Movers in Everett, MA
Everett is small and dense, and most of our moves here are short in miles and long on stairs. Plenty of people move into Everett from Chelsea, Somerville or Boston, and plenty move out to Malden or the North Shore. Either way, the truck and the stairs set the pace.

Two-families, shared hallways and the neighbors downstairs
Most of the housing off Broadway and around Everett Square is two- and three-family houses. That means a shared front entrance, a narrow staircase and a neighbor who still needs to get out the door while we work. We pad the railings and keep the hall clear between trips, so the people downstairs can come and go.
Tell us what floor you're on, whether the back porch stairs are an option and if there's anything in a shared basement. Washers and dryers in basements are common here. If yours is coming with you, disconnect it and drain the hoses the day before, or tell us so we know it's still hooked up.
Winter matters here too. Porch stairs on these houses get icy, and the truck sometimes has to stop next to a snowbank. Shovel a path from the door to the street and salt the steps before we arrive. We'll put down floor protection inside, but a clear path outside is the part we can't bring with us.
Newer buildings near the waterfront
Along the Mystic River near Encore Boston Harbor, there's newer apartment housing with elevators and loading areas. Those moves are mostly about the building's schedule. Ask the leasing office about move-in hours and whether you need to reserve the elevator or a loading spot, then send us what they tell you.
Everett doesn't have the citywide September 1 rush the way Allston does, but the end of the month still gets busy, and these buildings often book their elevators in blocks. The earlier you lock in a time, the more choice you get.
If you're moving into a new building with no furniture yet, a short move from a small apartment can be a two-person, few-hour job. We'll tell you if that's the case rather than sending a bigger crew than you need.
Short moves, parking and the hourly rate
Plenty of streets in Everett are narrow with resident parking. Check with the city about any permit or sign rules for your street. We'll look at how long the carry will be, and we'll put that into the estimate.
Because Everett sits right between Route 16, Route 99 and I-93, a move to Malden, Medford or Chelsea is a quick drive, and most of the hours go into loading and unloading. Blankets, pads, dollies and tools come free, and you get a written estimate before moving day.
If you're clearing out old furniture on the way, our junk removal add-on can take it the same day so it doesn't end up on the curb.
Before you move in Everett
- Let the downstairs neighbors know your moving date and time.
- Disconnect and drain the washer the day before if it's coming with you.
- Check with the city about parking rules on your street before moving day.
- Ask your building's leasing office for elevator and loading hours in writing.
- Plan old furniture pickup with the move instead of leaving it on the curb.

Everett moving questions
Do I need a parking permit for a moving truck in Everett?
Rules depend on the street. Tell us both addresses and we will tell you whether you need a permit or signs for the truck, and how much curb space to ask for.
Can you move a washer and dryer out of a basement in Everett?
Yes. Please disconnect them beforehand and drain the hoses. We'll bring them up the basement stairs and secure them in the truck.
Can you take old furniture away during the move?
Yes. Junk removal is one of our add-ons, so we can haul off what isn't coming with you on the same trip.
Leaving or moving to Everett? A rough list is enough for a written price.
