The Right Place For Finding The Right Pros Near You!
Full disclosure: I was an employee of McAvey Moving full/part time and during summer holidays from 1987 to 1997.
Our family has used only one other moving company in our 41 year timeline, and that was our overseas move in 2020 during the height of the Covid nightmare. Even then, I tried to get McAvey to take the job but Brian steered me to use another service that specializes in overseas transport. He was giving us his professional opinion, and I know he had our best interests at heart. That is a theme of the McAvey Moving Company, the client’s best interest is at the center of every job.
It's common knowledge that moving is one of the most stressful events in one’s lifetime. Even though I've worked as a mover and I know the process pretty well, I was apprehensive about every one of our family's moves, and since 2020, the count is four. I called McAvey each time because I knew we would get quality, dependable, service, a reasonable price, and most importantly, peace of mind.
Here’s a quick run down:
2020: We sold our home in the Bronx, shipped most contents overseas to our second home, and McAvey was hired to take the contents of two bedrooms, diningroom and kitchen to a rental house in Larchmont. This was November 2020 - no vaccines yet. Proper Covid protocol was followed, and the crew of four men were thorough and careful. The house in Larchmont was up a cliff basically, and had a three flight carry. Nobody balked. Not a bad word was spoken and the guys were in excellent humor. That was a burden relieved. The price was excellent and competitive. The men were great workers and funny as hell.
2022: In July we vacated Larchmont to an apartment in Harrison. Once again, a crew of four showed up to wrap and load our furniture. One of the bedrooms was being shipped upstate to my sister’s house and the men were careful to separate the two shipments. Again, the crew was professional and courteous. It was a hot July day, and despite the mountain-goat-carry to the truck compounded with the heat, there was no balking, just straightforward hard work. The new apartment complex board was very uptight about the possibility of any damage. They needed proof of insurance etc. Not a problem. Toni delivered same day service. She runs a tight ship, and adds to the feeling that the customer is in good, capable, hands. Toni exudes a calm confidence that puts a nervous person like me at ease. Of course, there was no damage and we got our move-in deposit returned. Another stressor relieved by McAvey Moving.
2024: Our most recent move was to leave New York altogether and land in Florida. Once again, McAvey was hired. The crew arrived at 10:00 am July 18th and had my goods loaded by 11:30am. The three man crew was really careful with my stuff. Even the pictures which have almost zero value were a point of discussion. I told Bill, the driver, to just throw a pad around them, they’re not important. He wasn't comfortable with that plan. When they arrived in Florida, on Brian's orders, each picture was wrapped in mirror wrap. Unbelievable. Speaking of the arrival in Florida, I moved out on the 18th and my stuff arrived on Tuesday the 23rd - a day ahead of schedule - and a full two weeks before I even expected the delivery to show. Eugene McAvey, President, arrived with my stuff from NY and delivered it in person! We haven't laid eyes on each other in 25 years, but my mover-muscle-memory returned, and two grizzled 60+ year-old former colleagues had the truck unloaded in an hour. The poor people in the complex were all stares at this unusual spectacle. Ah, the good old days. After driving all day, Eugene had the stamina to head off into the sunset. He wanted to get to his sister’s place the next day. We parted with a firm handshake and a few laughs.
Yes, this is a biased review. Take it or leave it. We use McAvey Moving because the service is high quality and fairly priced. They are intelligent, thorough, and more importantly, every member of the team has t

Amazing! The staff is VERY kind, gentle and friendly! I have been to many groomers in the Westchester area and beyond relieved to have found Pups and Suds. They are clean, timely and make grooming a smooth process for you and your pup. Also, the cut is exactly what you ask for, they truly listen and care. THANK YOU!!
The best. Dan is amazing and the customer service is the best. After two year of being a maintenance customer I will never look elsewhere! Thank you to the ace team.
Bill is a serious mold remediation contractor! Highly recommend for home owners!
Will and his team did an excellent job refinishing my hardwood floors, replacing tile in my kitchen and replacing all of my baseboards. He was fast, professional and finished the work within the quoted time. His team even went above and beyond and helped me move furniture around even though they were not required to. Highly recommended!!!Services: Tile work installation
Because of my schedule I am always a walk in. Everyone was polite. They got me in the chair quickely and the barber that I had gave me one of the best cuts I have had in a long time at a resonable price. Highly recomend.
Rose has been doing my hair for a few years now. Love her and Jenny! Reasonably priced also.
Old World Barber Shop is one of the best kept secrets of all times. I have lived in the area all my life and have become familiar with many of the local businesses and the quality of their services. I have gone to other hair salons in the past, often overpaid for haircuts so decided to try someone new. This was my first experience with Leo at Old World Barber shop. Finally a very good men's haircut at a very reasonable price in a very friendly relaxed environment. Leo listened to how I wanted my hair to look, took his time and gave me a really great haircut. All for ONLY $25.00 ! Based on my first experience I will become a regular customer and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great haircut at a very reasonable price. 5 STARS !
I have been going to Proactive Physical Therapy since 2022 and have had the privilege of having an incredible group of professionals and people help me in my recovery. From the front office to the clinic floor, everyone is a pleasure to be around and has made my time here worthwhile.
The entire experience of working with Innov8tive was world-class from the bidding, scheduling, tank removal / new installation and follow-up details. The entire team was professional, friendly and communicative. I would highly recommend this company for all of your environmental needs!!
The lady is nice to me . When I went there, it was clean and welcoming. I sat down these comforting chairs. And she did my hair very well. My highlights are nice and perfect and they 100% recommend this place and the lady is really nice and welcoming to her customers.
My parents have a family plot there. I love visiting and sitting with my sisters, enjoying the serenity of the location when I visit. It is a beautiful cemetery.
Dr Fenster is a 10star physician… besides being knowledgeable polite and professional he really listens to your woes! JoeAnn Hickey
Dr. Goyal so kind and caring as well as a real expert in the field. Got spider veins done with very little discomfort.
Kim is amazing. She makes you feel so relaxed after each massage. Highly recommend!
I used this company to repair a leaking vent pipe seal a few weeks ago. Luis came and resolved by issue and his price was very fair. You can see that he takes pride in his work, he is very easy to talk to and explains everything he is doing. I would gladly recommend him to anyone who needs roofing work done.
I want to give thanks to Dr.Kaul and his wonderful staff! best decision I've made was going to him. highly recommended!!
I like this place for the pricing and location. The staff is also super friendly. They take their time to paint to the edges. I've done regular mani, powder, and pedicures-- all good experiences. I am only taking off a star because the space is a little cluttered. Perhaps an additional closet or some shelving could help with this.

Over the last 25 years Valhalla Animal Hospital has taken care of my 3 Wolfhounds, 3 Greyhounds and currently my 2 Staghounds. This is only the second time I have ever left a review somewhere but felt it necessary due to the care they received. This place is truly amazing at diagnostics. Their pragmatic approach has literally saved me thousands over the years. I highly recommend them for emergencies and everyday care.
Nicholas did a great job, was very professional and cleaned up the work area.
