Plum Island moves
Plum Island has one road on and off, narrow streets, sand, and houses raised on pilings with outside stairs. Some lanes are too tight for a big truck to turn around. Send photos of the street and the stairs so we can plan.
Summer weekends bring beach traffic. Weekday moves, or spring and fall dates, are much easier on the island.
Old Town and High Road
Along High Road and the Upper and Lower Green, homes are historic, some of them very old, with steep stairs and low ceilings. We pad furniture and protect door frames, and we take apart pieces that will not make the turn.
Many of these houses have long driveways or carriage barns. Tell us where the truck can park.
Byfield
Byfield, near I-95 and the Governor's Academy campus, has family homes and newer neighborhoods. For a full house we usually suggest 3 or 4 movers, and the estimate is built from your list.
Moving between Newbury and Newburyport, Rowley or West Newbury is local hourly work, with a 3-hour minimum that includes travel time.
Rates and what is included
From Swampscott we drive up Route 1 or I-95, so Newbury is well within our 30-mile area.
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 Newbury move in writing before moving day.
