Company information

Since 1979, Big Apple Moving has built a solid reputation helping New Yorkers tackle their relocations with less stress and hassle. What sets them apart from other moving companies is their straightforward approach to pricing - they tell you upfront what everything costs, so there aren't any surprise charges showing up later. Their crew handles all kinds of moves, whether someone's switching apartments across town or a business needs to relocate their entire office. The team takes care of packing everything from delicate electronics to heavy furniture, and they actually include this service in their base price rather than tacking on extra fees. Over the years, they've earned an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and solid reviews on Yelp, which speaks to how they treat their customers. They don't just move boxes either - the company also offers storage space when people need it, helps put furniture back together, and can even haul away unwanted items. Their movers know the city well and understand that every relocation comes with its own challenges, so they work to make the whole process go smoothly from start to finish.
