Every piece.
Handled right.

Filmed on our own jobs around Boston. No stock footage, no actors: that's the two owners doing the work. This is what moving day looks like with us.

Padded before it leaves the room

Dressers, wardrobes and tables get wrapped in thick moving blankets and taped closed right where they stand, before they go near a doorway. Blankets and pads are included in your hourly rate.

Carts and dollies, never dragged

Boxes ride on carts, heavy pieces go on dollies. Elevators, stairs and narrow hallways are everyday work for us, and the crew wears the flame, so you always know who's carrying your things.

Loaded tight and strapped

In the truck everything is stacked tight and strapped to the wall rails, so nothing shifts on the road. What comes off at the other end looks the way it went in.

Taken apart. Put back together.

Beds, tables and other furniture are taken apart for the move and set up again in your new place. The crew brings the tools, and it's all part of the hourly rate.

Why Fire Moving

No smoke.

Who we are

Experienced movers.
Own company.

Both of us spent years moving people around Boston at a big moving company, one of us as a crew leader. That's enough moves to know what customers care about: a bill that matches the estimate, a crew that knows what it's doing, and someone who picks up the phone on moving day.

So we keep it simple. You get a written price built from your actual list. Every crew works the way we do. Furniture gets wrapped before it leaves the room, and if something goes sideways you're talking to an owner, not a call center.

Fire Moving LLC, Greater Boston

That's us. Look for the flame.

These are the two of us who own Fire Moving, on our own jobs. Whoever comes to your move wears the same flame and works the same way.

FAQ

Common
questions.

Didn't find your question? Text us at (781) 815-8016 or put it in the notes of your quote.

How is my price calculated?

Local moves are hourly: crew size times the hours on the job. Long-distance moves are priced on volume and distance. Stairs, elevators and parking can add time, but we never add truck, fuel, stair or long-carry fees. Only special items like a piano, and packing materials, cost extra. We send your price in writing before moving day.

How does travel time work?

Travel time is the drive from our office to your first address, plus the drive from your last address back to our office. It is billed like work time and counts toward the 3-hour minimum. We add travel and work together, and you never pay less than 3 hours. Example: 45 minutes of travel plus 2 hours of work is 2 hours 45 minutes, so you pay the 3-hour minimum. 1 hour of travel plus 2 hours 45 minutes of work is 3 hours 45 minutes. Travel time shows on your written estimate.

What if something gets damaged?

Our moves include basic released-value protection at 60¢ per pound per item. If you want more coverage, ask about full-value protection when you book. If something does get damaged, tell us right away and we'll deal with it directly.

How far ahead should I book?

Two to four weeks is comfortable. The end of the month, summer Saturdays and the days around September 1 go first. Short notice? Send the form anyway and we'll let you know if we can make it.

Do you work weekends?

Yes. We move seven days a week, 7am to 9pm, and we answer calls and texts in the same hours.

Do I need a parking permit for the truck?

In Boston, Cambridge, Somerville and Brookline you usually do, and the signs have to go up a couple of days before the move. In most North Shore towns it depends on the street. Tell us both addresses and we'll tell you what's needed. More in our Boston permit guide.

Do you take beds and furniture apart?

Yes. Taking apart and putting back beds, tables and similar furniture is included. Bring up anything unusual, like a wall unit or a crib, so we bring the right tools.
