I was referred to this company by Grace moving. I've had lots of experience with Grace moving and I wish I would have been able to use them but because they weren't available they had introduced me to Big Island movers. They sounded professional it seemed like they had a good setup and I was quoted for a certain rate. I was quoted at $800 and then they told me if it went over the allotted time which was 3 hours and two drivers and also factored in mileage which we had preset they would just charge me the difference. The movers got there just after 8:00 a.m. everything went smoothly we did everything as we had planned. During conversation the gentleman said cash tips would be appreciated which I had no problem with. We got to our end destination which was a storage facility and the unloaded and then they use the iPad to stop the automatic timer So basically they start a timer in the beginning and then they hit the timer at the end. Everything is automated through an iPad I figured this was to keep people honest I thought that seemed to be a good system and I tip the gentleman $120 in cash The end total was $850 because we went just a little bit over the time I made my payment and went about my day this was on saturday. Today memorial Day Monday I get a call from the owner who tells me that the men calculated it wrong but how could that be when everything was automated they hit a timer in the beginning and a timer in the end They called it closing it out Now the owner calls me and says I owe more money. I am blown away and disgusted and have to question everything about this company because if it was automated using timers from beginning to end and everything was pre-planned we did nothing outside of what was agreed to and I gave a nice tip this is what I call bad business Sadly for them this could have been many referrals for the future as I work in an industry where I have to refer movers on a very regular basis. I even took a bunch of cards and told the guys I would put them on my office and refer. read more

Charlie and Fred arrived early and hit the ground running! They were respectful, funny, and hardworking the entire day. They helped pack my storage unit, garage and 2 BR apt, disassemble/ reassemble furniture, relocate us from Salida to Lodi and haul away any furniture we decided not to keep. They kept it high energy all day and were most thoughtful and caring with our items. I enjoyed working with them and would definitely recommend Big Island Movers. read more

Big Island Movers - Movers Near Me - Modesto, California

We just used these movers. We were informed by Joe that it would be $195 per hour. When they finished at about 2 hours we were told it would be $760. We were informed that there was a 4 hour minimum. There was no mention of a 4 hour minimum when we first called and were informed quite briskly by Manuel that Joe should not have said that. Then we were informed that the only payment taken was by check or cash, and they do not take credit cards like their advertising says. Stay away. Jeff & Juliet read more

These men do top notch work. They are extremely family friendly and were genuinely interested in the customer service experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone! You guys rock Big Island!! Thanks again! read more

Couldn't even get a quote. As I was talking to Joe (the owner) I was asked him what his earliest opening was, I never asked him for a specific date and he responded with "well your stupid for not getting movers sooner." I decided to look the other way and continue with the request for a quote. As the conversation continued he asked me to list all the items I needed help with moving. After I listed all of the items in my home he said I forgot the washer and dryer. I said oh, sorry, yes, I have a washer and dryer and then he responded with so you're not telling me the truth. THIS CALL WAS AT 3PM IN THE AFTERNOON, NOT EARLY IN THE MORNING. IT WAS CLEAR I HAD BEEN PACKING ALL DAY AND TO TALK TO A PROSPECTIVE CUSTOMER LIKE THIS IS CRAZY. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THESE JERKS. read more

My grandma was moving into a new apartment and I am now living out of town. I saw Big Island Movers and was impressed with their reviews. Gave them a call and the owner, Jason, was able to squeeze her in last minute. Talked to my grandma after and she had nothing but nice things to say. Thanks for helping out! read more

If you don't want to read a novel: LACK OF COMMUNICATION and UNPROFESSIONAL I tried to do business with them due to their great ratings (and my friend had used them for her move). Despite all of the good ratings, we did not have a good experience with them. We called Joe and he initially answered. We knew he got booked up pretty quickly, so we confirmed his availability for a move that was a month away. He told me to text him the info, which I did. Days go by and I still had no response. We still didn't have an estimate (which over the phone he said he would be able to do, but never confirmed a day to come out). I called a few more times, my husband called, and we left voicemails. So it became apparent that he was avoiding us for some reason. It would have been a lot more professional of Joe or someone from his company to just be straight forward with us instead of leading us to think they would be able to come out and help us. With many moving companies being so busy, especially with the upcoming holidays, I was trying to get ahead and get them booked early (also was giving them plenty of time to respond). Instead I wasted a week with them. read more

Absolutely phenomenal!! Great guys and service! We had a two story house to fill and not only did they do it with ease but great attitudes as well! Thank you! read more

I called Big Island Movers before they opened and left a message. Joe called back to let me know they don't move hot tubs and recommended a company that does. I really appreciate the time he took to let me know. Not many companies have that level professionalism now days. I would definitely call them if I need a moving service in the future. read more

Big Island Movers was able to set up our move date with only about a week's notice. They were very communicative before and throughout the whole process. They did an amazing job of balancing caring for our things, getting things safely in and out of the houses, and also getting things done as quickly as possible. We were very happy with our experience and will use them again! read more

Great to work know with. Confident in choices and packing. They want you to be happy with them

This is the second time we have used Big Island Movers and they were just as great as they were last time. The men are very kind, efficient, and careful. The price they quoted me was better than the three other companies I contacted. They were able to accommodate my moving date and were punctual as well. Definitely a great experience and would use them again in a heart beat. Thank you Big Island Movers!! read more

During our move it was imperative that we used a moving company. The movers arrived early and got to work right away. They also took care with my items and the entire move only lasted about 3 and a half hours. It was a good experience and got us into our new home quickly. read more

I am part of a medical practice and my office was moving locations. We had a tight window to move, with only one weekend to get everything set up for our patients. We needed a moving company to deliver for us and Joe and his team were incredible. They were friendly, efficient, clean, and careful with everything. They finished a two day job in one day which helped us have more time to set up for our patients on Sunday. Can't recommend Big Island Movers more highly. They are excellent and professional! read more

This moving company is really good! Timely, respectful and congenial. They came from Oakdale/Modesto to Foothills above Marysville. On time, checked in and most, they care about your items. Asked how boxes were packed, brought extra, double checked that nothing left in cabinets. Drawers, etc that was breakable. They made sure not to track dirt at either home too. I will use them again for sure read more

Big Island Movers - Moving truck - Movers Near Me - Modesto, California

Big Island Movers with a Big Heart Customer service was great from the first call to the last box moved! Setting an appointment with Joe was a breeze and he was able to fit me right in for estimate for a complete 3 bedroom, 2 bath home move in Stockton. He reached out the week prior to confirm the details and put my mind at ease for such a stressful time in our life. The morning of the move Big Island Movers showed up and took such good care of our family belongings and helped us feel relief so we could concentrate on our animals. I was also happy to support a local small business that had such strong ties to the community. The crew really cared about my family and our treasures. read more

Amazing movers! They do everything for you including packing up. Fast and efficient. Great job guys. And thanks for the t-shirt.

On time, courteous, helpful. Careful with our furniture. Came with two trucks and four energetic men. Delivered to three different storage and home sites. Very reasonable for excellent service. read more

Please note that I would add more than 5 stars if I could. Joe and his men were 1. kind - that goes a long way when you are doing a stressful move. 2. prompt - they were 1/2 hour early! 3. professional - they moved my MIL's 1 bedroom apartment in an hour. They helped by providing wardrobe boxes and shrink wrap. They didn't break or scratch a thing. Gave me an estimate and stuck to it. This move was not gonig to be pleasant, and I called several other Modesto movers who did not want to take it on. I understand - it was going to take all morning and we were headed to the bay area, both things people don't want to do. Joe was so kind to my MIL. He personifies Hawaiian spirit! Mother K. raised a wonderful human, a good businessman, and a great mover. MAHALO, JOE! read more

If you're moving, I would recommend Big Island Movers. Joe is very easy to work with & his guys are great. Their price was reasonable, they were on time, were careful with all our items AND they were pleasant, eager to please and fun. What more can you ask for? They get our thumbs up. Nancy & Willi Gurski read more

This place is awesome. The person I spoke to that made my appointment was pretty much on point with his guess on how long my move would take, he was candid and there were no extra charges. Their prices were better than the 3 other places I called For quotes. On moving day, The guys arrived a bit early and got to work right away. They were super nice and professional and took very good care of my things. I will recommend them to everyone. read more

The best moving company around. Very friendly staff the best they really hustled and got the job done quickly. Would recommend to family and friends. read more

Very professional and courteous employees. They got right to work from the get-go. They kept all questions work related instead of asking too many personal questions and being too chatty like other companies we've hired in the past. They knew exactly how to wrap everything and loaded the items onto the truck without any issues. There was no awkwardness as they were all friendly. They got everything we requested onto the truck and even kept asking if there was more they could load up. Needless to say we will be using them again to get the items out of the storage and into our new home. Thanks again guys. read more

Big Island Movers - Movers Near Me - Modesto, California

Joe and his Team were awesome! Showed up on time ready to rock and roll. We had a two man Team for a 4 bedroom home. It took about 7 hours start to finish. They had all the equipment needed to do the job right and were so friendly and professional. The guys worked quickly and were focused on the work. Not a single scratch and everything was above expectations. I can't recommend them highly enough. I have done many moves, and this was top of the list. Well done! read more

I can't say enough great things about Big Island Movers. I have used them twice, and both experiences couldn't have been better. Big Island Movers moved my family and I out to the Bay Area 4 years ago. The move went seamlessly, and it was everything that I could have hoped for. They were professional, on time and careful with all of our belongings. Recently, we decided to relocate back to the valley and Big Island Movers was my first phone call. I spoke with Joe on the phone and he went over my situation with me. He explained they're hourly rates, the time frame that he believed it would take them to complete the move, and we set up the date over the phone. On moving day, Big Island Movers were right on time and ready to work. The owner, Joe, arrived with two other employees and all three of them went right to work. They assessed the items inside of the house, and began loading the truck immediately. They worked nonstop and had the entire truck loaded in just under three hours. The truck was packed tight, from front to back, and from top to bottom. It was close, but they were able to pack my entire four bedroom house into one truckload. Joe's experience in this business was extremely valuable in getting everything in one trip. His ability to pack the truck wasn't lost on me. It was, most definitely, an art form. The fact that he was able to get all of my belongings in one trip saved me a lot of time and money. When Joe and his crew met me at our new house, once again, they were ready to go right to work. They began unloading the truck, and didn't stop until the job was done. I directed them as to where my items needed to be placed, and they did the rest. Best of all, they were able to move everything I own without so much as a scratch. Joe is a great guy. Professional and honest, and has over 30 years of experience in the moving business. His crew was extremely helpful, courteous, professional, and two of the hardest workers that I have ever seen. Personally, I hate moving. It's always stressful, and it's on the top of my short list of things that I hope to never have to do again. Big Island Movers not only made our move easy, but they were very inexpensive. The fact is, for the quality of their service, their experience in this business, and the price that they charge the consumer, Big Island Movers is only moving company that I will ever use in the future. Thanks Joe. Once again, you and your crew turned a stressful day into a great experience for myself and for my family. Please let your crew know how much we appreciate their hard work, and excellent customer service. read more

I'm a little disappointed with this company. I reached out to Joe and Big Island Movers because of their amazing reviews on Yelp. I received a call back from Joe within the day, and he was nice and personable (which is the reason for the two stars). However, my reason for the two stars is because, I felt like for whatever reason, Joe was just really disinterested in assisting me. I thought they would be my 'go to' since Joe was from Hawaii himself, and would extend some of that kokua when I explained my situation to him. I currently live in Hawaii and have stuff in storage in Modesto. I needed help moving things from a 5x10, to a 10x10 within the same facility. I needed to hire movers because I had a very small window of opportunity to complete the move. I even called weeks in advance, far enough in advance that everywhere I called, had availability for the date I needed. Pretty simple, but.... NOPE! Instead, he gave me a quote that was two and half times the price of what I was being quoted everywhere else, and also said that it would probably be hot that day and that was another reason their prices were a little bit higher. When I explained that I thought the quote was a little high and I had received cheaper quotes, Joe tried to discourage me from booking with other companies because 'they probably weren't insured.' I left it at, 'I'll think about it,' and Joe said that "they would be there if I needed them." Needless to say, I went with someone else. read more

The Big Island Movers were efficient and courteous. However, one of the movers also stole $22,600.00 worth of inherited jewelry from me. Be careful and move your valuables yourself ! Kay read more

Best movers ever! They were recommended by our realtor, and after calling them, I knew they were the company to go with. On the day of the move, 3 guys arrived ready to work - they loaded everything in 2 hours and had it unloaded in another 2.5. When I had called to book them, they thought it would take 7-8 hours, so I was pleasantly surprised with how quick it went. These guys didn't stop for those 5 hours either - they were incredibly nice and pleasant to work with, moved anything we asked them to move to a different location, and made the entire moving experience (which is always stressful) painless. Also, didn't break or scratch a thing! Would recommend them to anyone. read more

We used Joe and his crew to move us out last week. They did an exceptional job and carefully packed our Stickley Furniture. We were very impressed on the level of professionalism and courtesy his team conducted themselves with. We hope to never move again, but if we do Big Island Movers would be our first choice! read more

These guys did a great job moving my house. Our escrow for the place we purchased got extended and they put all of our belongings in our storage unit expertly and then removed them when we had our place. The only issue we came across was that a key broke off in my safe when they were moving it. The owner of the business called me personally and offered to pay for a locksmith to have the key removed and to have a new key made. These guys are top notch and you will not regret using them. read more
