Verified record
J. Bresnahan Co. is a family-run mover and storage company based in Haverhill, MA, with additional locations in Plaistow, Raymond, and Kingston, NH. The company says it has operated since 1890 and offers free estimates. Its written Google reviews are limited, and both describe rocky experiences: a February 2026 review described a late arrival and add-on fees not agreed to beforehand, and a 2023 review described a packing fee charged despite the customer having packed everything themselves.
I hired these guys last year. They showed up two hours late and made rude comments about the home I was moving out of. They also added extra fees for moving items like my TVs, which I would have been happy to move myself if I had been consulted beforehand. To top it off, my TVs were scuffed during the move. Overall, these guys added a lot of unnecessary stress to what was already a difficult day. I recommend looking elsewhere.
I recently used this company for my move, and I must express my disappointment with their service. Despite having packed everything into boxes, containers, and bags – all taped and labeled – I was still charged a packing fee. Moreover, the movers didn't assist with disassembling my joint platform bed, which requires no tools and is a quick task. I had to handle this myself, including lifting and moving the mattress. The service I received felt dishonest and lacked the professionalism I expected. Potential customers should be aware and ensure clear communication about fees and services rendered to avoid similar experiences.

Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from J. Bresnahan Co.. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
