Lexington Movers for Homes, Apartments and Offices

Lexington Movers for Carefully Planned Local Moves

Safe Responsible Movers provides residential, apartment, office and labor only moving services throughout Lexington, Massachusetts. Since 2008, our professional crews have helped customers move within Lexington and between Lexington and communities throughout Greater Boston and Massachusetts.

Safe Responsible Movers has earned an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, five-star reviews on Google and Yelp, and recognition from Boston Magazine, Boston.com, The Improper Bostonian and Banker & Tradesman.

Many Lexington moves involve larger single-family homes, multiple floors, finished basements, garages, attics and furniture spread throughout the property. Choosing the correct crew size and truck can prevent a large house move from taking considerably longer than expected.

Rates start at $179 per hour for two movers and a 16-foot truck, plus a travel fee, with a two-hour minimum. A three-person crew with a 16-foot truck starts at $239 per hour, plus travel.

Moving Homes in Lexington, Massachusetts

Moving a Lexington home can involve considerably more inventory than a typical Boston apartment move. In addition to household furniture and boxes, customers may need help moving items from basements, garages, home offices, workshops, patios, attics and storage areas.

Access also matters. A long driveway, steep walkway or distant truck-parking location adds walking time to every trip. Large furniture may need to be disassembled before it can pass through a doorway, turn on a staircase or reach a finished basement.

Our crews arrive with moving blankets, dollies, straps, basic tools and floor-protection materials. We can disassemble and reassemble common household furniture when necessary and wrap furniture before it is carried through the home.

We handle moves throughout Lexington, including Lexington Center, East Lexington, Meriam Hill, Peacock Farm and neighborhoods around Bedford Street, Waltham Street, Marrett Road and Route 2.

Choosing the Right Crew and Truck

A two-person crew may be appropriate for a smaller apartment, lightly furnished condominium, internal furniture move or limited number of items.

A three-person crew is often more efficient when a move includes:

• Multiple floors
• Longer walking distances
• Large bedroom sets
• Finished basements
• Heavy furniture
• A larger number of boxes
• Considerable furniture disassembly

Larger Lexington house moves may require four or more movers, a 26-foot truck or multiple trucks.

Understaffing a large move may reduce the hourly rate, but it can increase the total cost when the move takes considerably longer. A larger crew can keep furniture moving while other crew members protect items, disassemble furniture, load the truck and manage different areas of the home.

When preparing your quote, we consider the inventory, stairs, access, distance between addresses and the amount of furniture that needs to be taken apart. We will recommend the crew and truck that we believe will complete the move efficiently.

Lexington Moving Company Rates

Our Lexington moving services are charged by the hour based on the crew and truck required.

Starting rates include:

Two movers with a 16-foot truck: $179 per hour
Three movers with a 16-foot truck: $239 per hour

A two-hour minimum and travel fee apply. Additional crew members, larger trucks, packing materials and specialty services may change the rate.

Your quote will explain the hourly rate, minimum time, travel fee and recommended crew before you reserve the move. Moving time is affected by inventory, stairs, elevators, walking distance, furniture preparation, traffic and access at each property.

We bill moving time in 15-minute increments after the minimum.

Residential, Apartment and Condo Moves

Safe Responsible Movers handles:

• Whole-house moves
• Apartment and condominium moves
• Moves within the same building
• Furniture rearranging
• Moves into and out of storage
• Downsizing and senior moves
• Packing and unpacking
• Single-item and furniture-only moves

For condominiums and managed properties, customers should confirm permitted moving hours, elevator reservations, loading-area rules and Certificate of Insurance requirements before moving day.

Let us know about these requirements when requesting your quote so we can provide the necessary insurance documentation and plan the arrival time.

Labor-Only Movers in Lexington

Already have a rental truck, POD, U-Box, Pack Rat container or U-Pack trailer?

Our Lexington labor-only movers can load or unload your equipment without providing one of our moving trucks. We can also help move furniture within your home during renovations, flooring installation, staging or construction.

Labor-only services include:

• Loading rental trucks
• Unloading rental trucks
• Loading storage containers
• Unloading storage containers
• Moving furniture between floors
• Clearing rooms for renovations
• Rearranging heavy furniture
• Moving items into garages or basements

Labor-only service is charged hourly and still has a minimum and travel fee. Let us know the container or truck size, inventory, stairs and distance from the parking location so we can recommend an appropriate crew.

Office and Commercial Movers in Lexington

We provide office and commercial moving services for small and mid-sized businesses in Lexington and throughout Massachusetts.

Our crews can move:

• Desks and office chairs
• Conference tables
• Filing cabinets
• Shelving
• Boxed records
• Reception furniture
• Common office equipment
• Break-room furniture and supplies

Moves can be scheduled in phases when a business needs to reduce disruption or continue operating during the relocation.

Before the move, label furniture and boxes by employee, room or department. Confirm access to loading areas, elevators and building entrances at both locations.

Packing Services for Lexington Moves

We offer full and partial packing services for homes, apartments and offices.

Full packing may include the entire kitchen, bedrooms, books, artwork, home-office supplies, basement items and other household belongings. Partial packing allows you to handle most of the home while leaving difficult or fragile areas to our crew.

Packing materials can include:

• Small, medium and large moving boxes
• Dish boxes
• Packing paper
• Bubble wrap
• Tape
• Wardrobe boxes
• Mattress bags

Books should be packed in small boxes. Large boxes filled with books can become difficult to lift and may break during the move.

Customers who prefer to pack themselves should have boxes closed, taped and labeled before the movers arrive.

Parking and Moving-Truck Access in Lexington

Many Lexington homes have usable driveways, but truck placement should still be discussed before the move.

Low branches, narrow entrances, steep grades, tight turns or vehicles parked in the driveway may prevent the truck from reaching the most efficient loading position. A long distance between the house and truck can add substantial time to a large move.

Before moving day:

• Move personal vehicles out of the driveway
• Confirm that tree branches provide enough truck clearance
• Keep walkways and stairs clear
• Remove snow and ice during winter
• Let us know about narrow or steep driveway entrances
• Tell us when the truck cannot park directly at the property

Addresses near Lexington Center may have more limited curb access and parking restrictions. Customers with unusual parking conditions should contact the Lexington Police Traffic Bureau or discuss the address with us before moving day.

Moving Around Patriots’ Day in Lexington

Patriots’ Day weekend requires additional planning in Lexington.

Road closures, parades, ceremonies and increased traffic can affect Massachusetts Avenue, Bedford Street, Lexington Center and surrounding roads. A move near the center should be scheduled around those events whenever possible.

Customers moving during Patriots’ Day weekend should confirm road closures before the move and provide the moving company with any property-specific access instructions.

Preparing for Your Lexington Move

A well-prepared home helps the crew begin working immediately.

Before the movers arrive:

• Pack loose belongings into sealed boxes
• Empty dressers and desks
• Label boxes by room or destination
• Reserve elevators and loading areas
• Separate anything that should not be moved
• Make sure walkways and stairs are clear
• Keep children and pets away from working areas
• Confirm that furniture will fit at the new property
• Keep medications, documents, keys and valuables with you

Do not pack propane tanks, gasoline, ammunition, flammable liquids or other hazardous materials.

If you are uncertain whether an item can be moved, ask before moving day.
