Best 7 Moving Companies in NYC

Best 7 Moving Companies in NYC

New York is a city on the move and you need to know which are the best moving companies when you decide that it's time to move to new digs.

It's essential that the moving company we use understands that New Yorkers don't settle for second best.

Picking up the life one knows and loves and moving to a whole new environment can be highly stressful. But the challenges involved in packing up your stuff, both literally and emotionally, and heading out into a brand new life can be greatly reduced if you have the right moving company by your side.

MovingHouse 3

Professional movers will not only supply the right kind of packing materials you need, they will also help you get a moving game plan together. It doesn't matter if you are a veteran of several moves or this is your first time. It is the responsibility of a moving service to think of things that you never would. After all, they do this for a living.

Here are some of the best NYC moving companies.

Morgan Manhattan Moving Company - NYC

A family-owned company, Morgan Moving and Storage was founded back in 1851. That kind of longevity is a testament to the company's reliability and professional expertise. This is not a situation where a couple of ex pro wrestlers decided to make money with their muscles in some fly-by-night operation.

MorganManhattanMovingAndStorage

Morgan Moving has a tradition of excellence and a family name that they will go to great lengths to protect.  This entails a tremendous amount of responsibility to you, their customer.
Every employee is carefully trained in the Morgan way of doing things.  When Patrick Morgan and his brother first started the business, he used a large horse-drawn wagon to transport a client's belongings. At the time, much of Midtown Manhattan was still made up of farms, pastureland and quiet roads.

Things have changed a lot since then, but the commitment to traditional values, like courtesy and kindness, remains. It's also interesting to note that many Morgan employees remain with the company for years and that sons often follow in their dad's footsteps as moving professionals.

Morgan now maintains a fleet of state-of-the-art vans and moving  equipment. They  are considered to be leaders in the storage of fine art, office records, vintage automobiles and even rare wines (in climate-controlled vaults).
In NYC, space is always at a premium, especially if you are moving from one cramped apartment  to another. Reclaim your life and store things you don't need in one of Morgan's safe and secure storage facilities. Why clutter up your new place with stuff that you don't use much any more?

If you are relocating from another city and  want to plan for the near future, you can ship most of your furniture ahead of time. Morgan will store it and have it set up in your new home by the time you get there.

They are experts at office re-locations. Morgan's movers have the skill it takes to move workstations and server racks without damaging your property.

In short, the team at Morgan can handle anything and everything when it comes to your move.

Noah's Ark Moving - NYC

A full-service company, Noah's Ark specializes in local, long distance and corporate moves, as well as international relocations.

If you have expensive furniture or other possessions with strong sentimental value, let your mind rest easy. These guys know what they are doing. They have the caring, expert hands of a pianist or surgeon when it comes to handling delicate lamps, vases or paintings.

NoahsArk

Fully licensed and insured, Noah's Ark boasts a phenomenal record of less than 1/20th of 1% damage ratio.

Now, they don't have a huge floating ark like the original Noah did, but they DO have the next best thing: a fleet of clean, dependable trucks and vans. That's important. The last thing that you want happening is your moving van breaking down in the middle of the street, because it hasn't been checked and serviced recently.

Amit Arava founded Noah's Ark  over 30 years ago. Their slogan, "a positively moving experience," still holds true today.

NoahsArk2

Indeed, you WILL be moved by the friendly attitude and strong work ethic of the team that is assigned to your move.
It's no wonder that almost 70% of their business comes from client referrals. Integrity, accountability, diligence and seeing a project through from start to finish are the core values that every employee must adhere to.

They are also great at executing those mission impossible, last-minute moves that can come up in even the most well-organized lives.

Noah's Ark will be at your side every step of the way, helping you to set up a detailed move plan and conduct an accurate inventory. With Noah's Ark you won't have to sweat the small stuff.

Big John's Moving Company - NYC

Yes, there really is a big John. It's not just a cute marketing gimmick!

John Healey started the company several decades ago with just a truck and a dream. Big John's has now grown into one of the most respected and sought after boutique moving companies in the Tri-State Area.

MovingHouse 6

By the way, you will be interested to know that Big John is still a force to be reckoned with. The years haven't slowed him down at all. John Healey personally hires and trains each and every employee. He supervises the crews, making sure that everybody is always on the same page. John Healey's standards are as high as your expectations as a client.

After the move has been completed, don't be surprised if the owner himself doesn't give you a call, making sure that everything went right. Now that's customer service, old-school style.

There are so many reasons for you to do business with Big John's. To start with, they offer free 30-day storage on long-distance moves, as well as refunds when jobs come in under estimate. That's so cool. The company is licensed by, and has a complaint-free record with, the Department of Transportation.

 

It doesn't matter how much stuff you've accumulated over the years. Just take a good look inside one of Big John's humungous 28-foot vans or 18-wheel tractor rigs. They can handle any load, including a grand piano, together with a row of floor-to-ceiling bookcases.

When you check out their website, you'll find dozens of letters of reference from satisfied clients.  First and foremost, though, is a letter, on City Hall stationery, from none other than former mayor Michael Bloomberg. The letter commends John Healey for his work in  collecting and transporting donated clothing for the Red Cross in the days following Superstorm Sandy.

Oz Moving and Storage - NYC

If you live in NYC, chances are good that, at one time or another, you resided in a walk-up apartment. Maybe you even lived on the top floor. You weren't a favorite of delivery guys or movers due to those seemingly endless stairs. Some moving companies are wary of customers who live in a walk-up. Way too much trouble.

MovingHouse 8

Well, walk-ups are not a problem where Oz Movers are concerned. Their only concern is making your life easy when it's time to move. From brownstones and walk-ups to high rises and penthouses, Oz has got your back.

Maybe it's this dedication to going the extra mile that makes Oz the preferred mover of corporate CEOs, Grammy award-winning performers and NFL quarterbacks. Hey, moving is never cheap. There's no way around that.  You get what you pay for, so why not get your money's worth by working with a company like Oz ?

One of the benefits of dealing with Oz is that you pay ONLY for the services that you use. They won't lock you into an expensive package where you end up using only some of the services provided but end up paying for everything. Oz features "a la carte" moving!

MovingHouse 9

Oz also has express lines if you are moving to another city. In fact, they can move you from coast to coast in only six days. And they'll do the job right.
No move is too difficult for their seasoned pros. When you arrive at your new place, settle in with a cup of coffee or soothing tea, while the Oz crew unpacks everything for you. They will  even disassemble your furniture, pack it carefully  and then reassemble your dining room table, couch or sofa. Who could ask for more ?

By the way, all of your boxes will already have been carefully labelled to keep items together and ensure delivery to the preferred part of your new home. In other words, kitchenware will be brought straight to where it's supposed to be. Your Oz crew will also remove any trash  from your new apartment and take away all of  the empty boxes.

MovingHouse 10

You will constantly be in touch with a dedicated project manager whose only job is to oversee your move and make certain that everything goes as smooth as silk.

You will want to take advantage of their other services, including media installation, carpentry and antique restoration. They have a locksmith on call, which can come in very handy. Especially if your realtor forgot to give you an extra set of keys for the new house or condo!

Roadway Moving - NYC

Roadway's logo, which depicts two  workers  carefully moving a heart into one of the company's vans, says a great deal about how  Roadway  takes care of their customers . Their motto is "we treat your things like they were our things." Roadway is a nicer way to move.

MovingHouse 12

That's all well and good, but all the cute and catchy slogans in the world won't create a safe and effective move. That's the job of experienced movers and also the front office staff. The people who answer the phones or deal with you through the computer are the first point of contact for customers. They are the men and women who give you a price quote and answer any and all questions that you may have. Roadway feels that they have the best crews and administrative staff in the business. They just may be right .

Roadway has earned a coveted A+ from the Better Business Bureau and they are also certified by the American Moving and Storage Association as a Pro Mover dedicated to the very best and fair practices. Angie's List awarded  the Roadway team their Super Service Award. That all speaks volumes about the kind of company you are dealing with. They put everything in writing. You've got to love that.

Moving to a new home is a major life event. Roadway understands that and they will make you feel at home before you even unpack a box.

MovingHouse 13
Moving is stressful enough as it is. The last thing you need is to be pacing up and down, eager to move into your new digs. Roadway respects your time and they are as good as their word.

Remember, when you're planning your next move there's  Roadway and there's the wrong way !
