I’m Owen Brennan, and my crew has been running local moves across Boston and Middlesex County since 2012. Most of what we haul isn’t a suburban ranch — it’s a third-floor triple-decker walk-up in Dorchester, Somerville, or Cambridge with a stairwell built for people, not sofas.

We quote a flat rate in writing before we load, so there’s no surprise number at the truck. Rate covers our own trucks, our own W-2 crew, blankets, dollies, and shrink-wrap — not add-ons you find out about later.

Crew size Rate Best for
2 movers + truck $175/hr Studio or 1-bedroom walk-up
3 movers + truck $225/hr 2-3 bedroom home or condo

Sample flat-rate jobs we’ve locked in writing recently:

Move Flat rate
1-bedroom triple-decker, Somerville to Cambridge $620
Studio walk-up, South Boston to Dorchester $395
2-bedroom colonial, Newton to Arlington $980
3-bedroom split-level, Framingham local move $1,150
2-bedroom brownstone, South End to Back Bay $860

One-hour minimum on every job. We carry $0.60/lb released-value coverage standard, with full-value protection available up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage per shipment. We hold a Massachusetts DPU household-goods permit plus US DOT and MC authority — we’re a real mover, not a broker passing your job to a stranger.

Narrow one-way streets in the South End and resident-permit parking near Beacon Hill mean we pull cones or a permit in advance and stage a shuttle-load plan when a full-size truck can’t sit at your door. Need help further out? See our long-distance moving page, or check Somerville and the rest of our service areas.

Questions People Ask Us

Are you a moving company?
Yes — Middlesex Movers is a fully licensed and insured Boston, MA moving company running our own trucks and uniformed crew, with a Massachusetts DPU household-goods permit and US DOT and MC authority.
Can you get a truck to a narrow Somerville or South End street?
Usually, yes. We pull resident parking permits or cones in advance and stage a shuttle-load plan when a full-size truck can't park right at the door.
How is local pricing calculated?
By crew size and hour: $175/hr for 2 movers, $225/hr for 3 movers, one-hour minimum, with the total locked as a flat rate in writing before we start.
Do you handle triple-decker walk-ups?
Constantly. Narrow stairwells and tight turns in Dorchester, Somerville, and Cambridge triple-deckers are most of our day-to-day local volume.
What's covered if something gets damaged?
Released-value coverage at $0.60/lb is included, and full-value protection up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage is available on request.
Do I need to be home for the whole move?
No, but someone should be reachable to walk the crew through the space and sign off at both ends.
