In Home Movers in Massachusetts for Furniture Rearranging & Same-Building Moves
Safe Responsible Movers provides in-home moving services throughout Boston and Greater Boston, including moving furniture from one room to another, rearranging heavy furniture, moving items upstairs or downstairs, clearing rooms for renovations, and moving from one apartment or condo to another within the same building.
Sometimes you need professional movers even when you are not actually moving to a new address.
In many cases, no moving truck is necessary. You tell us what needs to be moved and where it needs to go, and our professional movers handle the lifting, carrying, protection, disassembly and furniture placement.
Safe Responsible Movers has served Massachusetts since 2008. We have been recognized as one of Boston’s top moving companies by Boston Magazine, The Improper Bostonian and Boston.com, maintain an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and have earned hundreds of five-star reviews from local customers.
In-Home Furniture Movers
If you need help moving furniture within your house, apartment or condo, you do not need to organize an entire traditional move.
Our in-home furniture movers can move furniture:
- From one room to another
- Upstairs or downstairs
- Between different floors
- Into or out of a basement
- Into an attic, garage or storage area
- Across the same room
- Between apartments or units in the same building
We regularly move couches, beds, dressers, desks, tables, bookcases, cabinets, exercise equipment, appliances and other large or awkward household items.
If an item needs to be partially disassembled to fit through a doorway, hallway or staircase, our movers can often disassemble it, move it and reassemble it in the new location.
Hire Someone to Move Furniture Within Your House
A lot of people searching for this service are simply trying to answer one question:
Can I hire someone to move furniture inside my house?
Absolutely.
Professional labor only movers are a good option when furniture is too heavy or awkward to move safely yourself, even if it is only going twenty feet.
You might need a dresser moved into another bedroom, a couch carried downstairs, a bed moved to a different floor, or an entire room rearranged. These are exactly the kinds of smaller in-house moves we handle.
Hiring professional movers also helps protect floors, walls, stair rails, doors and the furniture itself from damage that can happen when heavy items are dragged or carried without the right equipment.
Furniture Rearranging Services
You do not have to be moving to need movers.
Our furniture rearranging services are commonly used when homeowners, tenants, property managers, designers or real estate agents need to change the layout of a space.
We can help with:
Furniture rearranging and redecorating
Home staging before selling a property
Preparing rooms for painting or renovation
Clearing furniture before floors are refinished
Moving furniture back after construction is completed
Changing bedrooms or home-office spaces
Moving furniture to accommodate mobility or accessibility needs
Preparing a room for new furniture
Downsizing or reorganizing a home
Moving furniture into basements, garages or storage areas
Whether you need one heavy piece moved or several rooms reorganized, tell us what you are trying to accomplish and we can recommend the appropriate crew.
Moving Furniture From One Room to Another
Moving furniture from one room to another sounds simple until the couch does not fit through the doorway or the dresser has to make a tight turn on the stairs.
Boston homes and apartments can make these jobs especially tricky.
We regularly work in brownstones, triple-deckers, walk-up apartments, older houses and buildings with narrow staircases, small elevators and tight hallways.
Our movers can evaluate the route, protect the furniture and surrounding property, and determine whether an item needs to be disassembled before it is moved.
For larger or unusually difficult pieces, sending us photos ahead of time can help us recommend the right crew and equipment.
Help Moving Heavy Furniture
Heavy furniture is one of the most common reasons people call us for an in-home move.
Large couches, sleeper sofas, dressers, solid-wood tables, beds and other bulky pieces can be difficult to lift safely, especially when stairs are involved.
Our crews arrive with professional moving equipment including moving pads, dollies, hand trucks, straps, stretch wrap and basic tools.
Instead of recruiting friends or trying to muscle an awkward piece through the house yourself, you can hire experienced movers to handle the heavy lifting.
Movers for Moving Within the Same Building
Moving to another apartment in the same building is still a real move.
We provide movers for apartment and condo transfers within the same building, including:
Moving to another floor
Moving across the hallway
Moving into a larger or smaller unit
Moving between units in the same apartment complex
Moving belongings into a building storage room
Combining two units
Moving furniture between residential and common areas
A truck may not be necessary if everything can be moved through the building. That can make a same-building move simpler and less expensive than a traditional move, but the amount of work involved still depends on the building.
Long hallways, elevator wait times, stairs, loading docks and building requirements can all affect how long the move takes.
Same-Building Apartment Moves in Boston
Boston apartment buildings create their own challenges.
Some properties require freight elevator reservations or Certificates of Insurance. Other buildings have restricted move hours, long walks between units or elevators that are much smaller than expected.
Older Boston buildings may not have elevators at all.
When requesting a quote for a move within the same building, let us know:
Which floors the two units are on
Whether there is an elevator
Whether the elevator must be reserved
Whether stairs are involved
Approximately how much furniture and how many boxes are being moved
Whether the building requires a Certificate of Insurance
Whether anything is unusually large or heavy
Knowing these details helps us send the right number of movers and give you a much more accurate estimate.
In-Home Moving for Renovations and Floor Work
Renovations often create a moving job before the contractors can even begin.
If you are having hardwood floors refinished, rooms painted, carpeting replaced or other remodeling completed, we can move furniture out of the work area before the project begins.
Furniture can be moved into another room, another floor, a basement, garage, storage area or other available space.
Once the work is finished, we can return and put everything back.
This is especially useful when an entire floor needs to be cleared but the furniture is staying on the property.
In-Home Movers for Apartments, Condos and Houses
In-home moving is not limited to houses.
We provide furniture moving and rearranging services in:
Apartments
Condominiums
Single-family homes
Multifamily homes
Senior living communities
Office spaces
Apartment complexes
High-rise buildings
Whether you need furniture moved across a room or your entire apartment moved three floors down, the basic idea is the same: professional moving help without necessarily needing transportation between two addresses.
Do I Need a Moving Truck?
Usually not.
If everything is staying inside the same home or connected building, we can generally perform the move as a labor-only service without bringing a moving truck.
There are exceptions.
For example, two units in the same apartment complex may be separated by several buildings or may not have an interior connection. In those situations, using a moving truck can sometimes be faster and more practical.
Tell us where the furniture is now and where it needs to go and we will recommend the simplest approach.
How Much Does an In-Home Move Cost?
In-home moves are generally charged based on the number of movers needed and the amount of time the job takes.
The biggest factors are:
The amount of furniture being moved
Furniture size and weight
Number of floors
Stair and elevator access
Distance between the current and final locations
Whether furniture requires disassembly
Any unusually heavy or difficult items
The easiest way to get an accurate quote is to send us an inventory of what needs to be moved along with photos of any particularly large items or difficult staircases.
For very small jobs, photos are often enough for us to understand the scope.
