Older houses, steep driveways
A lot of Winchester homes were built a century ago, with narrow front stairs, tight turns at the landing and back stairs that are even tighter. We look at photos first and decide which door each big piece goes through before the truck shows up.
On the west side and up the hills, driveways are steep and some are shared. Tell us if the truck can pull in or if it has to stay on the street, and whether the street is a hill. That decides how we load and how many movers make sense.
Winchester Center and the commuter rail
Around Winchester Center, Mt. Vernon Street and the Wedgemere and Center stations, parking is metered and curb space disappears on weekday mornings. Check with the town about reserving space in front of the building, and we will tell you how much curb the truck needs.
Condo buildings near the center often have move hours and want a certificate of insurance. Ask management early and forward us what they need. We send it before moving day.
Moving into Winchester from the city
Many Winchester moves start in Somerville, Cambridge or Medford, usually a third-floor apartment going into a house with a basement and a garage. We handle both ends: the walk-up stairs in the city and the long carry into the new place.
If you are buying, send us the closing date as soon as you have it. Weekend dates at the end of the month go first.
Rates and what is included
From our Swampscott base we come across Route 1 and I-95 or through Medford, so Winchester is one of the closer towns we serve outside the North Shore.
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 Winchester move in writing before moving day.
