Moving in Somerville comes with its own set of questions — from parking permits to September 1st logistics and triple-decker stairways.

Here are the answers our Somerville customers ask most.

How much do movers cost in Somerville?+
Moving costs in Somerville depend on the size of your home, distance, building access (stairs, no elevator, narrow hallways), and services needed. We offer both hourly and flat-rate pricing. Most Somerville apartment moves are very affordable — request a free quote with your details for an accurate estimate.
Do I need a parking permit for movers in Somerville?+
In most cases, yes. Somerville requires a temporary parking permit for moving trucks on residential streets. You can apply through the City of Somerville’s traffic and parking department. We can help coordinate permits and advise on requirements for your specific street — just let us know your address when booking.
Can you move me out of a Somerville triple-decker?+
Absolutely — triple-deckers are one of the most common building types in Somerville and our crew moves in and out of them regularly. We’re experienced with the tight stairways, narrow landings, and shared hallways that come with these buildings. For oversized items that won’t fit through stairwells, we also offer hoisting services.
When is the busiest time to move in Somerville?+
Like the rest of Greater Boston, September 1st is by far the busiest moving day in Somerville due to the annual lease turnover cycle. Book at least 4–6 weeks in advance if your move falls in late August or early September. Mid-month and weekday moves during other months typically offer better availability and rates.
