . The guys did a fantastic job and barely stopped the entire time, hustled to get the job done in about 4 hours and change. I had my things put in storage, will use them again for when I move into the new place . Highly recommend. read more

Kevin recently did a move for me from NY to FL. I cannot say more positive things. On both ends of the move the movers were there ahead of schedule. They wrapped everything perfectly all of my things were in the same condition. It was a relief to know my things were not going to be moved on and off of a truck multiple times and to have an uncertain delivery window. I cannot thank Kevin and his team enough!!! Thank you to the moon and back!!! read more

They did a nice job. Late, but it didn't matter. The guys were very polite, and wrapped everything carefully. Im always nervous moving and have had bad experiences, but this was totally good. read more

I have coffee and bottled water prepare for them and they were very gracious. Fast and efficient workers. They asked though if I could add more tip. Understandable since I have a million dollars of tiny boxes that they had to carry. Lol! read more

I can't say enough good things about Kevin's moving service. They came right on time. Moved everything from my daughter's apartment quickly . Very nice guys who were extremely professional. They gave her an estimate right away. It was fast and easy. Would definitely use again and highly recommend. read more

Used Kevin's service to help pack a POD... Labor only. These guys were pro's. I would definitely use them again. They worked fast and quick and didn't try to slow down to stretch another hour out of my wallet. If you need help moving - call these guys, you won't be disappointed. Cheap, fast & amazing. read more

A big Thank You to Kevin for such a fast, stress-free move from my home to the Public Storage unit the other day!! I couldn't believe how you picked-up those big heavy boxes like they were feathers, then managed to fit them all fit into my tiny storage space! And I appreciate you squeezing me at the last minute! I'll definitely call you next time I make a move! read more

This was my 2nd time using Kevin's moving service and they once again came through like rockstars!! If you are in Astoria, please please make sure to use them! He really took time on the phone to be very thorough with me about my move and what all my needs were. As long as I'm living in Astoria, they will be my go-to!! read more

my uncle has been chilling over seas since the pandemic hit and now he wants to have his furniture and whatnot to go from one apt in astoria to his home in long island city and i called kevins moving service . the rate i was quoted was the rate i paid and the job was done in under 3 hours and nothing was broken or lost. the furniture and all the other junk unck wanted sent to his home was neatly placed in the living room . glad i called this moving company cause i didnt feel like hauling all this sh#t myself and didnt mind paying the professionals to do it instead. overall 4.5 stars on my yelp meter. read more

Kevin was recommended to me. I wish I could give them 10 stars. Fantastic process from the start to finish. I was given instructions to call Kevin directly if any concerns in the process. But of course it was smooth as butter! Fast, efficient and luxurious. Three gentlemen arrived like ninjas and made everything super easy. My belongings were packed securely and beautifully. They really cared about the fragile items too! Definitely great experience! Thank you and thank you! read more

Last night millions of revelers gathered in homes, bars and lounges around New York to welcome the first light of 2012. You would think that in the aftermath of such a worldwide frenzy of alcohol, drugs and random hookups, no human would have the wherewithal or the appropriate BAC to drive a moving van to help a poor soul. Kevin did. And he did so with efficiency. I do have to say one thing, however. He ran 1.5 hours late, but kept in contact with me throughout so I would know when to expect him. No gripes there. I would definitely use him again. read more

Kevin is incredible. I will never again entertain the notion of using friends to help me move after experiencing his speed and efficiency. This dude knows what he is doing. Along with his helper he moved me out of my 1 bedroom apartment from Queens and into my new pad in Brooklyn in just under 2 and a half hours. And when we hit traffic on the BQE he automatically got off at the next exit and took an alternate route instead of sitting there and billing extra time. He is incredibly honest and has pride and integrity in what he does. He is also one cool dude. We actually ended up using him a couple of weeks later to help move some unwanted furniture to the basement of our old building and he couldn't have been quicker and more accommodating. He came the same day and was out in a flash. Don't hesitate its totally worth his cheap rates and know how. read more

Kevin - STOP HARASSING ME. I've already responded to your concern on 6/26/13. You are untrustworthy and I was severely disappointed in your service or lack thereof. My original post will not be deleted. I have all your emails from Dec and have no reason to write a false review. I have already reported you to yelp for excessive harassment. Good luck with everything. read more

Don't even bother with this guy. Found this service on craigslist. Booked the job and got a confirmation email with all the details and stats. Was informed ahead of time that if my stuff exceeded the items listed on the email I would be charged additional fees. I emailed Kevin 3 days later asking if we could add some items, and he could adjust the price accordingly, and he said that was fine. Why such a bad review? The email said he would show up Sunday morning between 8 and 9am. He calls me the night before at 10pm saying he'll have to be there at 7:30am because he has so many other jobs to do. I said no, that's not possible as I will not be back at the apartment till at least 8am. The next morning at 8am as I'm rushing from the train to make it I have a voicemail from Kevin saying he is there at the address at 7:50am. I repeatedly try calling to tell him I am 2 mins away and he will not pick up my calls. I leave a voice message and I get no response. Finally at 8:25am Kevin picks up and I ask him where he is, and he says he left. He left! Without any notification, not a message, not a call. He just left. He said he won't jeopardize one customer's job because of another one. Well, then maybe you shouldn't over book yourself. This guy is wound way too tight and he doesn't realize that a business prospers not by your neat emails and scheduling, but by customer satisfaction and recommendations to family and friends. Good luck. Hope your move goes smoother than mine. read more

We needed a last minute move (Booked on Tuesday for a friday). Our fifth choice was already booked so they recommended Kevin's. They were easy to work with. They (Rob and Greg) showed up within the time expected. They moved everything very quickly. We did help to make it go even faster. They were careful with our belongings. I would use them again and recommend them to others. Kevin, himself, gave me a call after a posted this to thank me. I was very impressed with this personal follow up. read more

If you want a cheap and easy move in NYC, Kevin is your guy. Kevin is efficient. He was early. We moved my whole room (bed, trunk, half a dozen bags and boxes) from Williamsburg to TriBeCa in 90 minutes. I thought he was bringing a helper, so that I wouldn't have to lift a finger, but alas I changed my appointment time and for some reason I guess that meant no helper, so I ended up lifting a lot of the stuff myself (But Kevin insisted on lifting the heavier stuff himself). Since I was willing to help it was fine BUT if you're not willing to help, make sure and double check he brings a helper ($25/hr more). It was $100 for the whole thing, which is EXTREMELY affordable in my mind. Hassle-free. I would definitely use Kevin's service again 100% and will recommend it to all my friends who want a cheap and reliable mover. read more

Kevin was excellent in regards to making appointments and prompt reply. However, the review is for the actual movers. The guys showed up at my door on time. Great. But it ends there. I am pretty organized. Everything was boxed and ready to go. The guys were slowest movers I have ever hired. They didn't break anything. But they were STONED and way to slow. They drove 20mph on the highway. Clearly they wanted to get paid more than the minimum 2 hours. My friend and I did most of the work. I kicked them out at 2 hours. My boxes were still at the building entrance at that point, but I didn't care. They weren't going to get a penny more. If you want someone efficient and hard working, don't hire these guys. read more

They just moved a piano for my friend Cynthia A. She said they wrestled that piano out and she was truly impressed. Thanks again guys. Cheryl, Patty and Cynthia read more

Kevin's moving service was incredibly professional and efficient for my move from NY to five hours away. I had two other moves over the past two months with different moving companies and neither came close to their level of service. The movers carefully wrapped my items with blankets, even items we wouldn't have needed to wrap and showed care carrying them. Upon arrival, the movers offered to place each box in the room it belonged in and carefully unpacked the wrapped items. I'd highly recommend. read more

Kevin's team knocked this one out of the park. We were not prepared. It had been six years since we had moved last, and we had clearly forgotten everything. We also just didn't have time. These guys showed up, 5 minutes before they said they would, calm, confident, and ready to work. They boxed, and carried, and battled traffic, and despite flagging morale toward the end, they got it done. Bravo! One (and only) note: Kevin sends an e-mail with instructions before the move. It rivals War and Peace in length, and repeats itself constantly. I must admit that I read as much as I could, but did not make it to the end. Ask someone to edit that for you, Kevin, and you'll be perfect! read more

Kevin rocks! I contacted Kevin a month prior to my move and he was quick to reply and solidify all the details of the move. He managed to move both my roommate's stuff and mine in two separate trips quickly and for the price of one move. This is pretty amazing considering Oz Movers wanted nearly $600 for just one job! Plus, Kevin is a pretty awesome, funny, personable guy. I felt pretty guilty about schlepping up our 4th floor walk-up but Kevin had a system and we got it done in Olympic time. Thanks Kevin for helping us with our move! We'll definitely be calling you next time!!! read more

Awesome moving company. Seamless, quick and, overall, the best move I've ever experienced. Kevin and his team were very experienced and I really felt my belongings were in good hands when the movers arrived. The entire move took under 3 hours and was performed with a lot of care. The moving costs were reasonable and there were no surprise fees and everything summed up to what I anticipated. Kevin even followed up with me a week later just to check-in and see how things were going. A first class experience from beginning to end. Couldn't really ask for more from movers. Highly recommend! read more

Needed help loading a truck in Astoria that I rented for a move out of town. Kevin sent over 2 guys who were definitely pro's. They did most of the work themselves, easily carrying my couch down the stairs by themselves. They also showed up early, had tape for when I ran out, and neatly wrapped my furniture. The payment was easy, communication was great. Definitely use Kevin's service!! read more

Kevin managed to squeeze me in with few days notice on the day after Winter Storm Juno. They were so speedy and efficient! The day of the move, they called to confirm they were on their way. They were friendly, fast, and had a great attitude. They finished in 1 hour. These guys are so great!! Super helpful and friendly! Would definitely hire them again for my next move! read more

I've used Kevin's Moving Service 3 times now and preparing for a 4th! They're excellent, communicative, diligent and flexible. Over 3 moves nothing's been broken or damaged. Also it wasn't always truck moves. They helped me when I had a very large piece of equipment with many pieces to unpack outside my apartment building and move up to my unit. They helped me move to a new unit inside the same building. I would and have recommend them to anyone. read more

Kevin's Moving Service is the only mover I'd use. Four years ago his crew moved me out of the city and last week when I was moving back I still remembered how good his service was so I hired his crew again. Somehow Kevin still remembered me four years later and his moving team executed a flawless move back into the city. One week later I had to move a few pieces of furniture from a friend's apartment down town up to my new place and who did I call? Kevin. Three moves without a single incident; this guy and his team know their stuff. Will use again and again because who doesn't love moving apartments every few years. read more

Great moving service, super fast and at a good value. Kevin was really responsive and easy to get a hold of. Movers came on time, they assembled my bed and furniture all under 2 hours. By using this service and not another moving company, I saved over $200. Will definitely call Kevin again the next time I move. read more

I was referred to Kevin's Moving Service by a very good friend of mine. I have to say it was the best money I ever spent. There was one minor issue but Kevin fixed it immediately and I am so appreciative for it. Kevin and his crew were very professional, they arrived on time and worked quickly and efficiently from the moment they arrived. I will definitely refer Kevin's Moving Services to anyone I know. And I would definitely use their services again. read more
