Correira Brothers' Moving & Storage

Correira Brothers' Moving & Storage is a Providence, Rhode Island company founded in 2009 by brothers Raymond and Jeffrey Correira, running out of multiple Rhode Island locations plus a Fall River, Massachusetts warehouse, and handling residential, commercial and specialty moves — pianos, antiques, safes — plus storage and furniture logistics across Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut. The scale of positive feedback here is hard to miss: a 4.6-star average across 707 Google ratings, an A+ grade with the Better Business Bureau, and 66 reviews in just the past six months with only two negative. Review after review names the actual crew — Miguel, Xavier, Angel, Marco, and dozens of others — for showing up on time, working fast, and handling belongings carefully, a pattern that goes back at least to 2021 and repeats through this August. But a specific, recurring complaint surfaces across several separate years that's worth taking seriously: customers describing a final bill far above what they were quoted. Two reviews from the same week in July 2026 each describe a quote of $2,000–$2,500 turning into a bill over $8,000 once the truck was loaded, and at least three separate reviews — March 2026 and twice in July 2026 — independently use the word "hostage" to describe being told they couldn't get their things back until they paid. A 2021 review goes further, describing movers taking money from the home during a move, and says the owner told the customer that his employees' actions weren't the company's responsibility. A July 2026 review also describes a slow, unresponsive claims process after movers damaged furniture, and a review from the same month notes the company doesn't accept credit cards for interstate moves, requiring a Venmo or Zelle transfer of an over-estimated amount instead. The vast majority of moves clearly go well — of the 66 reviews posted in the past six months, only two are negative — but the billing pattern above is corroborated by multiple, independent, dated accounts across several different years rather than one complainer, which is why it is worth flagging against such a strong overall record. For a standard local or regional move, Correira Brothers' crews have a long, specific track record of doing careful, efficient work. Before booking, get the estimate in writing with a clear explanation of what could change the final price, ask directly how the claims process works if anything is damaged, and confirm the accepted payment method if the move crosses state lines.
