Long Moving & Storage is a family-run outfit based in Westport, run by Perry and Carmel Long, that says its roots in the moving trade go back to 1868 even though the current LLC was formed in 2016. With BBB accreditation since 2018 and an A+ grade, and a spread of reviews running from 2021 through mid-2026, it has one of the deeper written records among local movers. The word that keeps showing up is communication. In a January 2026 review, a Realtor helping a client get moving estimates said Long was among the fastest to respond and the most thorough, immediately connecting her with a coordinator, Brandon, who gave a detailed quote. On moving day itself, the specifics repeat: crews wrapping furniture in blankets and plastic, threading heavy pieces carefully through doorways, and in one recent job muscling a 600-pound item into place in 90-degree heat. In a 2022 review, one customer said they used the company twice within months because the first move went well. The record isn't spotless, and the complaints are specific enough to take seriously. A 2024 review said the crew broke several items that had been deliberately set aside, didn't disclose the damage, and then refused to pay for it -- with the reviewer also describing a rude phone call with the operations manager. A separate 2023 review described being billed $1,261 against an original $675-800 estimate, including a $125 fuel surcharge that never showed up in the contract or the quote. An older, 2021 review described real damage to both belongings and the home itself, even while calling the crew hard workers. Before booking, it's worth pinning down the total cost in writing, including any surcharges, and asking directly how the company handles items damaged in transit. HomeAdvisor lists a Massachusetts trade license for the company, though that's the directory's own record rather than something checked against the state. For a standard local or regional move, Long's communication and care with belongings show up again and again in the record -- but given the billing and damage complaints on file, get the final number in writing before the truck shows up.
Great Company top to bottom. I reached out on short notice to have an Ice chest moved into place at our local business right before the long weekend. Instead of the excuse train I was met with “we will make it happen”. Great communication and explanation of scheduling and timing. When it came to the move, the team from Long Movers was a class act. Despite being the last job of the day, Ryan the team leader lead his team calmly and thoughtfully through a difficult 600lb item move in 90 degree heat. I will be using Long Movers for all our moving needs!
Great job by all. Happy to recommend this Company to anyone considering moving. From start to finish everyone was professional and courteous. We moved from Rhode Island to Maine without any problems. Thanks guys!!!!!
I was helping my Seller client get moving quotes for her property and long moving was one of the first responses and most detailed. They immediately set me up with their coordinator Brandon, who was thorough and gave me a nice detailed quote to be able to provide to her. They were extremely fast with scheduling and very accommodating even with a snowstorm on getting a reschedule within one day causing no delay on our end. The crew they sent over was very great. They did two different visits for us!! very careful with all the glass items and moved very heavy, solid wood furniture for us. They went above and beyond to offer help to my clients. Will definitely be recommending them in the future
Zachary and Liam were absolutely wonderful and made my move so smooth and painless from start to finish? You can tell they take pride in their work, don’t take shortcuts and make sure that your things make it to their new home in one piece. They are also incredibly polite and respectful of your home and make sure to be very thorough. If you are looking to move, I HIGHLY recommend using Long Moving Services. Brandon was also incredibly helpful and communicative when setting up everything in preparation for my move!
I had such a wonderful experience with Long Moving and Storage! They were able to book me on short notice and completely worked around my schedule, which was a huge relief. The team was professional, friendly, and incredibly efficient—everything you’d hope for on moving day. I couldn’t have asked for a better moving experience. Highly recommend!
