Anthony and his team were great. They did a hard job well and on time. They responded to messages--phone and text--promptly, and after the job was done Anthony helped me locate records I needed and was unable to find. I couldn't be happier with their work or their service. read more

I have moved a lot in my life and wish I found Big Hill sooner! Anthony and Chris were very nice on the phone. Patrick, Felipe, and one other young man did a very good job moving my things. They were on time, respectful, kind, and communicated very well with me during the move. I was in a storage unit and they made excellent time loading all my stuff into the truck. There was no procrastination, attitude, or rudeness on their part. Which I have experienced with other movers in the past A LOT. Patrick also offered to reassemble my bed frame when some pieces were missing and later found. I can't recommend these guys enough. As a Realtor I see a lot of companies and these guys are #1. I will always recommend them going forward. Thank you! read more

Anthony, Chris and Pat of Big Hill Movers did an awesome job moving Dad (Paul A. Bourassa) yesterday! They were all very respectful and kept moving till the job was done. If you need something moved, give Big Hill Movers a call! read more

Big Hill Movers - Even caught Anthony doing some of the heavy lifting! - Movers Near Me - Acton, Massachusetts

See all

Had the worst moving experience of my life. Movers were high and took 2+ longer than what I was quoted. I would not recommend this service.

The very best movers ever! The team of Brandon, Paul, and Felipe were the most efficient, helpful, careful, and pleasant movers I have ever encountered in my many moves throughout life. In addition, the cost was literally unbeatable. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to all! read more

Anthony and his crew are phenomenal. They know what they are doing and provide service above and beyond. He can move your stuff and take any junk as well. Not only can Anthony move you from your place, he has a list of people who he works with frequently that can help you fix things in your house, paint rooms that need paint and can connect you with a realtor. There is no one else I would use when it comes to moving. read more

We hired Anthony and his crew, and used them twice! Once in April and again in July. They are a great group of guys. Courteous, hard working and a pleasure to work with. I was totally amazed that they didn't loose any steam, even though they finished unpacking the truck at 12:30AM! Everything was perfectly packed and they didn't break a thing. After moving into our dream house, we're so not wanting to move again, but if we did....we'd call Anthony first! read more

I basically had the same experience as some of the other posters. I contracted them to move my apartment, they gave me a quote. When they started the move they told me it was going to to cost much more than originally quoted. They then held my furniture for ransom (not unloading my furniture) until I paid the added amount. In addition they lost the feet to a $300 ottoman and blamed me for it. They provided no contracts or receipts. While they Claes to be insured, they could not provide any proof. read more

Big Hill movers moved my stuff from Acton to Newton. Half my stuff went to a storage in Newton, and the other half went to a house. Anthony gave a pretty accurate estimate, and was very personable. They were recommended to me by our realtor, so I expected a smooth experience. The team that came were 3 people instead of 4, and only two trucks instead of 3. This happened because of confusion that arose due to changes in plans etc. and it is not entirely Anthony's fault. The movers were very nice, consummate professionals. They wrapped furniture and moved boxes, and even had masks on when we interacted. As a result of the confusion on the people/trucks, we all had to do two trips. Anthony adjusted the total cost to remove the additional trip time, and waiting time at the storage for unloading. While unloading, they made sure the boxes and furniture went to the right rooms, and the heavy furniture pieces are placed right. They even stored the stuff in the storage in rows, and showed me a pic afterwards. Nice! They also mistakenly took two of my items, a dolly and a mat in the truck - probably because it was 9PM when they were done, and they couldn't see. Anthony returned these to me within a week. Overall, they were very reasonable, courteous, and very eager to please. Any failings from their side were well compensated by how they worked with us on righting the wrong. I plan to use them again, and will highly recommend them for full 4 bedroom house moves. They really did a great job! read more

Thank you for a successful move. There was an issue about the actual packing and moving hours; however, this was quickly resolved. MLM read more

My experience with this company was fantastic ! They arrived on time, they moved fast and efficiently. They were personable and professional. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to hire them again. Chris, Anthony, and Pat- you guys were awesome ! read more

Worst moving experience I ever had. That includes having friends help in the past. Every paid move from other companies in the past were great. read more

Last December my brother used Big Hill Movers to move furniture from Framingham, Ma. to their storage section.He stopped payment in January but Anthony continued to take money from my credit card account for an extra two months. He said he would mail me a check but he never did. He took him to small claim courts in Concord but he didn't show. My brother is a disabled senior and wants to let you know to please be careful about using this company. They lie to customers. read more

I called this company for a local move of one item from one town to another, a 20 minute drive. I was quoted a price to move the item that evening, but I was unable to get in touch with the seller to get things set up. We then scheduled the move for the following week. I was never told the price quoted was a special deal because it was last minute and that there was a new price of $150 extra for the day they offered me. Anthony is now claiming i owe his company because I opened my emails seeing the confirmation of dates, signed a cell phone agreeing to pay the higher amount (that i was told was agreeing to move items, not pay - i haven't received a copy of those documents -) and it's my word against his. I believe this is a case of bait and switch. Anthony talks a good game on the phone, but he is not to be trusted. The movers were great, but communication between the office staff, him and the customer is poor at best. Had i known of paying more for the move than the item, I would have canceled. STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM THIS MOVING COMPANY AS YOU CAN! They have no conscience. read more

Big Hill Movers were great! Very flexible and professional. I would highly recommend.

These guys helped me move my stuff from a storage unit in Mass up to Maine. They did a good job and gave me set price up front (and stuck to it), which was important to me. They did the whole thing for a good price too. They are not a fancy moving company with a shiny truck & uniforms. They are 2-3 guys and a truck who will move your stuff for a reasonable price. They had common sense and experience. They also listened and took direction well. My stuff is not priceless or exceedingly fragile but everything was moved safely and with no damage. These are good budget movers with strong backs. I would use them again. read more

Great experience using Big Hill Movers! Great communication. Also, the movers took precautions and used the time efficiently. Professional, organized.... would definitely recommend. read more

The movers were high as a kite, my belongings ended up damaged. Stay far away from this unprofessional horribly managed company!

I hired Big Hill Movers for a 65-mile move (Metrowest area to the South Shore). My initial consultation with Anthony was polite and helpful. We discussed options, pricing, how many laborers would be needed, and scheduling. Anthony was accommodating in every way. On the day of the move the crew was great. They put down blankets on the hardwood floor and door jambs to avoid scratching. They wrapped every piece of furniture I had asked them to wrap. They insisted that I not carry any of the heavy pieces of furniture with them (liability reasons). In fact, there was one instance where one of the crew members rushed over and relieved me from moving a piece of furniture. Load in was done in a very reasonable amount of time. Everything fit on the truck perfectly with no room to spare. The crew was pleasant, helpful and accommodating throughout the entire day. Whenever I asked them to do something, they were eager to take care of it. Big Hill Movers = Big Value, Big Help! read more

Excellent operation. These guys are affordable, professional, courteous, and easy to work with. Yelp is full of "squeaky wheels" but I can say, first-hand experience, Big Hill Movers is simply the best in the area. They go above and beyond and charge a lot less than the competition. The owner is a pleasure to work with, and his crews clearly know what they're doing. A+ read more

I have moved well over 30 times in my life, not to mention the countless other moving of furniture to and fro...this was - HANDS DOWN- THE ABSOLUTE BEST moving experience I have ever had in my life! Anthony, the owner, is attentive and helpful. I only had one small job, which I have never called a moving company for... but there were three gorgeous micentury teak pieces about an hour from me. I just needed a little extra help and Anthony treated me like a client moving her jewels overseas! i requested that the guys call me when they were 15 minutes out. I didn't hold my breath. But, sure enough, they called 15 minutes out and Patrick even asked if I needed a coffee. They showed up so prepared- they put padding on everything - including the stairwell- and loaded that teak into my van like precious cargo. They did it all on time and with smiles on their faces. My faith in humanity is restored. Please hire these guys...you will not be disappointed. read more

I used them to move some furniture I was donating. They also moved a bar that I had sold to another location. They were on time and carefully moved and delivered everything. They were friendly and polite. Although I think there cost was a little high it was what they quoted. read more

DO NOT USE THEM. Not only did they damage and destroy 9 pieces of furniture (some were family heirlooms) - they assembled my beds wrong (we had to redo them all) and lost the screws and securing nuts. They also took a DAY longer with a truck that broke down with my furniture on it - and my final cost was 3 TIMES more than my quote. They promised to make good on the furniture - one bureau was trashed completely and they said they would replace it in full - but also that their insurance would be covering the rest. This happened on 8/1/2020 - and today is 11/30/2020 - yes 3 MONTHS - and they are not returning my calls or request to get my money. Anthony is a scam artist. Chris - the lead - is awesome but has to do all of the talking for his boss. STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU GUYS.....Betsy read more

I have never written a negative review on any search engine before. But this horrible experience was a first. Anthony of Big Hill Movers arrived at my house on 6/26/17 and took a tour to assess my moving job. He quoted me $1072 for the job. Materials would be on top of that. He said two loads would be required, which surprised me because previous experience told me that my belongs would all fit in his truck. I have a one floor, one bedroom, one bath ranch, and it was not cluttered. He and his crew put a few tables in the truck and then left, ostensibly to get materials at a Lowes that is about 4 miles from my house. They were gone an hour and a half and charged me for that time. In all, it took them 10 hours to arrive at my new address with the first load. I complained that that was slow, and they said the packing had taken a lot of time. I do not know the box count since they did not give me a receipt nor any copy of their paperwork. I was expecting to get those when the move was done, but that never happened. When they arrived at my new address, someone who said he was a manager demanded $1439.00 before he would unload the truck. Anthony had disappeared. I complained that the $250 that he quoted for materials, plus the $1072 that Anthony quoted, was only $1322, and he said those were the hours the first load required. He said the second load would be more money. I objected that that was not my arrangement with Anthony, and he had Anthony call me. Anthony said the $1072 was just an estimate and the second load would indeed be another fee. I paid $1439 because I did not see any alternative. Anthony reappeared, and when my belongings had been unloaded, he said they were not going to do the second load because "it was a hostile environment" and "the guys were uncomfortable." I was left with some of my belongings at the old address and some at the new one. I had paid $1439 for half of a small move, and Anthony left without giving me a receipt. A previous complainant has a similar story, reporting that he was charged triple the estimate he had been given. Big Hill Movers practices bait and switch tactics. I believe they broke my move into two loads because they intended all along to charge me twice. I believe they did not do the second load because the previous complainant that I mention was refunded some of his money, and I told Anthony that I would complain to the BBB. Big Hill Movers is an unscrupulous, dishonest outfit and should be forced out of business. I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and with the MA Attorney General's Office. read more

I am thoroughly pleased with the service I received from Big Hill Movers today. Anthony was able to squeeze me in within a day's notice, on busy Easter weekend no less. Anthony, Chris and Rich were extremely accommodating, were able to navigate my building's onerous parking/lobby-entry situation, were positive, friendly, and easy to communicate with. Moving in general is really stressful, and even with myself having been somewhat sleep deprived and barely able to form full sentences, they made me feel comfortable, asked all the right questions, and got everything to where it needed to go so quickly and without a scratch. Well worth the price, which was very reasonable at $450 for a three hour window on a weekend. Thank you so much guys! You made my weekend 1000x less stressful! read more

I would give Big Hill Movers 10 stars, if Yelp would let me. We moved from Boxborough to Concord on one week's notice during the busiest week of the year. Lots of companies said, "Sorry, you're too late," but Anthony said yes. The truck arrived early with three men aboard instead of two, at no extra charge. Chris and his men did a quick survey and then worked for four straight hours. They wore masks at all times. They were courteous to us and each other. They worked fast, efficiently and carefully. Unloading at the new apartment, they helped arrange the furniture. I apologize for not remembering the other two men's names, but fellows, you were all terrific. read more

Chris and his brother are reliable, prompt and do a fantastic job for a reasonable rate. They are always talking about how they recycle and donate as much as possible and are motivating with their constant enthusiasm. read more

Anthony and his team at Big Hill Movers are reliable, reasonably priced, and incredibly professional. We used Big Hill Movers recently to move our office into a new space. Anthony was incredibly responsive to our needs. Because of variables on our end, we had to change our date a couple of times, and Anthony was very accommodating. On the day of our move, he came with an excellent team. They did an excellent job and took great care with our furniture and other items. The biggest thing you notice about Anthony's team is their attitude - all of the guys who worked on our move were pleasant, enthusiastic, and easy to work with. I cannot recommend these guys enough! read more

I am going to recommend Big Hill Movers to everyone! They did an excellent job making sure that my belongings were not damaged and that they put things in the correct location. It made the move easy and I am so glad I hired them. read more

At first I must say I was impressed with my phone conversation with Anthony and his willingness to help. The ad on Craigslist quoted 79/hr, and when I called it was said it was $150 because it was Sept. 1 ( I get it, supply and demand). There would be a 2Hr. minimum. My time slot was slated for the morning which I assume is between 8 and 10. At 9AM I texted Anthony for an ETA, which I thought was completely appropriate: My question: Do you have an ETA to when the movers will arrive? Response: No Around 11AM I called, with no response, and no response to my voicemail At 1:45pm I texted again, concerned that I needed to make other plans, when he responded that I was next on the list. The movers arrived at 3:05PM. Nice enough guys. Who introduced themselves and I showed them around the place and what was to be moved. At 3:20 I signed my contract, however they quoted a start time of 3:05, literally the second they parked, so 15 minutes was immediately lost, and I was then made aware it was cash only which was never discussed. I asked Anthony for a break because they were 5 hours late with no luck. The move out went smoothly, but the move in was very difficult, with much of my leather furniture being scratched. I do appreciate that they were trying to keep it under 3 hours, but there was easily a back door which had an easier access way. A more professional moving company would have company tee shirts or something to keep the sweat off of all my things. Wearing a cutoff shirt was unprofessional on a hot day. I would not recommend using this company, not due to the movers themselves, but the disappointing service,and complete lack of any communication from my point person. My mantra is typically: you get what you pay for, and for $450, I would have expected a much better experience. read more

Unbelievably professional and courteous. Will never use anyone else for my moving needs.

These guys are solid. They aren't a big time operation, but they do good work and are honest folk. They absolute masters at fitting furniture in tight spaces. I would definitely use them again if I was still in the area. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. This guy Anthony claims to be a moving company. He is NOT! Don't be deceived by these crooks. They should be arrested. I contacted him for moving services giving him exact size of my storage facility. I was quoted 495$. After placing my furniture into a small truck that is not even a moving truck, he told me I had to pay him $1500 and he refused to give me my furniture back. He was swearing at me and was extremely hostile. I didn't want to make a scene in my new neighborhood by starting off with police sirens so gave him part of the money to give me my furniture back and go away. Afterwards I filed a report with the local authorities and Better Business Bureau. DO NOT USE THIS SO CALLED COMPANY IT'S A SCAM! read more

I recently did a 2 bedroom move and hired Big Hill Movers. Let me say, I was incredibly impressed! Chris and Paul were our movers. And, they were incredibly professional, friendly, funny, and caring. They are very hard workers and not much phases them. They moved our furniture in a caring, professional manner. They ensured everything was secured properly in the truck. And, even made sure to use blankets on all items to prevent damage. Great guys, felt like I was moving with friends rather than workers. read more

I called the Maynard number and hired them to move 3 items 10 miles. I fully described the 3 items. They quoted $250. When they showed up, the had no dolly and no padding. They charged me an additional $225 to go and get them (took 30 minutes). They had me over a barrel and knew it. They demanded cash before they would load the truck. A classis "bait and switch." They wouldn't even give me a receipt until I absolutely demanded it (IRS, are you reading this). What kind of mover doesn't have dollies and pads? Stay away from these people! read more

These people are calling themselves "Big Hill Home Services" over the winter, and are doing tasks like snow and ice dam removal from houses. I know this is the same company because the phone numbers and names match (e.g., same owner and same phone number from the ads). Overall, it's been a horrible experience. First, in the same pattern as James noted, they accept cash only, won't start work until cash is paid up front, and still have not provided us a receipt (definitely agree that the IRS should take notice). Worse, though, they clearly don't know what they're doing with the job. They came with axes to hack at the ice (we are first time home-owners, so we didn't know any better; but afterwards, when we had roofers come in and look, we learned that that is absolutely NOT the right tool to be using for the job). In hacking at the ice, they were not careful about it at all, and they damaged our roof significantly. Not just a few cracked shingles; actual HOLES in the roof, with splintered wood and pierced metal. When they left, they told us that we had some rotting on the roof, and to have roofers take a look to repair. We had two roofers come in, and both have said that there is no rotting -- it's just a terrible job by ice dam removers who didn't know what they were doing, leaving us with four distinct holes int eh roof, and about $2000 worth of damages. I wanted to get a public review out on these guys in the hopes that others won't make the same mistake of hiring these guys for ice dam removal. read more

I just had Anthony from Big Hill Movers move a high end very heavy 7 piece bedroom set and I couldn't be happier. They were professional and polite and moved everything quickly and expertly. Reasonable price. I would highly recommend them for any moving job! read more

Competent, friendly and courteous. Reasonable prices for small moves -- like an exercise bike from the basement to the 3rd floor. The kinds of things you can't get anyone to do... they do! read more

I am a private concierge (Nimble Concierge) and move manager who often uses Big Hill Movers. They have moved numerous difficult clients as well as me. As you can imagine I have to be very picky to recommend them to my clients because it reflects on my business. I highly recommend this team. It is a family who are honest, on time, professional and reliable. A joy to work with. read more

If I didn't have to list any stars, I wouldn't. I'm not sure that I've ever written a Yelp review, but this one seemed necessary. I truly could not have had a worse experience with Anthony and his team of movers this past weekend. I was given the time window of 8AM-12PM to expect Anthony and Chris. On our first call, I explained I needed to be out by 12PM or I would be charged additionally by my landlord. I called Anthony the day before to confirm the time window and reiterate that I needed a mover to be at the house by 12PM the absolute latest. All I needed moved was a bed, bed frame, and small dresser. When I spoke with Anthony, he couldn't be bothered. He answered and said "well i'm busy at another job so I can't confirm." This is less than 24 hours before my scheduled move. Whatever. Sept 1st comes around and I check in again with Anthony in the morning to let him know I have reserved the spot in front of my house to make this move as quick and easy for everyone as possible. Everything else had already been moved out. At 11:55am, 5 minutes before the end of the provided time slot, I reached out for an updated ETA from the movers, as I was now expecting to have to also pay an additional fee to my landlord. No answer. Nothing until 12:20, he said "My guy is finishing unloading now and will give you a call in a few minutes." I did not hear from Chris until 1:20PM. He called and was rambling, a LOT. Gave me the whole sob story that his last job went longer than expected, yadda ya. Whatever. BUT then, he starts with "yeah, you know actually i'm pretty hungry so I'll probably stop for some lunch. GPS says 35 minutes but I'm adding a lunch stop, so I'll be there about 2PM. Chris and his partner did not show up, so I called at 2:15PM. He said they were "six minutes away but, you know boston, could be 20 minutes" - what? when does 6 minutes EVER become 20 minutes? - anyway, shows up at 2:40. Honestly, I have 3 friends who work for a moving company in Lancaster. When I told them this story, they were horrified. I don't understand how this could've happened. My furniture was delivered with marks EVERYWHERE. The movers had such bad b.o. that my furniture is absolutely soiled by it. Its the only thing people could smell walking into my room for days. Not even a call from Anthony to apologize or explain. I called him 3-4 times after his movers arrived, not even a call back. He avoided my calls all day. I was forced to pay an additional fee to my landlord for being in the apartment THREE HOURS after I was scheduled and confirmed to be out. In addition, I had to pay for the movers for the new tenants, as I was forced to send them back out when they arrived and my belongings were not removed. I've never been so disappointed in a business before. To add insult to injury, the movers started charging me at 2:35PM. When signing my contract (when they arrived), I noted that they had not shown up to my door until 2:40PM. Chris said "yeah well we were at the bottom of the block outside the wrong house for a few minutes, and you know - most places start charging as soon as they start driving to the location" ---- OH so, I should be charged for your lunch break and the 3 hour delay as well? Nah. This was just........awful. Anthony, feel free to reach out to try and resolve this. I've tried contacting you directly several times since Saturday. I'm sorry I had to resort to such a public outcry to make things right. Thanks. Sarah read more
