BOSTON, MA

Trusted Local Movers in Boston

For more than 20 years, Poseidon Moving has helped residents and businesses relocate throughout the city and surrounding communities. Our Boston movers bring that experience to every job through dependable scheduling, attentive handling, straightforward communication, and careful preparation.

As a full-service moving company in Boston and local movers in Massachusetts, we shape each relocation around what you’re moving, access conditions, schedule, and services involved. You’ll receive a clear estimate and a practical plan in advance, so the crew understands the scope before the first box is lifted.

PLANNING

Moving in Boston

Even a short-distance relocation can require careful preparation. Limited curb space, narrow streets, walk-up buildings, elevator reservations, loading restrictions, and certificate-of-insurance requirements can all influence the crew size, equipment, and schedule.

Route planning is equally important. Commercial trucks must avoid low-clearance roads, while traffic patterns and neighborhood restrictions can change throughout the day. Late summer is especially busy because many leases turn over near the beginning of September.

By reviewing access, parking, building requirements, and timing in advance, we can prepare the crew properly and reduce preventable delays.

PRICING

How Much Does It Cost to Move in Boston?

Local moving rates: Most local Boston moves are priced by the hour according to crew size, labor time, and applicable travel time. Qualifying local moves can also receive fixed-rate pricing when the scope can be clearly defined in advance. After reviewing the job, we’ll explain which option is the better fit.

Boston-specific cost factors: Parking permits, elevator reservations, building requirements, stairs, long carries, loading docks, certificates of insurance, packing, storage, and specialty items can all influence the price. Sharing these details early allows us to prepare a more precise estimate and assign the appropriate resources.

GET READY

Preparing for Your Boston Move

A Boston moving-truck permit is not legally required, but reserving curb space is often worthwhile in areas where legal parking is limited. Apply early enough to receive and post the required signs before your scheduled date.

Before your scheduled date:

Reserve elevators and loading docks with building management.

Ask whether either property requires a certificate of insurance.

Arrange truck parking early when curb space is limited.

Finish packing and labeling unless packing service is included.

Clear hallways, stairs, and entrances of loose items.

Measure narrow doors, staircases, and elevator openings.

Keep identification, medication, keys, valuables, and essential documents with you.

Notify your Move Coordinator about changes to what’s moving or access.

Drain, defrost, and properly disconnect appliances when applicable.

Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.

Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.

If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.

Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”

This includes:

  • Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
  • Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
  • Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
  • Living things, including plants, fish, and pets

We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.

Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.

Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.

Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:

  • Mounted TVs
  • Artwork and mirrors
  • Shelving
  • Window air conditioners

Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.

If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.

Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.

  • Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
  • Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.

Yes. Every Poseidon Moving truck arrives fully stocked with the supplies and equipment your move may need.

  • Heavy-duty moving pads, stretch wrap, and tape
  • Dollies, hand trucks, straps, and floor protection
  • Basic tools for disassembly and reassembly

If you’re not fully packed by moving day, let us know before your move date and we’ll make sure the crew brings the packing supplies you need – boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, mirror boxes, and TV boxes.
