Brookline: the overnight ban and curb space
Brookline has an overnight on-street parking ban, so a moving truck can't be left on the street overnight. To reserve curb space for the day, you need a moving permit from the town. Apply early and plan the move to start and finish the same day.
Many Brookline apartments are in elevator buildings with move rules. Book the elevator when you book us.
Brookline's apartments around Coolidge Corner and Brookline Village are often older walk-ups or small elevator buildings with tight lobbies. Tell us the floor and the stairs. Moves from Brookline into Boston need the Boston street occupancy permit on that end too.
Quincy and Braintree: condos, two-families and the split
Quincy has elevator condos at Marina Bay and Quincy Center, two-families near the Red Line, and tight shoreline streets in Squantum and Houghs Neck. Braintree is more Capes, ranches and condo complexes near South Shore Plaza.
The I-93 and Route 3 interchange in Braintree backs up at commute hours and on summer Fridays. We set the truck's start time so it isn't sitting there. For street parking in either town, check with the city or town.
Quincy's shore neighborhoods have narrow roads and limited ways in and out, especially in Houghs Neck. Photos of the street help us decide on truck size and the length of the carry.
Dedham and the house moves
Dedham is mostly Colonials, Capes and split-levels with driveways, plus condos near Route 1. A lot of people move here from West Roxbury, Roslindale or Hyde Park. The Boston end of that move often needs a street occupancy permit, applied for online at least 15 days ahead.
Blankets, pads, dollies, straps, tools and basic disassembly and reassembly are included. You get the exact rate in writing before the day.
Split-levels and finished basements are common in Dedham and Braintree, and those half-flights add up over a long day. List the basement room by room on the quote form, and mention a wall-mounted TV if you want it moved and remounted. Route 1, I-93 and Route 128 traffic shapes a lot of these days, so we plan the drive into the start time.
