Mark and his crew are absolutely amazing. They moved us in the middle of a hurricane, and all of the guys kept moving all day. Not one of them complained or stopped working. Every single one of them were professional, polite, and friendly. They made the move stress free and easy. Definitely recommend!

We had a fantastic experience with Paramus Moving. They were on time, friendly and caring. It's a stressful enough experience to move but the crew made the day so much better. We were very impressed with the careful handling of all items. After we arrived at the new destination the manager of the apartment building came to us and said in her 14 years of managing a building she had never seen such professional, nice, courteous movers as she had that day. She then proceeded to ask for their info as she will happily let anyone know about them when asked for a referral for a moving company. Thank you Paramus Moving!

This is the second time I have used Paramus Moving Co. They are a delight to work with. I had packers to help me when I injured my arm, and they did more in two hours than I could have done in two days. They moved my piano as well, and took great care of it. The crew is friendly and worked very quickly. I would highly recommend them.

Paramus Moving came on Dec 2, 2014 and provided me with an estimate for 4 men at 170.00 per hour for 8 hours. We were told there would be a 90.00 fuel charge and 30.00 in tolls as well. The estimate they gave me 1480.00 and that included all of the charges. I added insurance which was a charge of 168.00, plus shrink wrap which was 25.00 and a bin which was 15.00. The final bill that I expected to pay was 1688.00 for my move on 3/10/2015. However, the final bill that I received when services were completed was 2329.25. The day before the move I asked them to confirm the moving date and that I wanted to have 4 men as per the estimate. However, on the day of the move they showed up with 6 men which raised the rate to 240.00 per hour without my knowledge. They had 6 men for 3 hours and 5 men for the remainder of the time which was 6.25 hours at 205.00 per hour. After the move, their argument for sending more men than I requested is that it would make the move go more quickly and end up at the same total, but this is not what happened. I was charged for 9.25 hours but the orginal estimate was only for 8 hours. Included in that 9.25 was a 30 minute stop for bagels and refreshments (and I paid for everyone's meals), and time spent (30 minutes) repairing a desk that they broke. The bottom line is that I was charged for more men and more time than was previously disclosed. My girlfriend and I voiced our concerns to Paramus Moving regarding the undisclosed higher rate per hour and the longer time, and they blamed us because we wanted selt pads placed on the bottom of our furniture and needed some extra items moved in from the garage. My girlfried and I had the selt pads ready and the movers had to pause for a few seconds on the way into the house for us to apply them. We mentioned the new floors several times, both before moving day and the day of the move, so everyone knew what to expect. Unfortunately, Paramus Moving dropped a King size metal bed frame onto the bare wood floor in the master bedroom. As a result, there is a large scratch there. Also, they damaged a bookcase, scratched a dining room hutch, and pushed a door (the knob specifically) into a wall leaving an indent. Paramus Moving has been very difficult to communicate with since our move. They initially offered a 425.00 credit (which we did not feel was adequate), but said that we were not allowed to file an insurance if we accept this credit, even though I paid for insurance coverage. They requested me to sign a legal release form saying that I would not hold them responsible for anything. When we said that we were coming to pick up the 425.00 check, they changed their mind for issuing credit for additional moving fees, but said that we could fill out the insurance form and send it back to them for damage reimbursement. Paramus Moving will not let us file directly with the insurance company. The latest phone calls have included them yelling at us, calling us names, and dismissing the damage as insignificant. I could not be more disappointed in this entire ordeal. Today, I still seek reimbursement for the undisclosed additional moving fees and property damage.

Update 4/13/15:
?Paramus Moving's response suggests I was informed of the need for extra men on the job before the day of the move. That is not true. They showed up that day with extra men and did not inform about the extra costs until move completion. They also dismissed our claim about the manner in which they spoke to us. While Heather was on the phone with Gene, he referred to me as ?OCD?.  When Heather was on the phone with Colleen, she spoke in a raised, hostile voice (referring to me) saying ?nothing will make him happy, good luck with your relationship!? and promptly hung up.
Response from Paramus Moving Inc
"Customer was estimated for 4/men at $170 per hour, but a few days prior to the move he told me that he wanted felt pads put on all the furniture prior to being put in place, which i said we would do. He also informed me that we would be emptying the contents of the garage into the house. (we had previously moved the items to the garage for his girlfriend and we knew that would add significant amount of work for our men) When we told the customer that we wanted to send an extra guy as there was significantly more furniture to be moved than what was originally estimated, Customer said ok, but later said he didn't know he was going to be charged for the additional man and later again told us we didn't give him a choice. I told him, we were trying to accommodate him. Many things change after people get estimated and I try to accommodate the best I can, I never tell them no, but when they add more to the move it is more costly. He changed the whole structure of the move when adding a garage full of furniture (which was a whole apartment) and adding the felt pads, which is time consuming. He seemed to feel this was a miner amount of furniture. All of this adds more time, they are people, not machines and moving is very physical work. Customer called me 2 days later to complain about some damage and the price. I asked him to send me pictures, which he did. There was some minimal damage. (1 scratch on floor, 2 very small scratches on furniture) I asked Customer what was going to make him happy, he said he wanted the difference between the actual bill and estimate. I told him i would meet him in the middle, which i felt was more than adequate for the damage he showed me. but that was not acceptable to him. A few days later his girlfriend called and wanted to pick up a check from me. I told her that Customer did not accept my offer, and requested an insurance form, which I had already mailed him to complete and return to me. She then told me, she wanted to submit directly to the insurance company, I informed her that it doesn't work that way. ( that is an insurance procedure,not mine) So I realized they thought that I should pay them a check AND submit an insurance claim. Had we estimated him with the additional apartment and felt pads we would have estimated 5/men from the start. I had many conversations with Customer and felt I went above and beyond trying to make him happy, but I realized nothing i did could make him happy. There was no yelling at them, there was a discussion that since there were several time consuming phone calls that did not accomplish anything that I would just submit a claim to the insurance company and go from there."

They were Great!  Jeff and Mike showed up 10 mins early.  Worked non stop for the entire time.  They were nice, professional and I would absolutely use them again.  This area took an entire day for us to move on our own - It took them less than 2 HOURS!  We had inquired with a few other moving companies who turned there nose up at such a small job.  Considering how this went today we will use them for every move we have big or small in the future.  BTW - the interaction with the company when I called about the job was fantastic as well.  And as a last note- they showed up at 8am (actually 7:50am because they were 10 mins early!) on Sunday to fit our schedule and didn't charge extra.

They were prompt, experienced and were able to get difficult heavy furniture from a large home into a much smaller apartment with ease.  Thought I was going to have to leave the sofa behind since it was so large but they found a way and made it work!

The most excellent moving service I have ever had. Jeff and Dane were outstanding! Arrived exactly on time, were professional, courteous, friendly, and super accommodating. They took great care in protecting and moving some very fragile and heavy pieces - a glass china cabinet, a buffet with a heavy marble top, a glass dining room table with marble bases, as well as moving our refrigerator down one floor, and moving a recliner up one floor. SUPER nice guys and very patient, and capable, and knew what they were doing. The price came in exactly as estimated. Would definitely call them again for any future moves, and would highly recommend them!

There were 3 movers plus the owner.  All were professional, friendly and came right on time.  They worked steadily and carefully.  All were sensitive to my requests...........every box and piece of furniture was placed properly.  I would recommend them to anyone.

Our house was a 5 bedroom high ranch filled with 25 years of clutter.  We are empty nesters downsizing to a 2-bedroom cottage around the corner.  They moved us quickly and efficiently, making 2 trips back and forth.  They were also very accommodating in helping us toss some of the non-movable junk into our dumpster.  You couldn't ask for a better moving experience.  I would use them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to everyone.

The where 15 minutes early which was a good surprise. They where professional and very careful to move my items without damaging them or the walls. They where done quickly and faster that the estimate given. Not the cheapest but for the work they did definitely worth every penny. I plan to move again within the next year and I will without a doubt be using them again.

They were fantastic! It's the second time I've worked with them and it's like having friends/relatives move you who actually know what they're doing. They're like magicians. They seem to be able to bend space and furniture so you don't have to move everything around to bring in the new pieces. I've never seen anything like them. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a mover!

They were amazing. I got estimates from a couple of different companies and Paramous was reasonably priced. They came when they said they were coming. They moved everything from my storage unit to my condo with the greatest of ease. They put my bed together. They cleaned up. The moved everything quickly and efficiently. They worked from 8:30 in the morning and they were done by 11:30 a.m. Nothing was damaged, they took the greatest of care. I highly recommend them.

I called Paramus because of the 4 ratings already existing. I had to move within a week when I called. They were able to schedule one in 5 days. I am giving an A rating for everything except for punctuality because the truck arrived an hour after the scheduled time and no one answered the phone during that one hour when I called several times. Five guys came with a big truck. There were a lot of disassembling and reassembling. Everything was done properly and no damage was done anywhere.
