About us

The Murphy name has been connected with the moving and storage industry for over 100 years and our company is now being proudly run by the fourth generation. Years of pride in workmanship and experience have been passed from generation to generation. The first truck to move a family coast to coast from New York to California was a member of the Murphy family. A lot has changed since the first generation started the business with a horse and cart and the family has seen many changes and kept up with the technology that comes along with each new generation. Our number one goal is complete customer satisfaction. The cornerstones of our business – integrity, professionalism and hard work – help us achieve this goal for each and every customer. Additionally, our years of experience in the moving and storage business have given us a keen understanding of what makes for a successful move, and we put this knowledge to use from the beginning of a job to its completion. Customer service is our #1 concern from your initial contact with our office staff throughout the moving process; packing, loading and delivery of your goods at your new home. Our employees receive rave reviews from all our customers. They are described as polite, hard-working, responsible, respectful, and a “real pleasure”. We are proud to have these men and women as part of our company. So whether you need a dining room set moved into the garage while the floors are being refinished, or whether you are moving cross-country, give John C. Murphy Moving & Storage a call. No job is ever too big or too small. See what a difference a quality mover can make.

Hello, We do not have any record of handling a move for you on May 31,2013. Would you please provide us with more information, perhaps a copy of your Bill of Lading. Thank you.

It went fine.
Description of Work: Received an estimate for moving over the state line. The estimate appeared to be fair but the not to exceed quote was not clear. For reasons not important here, we chose an alternative company. We have no reason to believe Murphy would not provide service as expected. The sales associate showed up on time and with pad and pen noted everything to be moved. He was prompt and polite.

Description of Work: Completely disinterested in providing estimate for job. Was looking for help for a same-day move in Fairfield county. Gave Murphy Movers a call and rough sequence of events 1.) Lack of interest on phone - "You sure you want us to estimate it? There's going to be drive charges... " 2.) Estimator comes out after asking them to bid on it 3.) Week of silence 4.) Estimate trickles in a week later. They were going to be the first and only company I had estimate the move, but in the week of radio silence, another (highly rated, reviewed on AL) company came out and did a walk-thru, provided a same day estimate, and ultimately came in at 50% less expensive for more services (more guys, more packing). Oh well - guess their business is so strong they didn't need mine. Luckily for them, I won't be calling them again.

this compant e move
Description of Work: Based on an unexpected change in closing dates I contacted Murphy moving six days before the move. I explained my perdicument to the person on the phone and that I was in a bind. She stated that there was no one to come to our house to give us an estimate for three days and that they would not have enough time to set up the move. I asked if it would be at all possible to help me out and find someone to come out and give us an estimate. She stated they could not. Needless to say, I was quite disappointed. The unwillingness to even try to get an estimator out tells me all I need to know about this company. Thankfully I found a company that was willing to do what they needed to do to help us out. I would never use this company nor would I ever recommend them. They could not care less than they did.

While we understand your frustration having to put together a move with 6 days notice we feel that you were very unfair with your comments and your F ratings for services that we did not render. Our office was being honest with you.
