This company is phenomenal! The owner and staff are true professionals. The owner called me numerous times to find a mutually convenient time for the move. Peter, the owner, quoted me a tentative price and then stopped by to confirm the price which he quoted. The two prices were the same. The movers were friendly and professional. The move was completed extremely quickly. I would definitely recommend this company and will use them in the future

The move went very smoothly. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently and were done before the scheduled time. They were very professional, courteous, and handled our furniture as if it were their own.
Description of Work: Peter gave us the estimate and was very honest about what they would do - and how. He also explained what they would not do e.g. disassemble and reassemble the treadmill. The price was in line with what we paid another mover 5 months earlier (and they were awful). Do yourself a favor, don't call anyone else. Ferraro is the best!

I was totally satisfied. I would highly recommend Ferraro. I have nothing bad to say about them at all. Everything went well. Everything was labeled and everything was in great shape. I can't say anything negative about them.
Description of Work: We used Peter Ferraro Moving & Storage. We stored our furniture with him. We just worked with him through our office. They took everything out, stored it, brought it back and put it back.

The owner/GM showed up on time at my house for the quote. I found him a bit abrupt ("Let's get started" the second he walked in) but I realize he is busy and doesn't want to waste time. After showing him what is being moved and what is being put into storage, we sat down so I could ask my questions. About half the movers I interviewed gave me a quote on the spot, the other half sent later. Peter Ferrarro sends quotes later (which is fine). When I asked how long he quoted me a few days to get the quote. I said he was my last interview, so the sooner the better. He responded, "I'll do the best I can and get it to you as quick as possible. We're really busy and I've had like 8 quotes today alone". Like that is my problem? I also asked how many jobs they do out of state and he commented that they "prefer jobs within NJ". That he doesn't want to have "send his guys all over". Wow, thanks for that vote of confidence! I eventually got the quote (within 36 hours later) over email. No message with it or anything. Just an attachment, which I found unprofessional. The quote was a total bunch of scribble. There were so many #'s on the form I couldn't make heads or tails of it. It wasn't organized in any manner for me to look at it (all the other companies itemized all the items moving and everything was printed professionally). Eventually I realized it came to $9000. Keep in mind, the next highest quote I received from the other 5 providers i interviewed was $7000. So he was nearly 30% more than the next most expensive quote. I have a 3 bedroom house. I don't live in a mansion. What I realized is that Peter Ferrarro never wanted this job because it's out of state, and came up with a quote so outrageous that I would never take the job. Don't waste my time! Next time tell me on the phone you don't want to do an out of state job, or that you are too busy. The owner/GM just has a really cocky attitude about him. Perhaps he doesn't want to deal with a woman. Not sure what his problem is.
Description of Work: We asked for a moving quote from NJ to Boston. Would include all packing of goods, transport, and putting some items in storage.

Peter came to the house and advised us on the procedure. He spoke directly to the manufacturer to find out the details and special handling needed. He followed up with the shipper when they "lost" it for a day. He kept us informed on the shipping progress. It was a tight squeeze with special handling and Peter and his men did an excellent job. We would definitely use Ferraro Moving if we ever moved.
Description of Work: Peter had to deliver an expensive, 1200 lb safe that was drop shipped to him. We could not have it shipped directly to us and dropped on the curb.

They provide everything. Including the 2 days of packing and moving, it's probably about $5500. They wrap it in special paper and they do whatever you ask. I've used them 2 times in the past and they are very good. For price, they are pretty reasonable and their price is what they said it's going to be, they don't tell you the price and then they'll change it.
Description of Work: I'm using Peter Ferraro Moving & Storage, actually we're moving today. They packed for us for the past 2 days.

My wife and I (and 2 1/12 yr old) had a great experience using Peter Ferraro. We needed to move out of our condo on 5/29/13 to stay with family, and then we didn't move into our new house until 7/19/13 so we also used Peter Ferraro to store our furniture and other property for almost 2 months since they have their own storage facility. I had researched and gotten quotes from around 7 reputable moving companies in southern Rockland County/Northern NJ and Peter Ferraro was comparable with the lowest quotes I received. Peter (the owner) came to our condo to do an onsite estimate of the move and estimated it would take about 5 1/2 hrs. Even when I told him we may use another moving company, Peter still volunteered to call a 3rd party storage facility to get us a deal on a unit. Judging by his honesty and favorable quote, we ended up choosing Peter Ferraro. We were quoted for 5 1/2 hrs, but the move-out came in at 5 hrs, so it was less than what we were quoted for. The foreman (P.J. who I believe is a family member) was very friendly as were the other 3 workers. They barely took any breaks and P.J. made sure that the entire opertaion went smoothly and that all of our requests were met. The move-in to our new house also took the 5 hr minimum, so there was no additional amount than what was quoted. The foreman on that job was another family member (Phil) and he had two different workers with him. Once again the entire job went smoothly and my wife and I had no issues at all with the result. All of our furniture and other belongings were in the same condition as they were when we had put them into storage two months prior. So, after using Peter Ferraro for two moves, having to store our furniture and other property at their facility for two months, dealing with 2 different foremen, 5 different other workers and Peter himself, I can say I'm glad I did my research and chose Peter Ferraro for our moves. The total move (which includes 2 5-hr moves with $75 in insurance for each and 2 months of storage) came to about $2,500. The $970 I referenced above would be for a normal 5-hr move with insurance. Moving was stressful on its own when there weren't any issues and Peter Ferraro made sure to ease that burden. They are an honest family-run business that I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. We have family friends that are moving this month (August 2013) and I instantly recommended Peter Ferraro to them (who I believe they will end up using).

The movers arrived on time for our first move. The manager on the job (PJ) walked through the house with us to determine what was to be loaded onto the truck and what wasn't, he was very thorough and he and his team did an excellent job. They worked quickly and were very professional and polite. When they were done, it took approximately 3.5 hours to pack our entire house, PJ reviewed the details of our inventory list, as well as contact information and next steps in the process. The day we moved into our new home the movers arrived ahead of schedule and again worked very quickly. All of our belongings arrived intact with no damage to speak of. We would definitely use Peter Ferraro again and recommend them to anyone in need of moving and storage services.
Description of Work: We used Peter Ferraro to move from our home at the end of May, they stored our belongings for approximately one month and then moved us into our new home at the beginning of July.

I can't say enough about them. They came at the EXACT time they said they would; they were so pleasant and professional. It was a very tight squeeze to get the furniture out and they were so careful about removing and replacing my doors. Even though it was a small move, just a few things for my daughter's move to an apartment, they treated it was if it was their top priority. As a small aside, a friend of my daughter is moving out of the same complex and into a house nearby, and he told her he was also using your services. He was very happy to hear of our great experience. Would not hesitate to recommend Peter Ferraro movers!

A team of three men loaded the truck with all my belongings in just over two hours. They were courtious, effecient and polite. Prior to their arrival, I had packed all my personal items such as kitchenware and clothing in boxes. Any store such as Lowe's has moving boxes and packing materials that will help you with your move. Remember to wrap any fragile items in bubble wrap or protective paper and be sure to label the box with the contents. I had about 50 boxes and having the boxes labeled really helped when I moved into my new home. The Ferraro team drove to the storage facilty and unloaded the truck. Everything was placed in a 10 x 15 storage locker and remained there for 11 days. After that time, a second moving company moved all my belongings out of storage, onto the truck and into my new home. After the move in, I discovered the hardware for my full-size bed was missing. I called Peter Ferraro and he returned my call early Monday morning. He drove all the way up to Poughkeepsie to replace the missing hardware and re-assemble my bed. He really went out of his way to correct an unforseen problem. This was my first moving experience. My advice for anyone planning to move: pack everything carefully and label all boxes. Use pillows and towels to cushion each box. Make sure each box is firmly closed with packing tape. Also be sure there is not too much empty space near the top of each box. A word of advice if you want to fully protect your furniture, wrap all pieces in protective shipping plastic or bubble wrap. This professional grade of protection is available in most hardware stores or storage facilities that sell moving supplies. Also, secure all draws in place with duct tape, this will prevent dresser draws from falling out during transport. I learned from my first moving experience that it's worth the added expense of buying the right supplies if you want to keep your furniture and belongs in good condition.

The job was started on time, early AM. The movers called for additional workers, as they felt that the job was bigger than the estimate called for. They were punctual and professional. I believe that they were a bit pricey, but we received a quality move. They were careful with the furniture and with the walls. I would use their service again, and recommend them to others.

My girlfriend had used them before, so we didn't really shop the price or look at alternatives...they were that good the first time for her. They came and gave us the estimate, and we basically were quoted the 4 hour minimum. There were add ons for insurance, mattress covers, and a surcharge for the glass table. Although it was more than I hoped to pay, it wasn't worth my back or the strain on my friendships to go with amatuers. So we decided to use them. We orginally planned on moving on September 29th, but due to some lease issues postponed it to October. Although we were pressured to reserve early for the month end date, it was totally understandable as it would be a highly popular weekend. When we had to move it, they reconfirmed our new date in a day (we called them early that week) without a problem. On moving day, four guys showed up that knew what they were doing. They had a side loading truck, all the blankets and straps to protect our furniture. They did run into difficulty getting a dresser out of the second floor, but were quick to come up with a solution of removing part of the railing to get it out. With that they quickly moved the whole apartment in about an hour and half. We had them move about 12 boxes also....I wish we had packed more to use more of the 4 hour minimum but we were a little pressured to do the move and the normal day to day things. They drove less than a mile to the narrow street we were moving into. They unloaded as efficiently as they loaded. They did run into unsurmountable odds to get a box spring up the stairs, but that was our poor planning as I don't think there was anyway its was getting up there. As there was plenty of time left we had them move some boxes up from the basement. In the end we only got charged for the min as we provided the mattress covers and they didn't charge for the glass table (Good thing as I would have been bothered by that knowing the coupon was on this site). Later that day, we found a sizeable dent in the wall of the apartment from when they moved the dresser which was a disappointment. I could have notified them of it, but thought some spackle should fix it Hopefully we won't get tagged for it on our security deposit. Overall they know what they are doing and I recommend them. One suggestion if you have a small place, have boxes ready for them to utilize the time you are paying for...and save your own back and knees...
Description of Work: We moved a two bedroom apartment including living room furniture, dining table, entertainment center and all the bedroom furniture for both bedrooms. There was also a glass dining table and about 20 boxes. The move was to a house in Radburn (1930's home) on a narrow street with narrow staircases and small entranceways.
