Make & Moves is a godsend!! After finding this moving service on Craigslist, I was a little hesitant but pleasantly surprised! They have wonderful movers who are patient, kind, and very knowledgeable. I appreciate their speedy response time and affordable rates (compared to most NYC service companies). I also want to give a huge shoutout to Martin. He was professional and always stayed positive despite us struggling to push a couch up 4 flights of stairs. Make & Moves has a wonderful crew! I would book with them again in the future! read more

When the family decided it was time for a bunk bed, my partner and I bought one and talked about building it ourselves. However, knowing that neither of us are the handiest people, and in an effort to keep our marriage happy, we decided to look for someone to help us build the bed. Chuck's quote was quick and reasonable (way cheaper than therapy). He was fast, efficient and even helped me take apart an old twin bed. read more

Capable, skilled, and reasonably priced handyman. He was a pleasure to have working on my mobile desk.

I needed to have a flat roof painted with an elastomeric coating. I've worked with Chuck before on door installs and repairs, window A/C installs, etc but I wasn't sure if he would send a person who knew what they were doing. They did! Chuck sent over a fully experienced individual who took the time to do it right. The person arrived a few minutes early and stayed until the job was done. The pricing was fair and I would happily use them again! read more

Chuck's reply to my review is full of inaccuracies, misdirection, and other nonsense. (A great example of this is his criticism of my reviews as trolling. I have 350 4 and 5-star reviews and over 1000 likes.) He didn't communicate any of the concerns about work space, most likely because they are illegitimate. He did tell me when we he was 10 minutes away, but that doesn't change the fact that he was 90 minutes late. And since he charges by the hour and not by the piece, I clearly wasn't trying to get him to do another one for free. If he hadn't been so slow, sloppy and late I would have gladly paid another hour for him to build another piece. See my previous review for more details. read more

Chuck was able to help get an extremely heavy iron radiator up to my apartment from the ground floor. This was a real behemoth of a radiator. Within 10 minutes chuck texted me back and about an hour after that two of his associates were at my place and took care of the job with zero issues arising. Made it look easy, even. Thanks Chuck! read more

Chuck was on time, and his email communication was clear and helpful. He skillfully constructed an IKEA bookcase incredibly quickly. (It IS an easy item to construct).. Everything about him was extremely professional, and his fees allowed me to hire help to do this. v He was a perfect choice and I very highly recommend him. read more

Chuck did an amazing job on mounting my TV. He was communicative, fair priced and professional. After he did my tv he was then able to fix my friends wall who also has glowing reviews. I would highly highly recommend chuck and his business and will definitely be using him again. Thank you chuck!! read more

Chuck was amazing. He helped unbox the TV and the mount, and was able to get my TV up on the wall within an hour. My TV looks amazing up on the wall. read more

Found Chuck on Craigslist when I needed my 43" TV mounted on my concrete wall. His prices were very competitive so I gave him a text and we quickly set up an appointment for later in the week. I provided the mount and he came to my apartment with everything he needed to do the install. It took him less than 1 hour to do the job perfectly just as I had requested all while having a conversation most. Really friendly and professional service at a great price. Give Chuck a text and you won't be disappointed! read more

I first asked my super to help me move an air conditioner into my bedroom about a month ago (well in advance of the heat). After he blew me off multiple times, I couldn't take it any more. I reached out to a bunch of people to find someone to help me out, but most of them were booked through the weekend or gave me crazy high price estimates ($275 to move one A/C window unit between two rooms? Really?). Chuck responded to my initial message quickly and gave me one of the better price estimates. He was available to schedule for the next day and even got here an hour early (he texted me first to make sure that was ok). He was nice, professional, and got the job done quickly. According to Yelp, I first messaged Chuck 23 hours ago. At that time, I was sitting in the same exact same spot, but I was very hot and not happy about it. Now I'm cool and comfortable and looking forward to getting a good night's sleep. read more

Quick installation of AC and reasonable price. Unfortunately one of the internal brackets was inverted drilled through the middle of the sill, with no permission sought from apartment dweller in advance, potentially jeopardizing the renters' security deposit. The foam blocks also were not used correctly; the large blocks were supposed to fit in the sides. Instead, the smaller sized ones were stacked like legos, jammed and glued in, so when other crevices need it, they were already used. Please check in before independently executing haphazard solutions. read more

Excellent, perfect outstanding service every single time. Hands down. If there is ever any need for NYC services, please do yourselves a big favor and hire this team. I contracted Chuck when they were first starting out and then randomly tried to find him again when I finally needed something else and saw a plethora of excellent reviews--and I was not surprised :) If there is an "iphone" of moving/installation/fix services in Manhattan (and beyond), consider this place it. They are the gold standard essentially. I actually would be interested to have them get contracted in my company if my company didnt already have contractors. Again, please don't hesitate. Take this passionate outcry of a review as a sign to only call these guys (support small businesses that are best of the best). read more

Chuck and his crew are professionals! I've worked with Chuck twice. the first time I worked with Chuck, he was able to come through very last minute with two other guys to move an extremely heavy piece of furniture - a kitchen island I'd heard was much lighter than it was. Chuck showed up on time with a strong crew and made it up to my walk up. more recently, Chuck and a partner helped me with about half my move, carrying most of our one bedroom apartment down into our uhaul. he was very professional about setting the time and reconfirming, was on time, and his crew was hard working. I'd definitely work with him again in the future!! read more

Had a very heavy concrete table getting delivered by crate, and chuck was super responsive and flexible for setting up the time for his staff to arrive. Very fair pricing. Guys were super polite, friendly and efficient. Will definitely use again. Not a scratch on the table and fast uncrewing/uncrating, even discarded the crate material for me in my building garbage area. read more

I contacted Chuck on Saturday about installing 2 window a/c's with plexiglass and he responded immediately! We scheduled the installation for Monday and they are installed and looked great! He communicated effectively every step of the way and addressed any and all questions quickly. I highly recommend his services and would gladly use him again in the future! read more

Can't say enough about Chuck!! Needed 3 mid-large Ikea pieces assembled. Reached out to Chuck who responded to my inquiry, with a quote in under an hour... on a Sunday!! Quoted me a great price and followed up continually until my scheduled assembly date. Once here, he got right to work and finished with everything in less than 3.5 hours, just as he quoted. Furniture looks great as well as stable and he didn't leave a mess behind. Will definitely be using his services again. Thank You So Much!! read more

I cannot recommend this moving help company enough! Dane and Mike were incredible, they arrived on time and were immediately on the go, moving items into our uhaul. I was impressed by their knack for efficient and safe moving. We completed our one bedroom move, including a 30 minute drive, in under 3 hours. Thank you to Make and Moves! read more

Chuck is amazing. I've used him multiple times in the past two years and he is someone I know I could always count on. Moving seems easier with him just knowing I could call chuck for help and I trust him and know I'm not getting ripped off. He's also very good with being puntual, he works efficiently and comes prepared. I never feel like he is taking advantage of the hourly pay since he is always honest. If anything the opposite! Thanks chuck! read more

The services were great. Chuck arrived on time, was extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The assembly of the ikea storage unit went a lot quicker than imagined. I highly recommend his services going forward. read more

I recently hired Make and Moves to do an large AC install. Chuck was very professional, friendly, and highly responsive. I was able to get next day service at the time I needed and he even arrived a little early (but also gave a courtesy notice that we was able to be early). The installation was quick and very thorough. I am very pleased with this service and highly recommend. read more

I hired Chuck and his team to help me move 3 enormous boxes with furniture to my fifth floor walk up. Chuck was very communicative prior to move day and he and his associate even arrived early! They effortlessly moved all of my items-- it only took them 15 minutes. Will definitely book again! read more

I'm so fortunate to have found Chuck! I've tried many Handymen and he is by far the best I've used. His prices are extremely reasonable and he's fast and efficient. He's hung huge/heavy mirrors for me, put together beds, cut rugs, etc - I kept finding more things for him to do - all the little stuff you keep putting off he can do! Thank you Check!! (Who was able to fit me in last minute!). read more

All I can say is "WOW." He somehow, miraculously, single handedly got my new Casper Queen Mattress up four flights of stairs. Still have no idea how he did it, so quickly and without bothering my new neighbors...Super easy to schedule him (via text, the night before) he was on time (7:30am bc I had to get to work), polite and efficient. Will definitely be using him again! read more

Punctual, polite, priced well, perfect fast assembly.

Truly the best moving experience I've had in my 10 years in NY. The movers were efficient, KIND, professional, and so positive. I really couldn't have asked for a better experience or rate for the job. I plan to recommend them to everyone I know. Grateful to find a company in NY that's affordable, and high quality. 10/10. read more

Highly recommend these guys. Clear, timely, professional communication. Arrived on time, all work completed within an hour. Would hire again for any task. read more

I asked for quotes from 5 companies and make & moves was the best price. Chuck arrived in a few hours, was really thorough & nice and did an excellent job. EMPHATICALLY recommend! read more

Chuck is great! He was so fast to respond and he fit me in on the same day, which was so appreciated. Chuck took down an old medicine cabinet for me and reinstalled a new one. He also installed a mirror and toilet paper holder. I will definitely call Chuck in the future for all handyman needs! He's so fast, kind, and has great prices. I recommend him completely. read more

Chuck was awesome. He arrived promptly and got to work quickly. He knew his stuff and got the job done faster than I expected. I had him install a swivel mount for my television. He was thorough and friendly, and double checked his work for quality. Would certainly recommend to anyone looking for some handy work to be done. read more

Chuck help us to transform our co-working space from a uninspiring storage room to a modern oasis that is fun and functional. We purchased IKEA cabinets and countertops and was looking for a reliable handyman who didn't take short cuts with their work ethics. I highly recommend chuck for assembly and installation services. read more

This is based on Chuck's responsiveness and quote. Chuck got back to us almost immediately after I provided him with pages of info on a large ikea cabinet project. He's been incredibly professional and responsive and is available for last minute jobs... a godsend when you're facing a mountain of flatpacked cabinetry and need help getting the job done ASAP to stay on track with a project timeline. Looking forward to working with him this weekend, will update review in a few days! read more

The guys are absolute professionals. Great communicators, quick to respond, flexible on timing. They did the job extremely fast and did it perfectly. Highly recommend. Will use them again. read more

Very professional, precise, non-nonsense. The job involved installing a huge custom bookshelf, pretty non standard, but Chuck tackled it flawlessly. read more

Chuck is very professional and did a great job installing my IKEA furniture. I am very satisfied with his service and will consider him again in the case I need furniture assembly in the future. The only thing I would mention is that mounting comes at extra cost and for anyone that needs the service, you should confirm with Chuck ahead of time to avoid miscommunication. read more

Booked and was accommodated same day. He was polite, very very fast, and prepared. He mounted a TV for me neatly and efficiently. Will contact again for other projects. I will say he also gave me the most reasonable rate out of all the places I contacted! read more
