J & J Movers

It didn't. They promised a delivery date, then waffled on it,, then said it was on again. Promised multiple times to call at a certain time and then didn't. I finally gave up and found another mover who could do the job.

J and J Movers quoted a great price. We booked them with less than a week to the move. The truck was on time!! It took a bit longer than originally expected to get everything out of the condo. But, given that there were three flights of stairs, which were narrow and had a lot of corners, I don't blame them! Moving everything into the new place was much quicker and run very smooth. They were prompt, courteous and very careful. NOTHING was damaged or broken. I would definitely use J and J again... hopefully, not too soon!

I was told that a 26' truck would come at 9:00 am, I even confirmed it with them one day before the move. On the move day, they showed up at 10:15 am with a 16 ft Budget truck. The movers suggested I should have my move at another day or hire another mover with a bigger truck. I was a little disappointed by that attitude and told them it was too late for them to suggest that since I had the moving and vacating dates pre planned. Because of a smaller truck instead of making one trip we had to make two trips,hence taking us two and a half hour extra. They offered an extra 5% discount when I complained. Three movers showed up but only two were working. One guy, big one, was highly unprofessional, not moving at all, walking slow, not picking stuff up, hindering everything. I wish I had made a video of him wasting all that time. The other two movers were hard working, energetic, fast and they also kept complaining about the lazy guy and told me it's his first day at the job. If it were not for the two hard working guys, I would have given this an and quot;Fand quot; grade. I also tipped all three of them before the start just to make sure they are happy since it was a hot day, I guess it was a wasted tip for the lazy guy. I tipped the two hard working guys extra after the job was completed. Overall tip $100. For the next time I would like to go with someone more reliable.

I felt the price was good compared to others. Scheduling was fine. There were three movers here doing the work and it took about 4 or 5 hours to complete the move. They were very efficient once they got started. They couldn't start the truck since it was really cold which is why they were late to our appointment.

they were great and I was really happy to have found them through Angie's List. They didn't wreck anything. They were helpful and much less expensive. They were very friendly and helpful. The guys were good to work with and I would use them again. It was a little more than they had said it would be but I have found with mover's it is always that way.

As we all know, moving can be quite stressful. I contacted J and J Movers because they serviced both ME and MA. Jorge, the owner, has a very relaxed demeanor; which is the reason for my choice. He provided me with a quote and times available. I contacted him the day before to confirm and he assured me that all was in order. The next day, the movers arrived on time, moved my items in the quoted time frame and were on their way. I was so impressed with the service that I contacted them again when it was time for me to move my items from the storage facility to my new home. Again, the quoted time was right on the money. I would strongly recommend J and J Movers to anyone looking for moving services in either ME or MA.

I made the arrangements for my elderly parents. The movers were professional, respectful, and very careful with everything. They called the evening before to say they would be coming later than originally scheduled, but it wasn't a problem. I found their pricing to be better than other companies I checked with.

The movers arrived late, but they did call to say they were running late. Worked very hard. Very Polite. Good guys.

I contacted Jand J through email. They provided a quote - 3 hr minimum + $85 for the truck. We didn't need the full three hours since there wasn't much to move but agreed to hire them anyway. 3 guys showed up. They were prompt and courteous and got the job done in less than 2 hours. It was a little more than I wanted to pay but they did a good job.

Went well. Arrived on time, easy to communicate with the team, responsible with our stuff

arrived 1/2 late but called and notified me of being late. Were curtious and everyting was delivered with no proble,s.

The crew (3), lead by Derrick showed up on time and worked dilligently for the two hours I had paid for. The moved all furniture/matresses requested from my second floor to the container in the driveway. It was neatly arranged and set up the way I requested. They also had time to move 20 large contractor bags of toys and miscelaneous other items, as well as wrap and move all of my dining room chairs (8), a hutch, small table, tv stand and matress from my first floor. I had purchased protective pads and dust covers for most of my furniture, which they used to cover/wrap the delicate pieces, but I believe they also sell the supplies you may need too. I plan to have them back to more all of my furniture from the container into my home when renovations are complete. I was very impressed with their work and the speed at which they moved everything. I was able to get a lot more furniture moved in 2 hours than I was expecting.

The move was a dreadful experience from which we are still recovering. Before I get into the details, I would like to say that the moving crew themselves were great -- Derrick, Luis, and Ron were all hardworking and courteous. But the move was incredibly badly managed by Jand J, from beginning to end. I had used Jand J last year to move some furniture from storage, and because that was a positive experience, I decided to hire them again. I sent Jand J an itemized list of things that had to be moved, and also explained that there were stairs at both ends of the move, which was from Beverly to Swampscott, MA. I received a bid of under $1000. The move ended up costing me over $3700, and with the exception of two beds, there was no furniture setup at the end. We went to put together our dining table three days ago and found that all the antique hardware to attach the legs to the table is missing ... and Jand J has yet to respond to my phone messages about this. The move was supposed to occur on Thursday, May 30. The day was very hot, and it was very wearing on the movers to be moving heavy boxes up and down stairs. They only had three guys, so it wasn't as efficient as it could have been. They asked if it would be okay to continue the move the next day because they were suffering from the heat. I agreed. They promised to be back the next day, Friday, at around noon. They didn't show up, and no one contacted me from Jand J until 6:30 p.m., in response to my voicemail to them, promising that they and quot;were comingand quot;. At 7:30 p.m., I received another call from Derrick, telling me they would be there at 8:30 p.m. (they were finishing another move). I asked him how they were going to accomplish the move, starting at 8:30 p.m.? When it became apparent that they were talking about moving in the middle of the night, I said and quot;noand quot; because of the neighbor uproar it would cause at both ends. They said they were booked on Saturday, but how about Sunday? I reluctantly agreed and they arrived at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday. Again, only three guys, and the truck was not sufficiently large to handle the move. They had to make two trips, which meant I paid for travel time, and even so, my handicapped 64-year-old boyfriend and I (60) had to handle the overflow in our car -- with my bad back, both of us suffered moving heavy items to our car by ourselves. They finished the move at 5:30 a.m.!! I collapsed before they finished. The whole experience was awful and costly, and I would NEVER hire them again! And I still can't put my dining table together.

George gave me an estimate that was fairly close to what the final charges were. The move went extremely smooth, stress-free with no damage and very punctual. The crew consisted of Derek, Aaron, Luis, and Jose, all very polite and helpful. They definitely were experienced and worked well together. They loaded the 2 trucks, stored them overnight and delivered and off loaded the next day. Although I was really stressed, they made the move a pleasant experience and I will definitely use them again without hesitation.

I had an excellent experience with J and J Movers and would highly recommend them. We moved our office to a new location and was concerned about our IT equipment being damaged. I shopped around and received quotes from other companies- Gentle Giant, Spry Moving to name a few, and ultimately chose J and J because of the price and courtesy of the man who came out for the original quote. Their price was significantly less, and so was the insurance I purchase because of our equipment. The new office space was difficult for them because of the location and layout (3 floors), but nothing was damaged. The movers were prompt, courteous and efficient. They tolerated our indecisiveness when directing the location of items. I was extremely nervous about the whole ordeal, but had such a great experience and have nothing but great things to say about them.

We had a great experience with Jand J. Quote was received timely and price was extremely reasonable and right on with the quote we received. Derek and the crew arrived right on time and were very accomodating and polite. Would definitely recommend Jand J and would use them again.

Well, things started well with a prompt solid estimate and then the delivery a couple wardrobe boxes to help out just a couple days before the move started. When the movers showed up on time, I was psyched but also a little concerned that the truck would be too small. But figuring that the moving company that gave me an in-home estimate and saw all my things would know better than me, I kept my mouth shut. Movers were pleasant personalities and worked fast and well together. About 3 hours in, it was becoming very apparent the truck was too small. So my wife and I had to rush over to a Uhaul and rent another truck. The movers were nice enough to load that one too, but this was obviously an unnecessary expense and inconvenience. In another case of and quot;maybe I should've said something but I figured the movers would know better than Iand quot; -- upon unloading the things, several pieces of word furniture -- which had survived more than 40 years of existence without getting a nick, were scratched up in the truck. I was surprised to see the movers not wrapping the individual wood pieces in blankets to prevent such scratches but figured they knew what they were doing and wasn't about to tell the pros what to do. One thing that was broken, the driver was able to fix with tools he brought. Movers were also able to get a tight-fitting refrigerator out of the old house and into a new basement. In the end, I was able to get 1 hour of service as well as a couple fees taken off the bill. While the drivers were friendly and helpful, I would've rather had my things not get scratched and had everything fit on one big truck. I went with JJ because their estimate was lowest. With the add-ons (extra hours beyond the estimate), they were still cheaper ... but their quality of work was probably proportionally below the other companies I received estimates from ... although you never know.

They called ahead and showed up just about on-time. First they did a walk-through to survey the items to be loaded and then proceeded to load truck to capacity in about 4 hours (I had done all packing and disassembling of furniture). I did have one large bookcase headboard for queen bed that was very difficult to fit through turns in stairway (had friends move this piece in originally and I know it was a very tight fit)- this took them about 20-25 minutes but they managed with minimal damage (just a small piece of wood in back that can not be seen and not really important to the structure). Everything else went smoothly and the unloading went very fast, total time about 5.5 hours. They charged for exact time rather than a full 6 hours (usual practice is not to pro-rate for partial hours), acknowledging slight damage to headboard. All in all they worked extremely hard (I also included a tip)and the price was well worth it and better than similar pricing from other companies on one of the busiest days of the year.

We were pleased overall in that the items we needed moved were moved to a storage unit in preparation for a renovation on our home. The response to my email inquiry was prompt and the price quoted was what we paid, although we felt it was a bit high. A few minor issues need to addressed by the company to improve service. There didn't seem to be accurate communication between the office staff and the movers. When I sent the inquiry, I said that the items would be going from house to storage unit, but on the day of the move, the movers were initially sent to the storage unit first and had to then come to the house. They were earlier than expected, so it didn't really delay the move. When they arrived, they didn't seem adequately prepared to remove a cast iron pellet stove, even though I specifically listed the items to be moved in the email. There were two movers only one of which seemed experienced. The younger of the two failed to wear a back brace belt when moving the stove and then complained about his back hurting for the rest of the move. The other gentleman seemed much more professional. They also didn't have professional equipment. The truck was a Budget rental truck and the four-wheel dolly used to move the pellet stove was not the best for moving an object of that weight. They struggled to get the stove on the dolly and then the dolly up the ramp and into the truck. A truck with an automatice gate lift would have been better. I think this is a small company that wants to do a good job, but needs to do better with internal communication, preparation and providing proper equipment.

Made a phone call with request to move. Was asked for details and was given an estimate, that turned out to be very accurate.Overall, the experience was very positive.

They were 45 minutes late (but called ahead). I was fine with that. They did bring a truck that was too small- had I not moved every box and drawer myself ahead of time, they would have had to make 2 trips. They did have to go back for the gas grill. There was no wall or door damage, but there were 2 furniture small scratches. The guys were great, friendly and professional and I was overall very pleased with my move, and will use them again.

After reading the great reviews on Angie's list, I called and got an estimate that came in around $750, compared to others that were in the $1,000-$1,500 range for the same move. Given the high ratings, I opted to go with Jand J. The crew of 3 was supposed to show up at 9am, but called a few minutes before to tell me they were running late. Ultimately they showed up around 10:30am, after a second call to let me know they would be even later. Once they arrived, we did a walk through and they checked all the stuff that was to be moved. The job finally and quot;startedand quot; at 10:45am. Through out the load-up process, which took about 4 hours, I was unhappy to see that the junior member of the team (Mike?) seemed to be making trips without any boxes, and would sort of mill around until he finally took something. Another guy (Ron) worked pretty steadily, though. I noticed that the 3 of them were also spending time standing around every so often next to the truck, not actually moving things. Granted it was a hot day, but I think there should have been more of a steady stream than there was. On the unload side, there was also a slow process. They filled an elevator, brought it up and unloaded it, then brought the load to the apartment. Meanwhile the one guy with the truck was staging the next load by the elevator. They only had one hand truck (not prepared!) so upstairs was much slower on the delivery side, even with two people. The entire move took about 8.5 hours elapsed. Total cost (after 5% Angie's List discount) was $945, plus the $100 I spent for the upgraded insurance. Ultimately everything arrived safely, but it is my feeling that the move just took much longer than it should have, accounting for the difference from the original estimate. The lateness of the start also is a concern, and between the two, I would hesitate to recommend Jand J.

I searched for movers on angie's list and narrowed it down to three. I decided on Jand J because of their rate and the fact that they charge from the time the moving team gets to the house till the time they leave the destination. George was very responsive throughout the process, answering any questions i had promptly. The moving team came on time, i explained where everything is, they moved stuff with great care and packed them well in the truck. At the destination, i explained where everything will go and they unloaded all the stuff. The entire move was done in 5 hrs as George had originally estimated. Very happy with the overall process and highly recommend Jand J movers.

He was very professional. He sounded like he knew what he was doing. Suggested we donate the extras to the Salvation Army.

Our experience with J and J was very pleasant. They were quick with their email responses and the price quoted was much lower then the local competition. What made me decide to hire them was that they did not charge for travel time to and from. Their clock started the minute they got to the property. The movers were courteous, punctual and efficient. Although they were a little slower than I would have liked, at least they were extremely careful with all my items. I had some heavy furniture in the lot and they handled it expertly. I would definitely hire them again.
