Joppa Moving Services is a small moving crew based in Newburyport, working across Essex County and into southern New Hampshire — Amesbury, Haverhill, Andover, Salem, Gloucester, and towns like Exeter and Stratham. The company says it was built around stress-free, transparent, fairly-priced moves, and on Thumbtack it's held Top Pro status in both 2024 and 2025, with 4.9 stars across 160 ratings and 266 jobs booked. What reviewers keep singling out is the team itself — Jeff quoting the job, and Greg working the floor with a rotating cast (Carlos, Reggie) who show up on time and handle furniture carefully. One customer who normally dreads hidden moving fees called the quote clear and the crew transparent; another said Jeff's price beat every other estimate she'd gotten. In a 2025 review, a customer described the crew moving heavy furniture down a staircase with turns, arriving with all the right equipment and leaving behind blankets to protect items in storage. In another 2025 review, Greg and Reggie helped pack a U-Haul for an out-of-state move on short notice. The business describes itself on Thumbtack as woman-owned, founded by a team with a decade of moving and waste-removal experience, and it offers senior and veteran discounts. The large majority of its 160 Thumbtack ratings are five-star, though a small share (about 2%) come in at one star — not detailed in the reviews quoted here. For a local or short-notice move, packing help, or a junk-removal cleanout in the North Shore/Merrimack Valley area, Joppa is worth a call — ask about their current quote process given how often reviewers mention it as a differentiator.
