See specialty handling →Quote was $1,840 binding. Final bill was $1,840. They wrapped my mid-century credenza like it was the Mona Lisa. 5 hours door-to-door.
Four flights of stairs in 92° heat and they didn't complain once. Foreman Carlos called me the day before with a 30-minute arrival window — and hit it.
Got three quotes. Nomad wasn't the cheapest but they were the only one who showed up on time, in uniform, and with a written contract. Worth every dollar.
Building required a $2M COI and a 72-hour notice. They handled both within an hour of me asking. Move went off without a single ding to the wall.
We don't subcontract. We don't hire day labor. Every Nomad mover is an experienced, background-checked professional — paid a real wage with proper training. The crew that shows up has done this work hundreds of times, not their first weekend.
The eight things people ask us most about local moves in Greater Boston.
For weekday moves, 2 weeks is usually plenty. For weekends, end-of-month, or August/September turnover, book 4–6 weeks out. Same-day moves are possible if our schedule allows — call us first thing in the morning and we’ll tell you straight.
Both. Flat-rate is binding and best for moves with a clear inventory. Hourly is best for partial moves, single-room moves, or when the scope is genuinely unclear. We’ll quote both and let you pick.
Studio: 3–4 hours. 1-bedroom: 4–5 hours. 2-bedroom: 5–7 hours. 3-bedroom: 7–9 hours. 4+ bedrooms: full day. Stairs, packing, and long carries from truck to door add time.
Truck, fuel, mileage, tolls, labor, blankets, shrink-wrap, dollies, basic disassembly/reassembly, floor protection, and wardrobe boxes for the day. The only things that aren’t included are packing materials (if you want us to pack) and storage.
No — tipping is genuinely optional. If the crew did great work, $20–$40 per mover for a half-day move and $40–$80 per mover for a full day is standard. We pay our crew well so they don’t need it to make rent.
It happens. We offer overnight hold on the truck for $295, or short-term storage at our Cambridge facility starting at $185/week. Tell us 24h ahead if you can — same-day plans we’ll figure out together.
By federal law, every interstate move includes 60¢/lb basic released-value coverage. We sell two upgrades: full-value protection (the broken thing gets repaired or replaced) for ~$50 per $1,000 of declared value, and itemized coverage for high-value art/antiques.
Yes. Send us your building’s requirements (or just the management company contact) at booking and we’ll handle it directly. COIs are typically issued same-day; elevator reservations need 48–72 hours.
