Description of Work: The owner's intentions of this start-up are good. Everyone deserves the opportunity to chase their dreams. My experience with Big Move Va, unfortunately, wasn't the best. I ended up spending an additional 70% in funds to correct critical issues (e.g. broken, unusable furniture) that resulted from the move. I'm quite thankful to Quality Moving Services, Vincent Tucker owner, and a patient furniture salesman for their respective roles in helping me resolve such an unfortunate incident.

Movers were on time. Worked with me to stay on budget. Kept me calm, and trust me, that is no easy feat. I will definitely use Big Move VA, for all my future moving needs.
Description of Work: Big Move VA, helped me move from my storage unit to my new apartment and I can't say enough how wonderful they were to work with. The owner offered very reasonable rates and was able to complete the move with no hidden or additional costs. She and her staff were professional and courteous and worked efficiently. Nothing was broken and they wetter great about putting the stuff wherever I wanted it out. Fabulous company and I will definitely refer them to friends and family as well as use them for all my future moving needs.

Did not use them - they do not do work in my area (city of Richmond).
Description of Work: Unfortunately, this vendor does not provide services in my area - didn't realize this until after the purchase. Highly disappointed.

Movers polite, respectful of property, very skilled in compactly loading the items moved into the trailer and then into the storage facility. They were late arriving but owner did notify me by telephone that they were running late. The owner also was not able to get as large a vehicle as had planned so movers took more time to load so everything could fit in one trip.
Description of Work: Move furniture and appliances from house to storage facility. I packed the boxes and bubble wrapped--they just needed to move what I had packed.

Response from Big Move VA
[Member Name Removed] lives in Richmond we did the move and after the walk threw everything was good. The only thing is the headboard that the screws was stripped by the original installers. We tried everything but around the headboard was fabric. I then told her that we would come back without extra charge and see if we can try get the headboard taken care of. We did it is a 3 hr. Tot for trip. [Member Name Removed] wasn't there the second trip but her mom was and after bring more equipment and but other from Lowes we couldn't get it apart without damaging the fabric around the headboard and her mom's said she agreed. She would let her daughter know. We did everything and went out of our way but couldn't do it without damage to the fabric around the headboard.

I don't understand why she would set up the move and then not show. When I called, she NEVER answered the phone. If they can't do the job, tell me and let me find someone else. The disrupted lives were inexcusable . Finding someone on short notice was really difficult. Before booking with Big Move originally I looked on Angie's List to find reliable movers. The overall review for this company was glowing. All A's. I thought I was in good hands. Our experience could not have been worse with Big Move. I recommend avoiding these people at all costs if you need reliable service!
Description of Work: Nothing! They never showed. I called a week before our move from Charlottesville,VA to arrange for help loading a rental truck. Salma, the owner, agreed to provide two men for three hours for $240, and the same arrangement for our destination of Ashburn,VA the following day. I called the day before to confirm the time, she even called me back the night before to confirm the details of the move. However, on Friday she NEVER came, NEVER called. I called 6 times leaving voice mail messages but never heard back from her or anyone else from Big Move. Finally at noon I had to find someone else since I had a rental truck that was costing money to rent. One company I called to fill in wasn't surprised. I had been her tenth call in the past few months complaining about Big Move and wanting help. I finally had good luck with Hire-A-Helper and had Aaron's moving come within three hours and Lucky's Movers on Saturday. They bailed us out after Big Move left us high and dry!

Response from Big Move VA
I am sorry but my partner left message a few times early that week to let you know that we would not able to help with the move. We never got a respond from you. I know looking at my call log that he did leave three messages. Big Move VA is known for their being on time and workmanship. Again I am sorry the situation but we did all the right steps but we didn't get a respond from your side.

They were great. Salima was very responsive and responsible. They came on very short notice, dealt easily with some complicated maneuvers to get the offices moved and were friendly and professional. She was flexible on the price, and her helpers were very good and nice as well. Excellent moving service!
Description of Work: Moved my small office from one place in Charlottesville to another. They also packed most of the office

My partner left three messages to let you know that we would not be doing the move. He left a message five days before your move. We never got a response from you. I checked my call log and he did leave the message. We are known for our workmanship and being on time for each job. I feel like we gave you plenty of time to find another moving company.

It was a very difficult move, but not because of them. They handled it very well. Selma was my go-to person that I definitely trusted. She had a guy with her that stood out, Chai, who was also excellent. I would request them. I would definitely say if you get Selma and Chai you're in good hands.

From the beginning, the contact with Salma (the owner) was great! She suggested since it was a short move, to go with the 16' truck and 3 men instead of 2 men and 26'- because the price difference in the truck would allow me to get the extra man at the same price. That's the kind of thinking I appreciate! And seeing how they were able to maneuver the truck really drove the point home. There was a light rain, so they were running a bit behind, but Salma called and informed me well ahead of time, and said that she'd be onsite to make up for the slight delay. When they arrived, the assessed the situation, then they rigged up a tarp to make sure that nothing was exposed to the elements- another thing that's nice to see when someone is moving your valuables. The move went great- they packed the items with care and were continually moving and hustling- just what you want to see with the movers. But they didn't let speed get in the way of care and quality. They made suggestions when appropriate, and really listened to concerns and adjusted accordingly. I hate to sound like a cheerleader, but there was really nothing negative to add. It was even to the point that the size of the move was miscalculated, and she took the hit and wouldn't accept anything additional- just said to give the men more of a tip if I felt the need- which I did! They were astonishingly personable yet professional all the time, and I appreciated the work of the movers just as much as her leadership. I'd definitely use Big Move VA again! I was skeptical, because I'd not heard of them before, and you really don't know who to trust with your move. I can say that I'm glad to have trusted Salma and Big Move VA, and would (and have) unhesitatingly recommend them to anyone seeking a move.
Description of Work: Moved a 1100 square foot house approximately 1 mile.

The move included boxes, furniture, etc. It went very well. They are very efficient and punctual. The whole team was professional and friendly. They only do state-wide moving in Virginia, so if you are moving within the state I would absolutely recommend them.

They were prompt, efficient and friendly. They were very conscious of the time because they charged by the hour. They cared for our furniture even more than we do. They were very helpful and very professional. They asked me to get another quote or two when I was doing my search for movers because they wanted to make sure they were giving me a good estimate. You can't beat their price.
Description of Work: They moved us locally.

They shrink wrapped all of my furniture plus used heavy duty blankets for extra protection. They even protected my floors with blankets. They offered great ideas as to where to put large items I was not sure of where to put.
Description of Work: They were able to pack all of our belongings and organize our things in our new home. They even cleaned the house we moved out of!
