John worked with my husband and I on our out-of-state move. We had about a month to plan a move from Michigan to Virginia, and we found ourselves completely overwhelmed. We settled on a high-rise apartment in Arlington, and it posed two major moving challenges: 1. It was in a crowded area, and 2. The building required you to use a service elevator to move in, and you had to schedule this ahead of time. Every moving company we contacting was extremely expensive, and wanted to charge us extra to set our delivery date. They all said we could expect our stuff within 5-14 days, and we might know the day before. This wouldn't work for us. When we found Big Guy for Hire, and learned that John accompanies you every step of the move, we were relieved.  John and his assistant showed up the day before our move to pack our truck. What had taken us a week to pack was loaded in about an hour. The next day, we left early in the morning for Virginia, and I think John actually ended up leaving before us.  En route, I got a troubling call on my cell phone. The girl from our complex was calling me from her cell phone: the night before our move, Virginia had gotten one of their worst storms on record. There was no power anywhere, we couldn't use the elevator, there was no where for us to park our moving truck, and she didn't know what to tell us. Naturally, I panicked.We immediately called John, who was very calm. After talking in through, the plan was to continue on and assess the situation once we arrived. As we pulled up to our complex, we saw trees down, no one was out, and all the...

John waited as we went in and signed our lease. We were given flashlights, and the promise that IF the power came back on, we would have the elevator all to ourselves. John has a flight home the next day, and we knew our move HAD to happen that day. We waited around for a bit, and as my husband and I were about to book a hotel room ourselves, the lights flickered and the power came back on! We were relieved.The power came on at 6 pm, and John had us moved in by 10 pm. He worked fast, and with great care. In all the chaos, nothing was broken, or even dented. He helped us return our Uhual truck, which was also a relief, seeing as how the traffic lights were still out.During our entire chaotic move, John was calm and professional. We felt safe trusting all of our belonging to him during the drive, and we appreciated his flexibility with everything that happened. He answer all of our questions prompting leading up to the move, and treated our move like it was important to him (unlike the big moving companies that treated us like a number).  We would highly recommend Big Guy for Hire to anyone moving anything anywhere...in state or out....
