Oakland's Highest Rated MOVING COMPANY
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.
Claudia Harrison
Excellent experience with Big Family Movers - I highly recommend. Everyone was very courteous and efficient. Cost came in lower than anticipated, nothing damaged and everything put exactly right. I'm very grateful for an affordable, stress-free move, and the easy company of the staff.

Big Family Movers are great. We’ve used them for multiple moves and the team is always fast, friendly, thoughtful, attentive and caring. The owner Noah cares about their work product and his team, and you can see it carry through the way they manage a move. Highly recommend!
Eric Perko
We’ve used this moving company twice now. Eric, Matthew, Anthony, and Victor were the absolute best! We’ve never been more impressed by a moving crew before. SO professional, kind, and really cared about our belongings. They really knocked it out of the park 👏🏻
Jamie Tanner
The Big Family moving team that assisted us was professional, kind, respectful, and efficient. They took care to ensure none of our furniture was even close to being scratched, let a lone damaged. They were on time and worked hard the entire time with us. We would definitely hire them again. AND, they were able to accommodate us with very short notice at the end of the month of a holiday week! Service is above and beyond in all aspects!

Big Family Movers are terrific!! The handle everything with great care and they are punctual and polite. They treat their customers as they do their friends. I had a BIG studio move, and it went so well that they were done in less time than they had set. All my items were handled as though they were museum quality. For business and home moving jobs they are the very best professionals around.

PACKING SERVICES
We protect your memories.
Packing is more than putting things in boxes. It's making sure that everything you own — from everyday dishes to irreplaceable heirlooms — arrives at your new home exactly as it left.
Big Family Movers offers full professional packing services for residential and commercial customers. Our crew knows how to properly wrap, box, and protect items of all sizes and fragility. Whether you need us to pack a single room or an entire home, we bring the same care and attention to every item we touch.
We once moved a 5' x 6' oil painting — hand-painted by a customer's late father. Before the move, we described exactly how we would protect it. On moving day, we built a custom box for it and transported it safely. That painting was the one thing that really mattered to her. It mattered to us too.
