Dependable, Affordable, Trustful Moving Company

Highly rated among all platforms

Apartment moves come with their own set of challenges that house moves do not. The lease ends on the 31st. The new building only allows moves between 9 and 5. The freight elevator has to be reserved a week ahead. The street parking is permit-only, and there is a fire hydrant exactly where the truck needs to be. Home Team Moving has been working as apartment movers across Lexington, Arlington, Cambridge, Belmont and the rest of Greater Boston since 2011. Our crews have spent the past 15 years figuring out the patterns, the building rules, and the city-specific quirks that turn a stressful day into a routine one. More than 70% of our work comes from repeat customers and referrals, and a sizable share of that is renters who used us for a first apartment and called again every time they moved.

We are a locally owned apartment moving company headquartered at 789 Massachusetts Avenue in Lexington. Our operation is licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (MDPU #31605) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (USDOT #2336199), accredited with an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, and an active member of the Massachusetts Movers Association. When renters search for apartment movers near me, they are usually looking for two things: a crew that knows their building and a quote that does not surprise them on moving day. That is exactly what we deliver.

What Our Apartment Moving Service Includes

Every apartment move we handle is built around three priorities: protect your belongings, hit the building’s window, and finish inside the quoted time. A typical apartment move with us includes the following.

Pre-Move Walkthrough and Estimate
We start with a walkthrough of your current apartment, either in person or by video for smaller units. Our team checks the stairwell turns, the elevator dimensions, the parking layout, and any oversized pieces that need disassembly. The written estimate is built around the crew size and truck capacity your specific apartment needs, not a flat rate that assumes every studio is the same.

Building Compliance and Certificates of Insurance
Most apartment buildings in Greater Boston require a Certificate of Insurance filed before move day, sometimes with very specific wording. Our office handles the paperwork directly with your property management or building management company, so you are not stuck chasing forms the day before your move. We also coordinate freight elevator reservations, time windows, and any move-in fees the building requires.

Apartment Packing and DisassemblyOur crews can pack the entire apartment, focus on the kitchen and fragile items, or simply handle the disassembly of beds, desks, dining tables, and shelving units. For renters going from a furnished to an unfurnished space, or moving into a smaller apartment after a roommate change, we tailor the service to what the move actually requires.

Loading, Stairs, and Walkup Handling
Walkups make up a significant share of our apartment work, especially across Cambridge, Arlington, and the denser pockets of Lexington and Belmont. We plan extra hands for upper-floor jobs, bring padding for narrow stairwells, and pre-route any oversized pieces during the walkthrough so nothing gets stuck at a tight landing. None of it is a surprise upcharge. It is all priced into the estimate.

Transport and Delivery
Trucks are loaded in reverse unload order, padded and strapped for transit, and driven directly to the new building. At delivery, our crew places each item in the room you specify, reassembles anything we disassembled, and removes packing debris. You walk into the new apartment ready to settle in, not a stack of boxes blocking the bedroom door.

Same-Day, Last-Minute, and Short-Distance Moves
Apartment moves often come with short notice. A new lease starts faster than expected, a roommate situation changes, a job offer accelerates the timeline. We accept same-day, next-day, and last-minute apartment bookings when our schedule allows, and we are particularly efficient with short-distance moves inside the same building or across the same neighborhood.

icon-knowledge

15 Years of Local Experience

We have been working as apartment movers in this corner of Massachusetts since 2011. We know which Cambridge buildings collect move-in fees upfront, which Arlington walkups have stairwells too narrow for a standard box spring, and which Lexington and Belmont condo associations want COIs a full week ahead. That kind of local knowledge only comes from doing the work, year after year.

icon-licensed

Fully Licensed and Properly Insured

We carry cargo, automotive, general liability, and workers compensation insurance. Our certificates of insurance are available on request and we routinely file them with property management offices, leasing agents, and building management companies before move day.

icon-customer-satisfaction

Independently Verified Reputation

We have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and consistently strong reviews on Google, Yelp, and Angi. We are also a member of the Massachusetts Movers Association, which holds member companies to a published code of ethics.

Our Movers Are Employees, Not Subcontractors

Every person who shows up to your apartment is a Home Team Moving employee trained through our hands-on program. We do not hire day labor or hand jobs off to a third party. The crew you met on the walkthrough is the crew that shows up at your door on moving day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do apartment movers cost in Lexington, MA?

Arrow Down

Apartment moves are billed hourly based on crew size and truck count, with the total shaped by apartment size, stair count, walkup vs. elevator access, packing needs, and parking. A studio move runs very differently from a two-bedroom with a finished den. The walkthrough is what produces an accurate estimate for your specific unit, and after our three-hour minimum, billing runs in 15-minute increments so you only pay for the time worked.

Do you handle third-floor walkups and tight stairwells?

Arrow Down

Yes, walkups make up a significant share of our apartment work across Greater Boston, especially in Cambridge, Arlington, and the older neighborhoods of Lexington and Belmont. We plan extra hands for upper-floor units, bring padding for narrow stairwells, and disassemble anything that will not make the turn at the top of the stairs. The walkthrough is where we identify any tight spots so nothing slows down moving day.

Can you provide a Certificate of Insurance for my building?

Arrow Down

Absolutely. Most Greater Boston apartment buildings require a COI before allowing a move, and our office handles the filing directly with your property management or building management company. Just send us the building’s requirements during the walkthrough and we take care of the rest, including any specific wording or coverage amounts the building requires.

How quickly can you schedule a small apartment move?

Arrow Down

For studios, one-bedrooms, and other small apartments, we can sometimes accommodate same-day or next-day bookings when our schedule allows. For end-of-month dates and September 1st in Cambridge, the calendar fills up well in advance and we recommend booking three to six weeks ahead. The sooner you reach out, the easier it is to lock in your preferred date and time.

Do you move studio and one-bedroom apartments efficiently?

Arrow Down

Yes, small apartment movers are one of our most-requested services. Studios and one-bedrooms typically run with a two-person crew and one truck, and the entire move often wraps in three to four hours from load to unload. We size the crew to the apartment, not to a flat-rate template, which keeps the hourly bill where it should be.

Do you offer packing for apartment moves?

Arrow Down

Yes. Full packing, partial packing, and fragile-only packing are all available for apartment moves. We supply all boxes, paper, tape, dish packs, and wardrobe cartons, and label everything by room for a fast unpack on the other end. Most apartment packing happens the day before the move, though small units can often be packed and moved on the same day.
