They moved me from fort lee nj to Franklin storage in Franklin. See attached photo my boxes marked fragile are on the bottom right. I moved to iowa and was told by pensa they aren't responsible for damages since another company moved me even though I called the less than a month after move to Franklin and told dennis that they put boxes on top of my boxes marked fragile. A lot of my belongings I have had for forty years are destroyed thanks to pensa. I went on the second movers truck and saw all my fragile boxes on top of load Not bottom like pensa did. Pensa Mover drank my vodka in the morning

When I first contacted Louis from APensa, he was very upfront about everything. He explained the process of what we would need and even offered to work with our respective leasing agents to facilitate any paperwork they needed.
We booked a time to review our place and give an overall estimate. He was prompt, courteous and wearing a mask! He gave us a very reasonable quote and offered his assistance getting us in touch with the city for our traffic requirement.
The day of the move, his team was a little delayed (30 minutes) but this was because of the snowstorm just 2 days before. Once they arrived

We have been delayed in writing this review but finally have an opportunity! The crew was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Estimate to packing to moving.. we could not have asked for a better and more professional experience. They were timely, present, flexible, hardworking from start to finish. We had to get creative due to a malfunctioning service elevator and a stairwell too small for the sofa, but they delivered and were able to get all out without damage. (Old school method over balcony). I cannot recommend the team enough!

Absolutely topnotch moving company. We used them to move some very old and very fragile antique items....personnel were highly professional, friendly and quite attentive to our needs. They handled the items with great care and delivered them on schedule without a hitch. We highly recommend this company.

Lou the owner, has the most awesome men, Mike, Bo, Glen, Carlito, Grandpa Butch, working for him. Our packing day on Thursday went absolutely smooth. The delivery on Friday was simply great. Everything was wrapped and cared for as if there own. Even my ceramic Dog planter. And live plants make it. I highly recommend this company for your moving needs. Thank You all again for helping us make our transition perfect.

One of the movers harassed me during the move multiple times, saying highly inappropriate comments towards me. Very Overpriced for a local move. Damaged furniture and a wall during move without care for which we had to hire a professional to fix. I was solicited for tip later in the day by phone calls. Very unprofessional and never had to deal with such harassment from a moving company before.

Grandma's determination finally got me to submit (this stellar review)-
Lou and his crew were careful, methodical, deliberate, and fast with their service. During the Thanksgiving holiday window they picked up several roomfuls of furniture and art from my Grandma's house in New Jersey and delivered the property to Virginia without leaving behind damage or packaging.
As I am active duty in the USN, it is difficult to coordinate with service providers during g work hours. Lou and his guys met me on a Saturday morning. They delivered a truckload of furniture in just a couple hours. As an added challenge

I can't say enough good things about them.
I had an emergency situation where I had a fridge that had to be moved ASAP. Not only did they come out last minute, but they squeezed me in between jobs. They brought the fridge inside, got it to the kitchen (not a easy feat), and turned it upright for me.
They were a huge relief for me and I would highly recommend them. Lou is a great guy on top of all that.

Moved with Pensa in August 2019. My third move in three years. The only thing I can say is: why did I not find them earlier? These guys are A+. They showed up as promised on time, ready to go. Moved us extremely efficiently - most efficient crew I have seen. Unloading was just as quick and professional. It was a big move (3 bedroom into a house) and we were all wrapped by 4pm. They took great care of our belongings and really made an effort to preserve our new home. Their service is great too - no rudeness, good and thoughtful questions to make the experience as painless as possible.

I used A Pensa movers when my Mom passed away. They were careful moving her very precious items, courteous, on time and on budget. Louis gave me his cell phone, so he could always be reached. They were honest and I would definitely use them again and recommend them highly. His crew had been together for a long time and worked well together. Everything arrived in perfect condition. Items that needed to be taken apart for transport was also put back together carefully and were in perfect condition.

I am a military brat and understand the heavy pains of moving. I also have the lovely job of running offices and have coordinated to office moves in my life which is even MORE painful.
Lucky for me, I had Pensa (Lou) as my moving team which made everything a DREAM!
First, I called for a quote and Lou was at my office within hours. Unllike the others who came in for a quote, he looked at each office carefully, recognized the custom made desk for the CEO would have to be broken down a special way and rigged out of the window for a safe and scratch-less move. He also spoke in detail about moving

I have used other mover, much less expensive, in the past. They were more efficient and I never had an issue. Be careful of their minimum hours charge. Also, read the contract very carefully, unlike other companies, they add a lot of BS surcharges. I got them to get rid of most of them.
The job took half the time of their estimate and they still charged the full amount of estimate. The drivers showed up bragging they would finish in half the time, they did and in the process carelessly broke several items. They do not put the boxes in the correct rooms even though they are clearly marked. They

Guys moved quickly and got the move done in under the estimated time but my hardwood floors were completely scratched up in the new apt and many pictures were damaged and a mirror was completely broken. I sent the company am email with pictures and they didn't even reply with comments or an apology. I am disappointed to say the least.

My girlfriend and I made 2 moves into the same apartment in Hoboken from both in and out of Hoboken. She had used Pensa Modern Movers in the past and had a good experience. I did the estimates with Lou Pensa and I supervised both moving days. And I cannot say enough about how professional and thorough and thoughtful all of the guys were. Between Amy the office manager, to Butch the foreman, to Wayne and Bo and all the movers, everyone was awesome. I will call Pensa the next time we move. No questions asked. Thanks Lou!

Good guys, and moved things quickly and without breakage.
But I got charged extra because their insane manager was back at the office screaming at them (I could literally hear him through the phone) to charge me starting at 830 AM (when they arrived at the building) as opposed to 9 AM (when they started the move and when my building allowed them in). Not a huge difference but cost me $100.
I probably would not use them again unless in a pinch.

I cannot write enough positive things about my experience with Pensa Movers. I moved on Saturday, 8/27, the weekend that Hurricane Irene hit New Jersey. Pensa's team of four movers arrived at my condo on time at 9 am and had finished packing up the truck by 10:30. They were quick, careful, considerate, and professional. Two weeks before I moved, Lou Pensa came to my home to give me an estimate. Three days later, moving boxes were delivered. And on the day of the move, all I had to do was sit back and relax. It was wonderful to have such a stress-filled event in the very capable hands of this
