Licensing and Insurance

One of the key aspects of a reliable moving company is proper licensing and insurance. 

Before making a decision, ensure that the company holds the necessary licenses and credentials to operate legally. 

Ask for proof of insurance coverage, including liability and workers’ compensation, to protect yourself from potential liabilities during the moving process.

Experience and Expertise

An experienced moving company in NYC can make a significant difference in the efficiency and success of your move.

Consider the timing of your move in NYC to potentially save on costs. 

Off-peak seasons or mid-week moves are often less expensive as demand is lower. 

Moreover, being flexible with your moving dates can allow you to take advantage of discounted rates offered by some moving companies.

For years, two things have remained constant: the quality of our service and our honest pricing.

Packing and Unpacking Services

Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of hiring professionals for packing and unpacking.

I used Excellent Quality Movers for a local move in April, and they lived up to their name! Everything about the move was professional and well done. Ahead of the move, Sergei reached out with all the costs, policies, and timing in a very clear manner, and there was no surprises come move day. For the move itself, Evgenii and Vlad assisted me and they were great! They showed up on time, we’re very efficient with the move, and took great care while moving my furniture.

I would definitely use Excellent Quality Movers again!

This is the 4th time I’ve used EQ movers and I had a great experience with Yevgeni and Vlad. Arrived on time to both locations, and picked up the furniture I purchased in a timely manner (even earlier than expected!).

When they arrived, they disassembled my current bed, assembled the new with absolutely no problem. Professional, efficient, straightforward and excellent communicators.

I will hire them again (and request the same crew!) when I move next month.

These are the only guys I’ll ever call for my moving needs in NYC. I’ve moved 4 times within Brooklyn over the last 9 years (!!), and I’ve used Excellent Quality Movers each and every time. They are always punctual (if not early), fast, friendly, efficient, and treat my furniture and boxes with great care. They are seriously the best.

We hired EQM most recently in April 2022. The three guys who came—Eugeni, Vlad, and Dima—did incredible work and really made move-in day far less stressful. Best NYC movers you could ask for!

Crew helped me recently with moving commercial space within NYC. I m super satisfied with the service. It was 2 huge trucks + 8 men project and EQ was able to provide me with a bargain price offer compared to the other companies(ended up almost twice cheaper in the end then the other quotes). Company took great care while disassembling/ reassembling our furniture and everything was done in a single business day, which was astonishing due to the size of the project. Nothing got broken, these guys are professionals. Thank you a lot. Will definitely use again.

Get the COIs over to my buildings, no upfront charges.
Showed up on time.
Accurate, Professional and polite.
Reassemble some furniture, reasonable prices.
No damages. No stress.
Thank You, guys!

These guys were fabulous from the moment of setting up an appointment and until the very last minute of the move. I usually don’t post reviews but I was deeply impressed by the job they did for us. EQ moved us all the way to Austin, TX from Staten Island, NY. These guys were not the cheapest but rather unique in the service they offered. They do not subcontract any long haulers or any other companies to finish the long distance move. The crew disassembled, delivered and reassembled an entire 3-bedroom house. I highly recommend this company! Thank you a lot! A+++

They were great! Packed my kitchen, bedroom, and living room in about an hour and a half, nothing was broken or lost, and even disassembled & re-assembled my bed frame as needed due to the space limitations in the building. Thank you!"
