Our Take on Cool Hand Movers

A small, owner run Brooklyn crew with a strong packing reputation and clean records. It is a local mover, so look elsewhere for cross country jobs.

  • Arafat Mansur5.0

    Cool Hand provided an exception moving experience. They were quick to respond and very flexible with scheduling the date/time and it worked out perfectly. The quoted price was extremely reasonable (I was moving out of a second floor walkup and had to empty a storage locker as well) and there were no dreaded hidden fees.<br><br>The moving crew showed up exactly on time, were incredibly professional, prepared, hard working, and very easy to work with. When we ran into an issue at the drop-off with the super being unavailable to provide access, the crew was accommodating and patient, helping to problem solve until I got into my unit.

About Cool Hand Movers

Cool Hand Movers is a husband and wife company. Matt Graber ran it informally as a man with a van in Park Slope before licensing and incorporating it in 2016, and Ashley Graber joined two years later. Today the office is a storefront at 553 Prospect Avenue in Brooklyn.

The company serves the five boroughs, Long Island, New Jersey, Westchester and the Hudson Valley. Services include local moves, same building moves, full packing, office moves, loading and unloading, real estate staging, furniture delivery and removal, storage and rentable reusable bins. It also supports Covenant House New York's Make it a Home program and runs a Reuse for Refugees effort. The site does not describe long distance moves.

Crews are in house employees rather than contractors, and New York Magazine picked the company as the best movers in New York for a hand with packing. Quotes come from a custom estimate form.

The NYSDOT carrier database lists Cool Hand Movers LLC as active with NYSDOT number 39708 at the Prospect Avenue storefront. FMCSA lists USDOT 2874171 with household goods carrier authority and MC 1641500. Google lists hours of 9 am to 6 pm every day.
