What St. Louis Residents Say About Moving With Big Helpful Gentlemen Moving

From first-time renters to longtime homeowners, our clients trust us to show up prepared, communicate clearly, and handle every item with genuine care.

Denise Calloway

★★★★★

We moved from the Shaw neighborhood to a house out in Kirkwood and couldn't have asked for a smoother day. The crew wrapped everything carefully, handled our narrow staircase without complaints, and had us unloaded well ahead of schedule.

Marcus Webb

★★★★★

Booked a long-distance move from St. Louis to Nashville and the whole process was organized from start to finish. They confirmed pickup the day before, kept me updated on the route, and nothing arrived damaged.

Rachel Thornton

★★★★★

These guys moved us out of a third-floor walk-up in the Soulard area during a cold January morning and didn't skip a beat. Professional, fast, and genuinely careful with our furniture.

James Okafor

★★★★

Very solid experience overall. The movers were efficient and respectful, and the final cost matched the estimate exactly. I'll definitely use them again when we move into our permanent home next year.

Sofia Delgado

★★★★★

Moving from a condo in Clayton to a house in Chesterfield went better than expected. The team disassembled our bed frames and dining table without being asked, and everything was reassembled perfectly at the new place.

Kevin Hartley

★★★★★

I had a last-minute move after a lease situation changed unexpectedly, and Big Helpful Gentlemen Moving had a crew available the next morning. They were calm, fast, and handled my piano without a scratch. Really saved the day.

Amara Johnson

★★★★★

We used the packing service before our move and it was absolutely worth it. Dishes, mirrors, and glassware all arrived in perfect condition. The team was thorough and worked quickly without being careless.

Tyler Bruns

★★★★★

Our office relocation in downtown St. Louis was handled professionally. They labeled everything by department, moved the server equipment with care, and we were fully operational again by the following morning.

Patricia Nguyen

★★★★

Good experience from start to finish. The crew arrived on time despite a winter weather advisory, which I genuinely appreciated. Everything made it safely and they were easy to work with.

Derrick Coleman

★★★★★

Moving from University City to the St. Charles area involved a lot of awkward furniture and a very full storage unit. The crew figured out the logistics without any fuss and made the whole day feel manageable.

Founder & CEO Big Helpful Gentlemen Moving

Christopher Harrison

From the beginning, the focus was on building something different — a moving company where clients could expect the same high standard on every job, not just the easy ones. That meant investing in crew training, keeping pricing transparent, and treating every home and business with real respect.

That commitment still drives every move today. Whether it’s a studio apartment or a multi-floor office, the goal remains the same: make the process organized, dependable, and a lot less stressful for everyone involved.

Common Questions From St. Louis Movers

Straightforward answers to what people ask us most before booking a local or long-distance move.

We recommend booking one to two weeks out for most local moves. May through September tends to be our busiest stretch, so earlier is better during those months. If your timeline is urgent, call us directly — we often have availability within 24 to 48 hours.

St. Louis winters can bring ice, freezing rain, and snow, and our summers get genuinely hot and humid. We move year-round and prepare for local conditions, but it helps to give us a heads-up if extreme weather is in the forecast so we can plan accordingly and protect your belongings.

We serve all of St. Louis city and county, including Clayton, Kirkwood, Webster Groves, Chesterfield, Florissant, and many other surrounding communities. We also cover St. Charles County and frequently move clients to and from the Metro East area in Illinois, including Belleville and Edwardsville.

Local moves are priced by the hour based on the crew size and truck you choose. The clock starts when the crew arrives and stops when the last item is placed. We give you a written estimate before the job begins so there are no surprises.

Yes, and we encounter this often. Many St. Louis neighborhoods — Tower Grove, Soulard, the Hill, and others — have older construction with tight staircases and doorways. Our crews are experienced with these layouts and come prepared with the right equipment to navigate them safely.

We prefer someone available at both the pickup and drop-off locations to confirm item placement and sign off on the job. If your schedule doesn't allow that, contact us in advance and we can work out the details.

Yes. We work with secure climate-controlled storage facilities in the St. Louis area. Whether you need a few days or several months, we can arrange short-term or long-term storage and deliver directly to your new address when you're ready.

We do. Our long-distance service connects St. Louis to destinations across all 48 contiguous states. You'll receive a dedicated move coordinator, GPS-tracked transport, and a scheduled delivery window from the start.

We cannot move hazardous materials, flammable liquids, live plants, perishable food, or ammunition. If you're unsure whether a specific item qualifies, reach out before moving day and we'll let you know.

Most local moves carry a two-hour minimum. The exact minimum depends on crew size and distance. Your coordinator will confirm this when you book so you know exactly what to expect.

We use floor runners, door jamb protectors, and padded blankets on all furniture. Our crews are trained to move carefully in tight spaces and take extra precautions in homes with hardwood flooring, which is common throughout many St. Louis neighborhoods.

Report any issue within 48 hours and we'll open a claim right away. We document every item before loading, and most claims are resolved within five to seven business days. We take these situations seriously and work to make them right.
