Customer Reviews
Claudia Harrison
Cannot recommend them highly enough! The team of Victor, Erick, Anthony, Pier and Shun were excellent. They were professional, efficient, and so friendly. Rain was forecast for the day of our move and the guys worked hard to pack everything and move it in one day to avoid the rain. We really appreciated their flexibility. And they were very fun to be around during a stressful time. I am very grateful for all they did to ensure a smooth transition.
Brooks Jordan
Loved working with the crew from Big Family, and I’m not just saying that.
Three guys showed up and expertly moved everything from our house into the truck. They just do it smoothly and with care but also quickly. That was the first load.
For the second truck load, they moved everything in our garage we had prepped into the truck very efficiently.
They also took apart our beds and rebuilt them at the new house, which made a huge difference.
What it comes down to is they’re on time, fast, careful, collaborative, solve problems, and just great guys. Hire them and be happy with your move.

Working with Big Family Movers was a fantastic experience from the first call to the end of the job. Noah was responsive and helpful to get us booked and on the right track with packing. Victor, Erick and Pierre showed up on time, were communicative and professional, and worked hard to move our 3 bedroom apartment (with lots of stairs) into a 3 bedroom house in Oakland. I would highly recommend this moving company and especially the crew we had.
