WHO WE ARE: Who are Safe Responsible Movers? Top Local Movers, of Course!

We’re the best movers in Boston, plain and simple. In the whole of Massachusetts, really. Sure, we’re musicians. We’re artists. We’re writers. And we’re all very stylish dressers.

And we’re fantastic local movers for residential and commercial moves covering the Greater Boston area.

More than anything, that’s the most common feedback we get — customers are satisfied because we’re really good at moving.

Some of the country’s best local movers debrief after another successful relocation.

Art is subjective. What’s not subjective? Lifting objects mortal men cannot (or, what is more often the case: lifting objects that mortals really, really don’t feel like lifting). Because that’s empirical and measurable and that’s what we can do for you. Beds, dressers, dining room sets:

If you own it, we can lift it. And if we can lift it, we can move it wherever you’d like: the North End, Jamaica Plain, Westwood; downstairs, upstairs, across flat surfaces.

Not only are we mere movers. We’re Safe Responsible Movers. We’re based in Boston, Massachusetts and we’re the best local movers out of all moving companies in MA.

Of course, Safe Responsible is licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities as a carrier of household goods. Our DPU license number is 31608. Additionally, as required by state law, we carry workman’s compensation, general liability, cargo, and commercial auto insurance. As a result, we can always prepare a certificate insurance if your building requires it. These are the things local movers know about that out of town companies miss.

(For those moving in the winter, we do not offer snow removal services. However, we do offer moving permit services in Boston, Brookline, and Somerville.) Click the button below to get a moving quote today!

WHAT WE DO: We’re a Massachusetts In-State Moving Company

Some movers will tell you about their fitness regimen, their diet, or how this going to be great material for a novel someday.

Not us.

We just move your stuff. In fact, we move anything and everything (well, most things – check out our Frequently Asked Questions or our List of Stuff Movers won’t Take if you’re wondering) anywhere and everywhere (within Massachusetts).

That’s right. Whatever you got — beds, books, benches — we’ll pick it up. Then we’ll put in our truck. Then we’ll move it into your new home. Sounds easy, right? Well, moving in Massachusetts is not always so simple.

We’re also great at moving dressers!

Why Do We Move the Way We Do?

We do it for the love of the game. We get an up-close look at the unique interior architecture of New England, the thrill of navigating a giant truck through the North End‘s narrow streets or a box spring through a Roslindale duplex and up to its fifth-floor window, the sense of accomplishment at the end of the day when we can say to each other, “look at all that stuff . . . it used to be somewhere else; now it’s all right here.”

Moving Services: Parking Permits

Also, we offer moving permit services. This service is available in Boston, Brookline, and Somerville. We don’t offer this service in Cambridge. This is because the City of Cambridge will post permits for you after you apply online.

What We Don’t Do

Because of legal and other restrictions, there are certain items we can’t take (here’s our list of items movers can’t take). Also, we do not offer snow removal services. If you’re moving between November and March, please consult our guide to moving in the winter.

Think you can do it, too? Let us know!

WHERE WE GO: All of Massachusetts!

We are a Massachusetts moving company; we operate anywhere and everywhere within Massachusetts. From Natick to the North End, Westwood to Wellesley, from Springfield to Cape Cod, our Boston movers can move you anywhere and everywhere within the Bay State. If you’re planning to move to or from any or all of the Commonwealth’s 296 towns and 55 cities, we’d be happy to move you.

As one of the best local moving companies in Massachusetts we generally perform three types of moves:

1. The Old Move-Out/Move-In

(This is the most common type of move)

Like most of our customers, you’re moving from one Massachusetts town to another. Great! Whether you’re relocating your entire residence, your small office, or just moving a single piece of particularly unwieldy furniture, it doesn’t matter. This move is the specialty of our Massachusetts moving company, and while we’re located in Allston, we will travel anywhere in the state to accommodate your move. As one of the highest rated movers in the state, we have the experience necessary to perform your move safely and responsibly Request a moving quote now and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

2. The Big Rearrangement

(Moves within the same building, other moves that don’t require the loading or unloading of a truck)

You have some big furniture items in your kitchen or living room. The flooring company is starting work next week and you need to clear out the rooms.  Contact the experts for a quote on taking your furniture into the garage or your basement for temporary storage. Or maybe you are moving to a new apartment, but it’s within the same building as your current place. Our MA moving company is happy to give you an estimate for that, too, just as long as the building is in Massachusetts.

3. The Cross-Country Journey (with furniture!)

You’re moving out of Massachusetts. Maybe the bright lights of Hollywood are calling, or you just took a job with the family business. Whatever the reason, we can help. While we do not perform full-service interstate moves (if that’s what you’re looking for, we recommend Pony Express), oftentimes the most cost-efficient interstate move is one you handle yourself.

You can do this by renting your own truck, or renting and shipping a U-Pack trailer or POD. Then our expert local movers load the container here. When you get to your destination state, you’ll hire a different local moving company in your destination state. Alternatively, we can help you unload your truck or container if you’re coming to Massachusetts from out-of-state.

If you’re having our Massachusetts movers help you load a truck that another company will unload, make sure you get plenty of blankets and cargo-securing materials before the movers arrive.

Of course, if all of your move takes place outside of the state, we can’t help you. But you can tell your friends about us!

I had a large safe I needed to move to a different location, and I was afraid no one would be Interested in taking on the job. I ended up emailing Safe Responsible and asking if they can do it. A couple straight forward emails later they gave me a flat rate price (very reasonable), gave me a time they’ll be able to do it on the day I needed it done. By the third email we agreed and got everything locked in. They showed up exactly on time, got it out, and in quickly, and were super neat and cautious the whole time. Highly recommend! Easy to deal with and professional!

My roommate and I used movers for the first time and let me tell you, what an INCREDIBLE experience. Safe Responsible Movers was so responsive, affordable, and fast. We had 4 movers clear our 2 bedroom apartment in an hour. The entire move took 3 hours. Moving is a pain but with this company, it was a piece of cake. I cannot recommend this company enough. Thank you so much for making our moving day such an easy feat!

I used these guys twice...one year ago and two years ago. Today I got burned by a horrible moving crew in Saratoga area which reminded me how solid Safe Responsible Movers were. Fast, efficient, and friendly. Hire them.

Safe Responsible Movers were great! They are communicative, clear and helpful. They were able to answer my questions about moving permits and are very quick to respond via email. Had a Sept 1st move and had to change day at the last minute. They offered me flexibility and fit me in. When they were running a bit late they called and gave me multiple updates. Their crew was fast and efficient upon arrival and really hustled. Will definitely use them again!

After years of trying to coordinate my own moves a carload at a time and renting a truck, I finally broke down for my last move and hired the crew from Safe Responsible Movers. They worked incredibly fast, but kept my stuff from getting dinged up. It was a third floor to a multistory home move, and I had a storage locker to move as well. They had estimated a two-truck move but after loading up the apartment, there was plenty of room for the storage unit, so they called off the second truck. I appreciated how fair they were on the price and how quickly, safely, and efficiently they worked. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing help with a move.
