Downtown and the train

Near the depot and Main Street, condos and apartment buildings are close together and parking is tight. Ask your building about move rules and elevator use, and tell us in the quote form.

On residential streets, older homes have narrow stairs and small closets. We measure big pieces and take apart what needs it.

Moving out from the city

Many Reading moves start in a city apartment with a walk-up and a permit. We can load in the city and unload in Reading the same day, and we will tell you what the city end needs.

Our crew is based in Swampscott, so North Shore jobs start close to home and the travel time on your estimate stays low.

Rates and what is included

2 movers and a truck from $129/hr, 3 movers from $169/hr, 4 movers from $199/hr, with a 3-hour minimum, and travel time counts toward it.

Blankets, pads, dollies, straps and tools are included, along with taking apart and putting back together beds and tables.

Reading moving questions

Can you move us from Somerville or Medford to Reading?

Yes. We plan the stairs and parking on the city end and the carry on the Reading end in one written estimate.

Do downtown Reading condos have move rules?

Many do: set move hours, elevator reservations and sometimes a certificate of insurance. Ask your association and forward us what they need. We send it before moving day.

Do you serve North Reading and Wakefield too?

Yes, along with Wilmington, Stoneham and Woburn.
