A Man With a Van & More!, Inc.

Jimmy responded to my initial phone call inquiry within hours. Move to storage went extremely smoothly--Jimmy got in touch with Westy's and coordinated the size unit and the move-in. All I had to do was go to Westys and sign the contract. Additionally, Jimmy has a relationship with several charities and took furniture, dishes, etc. directly to their distribution center so I didn't have to coordinate an additional pickup. The crew is wonderful--really, really hard working and careful. Packing day crew of 3 arrived exactly on time and quickly and carefully prepped for the move. Moving day from house and storage started on time and the crew worked nonstop until 6pm. They were very careful and worked together extremely well. I hope I never have to move again, but I will never use any other company than Man with a Van and More if I do have to move!

Most of the story is described above, but I have to mention that there wasn't a single scratch or dent to the building at either end of the trip. As with any professional, the work put into the preparation usually shows itself in the final product. A couch being moved was placed on a heavy moving blanket ( to protect the floor), stood on its end and wrapped in other moving blankets, then bound in plastic wrap, only then was it lifted and carefully carried out. Also, no thing or person stands still with Jimmy around. Even while the crew chief Danny had things moving smoothly, Jimmy was having the guys try out different packing tape, tossing those that didn't make the cut, and returning with many extra rolls of the ones that passed muster. I would recommend and/or use Jimmy again.

Overall, it went very smoothly. This was a last minute move since a real estate closing was moved up a few days. I called on a Sunday mid-day and needed to move the next day (Monday). James texted me 30 minutes later to fill out his online form, and then subsequently emailed me back a quote ($1,000). The price was probably slightly on the high end of what I expected but I am willing to pay for last minute responsiveness. The next morning, when I got to the apartment 5 minutes before the start time, the movers and truck were already there with a parking spot (I was confused...this is the first time this has happened in 5 moves in NYC). The price went up a little because I added a large sectional sofa that was not on my online list (fair). There were 3 movers (I met two and one stayed in the truck). They were quick, professional and all business. I would use them again....

The guys were great, arrived early, packed quickly and unpacked quickly. Everything arrived in good condition and they reassembled my bed at the new apartment.

I would say, overall, this was a pretty much pain-free move. Usually dealing with moving companies is a nightmare, but I can say this time it was really straightforward. The best part was how quickly Jimmy (owner) gets back to you. He gave me an estimate within 24 hours and responded to my questions usually within 1 hour. His crew was exceptionally fast, hard-working, and did not waste any time. Overall, they are movers, not white collar bankers, and they do a h*** of a job!! I would use them again, and refer them to a friend.

From the first phone call to the completion of the job, working with Jimmy and his crew was an very positive experience. Most of our communication was through email which Jimmy always answered in a timely manner. Jimmy and his crew arrived on time and ready to work. They moved out some of our furniture for bulk pick up. the rest of the furniture was moved to different rooms as we were moving our children into different bedrooms. Jimmy's' crew were professional and polite. They took extreme care not to damage walls , floors and furniture. Even the items that they placed outside for bulk pick were neatly stacked and sorted. They insisted that I check out everything before they left to make sure it was all completed to my liking. What can I say other than I have found my "forever mover."

The work was performed very well. They moved everything on time and without a single scratch. Our super repeatedly told es that we have great movers. I will definitely hire them again.

Contacted Jimmy for an estimate to move contents of house to an apt, approximately 15 mile distance. He advised me to fill out an online form listing contents and he would give me a price. Once he quoted me price i was skeptical, because of estimates I received from other movers and asked him if he could personally come to our home and personally inspect contents, he agreed and was there the next day, and honored his price. At the time of his visit we were awaiting a closing date for the sale of our home,when the lawyer called with the date it was scheduled the day before Labor Day weekend, we had to move the date to Sept 6th and contact Jimmy, obviously it being a holiday weekend and the fact that we couldn't give him enough lead time, we started to panic. . When Jimmy returned our call he was solidly booked to Sept 12th, he calmed us down, REWORKED HIS SCHEDULE TO MOVE US ON THE SUNDAY OF LABOR DAY WEEKEND AT THE AGREED PRICE OF 1500.00. He called the night before to confirm an arrival time in the morning , showed up on time with his crew of 5. The crew all acted in a professionl and courteous manner, taking care to wrap all furniture and glass beyond what we expected. Jimmy went above and beyond professionalism and customer satisfaction.

It went pretty well. The work was done well. The workers worked hard and were very trustworthy and timely. I also found the price fairly reasonable.

James Consaga is a rude & offensive individual. I filled out the online form for a quote and he emailed me back a figure of $2500, I replied and said that I had a quote for less than half that amount, he replied 'Its a no brainier then. Why bother getting others quote then' I told him that this attitude was not going to win any friends, he then replied and called me Stuey (My name is Stuart) I do not take kindly to being called Stuey by my friends but when a total stranger who is meant to be a professional calls me that, he is crossing a line. I would NEVER use this company if the attitude of Consaga is anything like the service they offer. DISGUSTED.

I needed to move a one-room office space from White Plains to Manhattan. I'm used to paying higher prices for moving in NYC and James' quote was on the upper end of what I'd consider "normal". But I trusted the solid reviews on Angie's List, and having been burned by moving companies before - extra charges, kinda suspicious characters - I was willing to pay a premium not to deal with any of that. Bottom Line: On time. Courteous & professional. No attitude or complaining during the move. The guys were extremely polite, and made the experience almost painless on my end. And absolutely no shadiness! What a relief.

Jimmy and his men provided me with an exceptional moving experience. Jimmy was always accessible by email or phone.On moving day, the movers were prompt, extremely courteous, and careful with my belongings. They took the time necessary to dismantle oversized pieces and then re-assemble them as needed. They were more concerned about my wooden floors than I was.Thank you Jimmy and company.

Overall - from start to finish - a great experience. Jimmy was highly communicative, professional and earned my trust.

Great. Jimmy was easy to work with by phone and email in terms of prepping estimate. He showed up with a good team right on time, and they took care of business in moving the house and setting everything up ini new place. They even moved a basketball hoop for me that I had neglected to mention in estimate. It was a pretty sizeable item so presented some logistical challanges. Job well done - THANKS

I contacted three different moving companies and Jimmy was immediately the most professional. He asked me to itemize what was to be moved and based on my response he gave me a verbal estimate, which I accepted and a date was set. They arrived on time and moved with lightning speed without a scratch, knick or dent on anything. They even helped us carry out stuff to our truck that wasn't part of the movve. Also, despite the fact that we added some items, the price remained the same. On the two-hour drive, I was following a little behind and got delayed. Since there was no one at the n ew place too let them in they wound up waiting quite awhile for me. I though for sure there would be an extra charge or, at a minimum, that Jimmy would be upset about it, but he wasn't. He is quite a personabe guy and easy to get along with.The othere major thing I love about this company is the honesty. One of the workers found my mom's diamond wedding and engagement ring stashed under a dresser and immediately brought it downstairs to me. There is no way I would have known it was there. I was very impressed. If you need a mover, THIS IS YOUR GUY. Trust Me.

We went with this company, since it was the only one whose quote was within our price range and could perform the entire move within the time frame we needed, which we were surprised about. We looked into 20+ NYC area companies on-line and received estimates from 4. The other companies we received estimates from had said it would take upwards of a week for us to receive delivery of our things from the time of load-in, without a guaranteed delivery date, which we were not comfortable with. We loaded in with A Man with a Van on Sunday, July 29th, and received our delivery on the afternoon of Wednesday, August 1st, which was just as promised. The guys who did the work were really great and impressively fast! Both the load-in and load-out crews were exceptional, extremely kind, professional, and generous with their time and effort. Though Jim wasn't on the job himself, whenever I had questions and contacted him, he was extremely fast and responsive every time. We even had to follow up with him about moving cost reimbursement paperwork needed for my husband's new job, and he got us what we needed within a couple hours of our request, no questions asked. Dealing with a move is never easy, but we felt good about supporting a local business, and we were happy with the level of personal attention we received.

In the beginning, it appeared there would be some extraordinary issues with this move. In the end, this was not the case. Nevertheless, Jimmy was very responsive and proactive throughout the potential ordeal, following up to make sure I was on top of the situation.The movers were great. They took extremely good care of everything they moved, not marking any of the walls, even once, through the stairways. They are true professionals. The floors in the apartment are delicate hardwood and not even one scratch.I would definitely recommend Jimmy's group to anyone going through a move and would definitely call on them again, should I need movers.

Jimmy and his team are top shelf service providers. This is the second time they've moved us within a year. They took incredible care with all our items and each of our homes. Their hands took the bumps as apposed to our furniture or walls. I’ve referred “A Man with a Van and More” to seven equally satisfied friends. It’s not common to get this kind of service these days.

The most recent move was helping our daughter move to Chicago. The move entailed picking up furniture that we had stored at a storage place and then going to our daughter's apartment to get all of her things there. Many of the items had to be handled with care because our daughter has a music studio in her apartment with lots of sensitive equipment. The movers arrived at the storage place five minutes early . The guys were upbeat, well mannered, careful and hard working. From the storage place, they went to our daughter's apartment to finish the job. We flew out to Chicago, where our daughter had rented an apartment starting on August 1st. My family arrived at the apartment at 7:45 in the morning and the movers were there ten minutes later. Once again, still in great spirits and totally professional. Not only would I highly recommend "A MAN WITH A VAN AND MORE" to anyone needing movers, but it is the only company I will ever use.

Really, really well. On time and well prepared. These are skillful movers who clearly know all the details to watch on valuable painting, etc. Friendly, ..what more can I say? At 74, best move I've had in my life.

I called the office on July 3rd, and a lady picked up the phone; I left a message with her. A few hours later Jimmy called me back and left me a message to fill out the estimate form online. I did that on July 4th expecting that Jimmy would get back on the 5th since 4th was a holiday. However, exceeding my expectations, Jimmy sent me the estimate in a few hours. After that, whenever I had a question, I emailed Jimmy, and he replied back in a few hours (every time). He sent 5 guys on the day of the move; they were punctual, incredibly hard and clean working guys. They wrapped all the furniture carefully, and were very careful while carrying the furniture. They were also fun to watch. Incredible guys!They did not ask more than the estimate. What Jimmy quoted was what I paid. However, make sure that you provide Jimmy with the right information as to what will be moved as that list is crucial on the day of the move. I will definitely use Jimmy's service next time.

Jimmy was responsive and his receptionist seemed nice when she answered the phone.

What a great experience with a moving company. From the first email through the truck leaving the new house - service. With a new truck, and a good size crew, and great care, these guys hustled through the day. It was great watching them hoist bed frames and mattresses to the second floor on the outside of the house. Every thing arrived in perfect condition. These guys really are the best.

Jimmy is very passionate about his business and accommodating his customer is his paramount objective. It was necessary to change our move date several times and Jimmy went out of his way to accommodate the changes. The move went smoothly thanks to Jimmy and his crew.

All, and I mean all, my boxes were moved safely. The two bureaus were wrapped in shrink wrap so I did not have to unpack a single drawer....and since they were white and very old, it is totally amazing they arrived scratch, chip and mark free, as if transported by an angel. An antique chair, not in the best of shape, was moved similarly...just well wrapped in a blanket. The other movers said this would require a special box, etc., -- all of which Jimmy said was not really necessary and just an expensive way to fatten up the bill. I did most of my own packing as I wanted to label the boxes (which I bought at Home Depot.) But he provided wardrobe boxes. I WAS VERY NERVOUS ABOUT POSSIBLY PICKING UP BEDBUGS DURING THE MOVE BUT WHEN THEY SHOWED ME THE WARDROBE BOXES I COULD SMELL VERY STRONG INSECTICIDE on them. I had sprayed everything with an anti-bedbug spray -- non-toxic but with a foul odor -- and all that was totally unnecessary! Obviously his van was well fumigated as well. Jimmy's two Mexican moving men were intelligent, gentle and delightful. The whole experience -- I had to take a cab to beat them up to Riverdale -- was totally like a dream and totally totally worry free.....Use this guy/! They even helped me wrap up my airconditioner in a canvas tarp for the move! The total bill was $800 just as Jimmy said from the start.
