What Affects Your Rate
While our hourly price is fixed, total cost depends on how long your move takes. Here is what influences that.
Home Size & Inventory
A studio with minimal furniture takes 2-3 hours. A fully furnished 3-bedroom home can take 5-8 hours. More items means more time, so decluttering before your move can save money.
Stairs & Building Access
Walk-ups, narrow hallways, and buildings without elevators require additional effort. Long carry distances from the truck to your door also add time. We always disclose these factors upfront.
Specialty Items
Pianos, safes, pool tables, and oversized furniture may require extra crew members or special equipment. Let us know about these items when booking so we can plan accordingly.
Timing & Seasonality
Boston's peak moving season runs June through September, and month-end weekends are the busiest days. Booking mid-week or mid-month during the off-season can lower your total cost.
Packing Services
If you add professional packing, your crew handles all boxing, wrapping, and labeling. Full packing adds time but saves you days of prep work and ensures items are properly protected.
Distance Between Locations
For local moves, drive time between your origin and destination counts toward the hourly clock. Shorter distances keep costs down. Moves over 100 miles are quoted at a flat rate instead.
