Down the Road Movers assisted me with my interstate move from RI to CT. They were timely, very professional, and kind. I had asked for assistance with also moving furniture not included in the moving estimate to the apartment complex lobby for donation pick up and they were kind enough to help me with that as well. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend. read more

Boxes waiting to be moved...Was what life felt before I hired "Down the Road Movers" I must admit I get a bit nervous moving and moving at the peak of moving season near the end of Aug prices can be tricky...but hiring these movers took all the worry away. They showed up on time. The communication before hand was consistent, and they had the adequate # of folks to move the larger items. They wrapped them for care and unwrapped and set up things like I needed them too. They asked me where to place items and didn't just plop them down randomly. And they moved my items across town within the time frame and I didn't need to pay anything extra outside of what I was quoted as a final payment and my prepaid deposit. Certainly affordable and easy to contact. read more

Down The Road Movers - Boxing waiting to be moved - Movers Near Me

I needed a few heavy things moved from Providence to Plainfield CT, and as you know, moving houses is always miserable. But the guys from DTRM made this move SO enjoyable. They were sweet, professional, and so, so kind. They even made friends with my dog so she wouldn't be as anxious. Everything was wrapped and packed very carefully, even things that I said could be just tossed in the truck. Absolutely nothing was damaged even a little and they went above and beyond when we got to my new house and helped me unload the POD I had gotten (aka they spent an hour unloading something that had taken me 2 weeks to pack by myself). I didn't get any other moving quotes because I love DTRM's mission so much, but I ended up paying way less than I had expected to. Absolutely amazing value and experience. 10/10 read more

Down The Road Movers - 4 hours total to load and unload all of this??? *chefs kiss* - Movers Near Me

My fiancé and I moved last weekend from RI to CT with a stop in between to pick up more furniture. We could not recommend them more highly. They were efficient, responsive, reliable, professional - everything you'd want in a mover and more. I had hired them before for a more local move and they were amazing that time as well. Definitely would hire them again for our next move. read more

This was the most horrible moving experience I've ever had, and the company's owner's (Trent) response afterward made an already awful experience even worse. The two movers arrived late, with one wearing crocs (he wore crocs for the entirety of the move). The first part of the move involved bringing belongings down from an air-conditioned storage building using an elevator and dollies, yet they still took numerous breaks, including a smoke break. I also saw them break one of my pieces of furniture, and when I pointed it out, they completely ignored me. Throughout the move, I repeatedly had to remind them to handle boxes carefully, including boxes clearly marked as fragile in bright red stickers. The situation became even worse when unloading my belongings into my apartment. What was estimated to be a three-hour job was now in its fifth hour, and the movers appeared so physically exhausted that they seemed unable to safely carry my belongings up the stairs. Instead, they were pushing and dragging items (including the fragile boxes) up the stairs. They continued taking multiple breaks, including another smoke break. One mover asked to use my bathroom twice, and after he used it, I found urine on the toilet seat and floor. The same mover was visibly hobbling and struggling physically, to the point that I was genuinely concerned about his safety on the stairs. A third person eventually came intermittently to help, and I ultimately had to help move my own belongings because otherwise I believe the job would have taken even longer. The next morning, while unpacking, I discovered that two of the boxes clearly labeled fragile, containing carefully and individually wrapped handmade ceramic artwork had been dropped or handled so roughly that approximately a dozen pieces were completely shattered. I also documented the furniture damage I had personally witnessed during the move. I estimate that the total damage amounted to around $1,000 dollars. I immediately contacted the owner, Trent, and provided detailed information about the damage. Initially, he told me that the matter was handled through U-Haul and that his company was not responsible. When I pointed out the Moving Help terms indicating that the moving company was responsible for damage caused during the move, he rejected my claims anyway, essentially arguing that his crew was trained to handle items carefully, despite my providing photos and videos showing the contrary. After weeks of emailing Trent, I have received no meaningful resolution, no offer of compensation, and, notably, not even an apology for the loss of belongings that were damaged through negligent handling. I was particularly disappointed because I had been excited to support this company because of its stated social mission. Instead, this experience left me questioning whether that mission is reflected in how workers and customers are actually treated. I was genuinely concerned for the movers' own safety and well-being given how physically exhausted and unprepared they appeared, and I was really disappointed that there has been no transparent or meaningful mechanism for addressing the resulting damage. I would strongly recommend considering these issues before hiring this company. For me, the damage to sentimental belongings was painful enough, the company's refusal to acknowledge what happened or offer a solution made the experience substantially worse. read more

Ryan and Hank from Down The Road Movers helped load a 15 feet rental truck with all our boxes and items from a 864 SF apartment in Providence. They were supposed to arrive at 8:00am, but due to traffic arrived at 8:30am. They brought their own dollies. Our apartment building has an elevator, but my apartment is a little ways from it. The movers took about 3 and 1/2 hours which I think they could have done it faster, but they did a good job in moving and packing the rental truck. None of the items were lost or damaged. Trent with Down The Road Movers was whom I communicated via e-mail and he was always very responsive. At the end of the job, he called me to inquire how the move went and informed me of the payment. Ryan, Hank, and Trent were very personable and friendly. read more

Professional, on time and careful! They took great care of my furniture and were faster than I thought possible.

I loved working with Down the Road Movers, they were extremely responsive, professional, fast, and careful with all of my items. I've lived in Rhode Island my whole life and have hired several different moving companies here, and this is the best moving company I've ever worked with. You also cannot beat the price for the quality of work that was done. They did an amazing job, nothing was left behind or damaged, anything that had to be taken apart was put back together, and they were meticulous with putting it in the right places of my new apartment. They moved furniture, boxes, and every small item in between from 3 different floors of my old space, and were so kind and helpful doing everything at the same time. They were also very patient with me because when we got to the new space, I did not know where I wanted to put everything just yet. Moving can be so stressful, but they made the experience so smooth and fun even!! read more

All the things that went wrong: Timeliness (hours late), not packing carefully, and not giving credit/refund for items they destroyed. TV destroyed, end tables chipped, non- removable marks on leather furniture. They left quickly and then I saw the aftermath. Gaslighted, ignored, claimed they would contact their insurer...similar stories others have reported. Shame on them. It's so sad to see how they keep doing this to others. BBB, FMCSA, AG...it's time. read more

The movers were very nice and showed up on time but they were not professional movers. They did a good job moving everything but unfortunately did some serious damage to the stairwell of my building amounting to 675 dollars of damage to the walls and the stairs. When I contacted them to cover this cost they said it was too far from the move in date (about two weeks) and "couldn't prove" they had done the damage to the stairs. They gave me 220 dollars but I was left responsible for the almost 500 dollars left. This negated any saving I had from hiring them and now I wish I had hired professional movers. read more

Booked a move-in 2 weeks in advance. Was supposed to get a call the day before and day-of. Never received a call. No one would answer the phone. No reply to text or email. Don't try to save a few bucks booking this company. I booked because I like their mission and background, but no mission statement or cost savings is worth being left high and dry on moving day with radio silence from "professional movers". read more

I had a great experience with Down the Road Movers last week and will be using them again for other projects I need. These guys moved my mom from Providence to the coast- we were so nervous but they showed up timely, professional, without stress or concern and most importantly, with good vibes! My mom loved them and their great personalities and laughter while they worked put her at ease immediately! They assessed the job and worked together to plan the move and had the job done hours faster than I had estimated. Everything was loaded carefully, and loaded in to the new house precisely. The quote was so reasonable too. I will be using them to finish my project for some junk removal and landscaping jobs as well to make final touches to the old property. So glad I came across this company. 10 stars! Thanks guys. read more

The team was efficient, careful, professional, and fun to work with! They finished my move in less time (and for less money than quoted). They did a great job moving my belongings into storage and I am rehiring them to move everything into the new house. I have recommended them to others since then! Very happy with their work! read more

These guys are amazing so quick so reliable very professional and super nice. Best price around too! 10/10

We've now used Down the Road Movers for two different moves, about two years apart, and they are fabulous. For our most recent move, Damien and Kurt were incredibly careful while moving our larger belongings. They were also very speedy, and smart about packing up the truck. The company was also flexible when we switched our day and time due to some impending rain. Will use again! read more

I cannot recommend Down the Road Movers enough! I had a move at the end of May, and was super stressed about hiring movers because of how costly they can be and with how much stuff I have, not to mention a third floor walkup to second floor walkup. I was checking out different moving companies and saw Down the Road Movers recommended online. I reached out and when they told me the estimate, I couldn't believe it. I went and booked with them immediately! During the day of the move, there were two movers who helped with my stuff and they were super nice and professional. My dad who was visiting was even talking sports with them! I have a lot of stuff and they wrapped my furniture and were careful with all of it. All in all, I love their mission, their price, their professionalism, and their courtesy. If I ever need to move again in the area, I would not hesitate to book with Down the Road Movers again. And I will never stop recommending them! read more

Down The Road Movers - Movers Near Me

See all

No call no showed on move in day. Had to pay for a uhaul for an extra day and get emergency back up movers the next day at a premium during 4th of July weekend. Thanks a lot! read more

I loved my experience working with DTR movers! They were by far the most affordable option in the market, and also provided a high level of customer service, care, speed and professionalism. They effortlessly moved us from a 2 bedroom apartment to a 3 bedroom, 2 story home across the state. They were done in record time, and were so pleasant to work with! We've since used them for a workspace move as well as a family member's move while they were getting some construction done on their home. Can't recommend this team highly enough! read more

Down the Road is easily the best moving company I've ever used. The movers were efficient, friendly, and very careful. They really helped my move go smoothly and with as little stress as possible. Good price too. Couldn't recommend them enough. read more

Literally the absolute best!!! I've used them twice, one an in city move, and recently for out of state move. They are incredibly communicative, efficient, and fairly priced. Also, super super nice people! I have recommended them to everyone. Call them today!!! read more

Genesis, Eddy and Josh were phenomenal. I had a 2nd floor move to a 3rd floor move (no elevators) and they each maintained an incredibly friendly demeanor despite the difficult move. I had no damage to any of my items, and the team were more than happy to help with breaking down larger pieces of furniture (dresser, dining table) and help with re-assembly at the new place. Overall I was incredibly impressed and will absolutely use DTR again - and I will request Genesis, Eddy, and Josh specifically. Great price, great mission, great guys, great business. Support local, support small - go with DTR. read more

Wow! This was my absolute best moving experience hands down thanks to the incredible communication and efficiency of down the road movers. Not only were they fast, friendly, and professional but the rates were more affordable than any others we shopped around for. Will absolutely be recommending and using for future moves! Thanks Down the Road! read more

I am never going to move without DTR again!!! They moved us from a fully furnished 2nd floor 3 bedroom with a double parlor to a 1st floor 2 bedroom within 3 1/2 hours. Even though on the morning of our planned date it started pouring rain, they still showed up in the uhaul on the exact time they said they would. They were the most affordable movers in the area, and I was shocked that this included the disassembly and reassembly of 2 ikea bed frames and a couch. I was so worried about taking apart my bed frames because one alone took me 8 hours to build and the wood is easily breakable, but they took both of them apart and put them back together within 45 minutes. It has been about 6 months and they are still perfectly holding. :) They also moved my 75 inch tv down multiple flights of stairs and there was not a single scratch. they made sure nothing was damaged in the rain, even my electronics. I constantly recommend them to our friends, and along with their mission for the community, you cannot get a better deal anywhere. They did all of this in one go, and not a single scratch on any of my things. As I said before, I will never move without them again. read more

Based on our particular experience, I'd say this a great moving company for those without a lot of expensive and delicate items. The movers were friendly, pleasant, upfront, hard-working, and willing to go above and beyond. They seem to be able to handle cross-state and large moves. The price was very 'competitive,' as is said. (Albeit, per post-pandemic inflation, which seems to have affected most things, moving costs have trebled!) Only thing is that the movers didn't seem especially experienced and well-versed in the ins and outs of logistics, or bring the kind of equipment--ample moving blankets and pads, straps, hand trucks, etc--that a high level moving company would, and therefore I'd be hesitant to entrust them with a move involving more than a small number of unwieldy, precious, must-not-scratch and must-not-dirty items. Maybe just our experience. But generally good, well-meaning, helpful movers, as the other reviews attest. read more

Don't even bother looking for another moving company, these guys are the best in the tristate area. I hired them for my move from PVD to EG and from start to finish it was so easy. Trent was very thorough answering all my questions and communicated everything I needed to know. The staff that helped me on my move were so friendly and kind, they handled all my belongings with care. I cannot recommend this company enough. Quick responses, extremely reasonable prices and quality wprk. If you're looking to move DTRM should be your first choice! read more

We cannot recommend Down The Road movers enough - they moved our three bedroom home into a new place an hour away in record time and with everything in pristine condition from start to finish - all in the pouring rain. Our mirrors (which they packed for us), lamps, glasses, everything came through without a scratch. Highly efficient, careful and considerate professionals from start to finish - from scheduling the move to completing the job, we couldn't have asked for better communication or a better service. Our movers talked about how they liked to move things like it were their own and that level of care was easily apparent the entire time. And on top of this they were by far the most affordable moving service we came across. We are so grateful to this company and would recommend them to everyone. read more

Down The Road Movers - This is the size of the U-Haul they brought to move everything and they got through it all very efficiently - Movers Near Me

Hands down the BEST moving experience I've had! I used Down the Road Movers for a local move last month. I sent in an email and got a rapid response from Trent. He gave me a very clear quote, honestly the best price I've ever gotten. We exchanged emails and Trent was incredibly clear and professional. I received a reminder/confirmation before the move and got a text message from the movers when they were on their way. Lenny and Genesis were extremely punctual, and professional, and took great care of our items. They were done emptying a 3-story 2 bedroom condo and unloading all our items into their appropriate rooms at 4 4 bedroom, 2-story house in two hours flat! I am incredibly impressed by the amount of work Lenny and Genesis put in. If I could write them each individual 5-star reviews I would! The payment was a breeze and it actually ended up being less than the quote since the guys wasted no time. TLDR; the best company I've ever used. I recommend them to anyone who needs a hand for their next move. read more

Down the road movers was the most affordable and efficient moving experience I've ever had! We had a longer distance move (roughly 60 miles) moving a 1 bedroom apartment from storage and it was all done in 2.5 hours. The guys showed up on time, were professional and friendly, moved so efficiently and quickly, and all our furniture is in perfect condition. Not only was the service great but it was also the most affordable price point I've ever had for a one bedroom move. Will definitely use down the road movers again! read more

Best moving/junk removal experience I've had! They're on time, efficient, friendly, affordable, and accommodating. Cant recommend them enough. read more

Life savers! Had to move my business inventory and Down the Road Movers really came through. On time, professional, careful, and neat. Plus, when it became clear I had underestimated the job, they brought in last minute move movers at the same rate. They are flexible and open to doing other odd jobs, so I will probably be hiring them for other things at home. Really nice people who are strong and hard-working. What else do you want with your movers? Highly recommended by this small business owner. read more

It's been 3 weeks since our move and we are still talking about how we couldn't have done it without Down The Road Movers. At the time of the move I was 6 months pregnant, we have a toddler and it would've been too difficult for my husband to move all of our things in his own. They were super accommodating and understanding. The dissemble and reassemble service was so crucial for us. When we got to the new place they placed everything were we wanted and always asked for what we wanted/needed as they unloaded. I must mention that the move was supposed to be done in 3 hours but took about 6.5 and they were so patient and supportive! Cannot recommend them enough. Shoutout to Genesis and Larry!!!! The best movers! read more

This was my fifth move in ten years, and Down the Road Movers made it the most painless and stress-free move to date. They were prompt, efficient, and friendly, and they moved me into a third-floor walk-up apartment with pretty narrow stairs impressively quickly, staying cheerful and upbeat the entire time. I've recommended them to everyone I know and will 100% hire them again in the future. 10/10, no notes! read more

wish I could give a good review for a company that claims to be community driven but unless you want the risk of your items being damaged and never being fixed spend the money to go with a reputable company. i hired this company back in June of 2023 and now I am out of a 2k tv because the movers broke my tv. now I understand mistakes happen so I informed the manager immediately while the movers were still unloading and was told an insurance claim would be filed, after being ignored for months in November I was told they thought this was handled even though I had sent hundreds of messages and calls. i was then informed an additional claim would be put in but both times no claim number could be provided. now we're in January 2024 and still being ignored. I have waited 6 months to leave any reviews and reach out to anyone to provide the company sufficient time to redeem themselves for this mistake. but due to the disregard of their clients I will never use this company again and will be taking this issue to a further level. so much for a COMMUNITY company. they are criminals and always will be. read more
