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.
