Eastside Movers

Eastside Movers is a locally owned, owner-operated moving company based in Franklin, Massachusetts, founded by Tyler Trefrey. The business describes itself as family owned and not affiliated with any franchise, serving households and businesses for local and long-distance moves across the Northeast. Google shows a 4.9-star average across 109 ratings, with 100 reviews collected since 2023 and steady praise continuing into September 2026. Reviewers repeatedly single out care with heavy and awkward items: crews are credited with disassembling and moving a home gym without damage, carrying a nearly one-ton gun safe with zero damage, getting a king mattress up a flight of stairs, and swapping a cast-iron boiler cleanly. Owner Tyler Trefrey is named directly in many reviews as staying personally in contact throughout a job, including stepping in on short notice after a different company ghosted a customer the day after a scheduled move. A theme worth asking about before booking is pricing accuracy against the initial estimate. One reviewer reported the final bill came in 20% over the quoted price, and two others describe estimates as unreliable, with one saying a capped estimate was exceeded anyway. These complaints are a minority among the overwhelmingly positive reviews but appear across multiple years, so it is worth confirming in writing exactly what a quote covers before the move. The Better Business Bureau lists the company with a B+ grade, though it is not BBB accredited and its file was only opened in December 2025. Eastside Movers looks like a strong option for local and long-distance household moves, especially jobs involving bulky or delicate items, provided the pricing terms are confirmed up front.
