Anton's Movers

Reviewers of Anton's Movers don't just praise the company — they name the crew. Sasha shows up in a dozen recent write-ups, alongside George, Mykola, Dima and Paata, and several customers are on their third or fourth move with the same team. The company works out of Newton, handling local Boston-area moves and regular interstate runs — New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Philadelphia, Chicago, and up to Maine. Its Google page sits at 4.9 stars across 435 ratings, with 72 reviews in the past six months alone — all but one of them positive. Two things keep coming up. First, the quote holds: July 2026 reviewers wrote that the fixed-rate price was honored as promised and the online estimate matched the final bill exactly, with one adding that rival companies said they couldn't come close to the number. Second, the crews are fast without being careless — a June 2026 customer's one-bedroom went from a Boston walk-up to New York City with nothing damaged and the truck on time for a morning delivery despite city traffic. The word-of-mouth reaches past Google, too. Anton's has been recommended in Boston-area Reddit threads since 2021, when a commenter called them great and inexpensive; a 2022 r/massachusetts thread praised them as fast, affordable and respectful of the property, and the name surfaced again in an r/boston thread this August. Three complaints are worth reading before you book. The serious one is from June 2026: a customer moving a three-bedroom apartment says the final bill came to nearly $8,000 against an original quote of about $1,700. A December 2025 reviewer reported a broken dresser and a bottle that went missing during the move, and a March 2024 review called the movers rude and short-tempered. Set against the steady run of five-star write-ups around them they're the exceptions, but the billing one is specific enough to act on. For a local move or an East Coast relocation, Anton's is an easy shortlist pick: deep recent history, crews people ask for by name, and pricing that usually lands where the quote said it would. Get that quote in writing, confirm exactly what it covers and what could change it, and you'll know the number before the truck rolls.
