BCB Moving Labor Services, LLC

BCB Moving Labor Services is a three-person moving company at 2 Franklin Ct in Malden, run by owner Mbiti Jean Pierre. Its BBB profile records the LLC as started on 9/17/2013 and gives it an A+ grade, though the business is not BBB accredited. The work it lists is residential moving, pre-move consulting and written cost estimates, moving management, crate rental, furniture disassembly and installation, and furniture disposal; Angi files it for both in-state and out-of-state moves. The ratings are good on both platforms it appears on — 4.4 from 19 Google ratings and 4.8 from 50 on Angi, where 86% of raters gave five stars. The written accounts split into two eras. The Angi ones are dated 2015 and 2016 and are unusually detailed: a 2015 customer described three guys and a truck arriving exactly on time for an apartment move, an unbilled extra supervisor, and a free estimate that came in almost exactly right with no hidden fees; another in 2015 wrote that they used the company three times between July 2014 and February 2015 and that crews got furniture up and down narrow staircases without scratching walls. A 2015 reviewer named the movers, Rich and Sam, who wrapped items in plastic and blankets and dismantled and swapped two beds on a hot day. The Google accounts pick the story up later: in 2022 one customer described a Revere-to-Somerville move finished faster than expected, another a tricky piece of furniture manoeuvred up a narrow staircase, and a third said they had used the company for about three moves. The newest written comment on file is from January 2024. Pricing is described as affordable or well below competing quotes in several of these accounts. Three things are worth raising before booking. Truck size comes up twice: a 2015 customer gave three stars because the truck was too small and everything had to be stuffed in, and a 2015 four-star review said the same in milder terms. A 2015 customer who had agreed to pay for a third mover found that mover reassigned an hour into the job and the move finished an hour late — that reviewer still recommended the company but advised getting the details in writing from the manager. And a 2015 customer was asked for cash or a check for the balance despite having a card on file, so confirm accepted payment methods when you book. Sources also disagree on how long the company has been trading: Angi's profile claims 20 years of experience while the BBB record puts the start at 2013 and the tenure at 12 years. For a local Malden or Boston-area residential move — especially a labor-only or stairs-heavy one — this is a well-rated, owner-run option; ask for the estimate, the crew size and the payment terms in writing.
