Movers in Lowell, MA

Lowell is a real city, with converted mill buildings downtown, triple-deckers in Centralville and the Acre, bigger homes in Belvidere and the Highlands, and thousands of UMass Lowell students moving in and out each year. Every one of those is a different kind of move.

Mill lofts downtown

Many downtown apartments are in old mill buildings along the canals. They have freight elevators, long hallways and loading areas with set hours. Ask management for the move-in rules and the elevator schedule, and send them to us before moving day.

Loft layouts mean big open rooms and big furniture. Measure the elevator and door if you are bringing a large sectional.

Triple-deckers and multi-family homes

In Centralville, Pawtucketville, the Acre and Back Central, many homes are two and three-family houses with narrow front stairs and porches out back. A top-floor unit means a lot of stairs, and that is the biggest factor in how many movers we suggest.

Street parking is tight on many of these blocks. Tell us whether there is a driveway, and check with the city about reserving space in front of the house if the street is busy.

Students and UMass Lowell

Around the North and South campuses, leases turn over at the end of summer and in May. Book early for those weeks. Small moves are welcome, and the 3-hour minimum includes travel time.

If you are moving just a few big pieces, like a bed, a desk and a couch, 2 movers and a truck is usually enough.

Rates and what is included

From Swampscott we come out Route 128 and Route 3 or take I-93 to I-495, and Lowell is about as far as our everyday area reaches.

2 movers and a truck from $129/hr, 3 movers from $169/hr, 4 movers from $199/hr. There is a 3-hour minimum, travel time counts toward it, and after that we bill in 15-minute steps. Cash, military and returning customers save 5%.

Blankets, pads, dollies, straps and tools are included, and we take apart and put back together beds and tables. You get the price for your Lowell move in writing before moving day.
