A Man With a Van & More!, Inc.

I called the company and an answering service responded. The owner called back not 10 minutes after I left a message. After describing the job, the owner felt that he could get it done the same day. He showed up with a helper, provided a reasonable quote and completed the job the same day. This was a great experience as I thought it would take a week to get it done. I had gotten one other qutoe from a larger debris removal service, but "A Man With a Van & More" beat that by a few hunder dollars!

Came on time, moved everything as discussed and was extremely courteous.

Overall the hauling was done very well. Each room of the house, the basement and garage cleared, packed and taken out to the trucks. Great care was taken to check with me before hauling items away. The house, garage, basement and backyard were left clean. Everything was left broom swept. In some rooms wall shelves had to be dismantled .Old carpets had to be cut and removed. An old wooden worktable in the basement had to be taken apart and hauled away. I am very satisfied with the excellent completion of this work. I could have been stressful and difficult but because of the manner that the crew worked it was a relief.

I have used a number of movers over time and have never met anyone one as prompt and professional as Jimmy from a Man with a Van and More. I filled out his online form late at night and got a quote immediately. I then called him the next day to clarify that my move required two stops as I needed to move things from my apartment in Piermont, NY and clear out a storage bin in Pomona and take everything to Cold Spring. His price was very reasonable and even though I had a bit more than anticipated he stuck to his price. He arrived exactly at the time he said with his two helpers and appropriate moving materials. They worked efficiently and were careful to,point out things that were broken or marked or were not packed appropriately so there would be no issues. The helpers were very careful with my things and Jimmy supervised placement in the truck. He had an excellent relationship with his helpers. I have had a number of horror stories from moves in the past where I habe waited for hours for movers to show up. I also had a past mover damage an antique piece of furniture due to mishandeling. I will use him again on another move I will need to do soon from a house I am selling. The whole move with Jimmy and his team was a pleasure from start to finish. He deserves high marks.

Very smoothly. Jimmy phoned me to let me know when he had picked up the unit from the seller 's home in Red Hook, NY. This 4 piece unit was very heavy and bulky. The following morning he was at my door, as promised. Jimmy and his assistant moved the pieces into my house with great care. They set the furniture up exactly where I wanted it to go.. My furniture looks terrific. I am very pleased with his prompt, curteous and efecient services. I will definitely be calling him again!

The experience was painless. The movers arrived on time. They were very careful and professional in the apartment and the hallways. They made sure to show me existing damages were quick, professional and polite.

Jimmy and his team were great to work with from beginning to end. First, it was so easy to be able to list all of our items on their website. Received a quote right away and scheduling was a breeze. They showed up on time at 8am, and were pleasant and professional throughout the whole process. My husband and I have moved 3 times in the past 5 years and this by far was the smoothest one. They treated all of our items with respect and I have yet to find even one ding (even with an old house and 2 pretty narrow staircases)! I would recommend them to anyone who is moving, and am so glad that I found them on Angie's List.

Overall, can't say enough positive. They were a great team and helped us at a stressful time. It was a great experience. We already plan to use them again for smaller jobs and will highly recommend them to family and friends.

James was very involved with the planning of the move. We spoke on the phone and emailed to plan the logistics.He was always courteous and precise. The move was relaxed and profesional. I was watching his workers and they were fast and profesional. I was very impressed by how smooth the process evolved and concluded. I was impresses by James' attention to detail and communication with me I totally recommend them. A great experience.

Jimmy promised to be at my apartment between 8 and 8:30am and he was there at 8:00am. He had two guys working with him and they did a great job moving everything out though I had a small elevator and was a few floors up. They broke down my furniture and reassembled them at the new house. His price was very competitive relative to my other quotes and the service was professional and then some.

Moving is not fun as we know from moving many times and the process takes over your life for days. But no movers have ever treated our furniture with as much care. Because we were sold on the company by Jim, the owner, we did not get another estimate, something I now regret. because I cannot honestly say if this was a good price or not. And Jim has a short fuse and his amiable back-slapping persona becomes a snarl when he is questioned. We were promised a certain manager would meet our trucks in Geogria for the unload but he was not sent. And thus the directions agreed to about how things would be unloaded into storage were not followed. Asked about that Jim had his biggest fit of several. He cares deeply about his Angie's list reviews and even even tried to make it a condition of doing further work for us that we give him a a good list review.

I did not have a good experience with this vendor and ultimately had to find a new mover the night before my move. I would not recommend this mover to anyone.

Super responsive, showed up precisely on time, very careful with items, willing to address concerns about fragiles, friendly workers, very fair in pricing, trustworthy, packed storage in very secure and organized manner/maximizing use of space, will certainly use again.

I found Jimmy on Angie's List and he had impeccable ratings, plus he was a local business for the future reference!! if our children needed a mover. His website was excellent and it was easy to input all info for an online estimate. We got a fast response and a great price. We booked the move and they scheduled us right in even with only 2 days notice. Jim, the owner kept I touch via email and phone. He and his workers showed up at our kid's home exactly on time, picked up our furniture and were unloading at our home in less than 2 hours. They set up the bed,unpacked the dresser(removing all the packing), and even helped move the old bed frame and a heavy TV down to the basement which was a huge help for me. The level of their skill, professionlism and courtesy was absolutely incredible and the whole move was finished quickly and perfectly. You could not hope for a better experience. I will absolutely use the again in the future, this time for a complicated double grand piano move that I know will be expert level. I would unhesitatingly recommend A Man with a) Van to my friends and relatives and give them my highest recommendation

Jimmy and his team were great!! He came to my house before the move and gave me a firm estimate--no surprises. His team ended up having some free time the day before and moved a good part of my stuff, so the move the next day was short and super-efficient. Not a scratch on anything, the movers were very polite, and they even managed to move out a huge sofa that my last movers had struggled with for an hour (and torn). Fantastic to work with!

Everything was great . They loaded our furniture on Friday and delivered it the next day so that I would not miss my dialysis treatment. Saturday they arrived just when they said they would. To sum it up we couldn't have had a better moving company. Thanks Jimmy!

I called the day before the move and the man with whom I spoke was very helpful about getting the job done at a time when I could do it. He said two men would arrive between 8:00-8:30 a.m. and indeed they did. They had plastic wrap and large cloths to wrap the couch, and they did the job extremely well from start to finish. I thought the price was a bit on the high side for moving just one couch, but on I can't in all fairness complain because they really did do a very nice job across the board.

After deciding not to hire Mr. Consaga for my move he became rude and unprofessional. While his high ratings on Angie's List would have led me to recommend him to others for consideration in the future his final emails to me completely eliminated that possibility. Mr. Consaga offered an price for a move that involved storage and 2 pick up points that was slightly higher than others who gave me estimates. The original estimate he gave was $1800 to move our items into a storage facility in Westchester, NY ($1500 for the first pick up from Bronx, NY & an additional $300 for additional pick up in Queens, NY), and $1200 for moving our things from storage to our new home in New Rochelle, NY. After I explained that the his price and the cost of the storage facility he'd suggested were somewhat high, he offered to discount the second move to $1000. He also arranged for his contact at the storage facility to give us a discounted price (2 months for the price of one). While I did reserve a storage unit, I made it clear to Mr. Consaga and to the customer representative at the storage facility that I was only doing so to hold the spot, and that I was still getting estimates. Throughout the entire process of negotiating price, Mr. Consaga was responsive and was working to give me the best deal he could. Although I explained to Mr. Consaga in two separate emails that I was still in the process of making a decision, his reaction to the news that I had decided to go with another company was shockingly unprofessional! Mr. Consaga's response to me was "That's not very professional as I'm the one who lowered the price and got westys to give a deal." When I replied reminding him that I had made it clear that we had not made a decision to go with him and that we were still getting estimates, he responded "ive heard it all, dosnt surprise me" The email exchanges are copied below and speak for themselves. I should note that my interactions with other moving professionals have been nothing but cordial, and they were gracious when I informed them that I was going with another company. To: [email protected] Dear Jimmy, Thanks very much for the quote and the information, but we've decided to go with another company. All the best, Rosa [email protected] <[email protected]> to ME That's not very professional as I'm the one who lowered the price and got westys to give a deal Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry To: [email protected] Hi, I believe I made it very clear on my end that I was in the process of obtaining estimates for the move (see my Jan 6 and email below), and I only reserved with Westy's because they suggested I do so to hold the space. As a courtesy, I emailed you to let you know that we had made our final decision. Given these circumstances, I believe that your response, not mine, is quite unprofessional and rude. Rosa JAN 6 EMAIL: Hi Jimmy, Thanks following up with me. I booked a room because the gentleman I spoke with suggested it might get reserved by someone else if I waited. At that point, I had not seen your email with Tim Mincin's name/contact information. Since I made the reservation, another woman called me and told me about a promotion they're running in the White Plains location (The area you recommended did not have the size room we need). I'm waiting to hear back I should clarify that I am still getting estimates from various companies. I am concerned that your estimate is more than I budgeted (Westy's is also pretty high at $268/month and they don't pro-rate--I'll see what happens when the rep calls me back). Of course, I completely understand that my circumstance involves two moves (not including the Queens trip), and you are a professional with a crew to pay and a truck to maintain, etc. You came very highly recommended through Angie's List, but as educators with three small children, we're on tight budget. We're trying to figure out how to get the best service while staying within our means. I will absolutely keep in mind that I need to make a decision relatively soon and advise you either way. Thanks so much, Rosa JAN 7 EMAIL Hi Jimmy, Thanks for trying to work with me. I'll check with Westys to see about changing the location. In the end, they gave me a decent deal with either 2 months at $268 or 1 at half the price. That seems fair. I know that we'll need to make our decision ASAP. I'll let you know by mid-week, if possible. Unfortunately, we're still waiting for the closing date on our co-op, so I don't even have a date yet. It's very frustrating. Anyway, thanks again for trying to work with me [email protected] To: ME ive heard it all, dosnt surprise me

Just communicated via phone and email -- but was impressed by the owner and grateful for a recommendation he provided.

I was very impressed from the beginning when Jim came to give me an estimate on the moving costs. He arrived the same day I called the office, a few hours later I had the estimate. He agreed to arrive a day earlier to start packing the boxes, which made me feel more comfortable.Everything went smooth, I never had such a good experience with a moving company! I highly recommend James and his crew without a doubt.

I was extremely impressed with Jimmy and his crew. From the get go, Jimmy provided me with a flat rate quote. I had had a very bad experience with a company in my last move, "Kaster Movers", where they had given me an estimate and then slammed me on moving day with a bill that was 35% over and above the quote so I was gun shy about movers and knowing that I was being given a flat rate was essential and very reassuring. Not only did the guys arrive on time and ready to work, but Jimmy sent a truck a day early, loaded it up and left it in my driveway in to make sure that the move the next day went smoothly and did not run too long! What a genius idea! On moving day, they were quick, professional and I was done and in my new house by afternoon! Throughout everything, all of the guys were pleasant to deal with (again, this was not what I had experienced in the past) and the entire move was accomplished with no stress! I highly recommend Jimmy and I will definitely use him again in the future.

Jimmy is the main guy. They were really good movers. They did everything quickly and fast. They were pretty good and didn't need any improvement.

They arrived on time. They checked our furniture for bangs and scratches and discussed them with us so that there would be no confusion as to whether or not they had damaged the items. They then carefully moved all the furniture. At our house they followed all our instructions as to the placement of the furniture. We were very pleased with the results and with the politeness and efficiency of these movers.

From the start, the owner of the company took a personal interest in the items we were planning to move. After a number of consultations, the truck arrived for the move. Each and every item we needed to be moved was treated as unique. They took the time to examine each item, wrap it, and handle it professionally, Once the truck arrived at the new destination, the same care was given to the furniture, art, and antiques. We have moved before, but have never experienced this level of professionalism.

I could not have asked for a more positive experience. My move date had to be changed because of the October Nor'easter and Jim did everything possible to accommodate my needs. He & his crew showed up at the time I was told they would. The move took 5 hours from start to finish. My last move took about 13 hours. From start to finish, they did a great, professional job with a wonderful attitude. The guys who did the actual move were wonderful! I hope that I will never have to move again, but if and when I do, I will be sure to use them again.
