Friendly, Professional Team
Our movers are courteous, respectful, and trained to handle all types of items. From delicate glasswdition: First Period and antique homes require slower, more careful handling than modern construction. A move from a 17th-century home in the APD takes significantly more time per item than the same volume in a newer home.
Home size: A downtown condo may take 3 to 4 hours with a two-person crew. A four-bedroom colonial with a three-person crewtypically takes 6 to 9 hours.
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 fnr 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 Ipswich?
No. Ipswich does not have a moving permit system. However, moves from homes within the Architectural Preservation District require extra care for original features. We assess every home during the walkthrough and plan our protection measures accordingly.
How do you protect original features in First Period homes?
We use floor runners on all original hardwood and wide-plank floors, padded corner guards on every doorframe and piece of trim, individual blanket wrapping on all furniture, and we work at a controlled pace designed to prevent contact between items and original surfaces. For homes with colonial-era stairways and low doorframes, we measure clearances during the walkthrough and plan the routing of every large item in advance.
Can you move during summer when beach traffic is heavy?
Yes, but we recommend early morning start times for moves near Argilla Road, the town center, and other beach-traffic corridors during summer weekends. We factor seasonal traffic into our scheduling and can adjust timing to avoid the heaviest periods.
Do you handle farm properties with barns and outbuildings?
Yes. We inventory every structure on the property during the walkthrough, including barns, workshops, garden sheds, and detached garages. The estimate captures the full sd tle preservation iton original it mystarl.
