Nice Jewish Boy Moving & Storage

I was referred to this company by a friend who used them. I love this company! They were professional, on time, and wonderful movers. The three gentleman that did the job were top of the line. They took apart my desk, dresser, and bed, and put them all back together in my new place. Everything arrived safely and quickly. I would recommend them to anyone! They offer both packing and moving. Truly wonderful!

These guys moved us from Canoga Park to Woodland Hills in 2011, but only now have I completely unpacked all the remaining boxes that were stored in the garage in the new house from the time of the move. They stole a box containing my irreplaceable yearbooks and other personal property that was stored in the original bedroom, probably the reason they thought it had commercial value. It didn’t. But I’ll never get those things back. Police report will be filed.

My roommate and I just used this company to move. We got in touch with them the day before we moved (as the company we were originally going to use cancelled on us last minute) and they were beyond helpful and willing to be as accommodating as possible. On the day of the move, the crew called while they were on their way and were very prompt with the timing they had given me on the phone. The crew that came was great. Very friendly, and outgoing and made us feel at ease as they very quickly packed up our stuff and moved it to our new place.
I would without a doubt use this company again in the future for my future moving needs.
Michael (I believe was his name) in the office was so helpful and was quick to be able to provide pricing info and other info as requested. Thank you again to your entire staff!

The move itself was fantastic. The movers that we hired really know how to haul ass. They had everything moved in record time and saved us the hassle.
We had some issues after the move. Michael at Nice Jewish Boys worked with us relentlessly to solve the issues. Despite it not being any fault of the company, they still worked with us until the issue was resolved.
fantastic job all round!

You know how some movers come in like a general, assessing the situation, making a battle plan, and carrying it out efficiently? These were not those movers.
I used this company to move back in April, due to its positive reviews online and a discount through my company. I never did get that discount — at first I was told it didn’t apply on weekends, despite that not being in the listing on our company site, then when my move changed to a weekday, I was quoted the same price and told the discount was included.
To start with, they were more expensive than other quotes, then the price was even higher because they charged me a full hour for their transport to and from my apartment building (I was just changing units within the building). I thought maybe this was a Los Angeles thing, but asking around has made me believe it is unusual.
For that price, I expected great movers. The movers I got were firmly mediocre. After an hour and a half, they hadn’t moved any of my large furniture, instead focusing on small objects. I had to do a lot of directing of their efforts, telling them to get the big stuff then do the small stuff at the end (which I could finish on my own) if I wanted them to stay longer to help. They didn’t seem very competent in packing either — I had to stop one of the movers from piling my books into a wardrobe box (the only box they brought), paperbacks first. Also when they moved chests of drawers, they didn’t take out the drawers or secure them in any way. Instead they were just put on a handtruck, drawers sliding in and out, and items falling. I had to tell them to cover it with a blanket to keep the drawers in place.
In the end, did they damage or steal anything? No. Would I use them again? Also no. I think you can do better for your money.

Easiest move I’ve ever had but I have mixed feelings about my experience with this company. I actually originally called and hired A Father and Son moving, but the morning that they were due, I received a call from the office stating that Nice Jewish Boy truck would be arriving and that they were owned by the same company. I don’t really care but I’d like to know why if it’s the same owner then why are there two different companies. Anyway…
Getting a price quote and other information was very easy and so was booking the move. I can’t recall the name of the guy I spoke with but he was very nice, friendly, and professional. Their prices, which were the second best I found, and reviews on Unilocal (for Father and Son Moving) is what prompted me to book them.
I was given an hour window in which they’d be there (8:30−9:30) and told I’d be their first move of the day. I received a call about 9am and told that they would be there soon and to expect A Nice Jewish Boy truck. They arrived at 9:25am. They did a quick walk-​through, asked questions, and made a plan of action. Norman and Jose were my guys. I pointed out what was important (52′ tv) and what was not (everything else). They got to work right away.
Now, I have a lot of crap. And these guys loaded up the truck in about 2.5 hours from my old place which was about 850 square feet, plus a garage. I didn’t think it would take that long, but then again, I wasn’t hauling it, either.
It took almost 3 – 4 hours to unload the truck. If they didn’t have to keep moving the truck (the only place they could park was blocking the driveway to the complex) so people could get out (not their fault) and wind their way through what I now understand to be a maze to get through to my apartment, I imagine it would have taken less time. I can’t complain about how long it took because it was my estimation error. They worked their asses off. I just didn’t think it would take 7+ hours to do the job. Guess I’m not used to having people care about my stuff.
I do not think they did anything but work their asses off. They were professional and personable and hard workers. They brought their own beverages and repeatedly refused when I offered them drinks or snacks — until they drank everything they had (I had a lot of crap to move and it was hot), so I ran out and got them gatorade and snacks. I’m sure they appreciated it, but I believe it’s part of my job to keep them hydrated and full while they bust their ass for me.
Norman was the guy in charge. Throughout the loading and unloading, he’d ask me how I thought things were going. They always asked where I wanted stuff put in the new place and were very careful (no wall dings or anything!) and wrapped everything really well – with more care than I would have taken. I really liked these guys, the job they did, their work ethic, and their professionalism.
A couple of things did break: an old and cheap floor lamp (although my favorite) and the frame for my cheval mirror. Granted, neither were particularly expensive (read: very cheap) but it sucks nonetheless. Norman made a point of telling me about each of these as soon as he discovered them. I pointed out to Norman that these were not nice items to begin with, but he was very apologetic anyway, stating that he takes pride in his job and was sorry.
Ideally, nothing breaks and I’m not pissed about this, but I wanted to mention it. I’d use these guys again – and I’d request Norman and Jose. After they were finished, I spoke with Norman about how I could have saved time, since it took so much longer than I expected. He explained what other things I could have done differently, and what to expect for the next time I moved. I appreciated the tips he gave.
Because it took longer than I expected (again, my error, not theirs), I went $ 200 over budget – and this was before tips. I paid almost $ 700 to move from Long Beach to West LA, from a 850 square foot duplex with a garage to a 900 square foot apartment with lots of turns and stairs.
I’d give 5 stars if things hadn’t broken, but I loved these guys and would use them again in a heartbeat. Easiest move I’ve ever had.
