I was ending my 35-year stint in New York City and my 20-year residence in an apartment I loved, so moving day found me emotionally fraught, to say the least. Big John's crew: Teddy, Freddy, Paul, Connor, and their chief, Ephran, walked in, with Teddy saying in the brightest humor, "It will all be fine, this will happen, this will happen." Hard to describe how infectious his positive spirit was for me. These guys suffered a bit because the company's estimator had underestimated my cleverness at storing loads of materials in ... read more
This company is the BEST!!! Not only were they prompt, professional, and courteous, they actually made a difficult move look effortless. They boxed up several big items that I didn't have pre-packed and moved everything into my new space so quickly and perfectly that I was in awe of their work. The building I was moving into had many physical obstacles (front entrance steps, a tricky elevator, etc.), and that did not detract them in the least. They worked with such great skill and teamwork, it was almost like watching a pro ... read more
They showed up right on time came in asked for a tour and promptly got to work. Prior to the move they estimated it would take 11 hours plus 2 hours travel time and brought 2 trucks. They were very professional and very focused while loading the trucks their team had a system down, everyone had a specific job and they worked well together. I provided water and snacks before lunch which seemed to disappear but I never saw anyone sitting down for a break. I also brought them a 3ft hero for lunch, they told me not to get it unt... read more
It was an excellent experience, and I would give them 5 stars for the service. I used Big Johns Moving Inc.
It was a wonderful experience. The guys showed up right on time (6 am!), explained the plan, and got to work. They were very pleasant and handled all of our stuff with care. We did the whole move in one day (from NYC to Boston), which means the guys drove 8+ hours in addition to moving our stuff in and out. I give them a lot of credit. Other moving companies were more expensive and insisted on a 2-day move, which wasn't ideal for our schedule. Moved my New York City 1BR apt into a storage unit in Massachusetts.
Did a great job. Moved and packed from Riverdale, N Y., to Bluffton, S C
Punctual. Good attitude. Stayed true to the bid. Flexible. Move went very smoothly. No hesitation in recommending them. Moved from New York to DC.
I am doing some of the packing myself and don't have much left for them to pack. I live in an apartment so I do not have much furniture to move as well. I felt there estimate was a little too high. I had big Johns Moving and two other moving companies give me an estimate for a move. They were the highest estimate and I decided to go with another company.
Business response:
We are moderately priced for companies that are established (over 30 years) and are complaint free with consumer agencies. Sometimes, a low bid does not mean a great job. We would love to work with this customer if pricing is the main issue.
For us, the move seemed complicated, for them, it seemed easy. I was also very nervous about 2 sofas that had been extremely difficult to move into our 1 BR apartment, but they moved them out and into the new apartment with no problem at all. It made me realize that the movers for the furniture company that had delivered the sofas had NO IDEA WHAT THEY WERE DOING. Big John's really know how to move. They moved us from a one bedroom apartment on the UWS to a 2 BR in Harlem. There were 2 additional stops and storage sites.
