Next Step Moving and Storage

Sean prices most studio and one-bedroom jobs between $700 and $1,000, and a full three- or four-bedroom house lands somewhere between $1,500 and $3,200 once stairs, distance, and packing help are factored in. Nothing on that written number moves once the truck is loaded — a piano or a gun safe is the one flat add-on, $150 to $300, agreed on ahead of time instead of billed by the hour.

Belmont apartment leases tend to turn over between June and September, so those Saturdays on Belmont’s calendar disappear two or three weeks ahead. A Tuesday or Wednesday move outside that stretch is a different story — sometimes a few days is plenty of notice. Either way, once Sean books the crew size and quotes the number, neither one changes when the truck actually shows up.

Veterans, teachers, and anyone moving for a semester at one of the local schools get a discount worked directly into the written quote — no code to hunt down. Just say so when Maureen answers the phone and she’ll fold it into the number before it goes to paper.

Tony Marchetti is usually behind the wheel on the four lanes we run most — down to Providence, west to Hartford, north to Portland, or the long pull into New York. An interstate job prices out the same way a local one does: one flat number before the truck leaves the driveway. The Massachusetts DPU permit and our federal DOT and MC authority cover the paperwork the second a shipment crosses into another state.

Blankets, dollies, and stretch wrap are already on the truck for every job, free of charge. Boxes and tape are a separate line — Devon runs full or partial packing for a flat add-on quoted before move day, and anything like a piano or a safe gets crated on its own regardless.

It happens on a good chunk of Belmont jobs, so it is built into how a booking works: call the office before your original morning and the date shifts at no cost. The one thing nobody can promise is a same-day swap once a crew has already left for another address.
