Essex County, North Shore
Movers in Ipswich, MA
Ipswich is one of the oldest towns in Massachusetts: First Period and colonial houses near the center, farms and long roads out toward Crane Beach, and newer condos and family homes off Route 1 and 1A. Historic homes mean low doorways, steep stairs and furniture that needs a careful plan.

Historic houses, tight stairs
Many houses near downtown and along High Street and East Street were built centuries ago. Stairs are narrow and steep, ceilings are low and doors are small. We measure big pieces against the path, take apart what needs it and pad everything before it moves.
If something came in through a window or before a renovation, tell us. It is better to know before moving day than to find out on the stairs.
Farmhouses and long roads
Out toward Argilla Road and the marshes, homes spread out with barns, sheds and long driveways. Tools, garden equipment and outdoor furniture count too, so put them on the list.
Gas-powered equipment needs to be empty before it goes on the truck. Our crew is based in Swampscott, so North Shore jobs start close to home and the travel time on your estimate stays low.
Downtown, the train and Route 1
Near the commuter rail and Market Street, parking is tight on weekdays. Out on Route 1, condos and newer neighborhoods are easier for the truck. Either way, the written estimate is based on your list and the access at both ends.
Rates start at $129/hr for 2 movers and a truck, with a 3-hour minimum, and travel time counts toward it.
