Dependable, Affordable, Trustful Moving Company

Highly rated among all platforms

Some pieces cannot be tossed onto a standard moving truck and hoped for the best. Pianos that weigh 800 pounds. Gun safes that have to clear a basement stair turn without scraping the wall. Marble tabletops, hot tubs, gym equipment, antique armoires that came over on a boat in 1910. Home Team Moving has been working as a large item mover across Lexington, MA, Arlington, Cambridge, Bedford, and Belmont since 2011. Over 15 years of doing this work, our team has handled thousands of heavy and oversized pieces, and that experience is exactly what separates a clean job from a damaged floor and a chipped doorframe.

We are a locally owned specialty 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 homeowners search for piano movers near me or large item movers, they are looking for one thing: a crew that has actually moved the piece in question before. That is the standard our team is built around.

What Our Large Item Moving Service Covers

Every large item job is built around the same three priorities: protect the piece, protect the property, and move it safely from start to finish. A typical specialty move with us includes the following.

Piano Moving Services
We handle uprights, spinets, consoles, baby grands, and full concert grands. Each piano gets the right equipment for the job, including piano boards, padded skids, four-wheel dollies, stair climbers, and the right number of movers to control the weight on every step. Our piano moving services cover both intra-home moves (basement to living room) and full transports to a new address across Greater Boston or out of state.

Gun Safe and Heavy Safe Movers
Gun safes routinely run 500 to 1,500 pounds, and the difference between a safe arriving cleanly and crashing through a staircase comes down to equipment and experience. Our team uses heavy-duty dollies, stair-climbers, and reinforced straps, and we plan the route through your home before the safe ever moves. We handle home safes, commercial safes, and gun safes of every standard size.

Pool Table and Billiards Moving
Pool tables cannot be moved assembled. The slate has to come out, the rails have to be separated, and the felt usually has to be replaced at the new location. Our pool table movers handle the full disassembly, transport, reassembly, leveling, and re-felting service, so the table plays the way it did the day it was installed.

Hot Tub Movers
Hot tubs are heavier and more awkward than they look, and they often need to be tipped on edge to clear gates and doorways. Our hot tub movers bring the right dollies, straps, and crew size to handle the weight and the angles, and we plan access points during the on-site estimate so nothing gets stuck against a fence post.

Heavy Furniture and Large Item Moves
Heavy furniture movers earn their keep on the pieces no one wants to deal with. Sectional sofas that have to come out a back door. Antique armoires too wide for the staircase. Marble-topped buffets, sleeper sofas, oversized executive desks, dining tables built for twelve, four-poster beds with carved headboards. Each piece gets evaluated during the walkthrough, padded for transit, and disassembled when the route through the house demands it.

Gym, Game Room, and Specialty Equipment
Treadmills, ellipticals, Peloton bikes, weight racks, multi-station home gyms, arcade cabinets, foosball tables, slot machines, and the kinds of basement collections that built up over decades. Our specialty movers handle disassembly when possible, custom padding when not, and the right crew size for whatever the piece weighs.

Antiques, Art, and High-Value Pieces
For one-of-a-kind antiques, oversized framed art, statuary, and museum-quality pieces, we offer white glove handling with custom crating built to spec. Heirloom pieces that have been in the family for generations get the slower pace and extra padding the situation deserves.

icon-knowledge

15 Years of Local Experience

We have been moving pianos, safes, pool tables, and oversized furniture across Massachusetts since 2011. We know how to plan a route through a finished basement with a tight turn at the landing. We know which doorframes need to come off and which can stay. That kind of judgment only comes from years of doing the work on real homes.

icon-licensed

Fully Licensed and Properly Insured

We carry cargo, automotive, general liability, and workers compensation insurance, which matters more on a large item job than almost any other kind of move. Our certificates of insurance are available on request and we routinely file them with property management offices in Lexington, Arlington, Cambridge, Bedford, and Belmont 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 on a large item job is a Home Team Moving employee trained through our hands-on program. We do not hire day labor or hand specialty pieces off to a third party. Heavy and high-value moves are exactly the kind of work where a crew that knows each other and trusts each other matters most.

Always Improving Your Experience

Large item moves are everyday work for us, but we know each one is a major event for you. The piece in question is often valuable, fragile, or irreplaceable. We continually refine our process and welcome your feedback so every specialty move is safer and smoother than the last.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire large item movers in Lexington, MA?

Arrow Down

Large item moves are billed hourly based on the crew size and equipment your piece requires, with the total shaped by the weight of the item, the access at both addresses, and any disassembly or specialty handling needed. A standalone upright piano move runs very differently from a baby grand coming out of a finished basement. The on-site estimate is what produces an accurate number for your specific piece, and after our three-hour minimum, billing runs in 15-minute increments.

Can you move a piano on its own without a full house move?

Arrow Down

Yes, standalone piano moves are some of the most common large item jobs we book. Whether the piano is moving across town, between rooms in the same house, or out of state, we handle it as a dedicated job with the right crew and equipment. Uprights, consoles, spinets, baby grands, and full grands are all routine work for our piano movers.

How heavy of a safe can you move?

Arrow Down

Our team handles home safes, commercial safes, and gun safes from a few hundred pounds up to roughly 1,500 pounds, including up and down stairs. For exceptionally heavy commercial vaults, we coordinate during the walkthrough to confirm equipment, crew size, and access points. Safe moves require careful planning, and we never improvise the route.

Do you disassemble and reassemble pool tables?

Arrow Down

Yes. Pool tables cannot be moved assembled because the slate, rails, and felt have to be separated for transport. Our pool table movers handle full disassembly at the pickup location, transport the components safely, reassemble the table at the new address, level the slate, and replace the felt when needed. The table is left ready to play, not in a pile of parts on the basement floor.

Can you move hot tubs, gym equipment, and pieces with awkward access?

Arrow Down

Absolutely. Hot tubs, treadmills, home gym systems, Peloton bikes, arcade cabinets, and other oversized specialty pieces are routine work for our crews. We plan the access route during the walkthrough, bring the right dollies and straps, and disassemble whenever the piece allows for it. Pieces that cannot fit through standard doorways often come out a different way than they went in, and we work that out before move day.

Do you handle antique furniture and high-value pieces?

Arrow Down

Yes. Antique armoires, marble tables, oversized framed art, statuary, and museum-quality pieces are handled with white glove care, extra padding, and custom crating when needed. For heirloom pieces with sentimental or financial value, we slow the pace and build the move around the piece, not around a stopwatch.
