What Does Moving in Everett Cost?
Local Everett moves are billed by the hour. Key cost factors:
Building type and floor level: A ground-floor apartment or an elevator-equipped new building moves faster than a third-floor double-decker walk-up. Stair count is the largest time variable in Everett’s older housing stock.
Truck proximity: On narrow Everett streets without a driveway, the truck may need to park further from the front door. Early morning start times help secure better positioning.
No permit fees: Everett does not charge moving permit fees, saving you the $69 to $109 cost of a Boston permit.
Unit size: A studio or one-bedroom with a two-person crew may take 2 to 4 hours.
Typical cost considerations include:
- Hourly rates usually starting around $140-$190 for two movers and a truck
- Larger homesrequiring three or four movers, 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 Everett?
No. Everett does not have a moving permit system. Our truck parks on the street during active loading and unloading. Be aware of street sweeping schedules (enforced April through November) and any posted parking restrictions on your specific street.
Will casino traffic affect my move?
It can, especially for moves near Lower Broadway. Encore Boston Harbor generates significant traffic on evenings and weekends. We schedule moves in the casino corridor during morning hours when traffic is lightest. For moves in the residential neighborhoods further from the casino (Glendale, Woodlawn, the Village), casino traffic is generally not a factor.
Is Everett similar to Somerville for moving?
There are similarities. Both cities have a dense, multi-family housing stock dominated by double- and triple-deckers on narrow streets. Both are undergoing rapiddevelopment with new luxury apartment construction. The key differences: Everett does not require moving permits (Somerville charges $40/day), Everett has casino-related traffic that Somerville does not, and Everett’s new development is more concentrated along the Lower Broadway corridor compared to Somerville’s more dispersed growth pa
Do you serve the new apartment buildings near the casino?
Yes. We serve all new developments along Lower Broadway and in the Commercial Triangle. We provide COI documentation at no extra charge and coordinate with building management on freight elevator reservations, loading dock access, and move-in windows.
