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.

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

The Boroughs in New York City
What's it like to live in New York? Ask a New Yorker to pick one thing they love about the city and you’ll get a hundred answers. How easy it is to get around using the subways, on foot, or on a bike. The 13,000 bodegas (with their resident cats) where you can buy everything from milk to lottery tickets, food from around the world for every budget, tons of pro sports, recreational spaces to play in, world-famous museums to explore, intimate jazz nights to enjoy, or how about a show on Broadway? You’re spoiled for choice in the Big Apple! Our movers know the best routes to beat the traffic and get you to your new home safe and sound.
Manhattan
There are over 1,700 parks and playgrounds in New York City, and the most famous is in Manhattan: Central Park borders the Upper West Side, a neighborhood characterized by its beautiful brownstones. And there's High Line, an elevated linear park built on a historic freight rail line that runs through the artistic neighborhood of Chelsea.
And while West Village has strong community ties and a relaxed pace of life, Greenwich Village is also home to historic sites and iconic music venues. No matter where you are, Manhattan is highly walkable and well-connected through the city’s famous subways, but driving is a symphony of one-way streets, low bridges, and tight corners, so professional movers are a must!
Brooklyn
Brooklyn is the heartbeat of New York City, with the comfort of community and a generous helping of character.
Family-friendly Park Slope is packed with playgrounds and top-rated schools, and the streets of Bushwick are a canvas of large-scale murals. And with its leafy streets and views of the Manhattan skyline, Brooklyn Heights has an old-world feel worthy of the city’s first historic district. (Brooklyn is also home to Coney Island, the world famous amusement park with iconic boardwalk!)
Don’t forget to get your temporary parking permits for moving day; professional movers know the secrets to securing the best parking spots.
Queens
Queens is where the world meets!
The historic streets of Astoria are brimming with Greek bakeries, cafés, and one of the oldest beer gardens in New York — the Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden that serves traditional Czech and Slovak beer and food.
Meanwhile, Flushing is a hub of Asian culture, renowned for its authentic Chinese and Korean eateries and markets. Bayside is known for its quiet residential streets and excellent schools. (You can also spend your weekends boating at Bayside Marina!)
Whether you’re moving into a walkup or a home with a yard, professional movers know exactly how to help you get settled in.
The Bronx
Hailed as the birthplace of hip hop and graffiti, The Bronx is New York City’s northernmost borough and home to the New York Yankees. But Yankee Stadium isn’t the only feather in The Bronx’s sporting cap: strap on your helmet and join thousands of cyclists at Tour de Bronx for a 10-, 25- or 40-mile ride through the borough. And Arthur Avenue, also known as Little Italy, for authentic Italian restaurants, stores, and bakeries.
The Bronx is a bustling borough with an extensive public transportation system, with trains, subway stops, and buses making it easy to get around the city. But the roads are another story, so let experienced professional movers get you through The Grand Concourse while you enjoy its Art Deco architecture.
Staten Island
New York City’s biggest borough is Staten Island, which has a more suburban feel with larger homes, quieter neighborhoods, and plenty of ways to spend time in nature. North Mt. Loretto State Forest offers walking and biking trails, and at Lemon Creek you can take to the water to fish, paddle, and kayak.
And although Staten Island isn’t connected to the New York City subway system, the free Staten Island Ferry connects the borough to Manhattan, with iconic views of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline.
Several major bridges connect Staten Island to other parts of New York and New Jersey, and professional movers will know the best route to take to reduce tolls and travel time.

This company made my move stress free. Unexpected events occurred on the day of my move which prevented me from arriving at the scheduled time.
