A Boston move can be something to look forward to, but it can frequently turn into a move from hell if not planned properly. Boston moving takes special preparation and planning in order to avoid some of the most common problems.

Boston itself is an older city, with many buildings dating to the mid 1800s. These buildings have many floors, and are on some of the busiest and most congested streets on the eastern seaboard. Parking is a major issue, and a major reason hiring a moving company can be headache all by itself.

There are moving companies that won’t even consider taking on these assignments. They’ve done it – and it’s a pain. Trucks need to park blocks away, and workers quit because they have had to haul furniture and boxes a few blocks to their destination – sometimes in horrendous weather.

Which brings us to the next problem. Many of Boston’s older buildings are walkups, which is exactly what it sounds like – you walk up. There are no elevators. Tell a moving company you’re on the second or third floor and your hourly rate can double. Tell them you’re on the fifth, and they might hang up on you!

Even if you are leaving the city for the beautiful suburbs, you might find moving quotes higher if you happen to be moving from an area where parking is a problem, and/or a building without an elevator. You’ll be paying by the hour no matter what, but movers have a difficult enough time just taking furniture out a front door and down a driveway. Taking furniture down three flights of stairs, and walking down the street to where the truck is parked, will cost you dearly.

Typically, an average job needs two people. However, if you have more than a one room efficiency, you should consider having 3 or 4 people; while two are bringing items to the truck, the others can continue working in the house. Remember – you’re paying by the hour. While your only two workers are outside, nothing is being done inside, and you’re being charged!

In addition to traffic and no elevator buildings, there is weather to deal with. Showers can come out of nowhere. Make sure the movers have covers that will protect your things from possible downpours; you don’t want to find out there were chairs or boxes left outside getting soaking wet.
