Village center and the shore
Around the village and the train station the streets are narrow and parking is close. Near Singing Beach in summer, it gets tighter still. We plan the truck spot ahead and avoid beach traffic when we can.
Along the shore and back roads, homes often sit at the end of long or winding driveways. Send photos of the approach, any low branches and the turn-around, and we will decide where the truck stops.
Larger homes, more care
Bigger houses mean antiques, art, rugs and pieces that are hard to replace. Everything gets padded in blankets before it leaves the room, and we take apart beds and tables that will not fit through doors whole, then put them back together at the new place.
Packing is available as an add-on, from just the kitchen and fragile items to the whole house. Our crew is based in Swampscott, so North Shore jobs start close to home and the travel time on your estimate stays low.
Clear pricing
Hourly rates start at $129/hr for 2 movers and a truck, $169/hr for 3 and $199/hr for 4, with a 3-hour minimum. For a full house we usually suggest 3 or 4 movers, and the written estimate is built from your room-by-room list.
Your first move with us is 5% off, and so is paying cash, serving in the military or moving with us again (one discount per move).
