Big Daddys Moving LLC

First, I would like to say that each person I talked to was polite, and the movers arrived on time. However, the time it took seemed extraordinarily long. The two men sent to move furnishings from the 3 bedroom multiple story apartment to a 3 bedroom ranch style house were very polite, but it took 4 hours to move the boxes and furnishings - NO APPLIANCES- to the new house. The movers took a load to the van, lowered the dock, placed the items on the loading dock, raised the dock, placed the items in the van, lowered the dock, and returned for the next load. I felt they could stage many more items on the dock and it would have taken much less time. I called Rex and he felt the time used was on track. I, unfortunately, disagree. We have been involved in many moves, but this one took the most time for number of items moved of any move we've been involved in.

They showed up right on time and everyone introduced themselves to me and my wife. Each of them was really nice and courteous and took good care of moving items from one home to another. We moved from a 2000 sq.ft really packed house so it took 5 of the Big Daddys guys all day. During the move while maneuvering the truck through the back alley one of the truck tires went over our neighbor?s grass on couple of places, no big deal, it is back alley any way and outside of their fence but the neighbor?s wife was pretty adamant that we fix the tire marks. I communicated that to the owner of Big Daddys mover and he said he would take care of it and he did. Couple of days later someone showed up and fixed the areas of the tire marks on grass. I will highly recommend these guys and hopefully they will keep their service level as it is going forward.

My wife and I have moved several times (too many times!), so we have a ton of experience with movers. I can say hands-down that Big Daddy's Moving was far and away the best group of movers we've ever had. The crew was very polite and friendly, took extreme care to avoid any dings and dents that inevitably happen during a move and worked their butts off for almost 12 hours in the Texas summer heat. Very satisfied, to say the least, and would highly recommend them to anyone moving in the DFW area.

The guys (3 of them) were very fast and took great care of all of our items to be moved. They were also very friendly and professional.

Bottom line; I ended up moving a lot of my belongings myself. They were astoundingly up front and nonchalant about telling me and my wife very direcly that they were not going to fix their mistakes, with the exception of Rex, the owner, and the girl who answers the phone. For context purposes; I am recently married, and my new wife and I were moving-in together to a new apartment. We were moving the contents of my apartment in Arlington and her apartment in Grand Prairie to a new third apartment. They arrived on time at the first apartment with a large truck, very quickly and effeciently took out what I believed was everything, then left for the second apartment. At this poitn I was very pleased. However, I did a walk-through of the apartment, and found that most of an entire room had not been moved, including a closet full of clothes, two dressers, and other misc items. I called the movers and told them they had missed the room, and they stated they were not going to come back for it, because they were already in Arlington, and that I should have told them they had missed it earlier. This was very upsetting, as they made a point in the intital hiring process to say they would stay until the last item was moved, no matter what. I also feel very strongly that it is the responsibility of the movers to make sure they get every room. When I am paying someone, I don't expect that I have to point out the basic elements of their job to them in order to get those aspects completed. In this case, I don't see it as going above and beyond to stick your head in a room to see if all of the contents have been taken when you are getting paid $125 hr to move all the items in a location. I ended up having to load up these items in my car to take back to the new apartment, a 20 minute drive each way, and it took four extra trips each way (8 total) to do so. That was a lot of time, energy, and gas to waste. I was baffled and infuriated to find the same thing happened at the next apartment, which was exceptionally irritating and hard to explain because the new apartment was only 150 feet from new one. (Same complex, same parking lot). As I was driving back and forth picking up the stuff they missed, they moved the second apartment to the new one. After a few hours my wife called to tell me that they were getting their things together to leave, but the kitchen, two closets, and our laundry room had not been moved. I called the movers to tell them they needed to move all the rooms, and the lead guy, Ray, said they were already finished, and that was all they were going to do. They told me it was my fault, because I wasn't in the apartment to tell them what to take. This made me angry because 1) my wife was there to tell them (and did!) 2) The only reason I wasn't there was because I was finishing the job they were supposed to do, and 3) Again, I can't fathom why they didn't believe it was their job to make sure everything in the place was moved, when that is exactly what they were being paid to do. I would like to reiterate that this time it would not require them to drive back to the orignial apartment, it was in the same place, and they still wouldn't do it! It would only take them actually walking across the parking lot do finish the job. My wife was uncomfortable trying to get them to walk back over and finish when they so clearly didn't want to, so I had to accept it. I drove back from the first apartment with the last load, and when I got there Ray and his crew were still there, waiting for payment. They had been standing there the whole time, and could have already gotten the rest of our things. I talked to Rex, the owner, and he was very apologetic and offered to send out a second crew the next day free of charge to move the rest of the stuff. He was very nice and very eager to make up for the problems. The second crew came and moved some of the things, but, amazingly, they again left the entire kitchen and laundry room. I spent 2 hours that night getting the rest of the stuff they missed. I ended up moving about 50% of my stuff. I recently moved here from Ohio, and didn't know anyone in the area to help with this move, hence the hiring of the company. Overall they are nice, with the exception of Ray, and do a good job for the 50% of the job they actually do, but I was paying for the total move. When I was giving Ray my payment info to pay for the job, he made the comment that he "was sorry, and that he would have gotten the other rooms if he had known about them" . I told him he knew about them now, and he could still at least move the stuff in the nearby apartment, but he wasn't receptive to that. That added a nice little insult to the end of a very unpleasant experience. It felt like Ray was throwing it in my face, because he had every opportunity and ability to do what I was asking, but simply didn't. My original plan was for my wife to coordinate with them while I was at work, but I ended up having to stay home from work all day to make sure things were getting done, and, in the end, most still didn't. I spent at least as many hours moving my stuff as they did, and they got paid a considerable amount. They are much more expensive than other companies that I got quotes from, but they did not do the complete job. Again, they were ( except Ray ) polite and nice, but I wasn't paying someone to be nice, I wanted my stuff moved.

Went Very Well. Great Group Of Guys. Very Nice And Professional.

Excellent service. Three very capable young men. Very polite and professional. Not a bad thing to mention at all

They worked for 12 hours. They were professional, courteous, and hard workers.

Chris and Chris were prompt and professional. Rex had given me an estimate that was spot on. I have antique furniture and it was all handled with care. I have an especially challenging piece - a "knock down" armoire - that had to be taken apart and shrink-wrapped in pieces. There isn't room for it in my new apartment, so they figured out how to maneuver it into one of my apartment closets, along with another trunk that needed to be out of the way. They calculated the best way to do it and were very careful in getting those big pieces into a small space. I hope not to move again in a long time, but when I have to I will call Big Daddy's again.

I know movers as due to work I used to move every 2 to 3 years and they were GREAT!!! They introduced themselves. They were fast and mindful of my walls ( ie they did not scratch the walls as they moved my stuff). They were on time. They got right to work. They were VERY courteous and asked me about placement of everything. They wiped their feet. They moved me without ANYTHING being damaged/broken. LOVED IT!!! I would have paid less BUT I moved a considerable distance away so I paid in travel time from one residence to the other. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!!!!

The quote was within good range of comparable estimates but the quick response and reassurance that they know what they are doing sold me. Rex came to my house to be sure he had a truck large enough and even has a back up plan because the last local mover required two trips. I feel confident everything will go well.

Professional,courteous, careful and respectful of my belongings. A safe, convenient no damage move.

Big Daddy Moving was AWESOME! They were there on time and did a great job. All three guys were friendly and hard working--couldn't of asked for anything more. They also finished the job early therefore costing us less! Would recommend and will use them again.

We are so pleased and very happy to highly recommend Big Daddy's Moving

It was great! Movers were right on time and very nice young men. They got in and got the job done quick. I gave them an extra $20 and told them lunch was on me. So, I actually spent $220 but these guys were so good. The only suggestion I would make is to call around and see what other rates are and see if they will match. I thought $95 per hour with a 2 hour miniumum + 30 minutes lead time was somewhat excessive (but maybe it isn't when you compare). I wanted to find a company that was familiar with the area because it is easy to get turned around with all the construction around Southlake and I needed to get it moved quick and didn't have the time to call around and negotiate. I used my Angie 15% off coupon and just got the job done. I would definitely use this company again but would research more to make sure this was a good rate.

I will definitely be referring Big Daddy's to others!

Excellant, pleasant, professional from the first phone call (which was returned very quickly). I will use them again in April when I move to my new home. Call them

Small job, but its hard to find someone to do the little ones. The two young men were quick, neat, and very careful. Assisted in setting up power strips since its impossible to get to the plugs once the bed is in place, then they helped me get the mattress cover on properly

Our experience was great. Rex was prompt with phone calls and communication. He was very upfront and honest with pricing and the time it would take to complete the job. The crew showed up on time, actually a little early even. All 3 men were very professional and polite. They had to unload our storage room and reload it into the truck which took some extra time but only because the storage unit was not loaded properly by us. The crew took direction very well and were careful with our items. We moved into a new house with hardwood floors and they were very mindful of the freshly painted walls and floors. They worked non-stop the whole time only taking a 30 minute break for lunch. The job was completed to our satisfaction and we would gladly recommend and use this company again.

They arrived on time with 3 men as we requested. They immediately began to take stock of what we had to move and made a plan to get it in their truck efficiently. They then proceeded to get the entire 3 bedroom apartment loaded and on the way in less that 2 hours. They then were courteous in asking which room to deliver each item to in the new apartment as they unloaded. Overall a very quick and pleasant move.

Like so many other Angie's List members, I had a great experience with Big Daddy's Moving. The guys were punctual, professional and worked harder than any other movers I've ever hired. They were extra careful with my things and even took steps to make sure they weren't tracking mud into my apartment. They ended up finishing in far less time than we anticipated and there was no damage to any of my furniture or belongings, another first! I highly recommend Big Daddy's!

Did a great job did not ask for up charges after the moves went the extra mile

Loaded a 20' U-haul truck. Also helped load a car tow dolly. The two gentlemen Chris and William arrived on time ready to work. They were courteous and professional and took great care in protecting our belongings from any damage. The load went smooth and everything was loaded to prevent any movement. All of the space was utilized to maximum efficiency. I will definitely recommend the services of Big Daddy's Moving to all of my friends and would use them in the future for any other moves I may make. Start time was 9 AM and everything was complete by noon.

My son moved from one apartment to another and the guys from Big Daddy's Movers did a great job! It was raining all day but the movers managed to keep everything dry. In addition to moving the furniture and boxes, they took the bed frame apart and set it up in the new apartment. They also packed all the clothes that were hanging in the closets in moving blankets and then hung them in the closet in the new apartment. The move went very smoothly and although it rained quite heavily at times, everything was delivered in perfect condition. The movers not only did a great job but were very pleasant and helpful. Rex and his staff at Big Daddy's are very professional, it is a pleasure doing business with this company!

I had to move the contents of a daughter's apartment into storage for a few months. Because of my schedule, I would not be able to be present during the packing and the move. I contacted Rex, explained the situation, (that I required the contents to be moved to a storage building) and he set up the whole thing. He moved the contents, locked up the storage building and left the key to the lock in my mail box! When it's time to move out of the storage building to the new apartment I'll be calling Rex and BigDaddy's Moving. For service, professionalism, price and customer service, Big Daddys Moving is the ONLY one to call.
