One named foreman and crew handle every item start to finish, protect stairs and doorways, and place each box in the right room at your new Boston address.

PRICING
Flat-rate or hourly. Always your choice. Always in writing.

Most local Boston moves take 4–7 hours. We price both ways and let you pick. Whichever you choose, the number is binding — it doesn’t go up because traffic on Storrow Drive was bad or the elevator broke.

Used Nomad for our move to Back Bay. The quote was binding, the crew was on time, and the walk-up stairs were no problem — exactly the operating model they advertise.

Clear communication from first quote to delivery, and they filed the building COI for us. No surprises, no day-of price changes. Would book Nomad in Boston again.

FAQ
FAQ — Boston Movers

A full local move door to door — packing, disassembly and reassembly, loading, transport, and room-by-room placement. We cover studios to large homes in Boston with a named foreman, career crews, and a binding flat-rate price that never changes on move day.

For weekday moves, 2 weeks is usually enough. For weekends, end-of-month, or the August/September turnover, book 4–6 weeks out. Same-day moves are possible when our schedule allows — call first thing in the morning and we’ll tell you straight.

In the City of Boston you’ll typically need a moving permit and posted no-parking signs for the truck. Tell us your addresses at booking and we’ll advise on the permit and take care of the truck logistics.

Yes — we deliver same-day COIs, book freight elevators and loading docks, and protect lobbies and corridors. We’re approved by 200+ Boston buildings, including Financial District towers, the Seaport, and Back Bay high-rises.

Use the 60-second quote form or call (857)430-7733. You’ll get a written, binding flat-rate proposal — the number you sign is the number you pay — usually within one business day.
