Big Foot Moving & Storage is an Acton company founded in 2001 by Mike Bavuso, a past president of the Massachusetts Movers Association, and the review history — 44 accounts since 2022 — reads almost uniformly like a company that has figured out the hard parts of moving. Reviewers name Nick Maffeo, the sales consultant, again and again for coordinating quotes and staying in touch through the move, alongside a rotating cast of crew members praised for care and efficiency. The specifics span far beyond a routine local move. Reviewers describe long-distance relocations handled smoothly — Rhode Island to Pasadena, New Hampshire to New York City, a 120-mile move from Massachusetts to Maine, South Dakota to Boston with a week held in storage first — and the company also arranges climate-controlled storage, dumpster rental, and third-party disassembly of large items like a treadmill. Several reviewers are repeat customers: one describes a fourth move with the company, another two separate occasions, another three moves in a few months. A professional move manager and a realtor who works with the company on client referrals both independently vouch for them in their reviews, which carries weight given how many moves each has likely seen. There is one clear break from the pattern: a 2025 review said the crew that showed up did great work, but the sales process overpromised what could actually be delivered on a complex move, and advised getting multiple quotes rather than assuming the lowest bid would hold. It stands alone against dozens of other accounts, but it's specific enough — and about the part of the process a homeowner deals with before ever meeting a mover — to flag directly. Recent activity keeps the pace: five reviews in the past six months, none negative, continuing the same notes about responsive coordination and careful handling of belongings. For anything from a routine local move to a complicated long-distance relocation, this is a company with a long track record of pulling it off — the one thing worth doing, per that lone complaint, is pinning down the scope and price in writing before assuming a quote for a complex job will hold.
“Big Foot Movers!!! Owner is an old coworker of mine. Great guy, great company.”
“Mike and his team just moved my possessions to temporary storage at his snazzy new location in Acton ... There is a good reason I keep coming back to Mike and company.”
Nick as our sales person and Naicy, Bruce, Fernando, Kristian, Grady, and Liam as the moving crew were all fantastic. They were easy to communicate with, on time and did excellent work. Thank you!
We had a great experience with Big Foot Moving. We needed to move out of our house and couldn't move into our new house for a month. We had to use portable storage containers to store our items. Mike from Big Foot came out and was very understanding of our situation and happy to have his team help pack the storage containers. He explained the process and was flexible on when his movers could come out. His pricing was very reasonable. The day before the move, I got a call from the office confirming they would be on site the next day. The day of the move, his crew called when they were on their way and the expected time they would arrive. The crew was excellent! Very careful with everything and careful to not damage the house or the items. They are amazing on how efficiently they can load a container. I highly recommend Big Foot Moving and only wish they covered the area we are moving to so we could use them to help us move into our new house.
We had a wonderful moving experience with Big Foot Moving, and I would highly recommend them! This was a very last-minute move and Nick made it work for us. He was responsive to all of my questions, rushed things through to make it happen, and set us up with a fabulous team of guys. Naicy, Bruce, and Michael were organized, professional, and extremely careful with all of our belongings. It was pouring rain and not a single item got wet! They dropped things off in two different places for us and everything arrived in perfect condition, making the move so easy for us. Nick checked in throughout the day to make sure everything was going well. As I said to him, I can't say enough good about the move - and the guys could not have been nicer or more professional. Thanks Big Foot Moving!
