Moving in Somerville

Somerville is the most densely populated city in New England, and triple-deckers make up much of its housing. Most moves here involve stacked apartments, shared stairwells, and porches, so we plan protection and loading order before the truck arrives.

Around Davis Square and near Tufts, we handle student moves for studios and shared apartments on tight lease dates. When a sofa or oversized piece won’t make the turn on a staircase, we hoist it through a window or balcony with the right rigging and crew.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Somerville

Somerville is known for its squares and hills, and our crews work in all of them:

  • Davis Square
  • Union Square
  • Assembly Square
  • Winter Hill

How Much Does It Cost to Move in Somerville?

Local Somerville moves are priced by the hour or at a flat rate, and your estimator will explain which option fits your move before you book.

Hourly Rate Moving

Hourly pricing is ideal for most local Somerville moves.

  • Pay based on the time it takes to complete your move.
  • Time starts when movers arrive and ends when the move is complete, plus fixed travel time.
  • Most moves require a 3-hour minimum.
  • Hourly rates vary by season and moving requirements.

Flat Rate Moving

Available for qualifying moves when the scope can be clearly defined in advance.

  • Pay one agreed price, regardless of moving time.
  • Pricing is based on the amount you’re moving, distance, and moving requirements.
  • No additional hourly charges if the move takes longer.
  • Changes to the agreed list of items or services may affect the price.

Preparing for Your Somerville Move

Shared stairwells, porches, and tight lease dates shape most Somerville moves, so prep starts with access and timing.

Before your scheduled date:

  • Reserve the elevator or loading dock if your building has one.
  • Ask whether either building requires a certificate of insurance.
  • Clear porches, hallways, and stairs of bikes, plants, and loose items.
  • Let neighbors know your move date if you share a stairwell or driveway.
  • Coordinate key pickup and return times with both landlords.
  • Finish packing and labeling unless packing service is included.
  • Keep identification, medication, keys, valuables, and essential documents with you.
  • Tell your Move Coordinator about any changes to what’s moving or building access.
  • Drain, defrost, and disconnect appliances when applicable.

Somerville Moving Questions Answered

It depends on how much you’re moving, the floor levels and stairs at both addresses, and any packing or storage you add. Request a free quote with your details for an accurate written estimate.
Yes. Tight stairwells and angled landings are everyday Somerville work. Furniture is wrapped and measured against the turns before move day so nothing gets forced.
Yes. Lease turnovers around September 1 are the busiest days in Somerville. Book three to four weeks ahead and we’ll plan parking, timing, and crew size around the crunch.
It depends on your street. Many Somerville streets have little open curb space, and a temporary permit from the City of Somerville may be needed to reserve room for the truck. We’ll advise you based on your address when you book.

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

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.
