R&I Moving and Home Care is a Lawrence mover that people hire for the awkward furniture jobs — a bed frame that has to come apart, a dining set bought off Facebook Marketplace, an apartment's worth of belongings headed to a new home. On Thumbtack it carries 4.8 stars from 398 ratings, and the platform lists it as a Top Pro every year from 2020 through 2025. The most detailed account is a June 2025 Thumbtack review: a three-person crew took apart a motorized king bed frame, used straps to lift it and carried it from a three-season porch to a downstairs bedroom, then moved two cabinets down to the garage. The customer said the price was less than half what another company had charged for the same bed — a company that had dropped it and gouged the kitchen floor. Earlier that month, another Thumbtack customer who needed a dining set out of a seller's house by the weekend said R&I was responsive, on time, gave the best of several quotes and measured the doorways before bringing the furniture in. The most recent review, from June 2026, says the crew protected the furniture and took their time. A December 2025 customer said the crew was communicative and handled their things with care while moving an apartment into a new home. Angi reviews from August 2020 describe careful furniture moves, pieces disassembled as needed, on-time arrival and reasonable pricing. The business also does cleaning: HomeAdvisor lists one-time interior house cleaning, and a May 2018 HomeAdvisor customer said the crew worked until 8 PM to finish in one day. One booking condition comes straight from the company's Thumbtack profile — a three-hour minimum charge.

They did an excellent job moving our apartment into our new home. They were efficient, communicative and handled our things with care.
Thanks so much R&I for helping me with my furniture move. I appreciate how quickly and professionally you worked and would definitely reach out again! 10/10
All 3 men were very professional, knew exactly how to disassemble a few pieces of my motorized king bed frame, gilded it in half, used straps to lift it off the floor & move it from my 3 season porch to my downstairs bedroom. They also moved 2 other furniture cabinets from my 3 season porch down to my garage. They worked quickly & efficiently. Other companies (I hired another company to move the bed frame, etc in to the 3 season porch before starting renovations). They did not even try to remove a few parts of the frame so they could fold it, just picked it up, ended dropping it & scraping it across the kitchen floor, leaving a long gouge. Lucky for them, that’s the one floor I was replacing. And the price difference was huge! I paid less than half to move it back into my house. These guys get an A+++
found R&I Moving and Home care via Thumbtack when I needed to find a local mover to help move a kitchen dining set I purchased from Facebook Marketplace. The sellers needed it out of the house by the weekend because they were in the process of moving out of state. R&I Moving was very responsive and had the best price compared to other quotes I got for the same task. They were able to accommodate the quick turnaround, and were on time. I appreciated how thoughtful they were in measuring the doorways to find the best way to get the furniture into the house. I would absolutely use them again. Overall, I highly recommend their services!
