Ken was amazing and was on time our home Brooklyn. He safely loaded our belongings on his van well equipped van and move everything in tack to the destination in eastern Long Island. We highly recommend his service. It was a very good experience & will definitely use him again! read more

I needed to move some things from IKEA in Brooklyn (beds, nightstands, etc) to my new apt on UWS, and Kenneth couldn't be more helpful. Very professional, showed up on time, communicated throughout, helped with unloading of the items. The flat price is great as well. Highly recommended, would definitely use for any future moves. 5 stars. read more

We had to move our companies gear from one storage location to another. Ken was fantastic. He recommended an early start time so we avoided traffic and got the whole thing done quickly. Thanks Ken. We will call again if needed. read more

Great service. We contacted him for a quote on moving a couch on short notice and he got back to us with a reasonable price. When moving day came, he was there 10 minutes early at the pickup location. We had to get the couch around a tricky corner and down a flight of stairs in the process. Total move took about 45 minutes including 15 minutes of driving time. He was polite, responsive, and knew the area & streets very well (Brooklyn Heights & Carroll Gardens). Overall a great moving experience, would 100% use again. read more

Excellent help in Brooklyn, NY. Very honest, hardworking and really helped us with moving and additional moving associated tasks. Highly recommend!!! read more

I had the worst service with Man with a Van serving Brooklyn this past friday (Aug 1). I work for a real estate agent and we hired Man with a Van to help unpack one of our clients on their move in day. I initially called them because I say their rating and believed them to be professional and reliable. I called 3 days earlier to schedule the move with was supposed to take 2 men to help unpack 1 bedroom apartment worth of items from the truck into the house. They did not even have to help with the transportation. The person I spoke to told me to write an email indicating all of the details which I did. (2 labor men to move items from a truck into an apartment. scheduled for 3pm Friday August 1st. Their compensation was included and the name of the client they would be receiving it from. I even called back to confirm they received the email. They said they have received the email and we were confirmed for Friday. Friday, 3pm is approaching and I call to confirm they will be arriving. 3pm comes and they are not there. 3:15pm comes and the client arrives. 3:30pm and the movers are still not there. By this time I am calling them and they are telling me I am getting transferred, and I get hung up on. Told me I was going on hold, and I get hung up on. I finally get the number of the driver and he says he did not receive an email, and that they are currently moving someone, and have somewhere to go after that. So my client is left without movers. By this time I am trying to call other movers that are sympathetic, but booked because it is the first of the month. Alas my client had no movers to help her move her bed, furniture, and boxes into her place, until the next morning when we were able to hire another moving company. read more

I called him at 2:30PM and left a message. He called back at 3:30PM and kept trying until he got through because my phone was acting up. We confirmed for the same day at 8:30PM. He showed up at 8:26PM, gingerly helped me lift the dresser into his van, and drove me to my place. His rate was more than competitive. Polite, efficient, reliable, cheap, available at the last minute - can't ask for more than that. read more

Kenneth is great. On time, super efficient and a decent rate. I moved a huge full sized platform to use for a bed. I called him 2 days before I wanted to pick it up from the Big Reuse, and initially he was booked, but called me back a bit later to say his other appt had fallen though and did I want a spot. He helped me get it in and up to the apartment, and didn't mind popping my bike in the van as well, to take it home. Done and Done. read more

There are a number of so called "man with van" services out there as we all know. I needed some stuff moved from my storage space into a 3 story walk up in Brooklyn, Kenneth was courteous and kind and had an accent (which is always good) And he got right back to me. He was not available to make the move but he quickly found two guys and got back to me with a fair quote for the next day and a good time. His men were quick, good and reliable and they didn't shirk a shoulder at the job ahead of them, as movers go what more can you ask for. Next time I have something to move in a hurry this is the first place I'm calling. read more

I never knew you could write reviews on Yelp about anything other than restaurants. Finally i have a chance to acknowledge Kenneth after years of fabulous service. Ever since i've been widowed 14 years ago with two small children, Kenneth has been the go to person for all those little jobs that were too heavy or too much of a hassle for me. I found his card on a bulletin board one day and a few years ago when i thought i lost it, i felt the same panic i felt when i thought i lost a phone or wallet - but worse. Those things are replaceable. Kenneth is not. i now make sure i have his number in several different devices so that i never lose it. Once i called Kenneth when he was out of the country and left a message. i had no clue he was away. I got a call back on my machine telling me that he is on vacation but here are the names and numbers of 3 other moving guys that he felt were reliable. He came through for me even from another continent. He is prompt, always estimates lower than i'd expect (i give him the difference as a tip), and best of all i feel comfortable leaving him to do his work while i am elsewhere in the house - he's trustworthy and considerate (making sure not to leave footprints if it rains), and several times when he saw that i was about to leave at the same time, he offered to drop me off at my destination in his van (thus saving me a cab fare). i was also very surprised one day to discover by accident that Kenneth is a photographer. when i looked at his website, displaying his work, i was shocked by how talented he is. i couldn't believe that my lugging guy (what i call him) was such a star creative person. When my daughter gets married, Kenneth will take the photographs. If you use him for for a moving job, ask him for his photography website address. it's not on the Man with a Van card he hands out. He never mentions this to his moving customers. if there were 6 stars, Kenneth would get 6. read more

Kenneth was great. Showed up on time and very professional and hassle free. He helped me move paintings to a gallery and was obviously very experienced. Checked in to reconfirm the day before and always responsive to my questions. Would definitely use him again. read more

Kenneth came at exactly the time we agreed upon. Everything went smoothly and I'm very thankful with his help. Excellent service from the English man with a van and would definitely used him again! read more

Kenneth quoted me a very fair price and was able to accommodate a move I needed to do in 2 weeks time. He helped me and my nervous cat move out of my studio apt and into storage and another location very efficiently. This was prob one of the most pleasant moving experiences I've had. Def recommend if you're moving from a small apt. read more

Reliable, efficient, friendly and responsive! A great, seamless experience.

Kenneth is my go-to for art moving. I've used him many times, sometimes with very short notice, and recommended him to others. He's punctual and professional and the quote is flat-rate, so you don't have to agonize if you hit a patch of traffic. Interesting conversationalist as well. read more

Ken is the best. He did such an awesome job helping me move and is a great guy. He ensured my move was seamless and was very well prepared. He is also a very nice guy. I highly recommend Ken. read more

Kenneth made my moving day, which should've been easy and pleasant, a terrible experience. My roommate accidentally locked me out of my apartment for 15 minutes so we couldn't get started until 15 minutes after the scheduled time - annoying, but not a big deal. HOWEVER, for some reason Kenneth showed up a full 30 minutes early with NO notice, so due to his own stupid decision to arrive early, he ended up having to wait 45 minutes instead of 15 minutes. The unbelievable part: While we were waiting, he became really agitated and upset, and suddenly went off on me and said, "This is ridiculous. I can't believe this. Do you even KNOW how busy I am today? Your move is the smallest and lowest-paying job I have today, I've got WAY bigger jobs I need to do. This is a huge waste of my time. Where the hell is your roommate, how much longer is this going to take? I can't believe this, what a waste of my time." ...I was just completely speechless and astonished by his straight-up rudeness, disrespect, unprofessionalism, and childishness. What kind of business owner talks like that to a paying customer? The only reason I forced myself to tolerate it and didn't tell him to go fuck himself is I needed to move out of my apartment that day, and knew I wouldn't be able to get another mover on such short notice. Once I had access to my apartment, the entire move took literally 30 minutes, and I did half the lifting and work. All I had was a single mattress and a few small suitcases - easiest fucking job ever. I shouldn't have even paid him the full amount. Later he was apparently embarrassed/ashamed of his behavior and knew how appallingly he had acted, because he called to sheepishly say "sorry things got a little tense." Maybe he hoped it would be enough to prevent me from leaving a negative Yelp review. Sorry - that doesn't make up for him being an unprofessional piece of shit and treating a customer with such mind-blowing disrespect. read more

Kenneth was everything I needed: he returned my call promptly, gave me a flat-rate quote (for a very fair price), showed up within fifteen minutes of when he said he would, and got me out of my previous gross apartment (bye bye Bushwick!) into a beautiful new place... fast. I really was just looking for a man with a van--I just had boxes, suitcases, and bags, but no real furniture, so I didn't need three guys, someone to help me pack, or professional movers. I needed a man with a van who could help me carry and transport stuff. Kenneth, who is really just a man with a van, was perfect for what I needed. Nothing got broken (granted, I have very little of value, and I do know how to properly pack fragile stuff), but worth saying, since that's not always been the case. The price he quoted me over the phone was the price he asked for at the end. (But tip him well: he deserves it). I hope I don't have to move again soon (I really, really like my new place), but if I do, I'm calling Kenneth. read more

Kenneth was perfect to deal with from start to finish. He's a no-nonsense guy. He's efficient, timely, and responsible. He's clearly very busy, so he doesn't waste time. He and a helper picked up a sofa in a different Brooklyn neighborhood, brought it to our apartment, and brought our existing sofa up one flight of stairs to our family room. He was very careful. Not one mark on our walls. Really nice to our toddler. He arrived exactly when he said he would, keeping in touch to let me know his ETA. I would definitely use him again! read more

very accomodating. Biz owner is also the mover. He and I worked alone moving a few bookcases and a futon. Gave me a good rate, didnt stress me out or complain, despite the rain and was very prompt. Id highly recommend for small jobs. read more

Kenneth is very professional and punctual. Helped me move a scooter. Very safe cautious driver and took care to secure the scooter. Will use again. Thanks Kenneth read more

Kenneth helped me out with my move in Brooklyn and was great! He arrived early, very friendly, knew what he was doing, quick and efficient, and made the whole process painless (as painless as moving can get at least). I would highly recommend Kenneth, and I will definitely be in touch for any help I need moving in the future. read more

Ken was amazing! With no notice he was there to help me move my Passover supplies from storage to my third floor walk-up. Friendly and patient with my kids and their million questions. He even lowered the price when the job ended up being smaller than I made it out to be! Great guy! read more

When my mom passed away, we sold her house and had to move my sister, who had lived there, too, out rather quickly to accommodate the buyers. Kenneth accommodated our last-minute request to help us move things into storage and then a few items to another location. We had underestimated how much stuff we had, which necessitated that Kenneth make a second trip. He worked around his other jobs so that he could come back and move us out the same day. I can't say enough about this guy--he goes above and beyond and offers very fair prices. Will definitely use him again when we move my sister's stuff out of storage and into an apartment. Thank you, Kenneth!!!! read more

Used them in my recent move from New Jersey to Upper East Side NY. They provided an appointment window of 12-2PM and showed up before 12PM ready to work! Had the entire truck unloaded and moved into our apartment in less than 2 hours and the building is a 5 story walk up. Worked extremely hard and efficient and did not try to drag out the time as they do work by the hour. All furniture and boxes were in the same condition as when we packed them and not even a scratch on the wall. Great price, friendly movers, and not a single issue. Would recommend to anyone that is moving within the NY area. You will not be disappointed. read more

Kenneth was very professional, prompt and personable in completing my move. I was going from a fourth floor walk-up in Bedstuy to another fourth floor walk-up in Park Slope, and he didn't complain or grumble once about the many, many flights of stairs or heat. Very reasonable quote compared to other movers for a busy time (end of August). read more

Can't say enough good things about Kenneth and "English Man With a Van" - from pricing to service he was amazing.

Kenneth was great. We moved a packed storage room, roughly equivalent in size to his cargo van to my new residence. He arrived right on time and moved everything super fast. We could have been faster if I had packed up some of the smaller, random items into bins ahead of time. Pricing was totally reasonable for the job. I would definitely recommend him! read more

Cant say enough good things about Kenneth. He was super nice, fast and careful on our move from our storage to our apartment building. I highly recommend him and will tell my friends. read more

We hired Kenneth to move stuff out of our storage unit in Manhattan and deliver it to our apartment in Brooklyn. He was on time (early, even), courteous, professional, and generous. I would definitely hope to hire him again. read more

Kenneth helped me donate window air conditioners to Habitat For Humanity. He was able to pick up and drop off the units within hours of my initial call to him. He was prompt and kept me well updated. read more

Kevin and Chris from New York Minute Movers part of Man With A Van's team were both AWESOME!! From the moment they showed up on time I had complete trust for them! They were fast but careful, very professional, we had an additional pick up and I didnt event travel with them because I knew they would handle the pick-up with ease! I highly recommend these guys!! If you need to move and want dependable movers, competitive rates, excellent attitude, Fast and Careful Movers then contact Man with a Van and ask for Chris & Kevin!! Thanks Guys! read more

Ken was great! Got back to me with a quote real fast, called ahead to let me know he'd be a skosh late because of traffic (like, 15 mins). Loading unloading went super-fast. He was also going above and beyond -- working after he twisted his ankle on a previous job -- so my only complaint is that he should make sure to take care of himself! read more

Living in NYC means you'll end up moving a few times (unless you lucked out on a rent situation). It sucks but it happens, and when it happens you need a great mover to help you out. Ken is an excellent professional mover, and friendly too! He helped us with two moves and each time offered a great flat rate price. He's quick to respond to inquires/questions and arrived on time. Our moves went off without a hitch and all my junk ended up fitting in the van without a problem. I hope I don't have to move too soon, but when it happens I'll be calling up Ken again. read more

He promptly responded to my email request for an estimate on a simple job--20 medium boxes, no furniture, from a storage unit in SoHo to a basement in Williamsburg. Kenneth came in with a reasonable bid, whereas all of the other bids required a two-hour minimum. He arrived early, was polite, efficient, and got the job done within an hour. I would use his services again. read more

Kenneth helped us with a last-minute craigslist futon move in brooklyn. He was easy to get ahold of and communicate with. He showed up on time and was professional and friendly. Would definitely hire him again for a similar move. read more

As I remember, I originally found Kenneth's services while searching for a mover on Google. I decided that Kenneth was a reasonable choice given his strong Yelp reviews, and, after speaking with him on the phone, his low quoted rate (which was $900 [including tolls and high-octane gas], and the lowest-priced quoted rate out of all the moving companies I spoke with). I was in possession of a small storage unit, of the 'locker' size, quite full of personal belongings, and an additional 5"x5"x8" unit not-as-full of personal belongings. Kenneth arrived promptly at the agreed-upon time the day of the move and together we worked efficiently to relocate all of my items from my storage units into his cargo van in a little over an hours' time. I arrived, together with Kenneth, 4.5 hours after leaving my storage spaces to my destination in Boston, and there, I helped him move all of my personal items into the ground floor of a residential house. I had talked with Kenneth on the phone to discuss his availability and rate to help with the move in mid-January, but at that time decided to give myself an additional one or two weeks more time to ensure moving to Boston was the strongest decision for me. It was, and when I called Kenneth back towards mid-February to see if he was still available, he was, and I confirmed the move for the following week. My items (see first paragraph for amount of items included in storage units) all fit into Kenneth's cargo van - though any more would NOT have fit. I understand from Kenneth that my load was rather on the large side, at least more so than what he usually transports. So, prospective customers reading this review who have many items, please do note that, both for Kenneth's sake, and yours! I am giving Kenneth's services a three-star rating simply because I myself do agree most with the three-star rating of "A-OK." If "A-OK" were four or even five stars, I then I would select four or five stars! For a better understanding of Kenneth's services and their appropriateness for your move, review the reviews then, NOT only the star rating. Thank you, Kenneth, for helping to facilitate a relatively stress-free inter-state move for this former New York resident. :-) read more

Ken was really great helping me in my recent move, which was difficult because I was moving from a fourth floor walk-up to another fourth floor. He likes a precise inventory of what he will be moving, so don't change it on him when he gets there! Overall, a very positive experience for a fair price. read more

had a great experience with kenneth few weeks ago. i needed to ship some large items from two locations (ikea and BuildItGreen in Gowanus), so i contacted kenneth. he was really quick getting back to me with a reasonable quote and availability. on the day of moving, he got in touch with me and showed up on time. really nice person and patient with a situation i had with ikea ( turned out that when i was at Ikea, they didn't have the product i wanted). with all being said, i will definitely recommend kenneth for any moving service you may need. read more

Kenneth helped me with a small move on short notice and did an excellent job. He was friendly and professional, and even brought moving supplies. His rate was very fair and I would definitely call him again if I need anything moved in the future. read more
