Need a very large heavy piece of furniture moved from my first floor to my second floor (Lage staircase with a landing). It weighed at least 300 pounds and was 8-9 feet tall. It was just two guys (it took three guys to get it out of my aunts home) and they did it without any damage. Very impressed! read more

Big Mikes Moving and Hauling - Large armoire (my ceilings are 12 feet high) - Movers Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

I called a few other places but I am SO glad I stumbled upon this small moving company. The owner clearly takes great pride in his work. Let me tell you, these guys were THE BEST! Glenn (a longtime supervisor) and his crew were amazing. My furniture was NOT small and NOT light. I also had a jukebox in my basement that had to be carried up a flight of stairs as well as a bunch of heavy boxes that had to be taken down from a loft on a narrow staircase! They did it all with a smile. You will not find more friendly, cautious guys in this area. They treated all my items with great care. From now on I will ALWAYS recommend Big Mike to anybody in need of a mover. Plus, they did all that for one extremely reasonable no nonsense flat rate. I gave each one of the three men a well deserved $20 tip. Call these guys. You won't be sorry! read more

We hired Big Mike to pack our moving trailer for a cross country move. The day started out on the wrong foot when the movers were late. When they arrived I asked why they didn't call me to let me know they were running late (the moving truck was only going to be at our house for a 5 hour window before it would be leaving for storage for 30 days.) they said the owner didn't give them my cell phone number. I informed the owner this was a typical Newport, RI house, narrow hall and stairways and several of our pieces would need to go over the balcony to the ground level -- the workers informed me that their boss "Big Mike" informed them to drag the estimated 2.5-3hour move to 5 hours that way they could make more money. Sounds like a wonderful guy... The movers did a decent job hustling, and we did have some heavy pieces that they maneuvered down to the truck without marking the walls, which was appreciated. However, about an hour in, one of the guys joked about being accused of stealing from one past client...he joked that it was VHS tapes, and why would he steal VHS tapes when everyone has a DVD player now...this made my boyfriend and I uneasy, as only a thief would joke about being accused of being a thief. Long story short -- at the end of the move, our iPad was gone from the house. The worker who joked about being accused of stealing had gone into our downstairs bathroom -- that had been closed to the movers because the dog and all of our stuff that was not moving in the truck across country was in there for safe keeping. After he used the bathroom (very very quickly) not only was our iPad missing, but also the charger the kindle (which is also white and looks like an apple charger to a non-kindle owner) were gone. They had up and vanished into thin air with only myself and the movers being in the house that day. After scouring the empty house, 6 suitcases and rental car we realized that they both had been stolen from our house right out from under me. When I called the owner he acted outraged at his workers and actually said he'd like to, "ring his neck" when talking about the worker in question. He promised to investigate, check the local pawn shops and get back to me at 6pm the next day. Well, he never got back to me, and I called to follow up with him twice before filing a police report and he still to this day 2 months later has never gotten back to me. He even went and blocked me from his facebook page even though I hadn't even posted a single thing to it--positive or negative. I wouldn't hire these guys to move one box anywhere, and certainly wouldn't let them into my house. When our moving truck arrived in California from Rhode Island, I also discovered that the "professional" movers Big Mike hires didn't wrap our mattress, boxspring, and sofa in the bags I purchased and handed to them. I found them on the floor of the moving truck in the packaging, and lucky for us all our furniture now has grease stains including the Tempurpedic. These guys suck. read more

Well, I had to revise my past review! After many years of helpful service, he has taken my $420.00 and disappeared. Will not return phone calls, texts etc. Tried numerous times since end of May to talk with him before I posted this negative remark. read more

Big Mike's by far is the best moving company I have ever did business with. He and his staff are very professional and efficient. I have moved many times since my divorce, and I never had a mover not break, beat up, or ruin anything in the move. Kudos Mikchael Barry to you and your staff. I will recommend you to everyo I know. Thank you again, D & R read more

I called Big Mikes on a Friday morning when my other movers had no showed. He had a team of three men out to my place the next morning! They were right on time, polite and courteous. I was given a flat rate so there was absolutely no worries of additional fees. They went above and beyond!!!! read more

I will not move unless Big Mikes crew is doing it. I have moved three times in the past year. Each move Big Mikes guys showed up on time and were professional. No damage throughout all three moves. Can't compliment this company enough. Call them! read more

Warning! Do not use Big Mike's Movers! I hired them for my move twice. The first time, they sent me two young boys, maybe early college age. The boys worked very slowly and I was consequently charged more money because they were slow. For my second move, they never showed up! When I rescheduled, they sent three men and a truck that was entirely too small. The men loaded the truck and delivered the first load to my apartment. The second load did not entirely arrive! I am missing apparel, cookware, keepsakes.... things that my Grandparents left me and items my children had made. These things are irreplaceable! If you value your possessions, protect them from Big Mike's Movers and their shoddy performance!!! read more

Really wanted to like this company. Owner appears to be overwhelmed and is unable to return phone calls once he has secured your business. He sent two movers with a tiny truck. They quickly realized it was too small and said they'd be back in 20 minutes. They never returned. My phone calls and messages to the owner were never returned. As I only took the one day off work, I had to scramble to hire another company at the last minute. I'm sure if you have a small job this company would be fine, but caveat emptor. read more

The crew from Big Mikes was absolutely amazing! Not only were they extremely professional, helpful, and efficient at packing the moving truck, but also they were so very friendly and kind. As much as moving sucks, we really enjoyed our day with this great crew! They took the stress out of moving and we are so thankful for their help and hard work!! We would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a move, and would use them again in a heartbeat if the need ever arises. read more

I use big mike moving he friendly quick and dependable!! They say when when they're going to be be there and there are!! All my stuff came back and came back back in same they same way it left!!!! read more

5 Stars for Mike and his crew!! They moved me on very short notice out of state. They are professional and very accommodating. I had to change my move date twice due to snow and they were there the very next morning. Their prices can't be beat!! Mike is a great guy to work with! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! On time, professional, efficient and super friendly. And you won't beat the price! I hope I don't have to move again for a long time but I have this number saved for when that time does come. read more

My husband booked this moving company a week in advance. They never showed. My husband called and texted them with no response. Looks like they do this to people frequently. read more

What a great experience I had today with this company! Courteous, professional movers at a great price. I will recommend Big Mikes to friends and definitely use them again! :) read more

We hired them for the first time for a relatively small move. Mike sent a couple of guys and a truck. They were very polite, careful and respectful. They did not even for once whine about anything. It was a hot day- so I got the guys some donuts and cold soda. I tipped them around $35. Overall good experience. read more

I made an appointment for Big Mike's to pack my truck. The company called to confirm the appointment the night before, but no one showed up on moving day. When I called the company, they assured me that they would address the issue then call me back. Instead, they never called back and sent all of my calls to voicemail. If you're on a tight schedule, you may want to find a more reliable mover. read more

I used these guys to unload me when I moved here 2.5 years ago. They unloaded a 28' trailer in less than 4 hours. I bought them lunch as a thank you. The only "down" side was that a couple of the guys didn't pay attention to where boxes were to go. So I had to do some shuffling. I am getting ready to move again and I have hired Mike and his crew again. And I have promised them coffee and donuts! read more

Mike Barry provided me with a very professional and pleasant experience in removing a very heavy furniture set from my third floor condo. It helped that the price was right, as well. Would definitely use Big Mike's Hauling again in the future. read more

I had a great experience with Mike and his moving company last month. I needed 3 large items moved from a townhouse to a 2nd floor apt built in the 1920s and the price they quoted me was better than any place I called. It was a bit hard to get a hold of them because the voicemail was full at the time...your best bet is speaking to them in person, agreeing on a quote and setting a time to move in the same phone conversation. My messages in their voicemail before I reached them in person were not returned, but that may have been the volume of messages they had! They did call before the move to confirm they were arriving shortly. 2 movers came and had a positive attitude the entire time. I would definitely hire them again! read more

I should mention that this was my first experience hiring movers, so I have little to compare it to. But WOW, did these guys make our move a million times easier. We were able to get Big Mike's company with little advance notice, at a busy time of year, when most UHauls were already rented out. Mike confirmed the time beforehand, and the crew of two arrived right on time. These guys on the crew were super courteous, polite, and professional. They were not rushing around, and were extra careful around corners and doors. We paid per the truckload. They were accommodating, even though our move was a bit complex (went to two locations). They offered to go above and beyond, and even assembled my bed for me at the destination location! They were very good at packing, and used plenty of blankets when necessary. No grumbling at all when they saw the narrow staircase in one of the destinations. Very upbeat and friendly! They were able to fit way more in the truck than we were expecting. AND, it was affordable. Highly recommended! read more

I have hired Big Mike's movers twice now, and I have been satisfied both times. In one case, they moved a washer and dryer from a very unpleasant basement location, up difficult and rickety stairs, to my office. In another case, they moved myself and one other person from one apartment in Providence to two separate locations in RI. In both instances, the movers were on time, polite, careful, aware of what they were doing, friendly, professional, thorough, respectful, and prompt but not rushed at all. I was pleased and impressed. In both cases, they managed complex logistics with ease and precision. I will definitely hire them for my next move, without a doubt. read more

They never showed up. Didn't call or email and Mike either didn't answer the phone or sent me to voicemail multiple times.

We have been using big mike and his team for over two years. We had used them for both of our residential moves and they frequently move heavy and expensive Copy machines for our business. Their prices are unbeatable, and service is fast, friendly and professional. Mike and his team and truly the best move team around. read more

Again Mike did an amazing job! We call him every time we need things moved and or taken away. He is professional, responsive, accommodating and fair. We trust him completely! Thank you Mike for being our go-to awesome guy! read more

Couldn't be happier with Mike and his crew! They did an excellent job with our move and were professional, courteous and very careful with our belongings. Mike responded quickly to our call and was able to work with our tight timeframe. His price was extremely fair and well worth the hard work they put in. Would highly recommend this great company! read more

Mike moved me into my apartment last year. I just moved again and wanted to use him since he was great with my first move. We spoke on the phone and scheduled a date weeks before my move. I texted him 3 days before the move to confirm. He said everything was all set. The night before my move I texted to confirm the time he would show up the next morning- no response. At 8 in the morning of my move date I texted him again....no response. I called, and at first my calls were ringing and then going to VM....after about the 3rd call it was just ringing once and being forward to VM. Tried off my friends phone with the same result...worked at first then just ringing once and being forward. He blocked our numbers. I was left with my landlord expecting me out of that apartment that day, every single possession of mine packed- except for the clothes I was wearing. I understand things happen....but he could have sent a message telling me the date wasn't going to work....SOMETHING...ANYTHING! Instead he left me high and dry on a date we agreed on weeks in advance. Thanks Big Mike! read more

We hired "Big" Mike and one of his guys. They were great. They were in for a big job as we were moving stuff out of our parents house to get rid of things and make room so our parents could have a easier time moving. Mike and his guy were friendly, helpful and even after loading the truck up they stayed and hauled out bags and boxes of things. They were early to show up and we even had them come back as they loaded things in their truck so quickly. That truck was full. We recomment these guys and are hiring them again to do a job this week to do the moving of the things my parents will be taking with them to their new home. Thank you Mike. read more

Great price, prompt service. I had to have a piano moved on short notice and he managed to fit us into his schedule. Will definitely be calling again whenever we need something moved. Thanks guys. read more

I used Big Mike's service for a move and removal of an old wooden shed, everything went great would highly recommend!

If everyone were as dependable, responsive, fast, and nice as these guys, there would be world peace and no hunger. I can't say enough good things. They make you want to come up with more stuff to drag away just to have them back. Not only on time, but early. Highest recommendation! read more

This was my first time hiring movers and I was absolutely thrilled with how well everything went. The movers arrived a few minutes early, introduced themselves, were kind and courteous every step of the way. They moved our one bedroom apartment with lots of heavy furniture in less than 2.5 hours, which included perhaps most impressively hauling two large sofas onto the third story balcony. They were incredibly careful with everything and put boxes in the rooms where they needed to go. The price was also the cheapest I could find and a flat rate so I knew exactly what I was spending. Very, very pleased! read more

We used Big Mikes in 2012 and again on 7/31/14. They were professional, on time, courteous and worked very hard on a hot summer day. The moved us from a two bedroom house with basement to a two bedroom townhouse in less than 4 hours. They were very respectful of our belongs and took extra care with our larger furniture, washer/dryer and electronics. Mike is very personable and that made what should have been a tense day relaxing. We have recommended Mike's to two friends that are planning a move in the near future. We would definitely hire them a third time if needed. read more

Thank you Big Mike and Kevin - saved my butt for sure. Was moving from a third story apartment and did not realize just how hard this would be, so on the third day I threw the towel in, couldn't do the stairs anymore. Mike and Kevin showed up the next day, which I thought was great on such short notice. Finished moving me in four hours, just like they said they would. They couldn't have been nicer. Made my day - that's what they did. I will recommend you to anyone and everyone!! read more

I hired Big Mike to help me move from East Providence to Providence. I was very satisfied with their services. I called them the day of my move. They agree to help me move. They were on time, very cordial and hard workers. Nothing was broken. I will definitely recommend hiring big Mike and his team read more
