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.

Description of Work: The amazing team from John C Murphy moved us in the rain! It did not slow them down and they went to great effort to keep our places (both old and new) very neat and clean. We had a TON of stuff and the team was very fast, professional, and friendly- really cannot recommend highly enough! I hope to never move again but if I do it'll be with these guys!

Description of Work: A multiple move; from a large condo in Westchester to: 1st, a 1BR apt nearby -- then to a 2 BR condo and strage facility in SC. For the most part, very professional -- quick, knowledgeable and efficient. The head men in both instances were great. The only problem we had was at the storage facility in SC, where the inventory delivery seemed more arbitrary and chaotic, without the logistical planning they evinced in the rest of the moves. One man in particular seemed to spend a lot of time on his phone. . . But all-in-all, a very good moving experience.

It was a totally satisfactory experience. The company is an agent for Bekins Movers. Every element of their work was punctual, professional &polite. Moving is scary. Their professionals explained every step, estimated the cost accurately, arrived on time, packed carefully and delivered and unpacked as promised. There was one small bit of information that did not get transferred to the delivering agent, but they took care of the problem easily. I would definately use them again.

The movers were so helpful when they reached my Aunt's apartment, they asked her and placed each box in it's respective room. Her motorized chair was unwrapped, set up and was tested before they left. We really appreciated how easy they made this move for her. We would definitely recommend them to anyone shipping or moving near or far away.
Description of Work: We had to move several boxes and a few pieces of furniture for our elderly Aunt who moved to Florida. We were very happy with the quality of service, the promptness of accommodating our delivery, even though we did not have a full truck. They even provided some odd sized boxes for pictures. When the drivers picked up the items, they carefully wrapped the furniture, marked and sealed all the containers. We were very impressed with their professionalism.

I did most of the box packing myself what they did was more of furniture moving. They were incredibly professional, prompt and polite. They were very nice people. I will be using their services again within the next month. There was absolutely no damage. They were very solicited people and it is one of the reasons why I am going to be a repeat customer. When they came out to give the estimate and see what needs to be moved one thing that really impressed me was the gentleman who came out was very helpful at telling me how I could save some money. He said if you are going to do the packing yourself make sure you do the lamps because we would have to charge you more for it because we would have to double box it. I was going to frankly get it done by them until he told me and that I felt it was really nice. That was really impressive and the reason why I would be a repeat customer. I think their price was excellent especially this part of the world. This is an expensive area to live.

They understand that moving is a very stressful and thankless experience. They had a good bedside manner and treated everything very gently and took care of all of my possessions. They secured and treated everything very well and were delicate in their moving. They understand that moving is a lousy experience and they were very compassionate about taking care of all of my items. The price was fair.

The two men who helped were very polite, ultimate professionals who took great care to protect, transport, and unload my furniture. They were obviously experienced, and cared about the quality of their work. This left such an impression upon the sellers of the furniture we picked up from that this other couple will use John Murphy Movers in the future. This company is first rate.
Description of Work: Met me at a separate location, carefully wrapped an antique dining room set, armchairs, mirror and various fine furniture, moved all of this to my home, unpacked and placed this furniture. In addition, moved several large, heavy pieces of furniture in my home to other locations.

They came when they said that they were going too. They took good care of everything. They wrapped the furniture up really nice. They were professional. They loaded everything up without a problem and unloaded everything without a problem. They cleaned up after themselves very well. They told me that they recycle all of the paper they use. They were really great.

From the moment they walked through the door they were very thorough. He seemed to ask the right questions and he gave us an estimate. On the moving date they came out to our home, tagged all the furniture and helped us wrap the larger pieces. They packed and wrapped wonderfully. They had us packed and ready to go in no time. They did everything professionally. They delivered to our apartment and to our storage locker. Their price was actually lower than their quote. They had great references and I would recommend them to anyone even if they are just moving in state.
