Our Values

Cool Hand Movers is a family-owned, local moving company with over ten years of experience moving New Yorkers. Owned and operated by husband-and-wife team, Matt & Ashley Graber, this NYC small business takes pride in providing quality experiences to our clients, our team members and our community.

We think you should know what people are saying about us. New York Magazine calls us the “Best Movers in New York for a Hand with Packing.” You can click here to read more of our moving reviews. We appreciate every client who takes the time to write about their experience—and you, for taking the time to consider us.

A NEW YORK CITY MOVING COMPANY born and raised in Brooklyn, NY.

After graduating from college amid an economic downturn, Matt supplemented a job in local journalism by becoming a man-with-a-van. The business grew entirely by word of mouth and Matt learned how to be a mover and business owner along the way. Matt fully licensed and incorporated Cool Hand Movers in 2016, building on the track record that he and his teams had already built, but bringing purpose to the business. Today, you won’t see Matt on the crew unless he’s leading a training. But our clients can still count on their Cool Hand Movers to be kind professionals who have received paid training on both moving skills and customer interaction, and who earn an hourly living wage.

The continued support of our gracious clients has sustained us in one of New York City’s most competitive industries and through a very challenging couple of years. Thank you to every member of the Cool Hand community who has taken the time to book us, write a review, follow us, or spread the word.

Since beginning operations in Park Slope, Brooklyn in 2010, Cool Hand Movers has grown a network of satisfied customers and other local businesses by sticking to our values:

  1. We strive to consistently provide quality services to all clients.

  2. Our booking and payment options aim to deliver convenience.

  3. Team members are hired and trained to be your friendly, neighborhood movers.

  4. Through forming partnerships, donating services, and more, we continue to invest in our community.

We’re committed to delivering convenient booking and quality services from friendly teams, all while being a contributing member of our local community.
