1-star Google reviewLinda S.Edited 4 years ago
I had reserved the 24th of January about 3 weeks out. I had called Mike about 2 weeks prior to make sure we were still on. Mike called the day before on Sunday just to verify, once again said he would be at our place between 8 and 9 a.m. They did not show up at 10:30a.m. my husband calls me to inform me they were not there. By the way I asked for 3 men at 165.00. I called Mike to find out where they were. He said they were 45 minutes out.

This post comes what some may say is too late. I can't speak about what crew he has now, but in 2023 when I moved, items were wrapped well, but STILL some damage to furniture, Xbox controller missing, and now it's come to light that a 4 …

I’m super apologetic at what may have happened on your movie a year ago I would love for you to give me a call so we can resolve your issue. Also maybe there’s a box that your Xbox controller happens to be in and if there is a four-wheel dolly that we accidentally left on our truck due to it…

His crew damaged my $2K TV then denied it. Worst moving experience of my life and I've moved over 30 times. The owner refuses to believe that they damaged it and questioned the value. He also to me that I'd be wasting my time if I tried to sue him because he always wins. We'll see about that! The attached pics don't lie...shows exactly the type of work they do or should I say doesn't do. If you don't value your belongings then by all means give them a call!!!

Big Mike’s crew arrived on time, provided efficient, safe and professional services for our move; protected all our furniture and breakables, although we had not done so; the charge for services was reasonable; next time we will call Big Mike’s for our next move
5-star Google reviewAmanda T.a year ago
Big Mike is great and accommodating. His team came through for clients on short notice. Not many moving companies were responsive due to a last minute, sudden need for moving (which is understandable). We are so thankful for his services and I will definitely refer others for business. Thank you, Mike!

We truly appreciate your kind words, Amanda! It’s wonderful to hear that Big Mike and the team were able to accommodate your last-minute moving needs. Your referrals mean a lot to us, and we’re grateful for your support. Thank you for choosing our services!

5-star Google reviewKevin R.a year ago
We used Big Mike on 3 occassions to move furniture we purchased on Facebook Marketplace. Some of these moves involved multiple pickup locations and large pieces. In all cases, Big Mike's team did an outstanding job. His prices are fair, and his teams are extremely conscientious, hard working, and polite. I can't say enough about Big Mike and I highly recommend him for your moving needs.

5-star Google reviewSharon J.a year ago
We used Big Mike to relocate us to the Kansas City area. Can’t say enough about how professional, polite & hard working they are. Antonio & Camryn are two of the hardest working guys we know. They were willing to do anything & would not let us lift a thing & they put everything in its place before they left. Thank you again !!!!!
