Factors That Affect Your Cost

Understanding these variables helps you budget accurately and potentially save money on your move.

Size of Your Move

More rooms and furniture means a larger crew and more time. A studio typically takes 2-3 hours; a 3-bedroom home may take 5-8 hours.

Distance

Local moves are billed hourly. Long-distance moves (100+ miles) are quoted at a flat rate based on weight and distance.

Stairs & Elevators

Walk-ups, narrow stairwells, or buildings without elevators add time. We disclose any stair fees before you book.

Season & Timing

Summer (June-September) and month-end dates are peak moving season in Boston. Booking mid-month or off-season can save you money.

Building Access

Buildings that require elevator reservations, loading dock scheduling, or long carries from the truck to your unit can increase move time.

Packing & Special Items

Pianos, safes, antiques, and fragile items require extra care and equipment. Full packing services add to the total but save you time and stress.
