Booking a Stress-Free Moving Day
We make booking your move simple and stress-free, whether you’re planning to relocate during the busy peak season or the quieter off-peak months. We understand that timing is key, and we’re here to guide you through the process every step of the way. Here’s how our moving process works:
Initial Consultation
Reach out to us via phone or our website for a free consultation. We’ll discuss your moving details, including your desired date, the size of your move and any special requirements. This helps us determine the best approach to suit your needs.
Receive a Free Estimate
Based on the information you provide, we’ll offer a transparent, no-obligation estimate. Our team takes into account the distance, volume and nature of your belongings and any additional services you might need, such as packing or unpacking.
Schedule Your Move
Once you’re happy with the estimate, we’ll confirm your moving date. During peak season (typically May through September), booking in advance is highly recommended, as availability can be limited. In off-peak months (October through April), you may have more flexibility with scheduling.
Confirm Details
A few days before your move, we’ll touch base to confirm all details and ensure everything is in order.
Moving Day
On moving day, our professional team of New York City movers will arrive on time, ready to carefully and efficiently handle your move.
No matter when you plan to move, Big John’s Moving is committed to providing exceptional service, making your experience seamless and stress-free. Book early for peak season to secure all the help you need!
