What Does Moving in Framingham Cost?
Local Framingham moves are billed by the hour. Key cost factors:
Home type and size: A Campanelli ranch with a two- or three-person crew may take 4 to 6 hours. A large Colonial or estate home with a four-person crew can take a full day or more. Apartments along Route 9 are typically 3 to 5 hours.
Basement and storage volume: The contents of basements, garages, sheds, and attics often add 30% to 50% more time than the living floors alone. We account for this in the estimate.
No permit fees: Framingham does not charge moving permit fees.
Long-distance pricing: Moves from Framingham to out-of-state destinations are priced by weight and distance.
Typical cost considerations include:
- Hourly rates usually starting around $140-$190 for two movers and a truck
- Larger homes requiring 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 Framingham?
No. Framingham does not have a moving permit system. Most homes have driveways, and our truck parks in or adjacent to the driveway. For apartments along Route 9, we confirm building-specific move-in procedures in advance.
What is a Campanelli ranch?
Campanelli ranches are one-story, slab-on-grade homes built by the Campanelli Brothers after World War II to house returning soldiers and their families. They are found in large numbers throughout Saxonville and greater Framingham. These homes are single-story with standard dimensions, making them relatively quick to load. The primary scope consideration is the basement, which typically adds significant volume to the move.
How long does a typical Framingham move take?
It depends on the home type. A Campanelli ranch or apartment may take 4 to 6 hours with a two- or three-person crew. A larger colonial or split-level takes 6 to 9 hours. Estate properties in Nobscot may require a full day or more with a four-person crew. We provide a detailed time estimate after a walkthrough.
