Local Moving in Quincy and Across the South Shore
My name is Sean Donovan. Back in 2009 I bought a single truck, parked it in Quincy, and that was the start of Movers South Shore. Everything since has stayed in-house: the trucks belong to us, the movers are our own W-2 employees, and a local move anywhere on the South Shore comes with one flat price that I hand you on paper before the day arrives. What I will not do is float a low number on the phone and then watch it climb once the truck fills up. Sign for a figure here and that is the figure, full stop.
Where Our Crews Run
Pick a random week and the trucks are usually working Quincy, Braintree, Weymouth, Milton, and Holbrook, with regular runs out to the harbor towns of Hingham, Cohasset, and Scituate. The three-decker walk-ups of Wollaston and Quincy Center are familiar ground, as are the pinched triple staircases of Houghs Neck and Squantum, the Milton Victorians, and the colonials sitting right on the water in Marshfield and Hull. Ask my crew chiefs which stretches of Sea Street or Hancock Street leave no room to double-park and they will tell you off the top of their heads.
What One Flat Rate Covers
One price folds in everything: the truck and its fuel, the quilted pads, the dollies and straps, and a crew that pads and shrink-wraps each piece well before it heads for the ramp. Bed frames and tables come apart at your old address and go back together at the new one. You will not find a stair charge tacked onto the bottom of the invoice, and the shrink-wrap is never a line item. Prefer to pay by the clock instead? Two movers run $159/hr, three run $209/hr, and four run $269/hr, on a two-hour minimum. We work up both numbers and hand you whichever lands lower.
| Home size | Typical flat band |
|---|---|
| Studio | $600 to $900 |
| One-bedroom | $900 to $1,500 |
| Two-bedroom | $1,500 to $2,500 |
| Three-bedroom | $2,500 to $4,100 |
The Permit and the Parking
On a Quincy move, finding the truck a legal spot is honestly half the battle. Permit-only blocks and no-double-parking signs cover most of the city, so a week out Colleen files for the Quincy resident parking permit while Brendan plots the route around the Southeast Expressway and whatever the Red Line has torn up that month. Come move day the truck parks where it belongs rather than looping the block waiting for a gap.
Quincy-Based Since 2009
The larger jobs I still run myself, and home for me is up in Braintree, so a call to us reaches people who are out on these South Shore streets every single week. That is the reason the day unfolds the way it should, and the reason families around here pick up the phone again the next time they pack up.
