Things to consider when hiring Beacon Hill Movers

Moving Truck Parking in Beacon Hill is tough!

Beacon Hill is a notoriously congested neighborhood, so it’s essential to reserve Boston moving permits in order to ensure that the truck has a safe, legal, and accessible place to park on moving day. You can reserve them directly from the City of Boston if you wish, or our Beacon Hill movers can acquire them for you. Usually the permits cost $69/per address from the city, reserving 40ft of space for the moving truck to park

Tight Staircases = Trouble for Beacon Hill Movers

Beacon Hill is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Boston, with many homes built with tight staircases that will have trouble accommodating large furniture like wardrobes, couches, and box springs. Bear this in mind if you’re moving to the area for the first time. Hoisting may be an option if pieces can’t fit up the stairs, or you can consult and upholstery company like Melo and Sons, who may be able to disassemble the upholstered pieces and reassemble them upstairs

A smart Beacon Hill Moving Company won’t bring a giant truck

Large trucks can be a problem – Beacon Hill has cramped streets with very narrow turns, presenting a big problem for box trucks over 16ft or so. We generally try not to send 26ft trucks to the neighborhood because of this, so for larger moves            it may be necessary to send multiple small trucks as opposed to a large one. We operate 26ft trucks on Cambridge St, Hancock St, Mount Vernon St, and Chestnut, otherwise we prefer to bring smaller vehicles.

Local Recommendations from Beacon Hill Movers

         Where to buy tools and packing supplies

Longtime Beacon Hill hardware store Charles St Supply is a good local source for tools and packing supplies. If you’re in need of boxes, try stopping by Simmons Liquors on Cambridge St, like many other liquor stores they may be able to give you some extra boxes left over from shipments. Staples next to City Hall and Fedex will have boxes and packing tape, but their prices aren’t the best.
