Boston apartments are their own sport: third-floor walk-ups, elevator reservations, narrow South End stairs, and leases that all end on the same day. Harbor Moving LLC runs apartment moves every week across Greater Boston — at published prices, with a crew that knows the buildings.
From a studio apartment to a four-bedroom home — one careful crew, one clear price.
Whole-house moves handled start to finish: furniture wrapped and padded, boxes carried, beds and tables taken apart and set back up in the new home.
Studios to multi-bedroom apartments and condos. We work with your building's rules — elevator reservations, move-in windows, and loading areas — so moving day runs on schedule.
Short on time? Our packers box up the kitchen, closets, and fragile pieces for $45/hour per packer — and can unpack at the other end so the new place feels like home faster.
Downsizing or moving closer to family takes time, and we don't rush it. Patient, unhurried help for older customers and the families supporting them — sorting, packing, and settling in at a comfortable pace.
Leaving Massachusetts? Harbor Moving LLC is licensed for interstate moves under USDOT 4016795. The same careful crew loads your home, and we stay in touch the whole way to your new front door.
Between homes, or just clearing space? Storage starts at $125/month, and junk removal starts at $150 — old furniture and unwanted items gone before or after the move.
Published rates — the same numbers on our pricing page. No surprises on moving day.
Move package with 2 movers and truck. A straightforward flat price for smaller homes and apartments.

Move package with 4+ movers and truck, sized for larger homes and fuller households.
$159/hr — 2 movers + truck

2-hour minimum. Often the better fit for short, same-town moves.
Stairs are $45 per flight. Packing is $45/hour per packer. Every quote includes our crew's travel from our Dorchester office to your job and back — no separate travel charge added later.
Building rules handled before moving day.
Floors, elevator or walk-up, parking situation, and your lease dates. September 1st and end-of-month dates book fast — earlier is better.
Elevator reservations, certificates of insurance for the building, and loading-dock windows — tell us your management company’s requirements and we will line them up.
Crew navigates the stairs and tight turns with padded, wrapped furniture — doors and rails protected as we go.
Furniture placed in the right rooms at the new place, boxes stacked by label, beds ready for the first night.
Most of our moves are apartments. The buildings, the stairs, the parking — we have carried couches through all of it.
Third and fourth floors are normal days for us. Stairs are quoted honestly — $45 per flight — never a surprise at the door.
Studio and 1-bedroom moves start at $399, or hourly from $159/hr with a 2-hour minimum for short hops.
Need a certificate of insurance or an elevator reservation? Send us the building’s requirements and we will provide it.
Same-neighborhood moves are our bread and butter — hourly pricing keeps a cross-town hop fair.

As early as you can — Boston’s big turn day books out weeks ahead. For other dates, a week or two is usually fine.
Happens every week. Tell us the floors at both ends when you book so the crew and the quote are right.
Tell us four things and we'll take it from there: your company name, the addresses you're moving from and to, roughly how big the space is (square feet or headcount), and your target date. We'll schedule your free walkthrough and send one fixed quote.
