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

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

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

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

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

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