Leon and Marquel were great. They arrived early after calling to make sure that would be okay. They worked tirelessly the whole time, and made toting heavy loads and cumbersome items look like child’s play. They loaded the truck expertly; I had put my husband in charge of the truck and looked out tge window to see him just standing by as Leon and Marquel did everything. They were both polite and personable. They finished on time and I was very pleased with every aspect of the experience. I would use them again and heartily recommend !
Anthony and Jaden are super helpful and moved all our items with care, they helped us loaded up our u-haul truck nicely and able to packed everything we asked without issue. Thu’s is the second time in two weeks we ask for Friday’s Moving Services to help with our move, Thank you so much for all the great services!!!!

Extremely satisfying with Roman and Ravshan service. They were so professional, arrive even little earlier, worked really hard and finished even before the scheduled time. I will definitely recommend them both and will like to use their services again in the future. Thanks, Al
They were on time, worked hard, fast, respected your property and would use them again.
I hired 3 movers for 2 hours to help load a moving truck; all 3 were there 25 minutes early! My bldg interior had just been renovated, and the hallways and stairwell are EXTREMELY narrow so i was super nervous about marking and gouging the new walls/trim. All 3 movers were excellent. Absolutely no damage done to the walls! Entire job was done in 50 minutes. I would highly recommend this company for your moving needs.
Keyon and Wayne were on time, well prepared for the job, worked very hard and were respectful of property and goods. Wayne totally impressed me with his driving skills to fit the truck through a narrow space into a small parking lot behind the building on Post Ave., in Westbury! And he accomplished that without a scratch to walls or the truck. Wow! They were amazing and should be commended for a perfect job. I would definitely use them again and recommend them.
Great guys. Strong. Fun. Respectful. They know how to make everything fit in my POD with room to spare!
Great help! Professional and fairly priced
Our help had car trouble and arrived 2 1/2 hours after the scheduled time but we were fine with it. The did a great job and I would recommend them.
Very good service! Went above and beyond for me. Took apart all my stuff and Weathered the rain and snow!! I highly recommend for your next move! Thank you!
Very courteous and professional. They were very respectful of my household goods and placed everything as requested. very hard workers and would definitely use this service again if needed.
Very.Hard workers pleasant very careful !and professional. Thank you Annette friscia

Major Neighborhoods in Manhattan
Arguably the most iconic and recognizable of the five New York boroughs, Manhattan is a cosmopolitan center of commerce, finance, and entertainment. If you're someone who thrives in big city crowds and always wants something to do, it doesn't get much better than living next door to famous sites like the Empire State Building, or Broadway's live shows. There's also Central Park for birdwatching, walks, or just taking a break — with over 800 acres to it, you'll find something to do in the park if you ever get tired of the concrete and skyscrapers. Naturally, the borough can get congested and parking can be a real nightmare. So if you’re moving to Manhattan, check out our list to find an experienced local moving service to help you navigate to your new home.
Greenwich Village
Greenwich Village was the home of the city’s counterculture movement in the 50s and 60s and a historic LGBT+ district. The heart of the neighborhood is Washington Square Park, famous for its central plaza fountain and outdoor chess boards. Music fans will enjoy stopping by Café Wha, the former hangout of famous performers like Jimmy Hendrix, Bob Dylan, and poet Allen Ginsberg – and it still hosts live acts today. The area's also home to many New York University buildings and campus attractions, so it can feel like you're on a campus in some parts of the neighborhood. But whether you're a student or are moving to Greenwich Village for one of the other great amenities, a knowledgeable local moving company will be your best friend.
Upper West Side
Upper West Side is a neighborhood ideal for those who love live music, theater, and entertainment. It's home to the iconic Lincoln Center, hosting famous performing arts organizations like the Metropolitan Opera. You can also catch a show at Smoke Jazz Club, a famous neighborhood venue that just underwent a major expansion. Or spend an afternoon exploring the exhibits at the American Museum of Natural History. And whether you like eating before or a show or after, you have your pick of delicious restaurants, including French Roast, which serves classic Parisian bistro fare. Thinking of becoming a new Upper West Side resident? Hiring a local moving company to help with the logistics will be the best thing you ever did — besides deciding to move into the neighborhood, that is.
Chelsea
An eclectic mixture of housing styles makes Chelsea a popular spot for long-time residents and newcomers alike. You’ll find over 200 art galleries here, including the Dia Chelsea and David Zwirner galleries. Any local will tell you that stopping at the weekend Chelsea Flea Market is a definite must-do, and while you're out and about, you can also visit the High Line, a uniquely elevated park built over old railroad tracks. But no matter what your preferred weekend looks like, consider a membership to DoNYC to get the latest updates on live music and community events. And to help you transition into the neighborhood, check out our list of local movers. They know the area better than anyone, and will get you to your new place stress-free.
Upper East Side
Home to many a Hollywood star and business mogul, the Upper East Side is one of the city’s wealthiest neighborhoods. You probably know it's where the iconic Madison Avenue is located, home to high-end designer shops like Prada and Chanel. But the neighborhood is also home to Museum Mile, a stretch of 5th Avenue lined by buildings like the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And after a long day of shopping and seeing exhibits, you can stop by Ralph’s Coffee for a cappuccino and fresh cookies. The Upper East Side is the epitome of luxury, so if you're moving into the neighborhood, be sure to hire the best local movers — you'll be thankful to have professionals that already know how to deal with high rises!
