Mini Moves & More

Mini Moves & More is an Arlington outfit that seems to specialize in the jobs other movers turn down. One crew hauled a heavy sofa bed down a staircase past a gallery wall a homeowner didn't trust her husband and his friends to handle; another, led by a mover named Sam, fit a large wardrobe up a narrow, curved staircase that other companies had called impossible. In a 2023 review, the owner Greg and a colleague named Dave were thanked for driving a family's decades-old wooden model ships — heirlooms being donated to the Mariner's House in the North End — safely to their new home. The scale of the record backs that up: 376 reviews since 2015 across seven sources, a 4.9-star average on both Google (442 ratings) and Angi (88 ratings), and an A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau. The last six months alone brought 81 reviews with not one negative among them. What stands out reading through them is how many customers come back — one family counts this as their fourth move with the company, another had used them three times in fourteen months, several more mention a second or third booking — and how often they name the actual movers (Greg, Dave, Ronnie, James, Pat, CJ) rather than just praising "the crew." Recurring, emotionally loaded jobs get handled with the same care: in a late-2025 review, a daughter described moving her 91-year-old mother into assisted living, with the crew adapting mid-move when an extra stop and a piece of furniture that wouldn't fit up a staircase came up unexpectedly. In a 2023 review, another customer described a complicated two-destination move coordinated while her floors were being sanded. The one real blemish is a June 2025 review describing a small, last-minute move that went sideways on the billing side: only two of the promised three workers showed up, three hours late, and the final invoice added charges for tape, shrink-wrap, a $50 handling fee, and an undisclosed "long carry fee." That's a genuine outlier against a record that otherwise repeatedly praises exactly the opposite — several reviewers specifically call out accurate, no-surprise pricing with no last-minute add-ons. It's worth asking for a fully itemized quote in writing before booking, especially for anything outside a straightforward job. For a move that involves something fragile, awkward, or emotionally difficult — an heirloom, an elderly parent's downsizing, a staircase nothing else will fit through — Mini Moves & More's history is exactly the kind of evidence you'd want to see.
