How we handle Packing & Materials
Packing done right is what keeps a move from turning into a pile of chips, and it matters double when boxes have to come down a tight three-decker staircase. We go room by room, mark each box as we seal it, and pad the breakables properly, so nothing rattles and the unpack flies.
A flat rate you get up front, not a clock that keeps running
Most Providence movers start a clock the minute they show up and let it write your bill. Big Mikes does the opposite: Mike gives you one flat rate up front, and it covers the move, the heavy stuff, and any junk we haul off, so the number never climbs while the guys work.
Tell us about it
Run us through the place, the stairs and the street, anything that needs hauling away, and the dates you have in mind, over the phone, by text, or on a quick video walk-through.
Get a flat rate

Book when it works
The quote is free and there is no pressure. You lock it in only when the price and the day both sit right with you.

The Big Mikes promise
On the rare day a Big Mikes job goes wrong, owning it and fixing it is our problem, not yours. You get a firm arrival window, a straight answer when something slips, and a crew that treats your place like their own.
✔ On the dot — the crew hits the window we gave you, and if it ever slides you get a call first.
✔ One flat number — you get it up front and that is the total, no meter and nothing rounded up.
✔ No runaround — if something is off we sort it right there on the spot.
✔ No hidden add-ons — fuel, the stair climb, and hauling the junk are already in the number.

Packing & Materials FAQs
How does the flat rate stay firm?
Mike weighs up what you are truly moving and how awkward the way in is, hands you a single number, and sticks to it. Provided the load lines up with what you described, move day settles on that exact flat rate, no meter and nothing rounded up at the end.
Will you move a piano, a safe, or other heavy stuff?
Yes, and it is baked into your flat rate. Pianos, gun safes, jukeboxes, and other heavyweights go on the correct board with proper straps and padding, wrestled out by guys who have shifted no shortage of them, 300-pound pieces up a staircase included.
How do the floors and walls stay unscuffed?
Runners go down on the floors, the door casings and railings get padded, and the furniture is blanket-wrapped first, so the old place and the new one both come out unmarked, tight three-decker stairwells and all.
Do you move year-round, winter and summer?
Every week of the year. In the winter we sand the steps and load fast so nothing sits out in the cold; in the summer we start early and keep things in the shade. Your date holds whether it is a January cold snap or a humid August afternoon in the city.
How much notice should I give?
A week or two ahead works for most moves, and the ends of months go first. If the crew has an opening we will still take a same-week or next-day job, even a last-minute one, so it never hurts to give Mike a call.
Do you take a deposit?
Just a small refundable hold on your crew and your date, that is all. Everything else is due when the job is finished, and the estimate never costs anything.
Ready for a flat rate you can plan the whole Providence move around?
