Seaport dispatch, real yard.
We load and unload from a street-side operation in the Seaport — not a call center in another state. Crews are Boston-based, routes are known, and quotes are honest about loading-zone time and traffic on the Expressway.
Our Summer Street yard in the Seaport has handled over 3,200 moves across Greater Boston since 2021. From Back Bay brownstones and Cambridge walkups to suburban family homes in Newton and Brookline — we know the one-ways, the loading zones, the tight stairwells, and the parking rules that matter.
Same systems as our LA flagship — chain-of-custody barcodes, binding quotes, full-value insurance — but dispatched by people who actually know Boston.
We load and unload from a street-side operation in the Seaport — not a call center in another state. Crews are Boston-based, routes are known, and quotes are honest about loading-zone time and traffic on the Expressway.
Three-story brownstones in Back Bay, five-story walkups in Allston, Cambridge tenements with narrow landings — we've moved enough pianos and furniture up those stairs to know them blind. Scout calls are free if access is unclear.
January stairs are icy, loading zones are tight, and driveways are slammed. We quote winter jobs with real-time road conditions baked in, not seasonal guesses. Budget extra time in February and we'll beat it.
Colonial homes, winding residential streets, HOA loading windows — the inner suburbs are as familiar to us as Beacon Hill. We know the tree-lined streets and the real move times, not the GPS dream routes.
Whatever you're moving — across town, across the country, your whole office, or just the boxes you're not ready to unpack — same crews, same standards.
Same-Boston moves from $129/hr. Crews who know the streets, the stairs, the parking.

Three of the 3,200+ moves we've completed in Boston.
"Back Bay brownstone, 4 stories, narrow stairwell, curved banister. They wrapped everything carefully and worked around the tight turns like they'd done it a hundred times. Equipment went up spotless."
"Moving from Cambridge to Brookline mid-winter with a piano. Crew showed up prepared for snow, parked smart, and had the piano up the stairs in Brookline without a scratch. Quote held exactly."
"Allston apartment, 5-story walkup, no elevator, narrow stairwell on the landing. They moved everything in one trip without rushing. Professional and fast. Would hire them again in a heartbeat."

Boston-specific questions. For general questions, see the local-moves FAQ.
Yes — that's standard for us in Cambridge, Allston, and the North End. We quote those jobs honestly (they take longer), send two-person teams to tight landings, and wrap everything to protect walls and banisters. We've done thousands.
Yes. Winter adds real time and risk — ice on stairs, iced-in driveways, tight loading zones. We quote winter jobs with extra buffer and send crews trained for the conditions. Call in January and we'll be direct about timing.
Yes. The Seaport yard dispatches daily to the inner suburbs — no travel-time premium, just honest mileage in the quote. Colonial homes and narrow residential streets are routine for us.
We know the zones, the time limits, and which streets allow commercial loading on which days. We'll have the truck parked smart and crews moving fast to avoid overage fines.
The cost of a Boston move depends mainly on home size, crew size, distance, and access. Stairs, long carries from the truck, elevator reservations, and packing all add time. A move from a Back Bay walkup can take longer than a ground-floor home in Beacon Hill. ABC Movers gives a binding quote before move day, so call 800-771-0151 or request a free quote online for an exact price.
Book your Boston movers at least two to four weeks ahead, and earlier for summer or the end of the month. Weekends and the last days of the month fill up first because many leases end then. Mid-week dates are usually easier to get. If you're moving on short notice, call ABC Movers anyway, because we often have crews open for last-minute local moves.
Basic released-value coverage is included with your move, and you can buy more protection. Basic coverage pays according to an item's weight, not its replacement value, so it may not cover expensive items fully. For moves that cross state lines, the federal FMCSA requires movers to offer released-value and full-value protection, so you can choose your coverage level. ABC Movers explains every option on your quote, and we recommend listing high-value items before move day.
Yes, ABC Movers offers full and partial packing for Boston moves. Our crew can pack the whole home or just the fragile items, like dishes, art, mirrors, and electronics, using proper boxes and padding. Many Beacon Hill customers pack their own clothes and books and leave the kitchen to us. Tell us what you want packed when you request a quote, so the extra time is in the price.
ABC Movers branches across California — same standards, locally crewed.
