I'd highly recommend Jorge and his team to anyone in the NYC area looking for an affordable and dependable moving company. Jorge was really easy to work with, and was super communicative throughout the entire process. On moving-day Jorge and his team came right on time, handled everything with delicacy, and worked efficiently (in 90-degree heat, I'll add). The team was consistent and transparent about the moving cost. I'm very glad I hired them for the move - it made the day so much less stressful! read more

Jorge and his helper busted his butt to move our very heavy mattress from the store to our home. He wrapped it in plastic and had it super protected. He answered fast, arranged a time that worked for both of us, and showed up on time. He and his colleague couldn't have been nicer and harder working. He's also INCREDIBLY reasonable in pricing. Super grateful for his service and will absolutely use again! read more

Local Man With A Truck - Movers Near Me

Just moved with Local Man with a Truck for the second time, and couldn't be happier with my experience! Jorge and his team are phenomenal and was definitely the best choice my move. Didn't have to worry about anything being too heavy because Jorge and his men got it covered. Support local businesses! read more

Jorge and his crew were very dependable, efficient, and communicative during my move. With the acknowledgement that moving is never fun, and usually emotionally tense, Jorge made it clear that the job is transactional, and not at all personal. It was a difficult, strenuous move, but the guys gave it their all, and they got the job done in good time, with nothing damaged. read more

Jorge and his crew did a great job with my local move of a few furniture items. They were on time and efficient. The price was fair and there were no hidden fees. He is thorough and detail oriented. I will definitely use this company again for my future out of state move in a few years read more

My first ever review and honestly I am so thankful for this team. Jorge came with 5 + people and powered through a 5-floor walk-up. They were careful with our things, super friendly, made moving so easy in NYC during COVID. I would recommend them anytime, really the best moving experience in NYC so far! read more

Jorge is the best! He is so reliable, so fast, and comes wirh his team and fixes every home task I have had: moving furniture between first and second story, assembling a large heavy bed, moving stuff to my storage, you name it , he can do it! I had spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to rearrange the apartment and expected to do it in several trips but Jorge's team just heard what I wanted to do, instructed his team, and few hours later, voila! He is my go-to person for heavy duty home tasks, beyond just moving and packing! Recently, I got a new bed frame and I could not put my bed together to save my life, so Jorge was the first person I called! He came over and voila! Done in one hour! Amazing service ! read more

Jorge and his associate were able to help make a move less stressful, they were very kind and professional and competitive with pricing. They offered a flat rate service that blew the competition out of the water. I would recommend hiring them for your moving needs. read more

With all these 5-star reviews, I was completely disappointed. Just finished my moving trips with this company. Jorge/George is unfriendly & grouchy. He is mean & condescending to his employees (which were teenage boys) and doesn't listen to directions. I was telling him the best way to put MY THINGS into MY storage unit and he walks away saying "yeah, yeah, yeah. " At the end of the service, after he's paid, he attempts to give some half-baked apology saying "if 'they' were grumpy it's because 'they're' exhausted..." there was more but I walked away because his excuses were just BS. (Especially since the company is open 24/7)Jorge/George was stubborn & unfriendly to me as well as to the staff @ my moving storage space. Everyone else was nice and respectful and told me congratulations on my new place. The team came unprepared to lift a washing machine although they were told ahead of time. He kept complaining about how heavy the washing machine was which that frustration was taken out on my couch, trying to fit it into the storage unit. Also yelling at the boys but not communicating to them what it was that he wanted. He also showed up to move my apartment with improper footwear (CROCS). Just all around bad vibes. I've only given this company two stars because they were available last minute and gave us a flat rate of $700 including two stops. But I don't recommend them. read more

Jorge and his team were a pleasure to work with. They packed me up, moved me, unpacked everything and helped with placement of furniture, etc. at my new place. They worked efficiently and cheerfully. While moving is always stressful, they worked really hard to make it easier for me which I appreciated! read more

Wow! I never leave reviews, but had to with this company because of their top notch service. Jorge was so helpful from beginning to end, extremely nice and a genuine guy. Very professional. I called VERY last minute and we spent some time going back and forth on when he could fit me in, every other company I reached out to before just basically said- too short of notice and hung up on me, not Jorge, he was like, "Okay, don't worry- let's tackle a time that can get you moved." Showed up on time, went above and beyond in every aspect. He had help from Stuart and Jose- but really were on top of their game. I can't recommend these guys enough. Way better than other any moving company I've ever used before. read more

I would recommend Local Man With A Van to anyone who needed to move in Brooklyn. Jorge was very easy to contact, extremely helpful, and had an organized team. They were all very kind, and did not cause any damage to any of my things, even if I managed to poorly pack some items. I was under the impression that it would take two trips to complete my move, but Jorge was determined, and found a way to safely fit everything in one. Later that night, I realized that I had left two items in the back of their truck. I reached out to Jorge, and he actually came back by midnight, in his personal car, and returned my items to me. I will definitely be reaching out to him again whenever I need help moving. Not only does he have great experience moving residential requests, he also can safely transport art for galleries and shows! I wish I could give a review higher than 5 stars! Thank you again, Man With A Van! read more

Jorge and his team are amazing! They moved me from Astoria to Long Island. Disassembled my big items packed/secured them from my third floor walk up, and then brought them to my new apartment and reassembled them for an unreal price! Nothing was damaged, he actually fixed my dresser and the back of my dresser that wasn't properly on! In less than 2 hours my stuff was packed, a few hours laters, my items were moved in ready to be used! No contracts to sign, just quick phone calls and no hassle at all! Thanks so much again Jorge! Your team is amazing and won't look any further if I ever have to move!! read more

Jorge and his crew are, as most of the sane reviewers here note, incredibly efficient, reasonable, careful, and just generally great human beings--which makes moving anything easier. I had them move my beloved leather chair to my friend's apartment a mile away and when we were pulling up into a PRIME parking spot in front of her building, I said, "oh sh*t, I forgot the bag of cushions! Argh." They said no problem and despite my protests insisted on driving all the way back to my building to get the bag and then return with it in tow. They were great about measuring the staircase and wrapping the chair, carefully maneuvering it upstairs without banging anything. It was completely painless. Prior to the move itself Jorge was great at texting me quotes and timeframes, something that allowed both my friend and I to prepare for the delivery/move. Will definitely use this team again and highly recommend them vs. renting a van of your own and trying to move big pieces while subjecting your un-move-ready back to torture. read more

The owner meant well but he arrived 1.5 hours late, he had to give way too much direction to his associates. He seemed to be doing all the work. The whole move took way too long. The items were going into a storage unit and by the time they were finished, the storage unit was an absolute mess. Nothing was organized and everything was just thrown on top of each other. Very frustrating. read more

Absolutely brilliant moving service! Jorge was amazing from beginning to end. He was so careful with every item and helpful to where I would like each item to go in new place. Jorge went above and beyond, so professional and helpful. Price was extremely reasonable . Highly recommend! The best! read more

See all

Jorge and his guys are awesome! I called him last minute and he was able to squeeze me in the next day, super accommodating and fast and efficient service. I was moving out of a 4th floor walk up and they brought all my heavy boxes down with no issues. He quoted me very reasonable price before hand and got the whole move done in under 2 hours. Even gave me Pringles to snack on for the ride over :) I have no hesitations recommending them to anyone! read more

Had a great experience with Jorge and his fantastic helpers. Professional, friendly, on time, communicative. Highly recommend

These guys were the best, first time with movers in NYC heard so many horror stories and was nervous! Seriously the friendliest people ever and really professional. We're determined to get a heavy sleeper into my tiny studio and did it! Would not hesitate to call them up for my next move or recommend them to friends. read more

George and his brother came to move my stuff this morning and did a great. They did it quickly, protected everything well and were super reasonable. Their truck was clean, they used appropriate materials to wrap everything. The only reason I gave them 4 stars and not 5 is that they arrived about 45 minutes late. But, great job. Thanks read more

Jorge and the movers were awesome. They got there on time, worked quickly, and were very professional and cordial. The price was reasonable and the overall experience was great. read more

Jorge was great, he kept up communication on both ends. His rates were reasonable as well. I will definitely use him again.

Jorge and his workers were available same day and had very reasonable prices. I hired them to move a bed with headboard/footboard. They disassembled and then reassembled the bed. They even helped me out by removing a very old (and heavy) stationary bike. read more

The crew was awesome. It's was the end of the month Friday and we were the last move of the day. They got to ours a little late but they were all in good spirits and did a great job. read more

What a Professional and Reliable Moving Company. Jorge and his team were careful when i had to move into my 2 bedroom apartment. They wrapped all my items in blankets. I had no issues at all. I Highly recommend them if you need any moving/delivery services. read more

Jorge is fantastic! He helped me (and my dog Penelope) move (in the pissing rain) from our temporary apartment into our new home after recently relocating to the USA. He was super quick and efficient and generally a really lovely guy. I would definitely recommend his service and would not hesitate calling upon him again in the future. read more

I just want to thank Jorge and his team.. my last minute move went smoothly thanks to his efficient work. They were very careful with all my stuff and they came prepared with all the tools to make sure everything was handled with care. I would highly recommend them !! and I can never thank them enough .. great job guys! read more

Jorge and his colleague assisted with my move from NYC to Jersey City last week and it couldn't have gone more smoothly. Jorge was communicative throughout the process, arranged for a COI within a day, and arrived on time the day of the move. He and his colleague were efficient in loading and unloading the vehicle, and most importantly were also very careful with my belongings. They were reliable, responsive, easy to work with, and very competitive in pricing. I recommend them highly. read more

Moving is about as stressful a life event as you can have, and George and Niall made it so much easier for me. Despite being stuck in traffic on the BQE (he even sent me pictures to show the standstill!) and being late, they made up for it in "can do" attitude and fast, efficient work ethic (also thanks to my excellent, secure packing! haha). They were a calming, confident presence when I was nearly in a full blown panic attack, and the price was more than fair. I will def call them the next time I move, though I hope it's not too soon! UPDATE: Well, I had to call them again, and even though George was out of the country, he answered my text and arranged my move! Above and beyond! And a great price to move my stuff out of storage and into my friend's apartment (on the third floor). These guys are the best! read more

So I have never used movers before and was nervous, especially moving from Brooklyn to Harlem and how long a trip it was. However the company was great, friendly, professional, and it was done in 3-4 hours including travel time. All of my stuff looks as good as when I packed it! Definitely will use them if I ever have to move again. read more

The Best movers ever!!! Needed to get my ex out of my apartment and she couldn't find anyone.... I called these guys and they came in an 1 1/2 hours. George was very helpful. He brought plenty of staff with him so I didn't have to help. He listened to all of my ex's demands and complied without blonking an eye. He and his workers got all her stuff out quick. The best part was they didn't damage anything so I didn't have to hear her complain. I will always use them! read more

George and team are the absolute best. Hired them a week ago to deliver a craigslist item and again last night for another job. Both times I booked only a day in advance and he was professional, accommodating, and prompt. Plus just super nice guy to work with. Will be using them moving forward for any short moves I got. Very reasonable pricing too and no hidden charges. read more

Best moving experience ever! They were all friendly and efficient! My friend recommended them and I'm glad she did. They were on time and very professional and not to mention the price was very reasonable. I will recommend them to all my moving friends. read more

Very punctual, friendly, professional, reliable, easy to work with. I'm late to getting this review out here, but that only speaks to how busy my move was and how easy Jorge and crew made it so that I have felt no urgency to complain...because there are no complaints! They moved all my belongings from brooklyn to an off the beaten path basement storage in upstate NY...in the winter! Highly recommend. read more
