Beverly, MA Movers

Beverly runs a long way up the coast. Downtown near Cabot Street and Beverly Depot is apartments and older homes. Out in Beverly Farms and Prides Crossing the houses get bigger, the driveways get longer, and the packing takes real time. We help with both ends. Our crew is based in Swampscott, a short drive down Route 1A.

Bigger houses, longer driveways

A larger home in Beverly Farms or Prides Crossing may sit back from the road on a long or shared driveway. Sometimes the truck can get all the way up. Sometimes it can't, because of a tight turn, low branches or a soft shoulder after rain. We ask about the approach when we quote, and photos from the street help.

Inside, the moves are about volume. Four bedrooms, a finished basement, a garage with tools and bikes. For houses like this a crew of three or four is usually right. Two movers and a truck start from $129/hr for smaller homes and apartments.

Long driveways also mean longer walks for boxes, so we bring enough dollies to keep things rolling. If the house has a side door closer to where the truck stops, tell us. In winter, a shoveled and salted path from the door to the truck saves time and keeps everyone on their feet.

Packing a whole house

Most people underestimate packing. A big kitchen is often the biggest packing job in the house. If you don't want to spend two weekends wrapping dishes, we offer packing as an add-on, and we bring boxes and supplies. You can have us pack everything, or just the kitchen and the fragile pieces while you handle closets and books.

Unpacking is available too. If you are moving into a new place and would rather wake up the next day with the kitchen working, it is worth thinking about. Mention any art, mirrors or glass tables in the quote form so we bring enough material to wrap them properly.

Downtown and the Depot

Closer to the center, Beverly is a different job. Around Cabot Street and Rantoul Street there are apartment buildings and older multi-family houses with narrow stairs. Near Beverly Depot and the commuter rail, parking is tight and street spots go fast. Check with the city about holding curb space.

Route 128 connects the west side of town to Peabody and Danvers, and Route 1A crosses into Salem over the bridge. Both get slow at commute times. The written estimate is based on your inventory and the access at both ends, and it comes before moving day.

Downtown and Ryal Side jobs are usually quick to reach from Route 1A or 128. Out toward Beverly Farms the roads are longer and slower, and we plan the start time with that in mind.

Before you move in Beverly

  • Send a photo of your driveway from the street, especially if it is long or shared.
  • Start packing books and closets yourself and leave the kitchen to us if time is short.
  • Ask about unpacking if you want the kitchen usable on the first night.
  • Plan around Route 1A bridge traffic if you are moving between Beverly and Salem.
  • Near Beverly Depot, check curb space with the city before moving day.
