ELATE MOVING LLC

Elate Moving runs as the Boston branch of a multi-state moving company that says it set out to redefine moving in 2015, and now handles residential, commercial, fine-art, and international jobs. Its stated service area stretches from Provincetown and Lexington through Boston into New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Washington, DC. The company names Kevin Britt as founder, president, and CEO, and says it has been in business about 10 years. The thing that stands out across nearly fifty Google ratings, dated between 2022 and 2025 and almost entirely five stars, is how often the same words come up: on time, careful, efficient — with crews called out by name. In a 2025 review, one customer described an interstate move where the crew packed and loaded, then finished an eight-hour-plus drive and moved everything into the new house the same day. A 2021 Angi review put a number on the high end of what they take on: about $35,000 to pack and move a 12,000-square-foot house of furniture from Greenwich to New Canaan over three days — crystal, glass, and fine art included — without breakage. A separate 2022 HomeAdvisor review for a $4,500 move describes a two-bedroom Brooklyn apartment packed and loaded in three and a half hours, then unloaded in Boston the next morning in under three. More than one reviewer mentions hiring the crew again after a first move went well. Two things are worth asking about before booking. A 2021 Angi review, at three stars, said the crew pushed hard for a large tip and came away unhappy about it — worth clarifying gratuity expectations up front. And one HomeAdvisor review sits at 1.5 stars with no comment attached, so there's no way to know what went wrong there. Elate looks built for a bigger move — a long-distance or interstate relocation, or one with fragile, high-value belongings that need real care in transit.
