I’m embarrassed it’s taken me so long to post this review! My husband and I have used JP Urban for two moves now, the first in November 2019 and second in late August 2023. Having lived my entire life in NYC and begun the torturous shlep from apt to apt every 2 years or so beginning in 1998 (college) until now- I can only scream the praises for JP Urban as the most professional, friendliest, affordable and least stressful of all moving companies in NYC combined. Our August 2023 move from a rental in Park Slope to our permanent co-op apt in Prospect Park South was an excruciating day- we had been packing for weeks yet still weren’t “ready” when the JP Urban team arrived early in the morning. The men on our job were so kind and efficient about properly packing our ridiculous giant mirrored dresser, countless pieces of framed art, oversized furniture and just crap everywhere- 12 hours later we were in our new home. It’s taken us months to fully unpack but I noticed our largest antique mirror was cracked. When I contacted JP Urban the owner was so lovely I’m still kind of stunned that businesses behave this ethically anymore. They actually had the mirror picked up, taken to a glazier to replace the beveled mirror and re-affix the mid century wooden details. Every time we are in our living room we are reminded of how kind the people at JP Urban were to repair the centerpiece of the room. That said- make sure you get insurance when booking your move- accidents happen. Based on how much delicate stuff JP Urban has moved for us TWICE- and everything going perfectly- the mirror being cracked was more a freak thing I’d rather not think about too much. What’s important is that they replaced it in better condition than before! Anyway- everybody please just book JP Urban for your moving jobs. I’m so grateful for this company to exist in a city that seems to get nastier and more alienating every day-JP Urban is run by honest, lovely people.
"BEST MOVING COMPANY IN NYC EVER!!!!"
