Our Story

Winston and Rebecca Davis originally grew up in Roanoke but met in Winchester, VA after college. Once starting a family they decided to come back to the Roanoke Valley in May of 2023. They have a 9-month-old little boy named Wyatt and they live in Salem, VA. Rebecca has a background as an artist along with art education while Winston has a background in the moving & storage industry.

Winston started as a mover for one of the largest franchised moving companies in the country while living in Winchester and moved up the ranks to Moving Sales Consultant, Sales Manager and ultimately leaving that company after 4 years to start his own business. In 2020, he founded “MoveUp” – a recruiting agency that services the moving & storage industry all over the US. MoveUp is the #1 recruiting firm for the industry and Winston regularly speaks at major industry events across the country.

After moving back to the Roanoke Valley, Winston & Rebecca could immediately tell there was not a hometown favorite for moving that led with a local brand. Between Rebecca’s desire to create a local brand with meaning and Winston’s deep knowledge in the moving industry they knew it would only be a matter of time before opening Big Lick Moving!

Customer reviews

We received 2 pieces of advertising mail from Big Lick Moving and one of them was a hand written letter to us to support local. We are a military family so our stuff was packed up weeks ago by a contractor of the government BUT had we been given the opportunity to pick our own we would have definitely gone with Big Lick Moving. The hand written letter goes to show how much they value their current and future customers.

Great company and great people! Hard and very efficient workers. Everyone in the company is fabulous to work with. I would especially like to recognize Holden for the many hours we spent together on the phone going over and changing the details of the move over a three month period, and Dylan as supervisor of the moving group and Christian for being the top notch worker of the group! Everyone was fabulous all the way through! Highly recommend Big Lick Moving for all of your moving needs!

Michael and Christian did an excellent job moving me into a new apartment. They were very friendly and communicated their plans and what needed to be done to get going quickly. They worked hard and very fast making the move happen in 1 morning.

My fiancé and I had our belongings shipped from Houston in a pod and were looking for a moving company to help us get our stuff from the facility into our 3rd story apartment downtown. Big Lick Moving came highly recommended by several locals and we see why! Michael and Chris were extremely friendly, gentle, and fast! Will absolutely recommend this company, they’re the best movers we’ve ever used!
