What Does Moving in Fenway-Kenmore Cost?
in Fenway Cost? Local Fenway moves are billed by the hour. Key cost factors: Floor level: A fifth-floor walk-up takes dramatically longer than a ground-floor or elevator-equipped unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fenway Moves Can I move on a Red Sox game day?
Yes, but we recommend against it when possible. If a game day is unavoidable, we schedule to complete the move before the pre-game crowds arrive (typically 2 to 3 hours before first pitch) or after the stadium clears. Morning moves on evening game days are the most practical approach. We check the full.
Fenway Park schedule, including concerts and events, when booking any Fenway move. How do I know if I need a DCR permit or a Boston permit?
Several Fenway roads, including Park Drive, the Fenway, Charlesgate East and West, the Riverway, and the Jamaicaway, are under DCR jurisdiction, not the City of Boston. A standard Boston moving permit is not valid on these roads. We identify the correct jurisdiction during the estimate process.
If you are unsure, contact DCR at 617-626-1250 or ask us to check your address. How long does a fifth-floor walk-up move take?
A one-bedroom on the fifth floor of a Fenway walk-up with a two-person crew typically takes 4 to 6 hours. Adding a third crew member can reduce that by 30% or more. The stair count and furniture size are the biggest variables. We recommend a three-person crew for any move above the third floor in a building without an elevator.
