Woburn, MA Movers

Two movers and a truck: $159 to $199 an hour, 3 hours minimum.

$159 to $199 an hour buys two movers and a truck from our Woburn headquarters; quiet dates sit at the low end and busy dates at the high end. Bigger homes need bigger crews, from $199 an hour with three movers or $239 with four. Every job carries the 3-hour minimum and the $50 equipment charge, and past the third hour you pay in 15-minute steps. A 2-bedroom unit in a Woburn two-family usually takes three movers 5 to 7 hours; the example moves above show the totals.

The Woburn office moves households across the city and in the towns around it. Pages for nearby towns cover Wilmington, Burlington, North Reading, Medford and Arlington. A move between Woburn and Boston is a local move as well, billed by the hour like one inside the city.

Our crews leave flammable liquids, explosives, firearms and gas or propane tanks behind. For paint, solvents and pool chemicals, Woburn holds one Hazardous Waste Day a year, in early August, which takes no propane tanks. Dried-out latex paint can go in the regular trash. We do move mattresses, but one you leave behind has to be recycled, never set out with the trash.

Usually not. Woburn's codes and permit pages list no moving permit and no way to reserve curb space, so the truck stands where the Traffic Code already allows parking, with 10 feet of lane left open and no driveway blocked. A Public Works permit is needed only if the truck or a container would obstruct the street, and the police can then require a paid detail. From November 15 to March 31, also keep the even-numbered side clear from 2 to 6 a.m.

The city allows it. On Sundays the Traffic Code limits a truck of one ton or more to an hour on a city street, but the limit does not apply while it is loading or unloading. Whether a crew is available that Sunday depends on our schedule, so name the date when you ask for the estimate. Plan the unload for the same day, since a full truck cannot sit parked between your two homes past that hour. Downtown parking meters do not run on Sundays either.

Start with who shows up. A company that passes your job to another mover is a broker, so ask whose crew and truck arrive, and for a move inside Massachusetts look for a state license (ours is MA DPU 31854). Be wary of a price given before anyone asks about your items, stairs or parking. And ask what the coverage pays: the basic level is limited to 60 cents a pound per article, and only Full Value Protection, bought separately, covers what a piece is worth.

Yes, when we confirm it at the estimate. Storage then becomes part of the plan: we load your home, take the items to storage, and deliver them to the new address once you have the keys. Woburn closings carry their own lead times, such as the final water reading 7 days ahead, so give us both dates when you ask for the estimate.
