What Does Moving in Concord Cost?
Local Concord moves are billed by the hour. Concord’s housing stock ranges enormously, from West Concord condos to multi-million-dollar estates, so move scope varies dramatically.
Home size and volume: The primary cost driver. A two-bedroom West Concord home with a three-person crew may take 4 to 6 hours. A 5,000+ square foot estate with a six-person crew can take 2 full days including packing.
Antique home complexity: Homes with narrow colonial stairways, low doorframes, and sensitive original features take more time per item than modern construction.
Typical cost considerations include:
- Hourly rates usually starting around $140-$190 for two movers and a truck
- Larger homes requiring three or fourmovers, often $190-$280 per hour
- Additional time for stairs, long carry distances, or heavy furniture
- Packing and unpacking services, if requested
Requesting a detailed estimate in advance helps ensure pricing reflects the actual scope of your move.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a moving permit in Concord?
No. Concord does not have a moving permit system. Most homes have driveways, and our truck parks in or adjacent to the driveway. For homes near Monument Square where street parking is metered, we position the truck to avoid any conflicts.
Can you move items from a home built in the 1700s?
Yes. Concord has many pre-Revolutionary homes with narrow stairways, low doorframes, and original features that need protection. We assess every antique home individually, measure doorways and stairways during the walkthrough, and plan our approach to move every item without damaging the property or its historic character.
How long does a large Concord estate move take?
It depends on the home size and scope. A 4,000 to 5,000 square foot home with packing services commonly takes 2 to 3 days total: one to two days for packing and one to two days for loading and transport. We provide a detailed timeline during the estimate process.

Yes. Route 2 connects Concord directly to I-95 and I-495 for highway access to any destination. We provide weight-based pricing, dedicated trucks, and binding estimates for long-distance moves. Communication is maintained from pickup through delivery.
