Rittenhouse Moving Co provided excellent service for our move. Three professional movers arrived on time and completed the move ahead of schedule. They were polite, respectful of our belongings, and made helpful suggestions as the move progressed. They were recommended by a neighbor and I will definitely be doing the same!

Came highly recommended in the Scotch Plains-Fanwood FB page, so I contacted them. Normally I contact at least three companies for anything I want done, but didn't bother in this case because, again, they were highly recommended.I thought my move would be on 3/9 but I was informed on 2/28 that I had to move out THAT DAY (misunderstanding with apartment management). Thankfully this company was able to squeeze me in the next day, on 3/1. Ernie, the owner, is quite responsive on email. He quoted their 3 hour minimum since I was moving only the big items from a 1br apt: queen bed, 2 desks, 2 TV cabinets, 2 TVs, 2 a/c in boxes, a couch and ottoman.Movers came on time. I wrapped all the drawers myself the night before using cling wrap just so the drawers (desk, TV cabinet, etc) would not slide out. I just did a couple passes because I figured they would wrap it some more when they came. Nope! All they wrapped in blankets were my 2 TVs, nothing else. My precious wooden furniture (oak desk, TV cabinet, etc) were all placed directly on the dolly on their sides. It was my first Jersey move. Do they do things differently in Jersey? I wondered. When I got to the truck though, they had a PILE of neatly folded blankets. So they DO wrap things, just not my things.One of the 4 guys kept saying things to the effect of "Three hour minimum, right? We got you!" throughout the move, as if to say "we're fast and efficient, you'll see." They did finish 15 mins under 3 hours, however...My stuff are all dinged up. To disassemble my brass bed, they used a hammer and scratched it up. The first guy used the wooden part of the hammer to disassemble. The second guy used the metal part of the hammer to assemble. I even had to ask him to use SOMETHING (anything!) to protect the bed instead of hitting the bed directly, metal to metal. There was also a point when they did not fully disassemble the bed and were trying to jam it through the stair entrance even if it was clearly hitting the top opening of my stairs (ceiling), so they nicked that, too.Strangely the check I wrote out was returned (confusion with bank). Upon realizing this, I contacted the owner right away to tell him I would check what happened with the bank and make good whatever I owed him for the move. I took that chance to give him feedback on his crew. When I followed up, he said they claim they wrapped everything in the truck. First, they didn't. I watched them load and unload everything. Second, if they did, why are all my stuff dinged? Owner said "Send me pictures of the damage and we will set you up a repair." How will he repair scratches on my brass bed and oak desk??? It's not worth the inconvenience. Stay away. You've been warned.One star is because Yelp would not allow zero stars and Ernie, the owner, deserves at least one star for being responsive and understanding about my returned check.

If I could leave more than 5 stars I would. I had to use them twice, once to move into storage and again to move out and into our new home and I received the best service possible both times. All of my stuff was handled with care, with not a single thing damaged or broken. The entire crew of movers sent were professional, courteous, and most importantly extremely hard working.

Moved yesterday from an apartment into a house and it was a breeze. There were 5 guys and all were accommodating, professional, funny and overall personable. This was my first move by myself, and I was a nervous wreck but the crew was like "we got you" and they did! Not a single thing went wrong. I had an item that I asked to be extra careful with and they went above and beyond. So so grateful to them. Although didn't get a chance to meet Earnie in person, he was very patient and kind explaining everything every step of the way. The quote actually came out less, so yay! These guys work hard and as a woman there's no way I can lift a quarter of want these guys haul. I appreciate the hard work, so really don't mind tipping well. Plus it's the holidays.

Amazing from the first phone call to booking. Booked them 24 hours Nina stance after realizing we were nuts trying to move without movers. The moving team arrived on time, and wore masks inside the house at all times. They were extremely careful with all belongings, super kind and very funny. Will recommended to friends and family for life! Thank you!

We recently used Rittenhouse for a local move, and they were amazing. My phone calls were returned within an hour (several other movers I called for estimates never returned my calls at all!), and Ernie came for an estimate exactly when he said he would. On the day of the move, the movers were efficient and professional. They finished the job in half the number of hours that were estimated, resulting in a charge that was half as much as was expected. Overall, the moving experience went very smoothly and I would highly recommend Rittenhouse Moving.

I have used Rittenhouse many times before and the reason I always call them is cause they have a fantastic crew and are reasonably priced! And Ernie is great to work with! We had another move today and the Crew rocked. Excellent job!
