About Somerville, MA
It is a small, lively city northwest of Boston that is known for having neighbourhoods that are easy to walk through, a "square-to-square" plan, and a lot of residential streets, restaurants, and small businesses. New to Somerville? The City of Somerville's website has a guide just for residents and movers called Moving to Somerville: A New Resident's Guide.
Davis Square, Union Square, Assembly Row, and parks and lookouts like Prospect Hill are important parts of What Makes Somerville Unique. It's also one of the best places in the area for getting to work and the city. See U.S. Census QuickFacts: Somerville city for accurate demographic snapshots and city stats.
People choose Somerville because it's easy to get to and has good transport. On its official Green Line Extension page, the city talks about the new Green Line service that goes through Somerville. The page lists stops like Union Square, East Somerville, Gilman Square, Magoun Square, and Ball Square. A lot of drivers also depend on I-93 and important roads like McGrath Highway and Route 28. However, traffic and construction can make travel times longer. Here are regular updates from Mass.gov about the big work being done on I-93 in Somerville: Somerville I-93 Viaduct Preservation traffic updates.
Somerville is great, but moving here can be hard if you don't pay attention to parking rules and how the streets are laid out. Because of metered places, resident permit areas, and limited curb space, it's important to plan ahead, especially on moving days when a lot of people are moving.
Start with the City of Somerville website and the Somerville Parking Department to find out about city rules and tools.
The Process of Moving to Somerville, MA
It looks like this when Move and Care moves someone to Somerville. The process is simple and is split into three steps: getting ready, moving day, and getting settled in after the delivery.
1. Preparation
The next steps depend on your inventory, the needs of the building, and whether you want full service or partial service after you accept the quote and book your date.
Packing is the main one. We can pack everything for you if you choose our full packing services. This way, the process stays under control and runs smoothly. Packing can happen one to two days before or on the day of the move, depending on how much stuff there is. You can do some or all of the packing yourself. Use our packing guide to avoid chaos and broken things at the last minute.
Tip: Good packing is even more important for long-distance moves. More steps are taken to move, shake, and change the temperature of the items as they travel longer distances.
Parking and getting to the curb can make or break your schedule in Somerville. Maybe you need a moving van permit and some portable "No Parking" signs to save a spot on a street that requires them or is narrow. The City of Somerville's official moving-season tools, Moving Season Reminders & Resources, explain how to get a moving permit and how much it costs (including sign fees and daily permit costs). If you need to, you can also look at the city's permit application PDF: Moving van parking permit application.
We will still try to park as close as possible if parking isn't booked ahead of time. But in Somerville, where there isn't much curb room and you have to walk a long way, that can take longer and cost more.
Stay organised and make sure that important things don't get lost in Box #47 by using our moving checklist.
2. Move
On moving day, our crew shows up on time, checks how to get in, and finds the safest parking spot possible. We carefully load everything for transport, protect the furniture, and take things apart and put them back together as required.
❗Pay attention: Please note that we do not move people, animals, plants, dangerous chemicals, or goods that go bad quickly.
Once it's full, the truck will go to your location. We can add extra stops to the route if you need them, like for storage, a second address, or a pick-up along the way.
You can always know where your things are during the move because our trucks have GPS tracking sensors built in.
3. After the move
When we bring your items, you tell us how to unload them, where to put the boxes, and how to put the furniture together. We can also help with unpacking if you want.
Before the job is finished, you can check the things to make sure they all got there safely and are in the right place.
In case of damage or loss: If there is damage or loss, please take pictures and let your move manager know right away so that we can fix it.
About Moving Prices
Moving to or from Somerville costs mostly depend on the distance, the amount of stuff being moved, how hard it is to get to (stairs, lifts, parking), and the level of service (packing, storage).
- Local Moving: Hourly rates are used for moves that are close to 150 miles away.
- Long-Distance Moving: There is a set rate for moves over 150 miles or more.
- Moving and Storage: You will be charged every month for storage, which can include moving your things to and from the storage centre and loading and unloading them.

More About PricingF.A.Q. about moving in Somerville
Yes, our moving company is fully licensed for local moves within the state. While interstate movers are regulated by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT), local moving companies are regulated by the state. We also have individual state licenses wherever our offices are located: Massachusetts (MC Number: 1018431), North Carolina (NCUC Number: C-3067) and Texas (TXDMV: 009636518C).
Local moves with Move and Care are generated at an hourly rate. When we
determine your moving plan, we also determine the approximate labor time and the
number of movers needed. The number of movers determines the hourly
rate. If your move is large, more movers means faster work and lower cost.
Your quota will give you an approximate cost of the job, the actual cost will be
determined by the actual time spent, which may take a little less or a little more time
(we take into account 15 minute increments).
Find out more on our pricing page.
Move and Care provides two types of insurance. Basic insurance (Released Value Protection) - this is free and is included by default in any of our services. Move and Care guarantees liability for no more than 60 cents per pound per item. And Full Value Protection - this insurance means that any damage is fully covered, but there is an additional charge.
The movers will not transport perishable products, nor will they transport any hazardous objects. We also do not transport plants or weapons, and our services do not include animal transportation.
