Efficient Moving Services

The same names keep showing up across five years of reviews — Alex, Juan, Carlos, Sergio — the kind of consistency that suggests a stable crew rather than rotating day labor. Efficient Moving Services is based in Waltham and, per its own site, is a licensed and insured company handling residential and commercial local and long-distance moves, packing, unpacking, and storage across Greater Boston. The company says it's been in the moving business for over 12 years, and lists a Google Guaranteed Provider badge and a BBB A+ accreditation. Its Google rating sits at 4.9 stars from 64 ratings, and the written record backs that up with specifics: a crew that disassembled and reassembled a 4th-floor apartment's furniture and had a family unloaded on the South Shore by noon (2021), an office move handled "without a hitch" where Carlos personally stayed to help reconfigure furniture afterward (2023), and a Charlestown family's move into storage and back out a month later with nothing lost or damaged. Pricing comes up unprompted, too — several reviewers call it lower than competitors' quotes, and one from 2021 credits the company for bringing its own furniture-wrapping plastic, something they said no other mover had done for them. Only one review breaks from the five-star pattern: a customer in 2022 gave four stars after a four-bedroom pack-out and setup ran a marathon 16 hours in a single day, when they felt it should have spanned two — even so, they still called the packers professional, prompt, and helpful, and said nothing arrived damaged. For a local or long-distance move in the Boston area — especially one involving an apartment building, an office, or a house full of belongings that need real packing — the five-year track record here is deep and remarkably consistent. If the job is a big, multi-room one, it's worth asking upfront how they'll pace a long day so it doesn't turn into a single 16-hour push.
