JP Urban Moving

This operation is first class in every category — service, crew, professionalism, and accommodating unique needs. With all the nightmare stories you hear about movers the mgt of the company is a professional in every facet of the moving business. Honest and trustworthy. Highly recommend!

Best in Brooklyn and maybe the city. Easy to deal with, communicative, reasonably priced. Recently moved from Manhattan and had a great experience. They packed up many of our fragile belongings with great care. Had absolutely zero damage from the move. Provided insurance forms to my building without a problem.

Awesome moving company! Extremely, let professional from the beginning, starting with their very thorough price estimate. They break everything down so you know exACTLY what you are paying for! They respond quickly and their prices are very good compared to others. Their team was very professional, checking with each piece of furniture to make sure they wrapped it or packaged it the right way. They were also very quick. I’d recommend them for your next move for sure, they made things very easy!

I hired JP Urban Moving this past weekend for a move from Park Slope to Upper West Side and the experience truly could not have been any better. I was anxious, having heard many horror stories about movers in NYC, but there is a reason JP has such high reviews on Unilocal and a recommendation from New York Magazine. Booking the move was very easy and I was able to communicate with Juan via email during the leadup to the move. On the day of the move, a crew of four men showed up on time and quickly got to work. My fiancé and I really put these guys through the wringer given that we were moving from a 5^th floor walkup in Brooklyn to a 5^th floor walkup in Manhattan, but they did everything with a smile and no complaints. Our final cost ended up being literally within three dollars of what Juan quoted us. Fee is on an hourly basis based on how many movers are assigned to your job, with a two hour minimum and then charged by 15-​minute increments afterwards. No hidden fees for stairs, lack of elevator, etc. We gave the movers a very generous tip for all the work they did but they earned every dollar. Highly, HIGHLY recommend JP Urban Moving for your next move.

Let me start by saying — HIRE THEM — don’t over think it, just do it.
Not only were they on time, they were actually a bit early, and got to work immediately. It is impressive seeing them turn my fully furnished apartment into an empty place… The speed. They were so careful with every item, and packed everything as if it was going to go across the country!
Once in the new place, the carefully placed everything in its location, and put up with me annoyingly asking them to put protectors in every single furniture leg to avoid scratching the floor.
The dispatcher was also keeping an eye on the progress, and texted me every once in a while to check in.
Not planning to move for a very long time, but if I decide to, I will certainly hire them again in a heart bit.

My boyfriend and I have used JP for our last few moves. I will not use ANY other movers ever again. Professional, helpful, timely, CAREFUL (they treat your belongings as if they are their own), and just really nice people. The owner set up a group text for communication, and contacted me to see how the move went.
Moving is so stressful, it is absolutely worth a bit of extra money for the peace of mind this company offers!

These guys are great
Totally on the ball and very efficient
I highly recommend them
I have moved a few times In my day
Best movers I ever used
Trust me you may find someone a little cheaper
But at the risk of having your move screwed up
Thumbs up for Jp

After a very agonizing co-​op renovation experience, I hired these guys on the recommendation of my sister, who used them a few years before.
I cannot speak more highly of these lovely gents. They showed up on time, despite unknown coned construction on my block. Were extremely professional and friendly during a very stressful time in one’s life… able to find parking in the toughest of spaces! They made my move easier than it needed to be. I highly recommend!

I have moved many many times in the past several years, and these movers were the best of all that I have ever hired. They showed up on time, nothing was broken, they took apart furniture and put it back together, the final price was UNDER the estimate given to me by the central office, and that even included the purchase of supplies needed at the last minute.
They did charge a $ 60 Nassau Surcharge — but it was indicated upfront that was going to be included — so no surprises.
Chris the driver and his team were great.
John the dispatcher kept in touch through text and checked up throughout the move.

They were great.
I needed a mover with insurance so I had limited options. These guys were the lowest price of everyone I talked to so I was suspicious but the great Unilocal reviews convinced me to try.
They did great. All things were treated well. Movers were courteous and professional. I got confirmations day before. They said they would start at 8 and they did start at 8. They communicated insurance info to my building well. And the final cost was slightly lower than the estimate.
These guys are great!

If you want an honest, quick, hard-​working company. These are the guys to work with
John, the owner, is excellent to work with. he put relationships before business when dealing with his clients.
very happy with the work

These guys were courteous, helpful, punctual and SO STRONG. The fact that one guy lifted my huge AC unit like it was a box of feathers was super impressive. They were finished really fast and everything was wrapped and moved properly. There was no damage done to anything. I also love their dispatch texting system. I had access to everyone’s phone numbers and was never left wondering what the next step would be. The doorman at my new building said it was the fastest move-​in he had ever seen and I believe it! I will definitely use these guys again. Their quote was the cheapest out of the 5 companies I called and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. You won’t regret using JP Urban!

We had the best move ever. our movers were a 4-​men team of Ronny, Junior, Manny and Ascencio. They packed and moved our stuff out one day and the next day brought our stuff, moved stuff in and helped unpack and place furniture. No damage to any furniture, they all worked tirelessly the whole time, pleasant and utterly professional in demeanor. We were referred to JPMoving by a couple who have a bigger place than we do and arguably more finicky but very satisfied. We owe our friends at least a dinner because we cannot be happier.

Overdue review as I used JP in September.
Very easy to work with… For movers that says it all!
I did some of my packing and was fully expecting the crew to say– «oh sorry we have to re-​tape everything» or some bologna like that thus leading to a bigger bill.
None of that nonsense. Just a nice, smooth, easy, professional move.
I will be moving again this summer and will definitely use them for the move.
NY Magazine Best of does it again!

These guys were remarkable. We’ve used other movers, unhappily, and gotten quotes from others, also unhappily. But if we ever move again they’ll be our first call.
Why I liked them:
— Gave us a detailed quote breaking down all the costs, so no hidden charges
— Prompt, friendly customer service
— On the day of our move, we got a text confirmation letting us know they were en route and who our crew would be – totally kept us in the loop
— Cheerful, friendly crew – unlike our last movers, who were sullen, these guys seemed to almost be having a good time (if such a thing is possible with such a labor-​intensive job!)
— Incredibly efficient in moving & packing, and did a great job packing our delicates
— Moved stuff (including a huge sofa) down three flights of stairs and up six, without complaint, and then moved the sofa down six again when it didn’t fit in the new apartment
And best of all came in under the quoted price, and were accurate to the 15-​minute increment in terms of how much time they charged us for – 3.75 hrs instead of 4!
In short, really really great, and I recommend them highly.

It is no accident this moving company has so many 5 star reviews! They did a great job helping me move from downtown Manhattan to uptown, even coordinating an extra stop to pick up a bed.
They were extremely organized and efficient. They kept me updated via text msg when the movers were on their way and went they got to the new place.
The guys were super fast during the move and had extra tape/​blankets available.
Worth every penny. Highly recommend. Would definitely use again.

Hired these guys today. They were on time, did great work, and the price was fair and reasonable. I will hire them again and recommend them to my friends.
A much more expensive competitor of theirs, whom I turned down, warned me that the hourly-​rate companies who estimate low almost always rip you off in the end. That couldn’t be further from the truth with JP Urban Moving.
I’m really happy with my decision to use them.

Calling to book was a breeze and was quick.
I had a return phone call and a quote within 30 minutes of contacting their office on a Saturday afternoon for a Sunday morning move.
They were informative and communicated well with me about who my foreman would be, times, insurance and rates.
I completely fudged up the time the storage facility would be open, they were punctual and I was panicked! My job was estimated at 3.5 hours and already I was going to cut into that time.
Josh called me right away and was so sympathetic to my «move day stress». He told me he would lower the fee while the movers waited AN HOUR AND A HALF for the storage unit to open!
They were super efficient with taping things up and wrapping anything that looked like it may become unsteady enroute. They worked so QUICKLY! literally no breaks… just a constant stream of moving!
Unloading a 1 bedroom apartment sized storage unit from beginning to securing in their super large truck and driving off to the final location took 45 minutes exactly! 45minutes!!! BRUH!!! (Do you know how many hours it took my friends and I to jigsaw puzzle those items into the unit… bruh*)
They reached my new place smoothly and began unloading.
Placed everything where I needed it. They were quick, careful and efficient!
I couldn’t have had a smoother move!
It ended up being a little over initially quoted even with the extra 1.5 hours! But still under budget for me!
They all kept in contact with me throughout the process. They were friendly and not once did I see anyone take a break (I wouldn’t have been bothered!) hard workers with SENSATIONAL customer service!
Do NOT go any further! USE THIS COMPANY FOR YOUR MOVE!!!
I’m so happy I’m a believer in Unilocal!The other 5 star reviews are real!
THANKS EVERYONE!!! Customer for LIFE! (Well let’s hope I don’t have to move but I will recommend them to everyone!)
*bruh– urban colloquialism that basically stands to emphasize when something is shocking, surprising and/​or downright insane. Also can be used as a pause when someone is going down the wrong path in a phone/​text/​in person convo. Also can be used when something is hilariously funny and you can’t stand to hear anymore because you’re so tickled. LOL

These movers were amazing! Moving usually sucks but they were such pros. The prices were about 2/​3rds what I was being quoted elsewhere and were communicated transparently (they are also transparent in indicating what a standard but optional tip would be). I expected our move would take all day since we were moving in together from two apartments, but they completed the move in 4.5 hours.
I can’t understate how impressed we were with them — each member of the crew was fast, thorough, and the entire operation was a well-​oiled machine. I don’t know how they do it but it’s almost like every guy on the crew had been through a moving ninja bootcamp. We were moving into a ground floor apartment with winding stairs and narrow doors and it’s a bit of a miracle that they managed to move everything in. All our furniture arrived in pristine condition and nothing in the apartment was scuffed up.
It was definitely worth it. At the risk of sounding overblown, they kind of restored my faith in moving services.

My fiancé and I decided to go with JP based on their price quote, availability and reviews, and I’m glad we did. Juan answered all of my questions over the phone prior to the move. Sometimes I had a hard time getting him on the phone, but that was probably because I called during lunch.
Even though we scheduled an afternoon move, they called that morning to let us know that the were available about 3 hours ahead of time. We scrambled a bit, but we ended up making it work. Their clock started as soon as we met up with them outside our old apartment, as we were trying to set up a few things at the new one. The 4 men crew worked insanely fast wrapping and packing everything. I couldn’t believe how quick everything was on the truck. When we got to the new apartment, it didn’t take them long to unload everything, and they were very careful. I don’t think anything was damaged, but it was definitely worth the piece of mind opting for the additional insurance just in case.
When the crew finished, all packing materials they used to wrap the furniture with were taken away (ie, they didn’t leave a mess behind). The move ended up taking about the same amount of time as originally quoted by Juan. We decided to tip each man $ 10 per hour of the move. They definitely deserved it! Our move was local, but I highly recommend them!
