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.
The crew from SimpleMoves called to say they would be 30 minutes later than the scheduled time. The crew was very thorough in emptying the POD that held most of the 'stuff' from our basement. They were most considerate of property and possessions. The crew worked fast and hard. I had no issues with their efforts.
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.
Great!!!
This company will exceed your expectations! Great communication, amazing customer service, you won't regret choosing them for your moving needs! Would highly recommend and of course i will use them again!

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!

The two movers arrived on time (actually a little bit early). They were contracted for 2 hours, but they completed everything I asked them to do in about an hour. They were respectful and even adjusted the way they loaded the pod based on my feedback along the way. I will definitely plan to use them again when I need to unload!

The whole team did an excellent job, they worked hard under some difficult conditions and were fun to be around. They kept working throughout the time and were accommodating through any changes. I would highly recommend!
These guys were the best! They were right on time and cleared everything efficiently and quickly. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much!
I had the pure honor of working with two outstanding gentlemen, Courtney and Azar representing your company. They were on time, creative, hard working and very cooperative when things were in question. I'd be pleased to have them with me again in a heart beat! Thank you for a great job!!
Courtney and Eric were a tremendous help and were very efficient and careful with our things. They arrived early and worked very hard to get everything moved in a third of the time we booked. I highly recommend using promove for your moving needs!
They were all amazing!!!! They were on time, very respectful, extremely hard working and definitely knew how to pack a Pod to its fullest potential!!!
Arrived on time. Made quick work moving some heavy items out of my basement. Very nice guys! Well worth the money for me. I would absolutely use them again.
Absolutely amazing job! Arrived early, got to work, respectful, hard working and moved us in seamlessly. Will definitely recommend! Thank you so much!
Dwight and Anthony were awesome- quick, down to earth, friendly, and great strategic packers of our truck. 11/10 stars for sure :) Thanks for making the end of a big love out of the city a whole lot easier!
I am extremely pleased with the young men that came and loaded the pod. They were delayed a couple of hours by no fault of their own and they called several times to keep me updated and were very apologetic for the delay. They were so pleasant and respectful to everyone here and I am so glad that I hired them to help me with this transition.
