I cannot recommend WellKnown enough. The team arrived EARLY, packed quickly, and graciously moved all of my things into my new 5th floor walkup without a single complaint.

Local Experience - Movers from Raleigh to Boston and surrounding areas

We frequently travel the I-95 and I-85 highways, so we know exactly how to stay out of traffic and plan an efficient route. With our in-depth knowledge of Boston's narrow streets, parking regulations (parking permit in Boston), and loading docks, we ensure your move goes smoothly. Do you need a Boston truck parking permit or Certificate of Insurance (COI) for an apartment move? We've got you covered! Our service area covers not only Boston, but also the surrounding areas of Cambridge, Brookline, Newton, Somerville, and more. Whether you're moving into an urban high-rise, a suburban home, or a college dormitory, we customize our services to meet your needs.

Professional movers

Every move is handled by an experienced team led by a team leader with at least three years of long-distance moving experience. Our trained and tested movers can easily handle the assembly and disassembly of furniture, packing any fragile electronics and handling valuable items such as antiques. Our fully-equipped moving trucks are equipped with all the necessary equipment to ensure the safety of your belongings. Learn more about us.

Personalized service

We offer a pre-move consultation that will cover the timing of the job, the quantity of your belongings and special requests such as overnight storage, packing and unpacking services, handling particularly fragile items or the possibility of splitting the payment if someone else is moving in the same direction. Whatever your needs, we'll develop a customized plan so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.

Fixed and transparent prices.

Our long-distance transports are carried out at a flat rate - with no additional charges for extra flights of stairs, elevator or distance of parking from your door. Additional charges are only for highly specialized or particularly heavy items such as pianos.

💡 For reservations, we require a fully refundable deposit, which is refundable if you cancel at least two weeks prior to moving in. But no deposit is needed for small moves!

About Boston

Boston is a historic and vibrant city, home to attractions such as the Freedom Trail, Fenway Park, and Harvard University. Boston boasts a thriving technology industry, financial sector, and world-class universities. Neighborhoods such as the South End, Beacon Hill and Cambridge have their own unique charm, offering a mix of history, culture and vibrant city life.

However, moving to Boston comes with challenges - narrow streets, strict parking regulations, and unpredictable weather. In contrast, Raleigh offers a lower cost of living, a booming job market in the Research Triangle, and laid-back Southern charm. If you're looking for the perfect balance, Boston suburbs such as Newton, Brookline, and Medford offer more space and convenient commuter access to the city.

Best moving experience I've ever had Ismail and his team were absolutely incredible! They were efficient, kind, knowledgeable, and able to help problem solve with us to make our move as smooth as possible. They were communicative and timely, and we couldnt recommend Well Known Movers more highly to anyone who needs to move across the US.

We had an excellent experience with… We had an excellent experience with Slava and Yuri! They came with all the needed equipment, wrapped up our furniture expertly, and managed to swiftly carry everything downstairs and then upstairs in our new place. Very strong and friendly. They handled the furniture with care, that's huge for us. Thanks y'all!

Sasha helped us move 2 apartments into a house in less than 4 hours! He was professional and took good care of my belongings. Everything was wrapped up to ensure it wouldn’t be damaged and transported safely. I would absolutely use them again!

Fast, efficient, friendly, cost-effective movers! This is my second time hiring WellKnown Moving. Both experiences have been great. The movers are super friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make sure things are where you want them and that everything is secure in the truck. They are also very fast and efficient. The third mover called out sick and the two guys who we had moved everything practically right on estimate for 3 men. Highly recommend!

Boston To DC - Very Smooth Ismail, Aybek and their team were professional, communicative, timely and thorough throughout my move from Boston to DC. My wife and I were really impressed by the entire experience, from the quote process up to the final box being placed. Absolutely on top of things. I am glad we found them for our move and would happily work with them again.

The two men that helped me with my move were amazing- right on time, nothing broken, and reasonably priced, would recommend!

Alex and his partner did a great job! They moved me out of my North Raleigh apartment to Goldsboro right at the minimum time listed in my quote. They disassembled my bed and dining set with ease. Would 1000% recommend this company as they’re affordable and move everything quickly and safely!

Fantastic Crew!!! The moving crew firstly called and let us know they were running early and asked if they could start earlier than scheduled. Once arrived everyone was very professional and made sure to asses the items being moved and immediately got to work. Each person worked hard and efficiently the entire time. Once we moved, the crew began to unload it a quick but careful pace, ensuring that items were not damaged or that walls and such were kept free of smudges or damage. Will definitely use them again when we move in the future! The only downside is that we were never told that travel time (what I assume is to and from the job from their home base) is charged as well. Total time ended up being 1 hour more than the actual move itself.

They were great to work with, showed up on time, worked hard all day, and had a great quality of move. There was no damage and they were extremely professional. I would absolutely use them again!
