Reading sits where I-95/128 passes I-93, about twelve miles north of Boston: a commuter town built around Reading Square — the downtown at Main and Haven Streets — its train station, and street after street of colonials and capes. Harbor Moving LLC runs Reading as a regular route out of East Boston — full-service moves quoted from the same published price book we use everywhere.

Reading Square Condos and Colonial Streets

Downtown Reading moves are condos and apartments around the Square, some in buildings with elevators and loading rules to plan around. A few streets out, the stock is the town's signature: well-kept colonials and capes, many expanded over the years, with full staircases and finished basements that hold more than people expect. Basement and attic cleanouts ride along with a lot of Reading moves — junk removal starts at $150 and can run on the same visit. Stairs are $45 per flight, quoted up front.

From Downtown to the Wakefield Line

Downtown is the busy end: the Square, the station, and the streets that feed them. The west side runs toward Woburn in quiet subdivisions, and the east side toward Wakefield along Main Street and Summer Avenue. Reading families tend to move inside the same few towns — Reading, Wakefield, Stoneham, Woburn — which makes for a lot of short, same-week moves. Short hops are where our hourly crew usually prices best, and we will show you both numbers before you book.

Honest Pricing, From the Same Book

Reading moves are priced from our published book, the same numbers for everyone: hourly crews at $159/hr for two movers and a truck, $199 for three movers, $249 for four, with a two-hour minimum — or set packages at $399 for a studio or 1-bedroom, $749 for a 2-3 bedroom, and $1,299 for a 4+ bedroom. Stairs are $45 per flight. Need a gap between homes? Storage starts at $125/mo, and junk removal starts at $150. Heading further — down I-93 to Boston or out Route 128 toward the valley — longer moves are priced from the same book and confirmed in writing before you book.
