Moving of America Review: Is This NJ Moving Company Worth It?

If you have ever moved in North Jersey, you know the drill: a dozen quotes, a handful of no-shows, and at least one company that quietly triples the bill on moving day. So when a local moving company keeps its name clean across nearly two decades, it is worth a closer look. This is my honest assessment of Moving of America, a Ridgefield-based mover I keep seeing recommended in local Facebook groups and neighborhood threads.

Here is what stands out, what to weigh before you book, and who I think it is actually right for.

Who They Are?

Moving of America is a family-owned New Jersey Movers that has been operating since 2007, run out of a 25,000-square-foot facility in Ridgefield, Bergen County. That longevity matters in this industry, the moving business has a high churn of fly-by-night operators, and a company that has held the same name, address, and reputation since 2007 has cleared a bar a lot of competitors never reach.

They serve a wide footprint: 13 New Jersey counties, Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union, and Warren, plus moves into New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania.

What They Actually Do?

This is not a two-guys-and-a-truck outfit. Their service range is unusually broad, which is part of the appeal:

• Everyday moves — local, long-distance, residential, apartment, and full-service moves.
• Business moves — office, commercial, and even hotel and hospital-equipment relocations.
• Specialty items — this is where they clearly differentiate. Pianos, fine art and antiques, wine cellars, chandeliers, and gym equipment all get dedicated, custom-crated handling.
• Life-stage moves — senior and estate transitions, plus military relocations, handled with more flexibility than a standard mover.
• Storage & extras — climate-controlled short- and long-term storage, storage-in-transit, packing and unpacking, and white-glove service.

For most families, the takeaway is simple: whatever the odd item is that is stressing you out, the baby grand, grandma's china cabinet, this is a company built to handle it.

Credentials and Trust Signals

Credentials are where I try to separate marketing from reality, and Moving of America holds up well:

• Fully licensed and insured — US DOT 1601312, MC 592337, NY DOT 38444, and NJ license 39PC00096600, all publicly verifiable.
• BBB A+ accreditation.
• Strong review consensus — roughly 4.8 out of 5 across about 138 Google reviews, with solid ratings echoed on Angi, Houzz, Facebook, and other platforms.
• Industry recognition — Best of Houzz Service, Angi Super Service, and a 2026 USA Today Best-in-State nod.
• Enterprise clients — the company lists brands like IKEA, Pfizer, and Columbia University among its commercial customers, which tells you it can pass corporate vetting.

They also run a Move for Hunger partnership, collecting non-perishables on moves for families in need, a small thing, but a good sign of a company that is engaged locally rather than just extracting from the market.

What Stands Out?

Reading through customer feedback, a few themes repeat in a way that feels credible:

• Communication. Reviewers consistently mention office check-ins during the move and clear explanations up front, the opposite of the usual moving-day silence.
• Care with belongings. Wrapping furniture before loading, labeling, and careful placement come up again and again.
• Punctuality and pace. "On time" and "efficient" are the two most common phrases.
• Transparent, all-inclusive pricing. Fuel, tolls, mileage, and basic disassembly are quoted in rather than sprung on you later, a genuine differentiator in an industry notorious for surprise fees.

Things to Consider

No company is perfect, and a fair review says so:

• Interstate moves get mixed feedback. The local, in-house NJ crews are clearly the strength. For longer interstate relocations, a few customers have reported a less consistent experience, worth asking directly how your specific long-distance move will be staffed and handled before you sign.
• Peak-season demand. A well-reviewed mover books up. If you are moving on a summer weekend or at month-end, reserve early.
• Get the written scope. Their all-inclusive model is a plus, but as with any mover, confirm exactly what your package includes (packing tiers, specialty crating) so expectations match the quote.

Pricing and Booking

Moving of America advertises moves starting from $298 and offers financing plus periodic storage promotions. Like any reputable mover, the real number depends on home size, distance, access, and services — so get a written, itemized quote. You can request one through their website or by phone at 201-862-8000 (NJ) or 646-844-8000 (NY).

The Verdict (Rating: 4.6 / 5)

For local and regional moves in northern and central New Jersey, Moving of America is an easy company to recommend: long-tenured, properly licensed, transparently priced, and genuinely strong with specialty and high-value items. 

The main caveat is around long-haul interstate moves, where I would ask more questions before booking. For everyone else, the apartment dweller in Hoboken, the family upsizing in Bergen County, the collector who needs a piano moved without a scratch, this is one of the more trustworthy names in the NJ market.
