Charlestown’s narrow streets, steep hills, permit-only parking, and mix of historic rowhouses and modern condo buildings make it one of the trickiest neighborhoods to move in across all of Boston. We plan for every detail before move day.

From a walkup on Bunker Hill Street to a harborfront condo, your belongings are handled with the same level of care.

Why Choose Poseidon Moving in Charlestown

  Charlestown street knowledge: We know the one-way patterns, dead ends, steep grades, and permit-only zones that make navigating this neighborhood a challenge for any moving truck.

  Historic rowhouse specialists: Narrow front entries, steep interior staircases, tight hallways, and no elevator — our crew handles these daily and plans the approach before move day.

  Navy Yard condo experience: Many Navy Yard and waterfront buildings require elevator reservations, COI certificates, loading dock scheduling, and strict move windows. We coordinate all of it with your building management.

  Parking permits handled: We coordinate city parking permits to secure truck space — essential on Charlestown’s tight, permit-heavy residential streets.

  Transparent pricing: Hourly or flat-rate quotes with no hidden fees. Know what you’re paying before we arrive.

  Professional, trained crew: Uniformed movers who are experienced, respectful of your home, and efficient with your time.

  Flexible scheduling: Evenings, weekends, and same-day availability when crew allows.

  Fully licensed and insured: Complete liability coverage with additional valuation protection available.

Moving in Charlestown means coordinating parking, building access, and tight street logistics before the truck even arrives. We handle all of it so move day runs smoothly.

Our Charlestown Moving Process

  Free quote: We assess your home or apartment — building type, floor level, stairway width, elevator access, street parking — then provide honest pricing with no surprises.

  Plan and prepare: We share a moving checklist, coordinate parking permits, reserve building elevators or loading docks if needed, and handle COI paperwork.

  Move day: On-time arrival from our uniformed crew. Floor runners and door frame protection go down first, then we wrap, protect, load, transport, and unload with care.

  Packing available: Full-service, partial, or fragile-only — our professional packers handle it so you don’t have to.

  Furniture placement: Everything goes exactly where you want it — assembled, positioned, and ready to use.

  Final walkthrough: We walk through your space with you to confirm every item is accounted for and placed correctly before we leave.

Here are the answers our Charlestown customers ask most.

How much do movers cost in Charlestown?+
Moving costs in Charlestown depend on the size of your home or apartment, building type (walkup rowhouse vs. elevator condo), floor level, distance, and services needed. Parking and access challenges on Charlestown’s narrow streets can also affect timing. We offer both hourly and flat-rate pricing — request a free quote with your details for an accurate estimate.
Do I need a parking permit for movers in Charlestown?+
In most areas, yes. Charlestown has resident-only parking on nearly every street, and a temporary moving permit is essential for securing truck space close to your building. You can apply through the City of Boston’s transportation department, or we can help coordinate permits on your behalf — just let us know your address when booking.
Can you move furniture out of a Charlestown rowhouse?+
Absolutely — Charlestown’s historic rowhouses are some of the trickiest buildings to move in and out of in Boston. Narrow front entries, steep interior staircases, tight hallways, and no elevator mean every piece of furniture needs to be carefully angled and maneuvered. Our crew does this regularly and we assess access before move day. For oversized items, we offer hoisting services through windows.
Does my Navy Yard building need a COI for movers?+
Most Navy Yard and waterfront condo buildings in Charlestown require a Certificate of Insurance (COI) from your moving company, along with elevator reservations and loading dock scheduling. We provide COIs routinely and coordinate building logistics in advance. Just share your building’s requirements and management contact when booking.
