Moving out of Brooklyn is always daunting, and it's been 7 years since my last move so I was on the market for new movers. I did some research and compared quotes, ultimately went with JP because their forms were easy to fill out, their team responsive, and their prices fair. They scheduled with me quickly, checked in about COIs, and gave me a ton of information to help me prep for my move. They confirmed the move date and time a few times in the lead up which gave me a lot of confidence in JP. On moving day, they showed up exactly on time. It was a team of 4 guys led by Axel, the team leader, who was extremely communicative, friendly, and organized. He asked me questions at every stage to make sure they were following whatever plan I had in my head. They carefully deconstructed, wrapped, and moved all of my furniture, art, electronics - it was incredible to watch. Such an organized and professional team. They arrived at the next location on Long Island (about a 1 hour drive away) right on time. They were quick and courteous unloading the truck and were happy to help removing any items that were leaving the Long Island house. That was a HUGE help as we were getting rid of a bed and a heavy treadmill - they easily walked those items right out for us. I was dreading this move, and JP Urban Moving, Axel and the team made it so smooth. We were done in 6.25 hours and I saved 5% by paying cash. I made sure to tip the guys for all of their hard work moving me on a hot summer day. THANK YOU JP URBAN MOVING! Next time I move I know who to call. Read More

Moving is always the biggest pain in the butt and I'm always stressed out leading up to it. I decided that we were going to use a moving company this time around. After doing a ton of research and getting more quotes than I could count, I decided to go with JP. Our move was a 2 BR in Brooklyn, 1 stop in Morris Plains NJ to pick up some more furniture, and finally to Weehawken NJ. The entire duration of the move was a little less than 6 hours, including the 1.5 hours travel time, talk about efficient! I found a September moving special on their website for $99 an hour for 3 guys, and they honored that price. Our total move came out to about $1k after the moving, travel time, supplies, and tipping each of the guys, which was actually less than I thought it would come out to. Now onto the actual work. I couldn't be more impressed with how quickly and how well they packed all of our furniture. Nothing was damaged upon arrival, even all the more delicate/fragile items. They were incredibly attentive and organized, they communicated with me the entire time, and the dispatcher checked in with me throughout the trip to make sure we were on schedule and everything was going smoothly. 100% would use them again for my next move, couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.

A MILLION STARS!! THEY DESERVE IT for exemplary care, integrity, efficiency, focus on relationship, and professionalism. We've moved a lot in our life, and hired all of the big name NYC movers. Funny, I can't remember who they were. BUT I will never forget JP URBAN MOVING. We are in our mid 50's. March 2019, after 12 years, we moved house with our "20 something" sons. JP UrbanMoving was a Godsend during a particularly stressful time in our lives. John took my initial call, and offered to come to our apartment to survey what we were moving, and what we weren't moving. It was complicated to me, but he confidently assessed our situation, and put me at ease. In fact, on his way to our first meeting, John texted me, and included a friendly emoticon to let me know he had left the subway and was walking to our apartment! He made me smile, and I was comfortable with him. John arrived, greeted me with a firm handshake and a friendly smile. I walked him through our Carroll Gardens duplex, pointing out what we were moving, and what we were not moving. He took notes and photos, and he wasn't the least bit fazed. I was a wreck. His disposition was comforting. He said he would prepare an estimate, get it to me over the weekend, and he did. John also encouraged me to get estimates from 3 other moving companies. I tried. I didn't like the way I was treated on the phone when I asked another local, bin providing, green movers to come and do an onsite assessment, so I ended my search. Seriously, I didn't have the emotional energy to collect additional estimates for this move. End of the day, JP Urban Moving's estimate was WAY lower than I expected, and that was good enough for me. I had a good feeling about John's company, and I trusted him. AND THEY BROUGHT ME BINS!!! Reusable bins that I didn't have to construct and tape up, and then unpack, break down and throw out, like card board boxes! OMG! So exciting...SERIOUSLY! And then... I needed MORE bins, so JP URBAN MOVING happily brought us MORE bins! WOW! Money, time and effort saved.Wow Wow Wow! The day of the move... We were all packed up... well, mostly. You know how that goes. I was freaking out. Chris and John dispatched, and stayed in communication, by group text with us, and our onsite mover foreman Manuel and his team. OMG! I love communication and follow up! Be still my heart! MANUEL and his TEAM arrived and took over with confidence and efficiency. I was immediately at ease. They knew what needed to be done, and they were doing it. They blanket wrapped all of the furniture, taped and bubble wrapped my computer, TV's, table lamps, and all of the fragile things I didn't know how to deal with. Everything was efficiently loaded onto the truck with GREAT CARE, and GENUINE RESPECT for us and our belongings. I fell a bit in love with these guys. The truck was loaded quickly. 12 years, and great angst, were behind us. We drove to meet the movers at our new home, about 8 miles away. Manuel wanted to stop and buy his guys coffee. I thought they should stop for lunch! When we got to the new apartment, Manuel and his TEAM were already waiting for us. I'm sorry we kept you guys waiting! The crew unpacked with the same energy, care, respect and efficiency. I watched them unload the truck from my upstairs window. The guys handed off the bins to one another in relay fashion. Wow! That was fast! What great team work! They related to each other as the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels do during synchronized flight maneuvers. Our mover guys deftly read my labels, and placed each bin and piece of furniture where I wanted it to go. If they weren't certain about where or how I wanted something placed, they patiently and respectfully asked and waited for my clarification. They carried my husband's Steinway Piano upstairs, with great care, patience, and would you believe humor? This could have been so stressful and frustrating, but our team from JP URBAN MOVING slowly and carefully lifted the piano up, stair by stair, and gleefully chuckled during the process. :))) They made me smile, big time! This was an arduous task which freaked me out, and our guys were actually having a good time working so hard together! I fell even deeper in love with them! The move was completed in less time than John originally estimated! There were no extra charges. No surprises. In fact, we owed less than originally estimated for the BEST MOVE EXPERIENCE OF OUR LIVES! When does that ever happen? We paid the bill, and added our savings to our tip for the amazing crew who did the heavy lifting. I'm sorry it has taken so long to post my review. You guys are all still on my mind, part of my conversations, and forever in my heart! From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU, JP URBAN MOVING! I am grateful for every team member who supported our move on 3/6/19. Is it ok to say that I LOVE YOU YOU ALL? xo Jo Anne K. Richards Read More

After 20 years in a studio, I was to move my belongings into storage in June. I'm probably not the first person to vastly underestimate how much stuff they own, but my miscalculation was severe. I was moving four large pieces of furniture "and a few boxes," I thought. More like 25 boxes of books and I don't know how many boxes of housewares, lamps, bags and odds and ends. Don't forget the three bicycles. It could have been a nightmare had the mover I hired (on very short notice) was anyone else than JP Urban. I know from a friend's experience how an unscrupulous mover can hold you hostage while you're freaking out from the chaos of the move. It turned out to be an 8-hour day, but it was money very well spent. The three-man team from JP were pros at everything, worked hard and steadily, and let me control what was done. (Moving out in Manhattan really does require three people, owing to parking and all.) As the day went on, they never flagged nor showed impatience, and stayed til the job was perfectly done. At the storage unit, I asked them to combine my art work from another unit. This was a nearly impossible task as there was just too much stuff. But the foreman on my job was a genius in spatial reasoning. (My phone crashed so I don't have the texts from the company anymore and can't recall their names.) I am still in awe of how he organized the new unit so the EVERYTHING FIT. Including the three bikes. Plus, the men were already familiar with moving art work and knew how to stagger the oil paintings (long to short edge) so the canvas wouldn't puncture. They even gave me one storage tip I'm ashamed that I didn't know before. I am so grateful to JP Urban. It is clear they care about doing the job well and fairly. Read More

THANK YOU JP MOVING!!! I called John in a huff Saturday afternoon, needing a crew to pick up a couch and chair for Sunday. Talk about last minute. John was more than accommodating. He told me that his crew was booked but since the move was so close to their home base, he'd try to squeeze in my small furniture move. And thank goodness he was able to! When the fellas got to my apartment with the furniture, they were super friendly and professional. They greeted me with a handshake and a smile! (Seems silly, but no mover has ever been so polite! They're usually big lugs in bad moods, or at least most of the ones I've hired in the past.) The guys were able to move a vintage (read: very heavy and cumbersome) sofa through my extremely narrow hallway into the living room. And it was no small task! The poor guys had to lift the thing over their heads and OVER the doorframes to get it through the hall and into my living room. There is NO WAY I could have done this, even with several friends helping. I've attached a picture of this crazy feat of strength! And, besides a few scratches on the wall (which they warned me about and I consented to... Nothing a fresh coat of paint won't fix!), the couch and chair are snugly sitting in my home, damage-free. Really nice, dependable guys. And John was kind enough to squeeze in my move last minute. Next time I move to another 'hood, I'm definitely calling these guys!!!! Read More
