Mark's Moving & Storage

Mark's Moving & Storage has been packing trucks in Westborough since 1979, when a Northeastern University student named Mark Silverman used his credit card to buy a used truck and start moving furniture for extra cash. The company says Silverman still runs it today as President and CEO, and it now covers residential, commercial and long-distance moves out of MetroWest and the greater Boston area, with storage available alongside. The reviews that pile up on Google describe the same experience over and over: a crew that shows up on time, handles furniture carefully, and gets a stressful day done without drama. Across 349 Google ratings the average sits at 4.9 stars, with 232 reviews on file dating back to 2021. Customers name their movers by name — Felipe, Miguel, George, Damon, Brandon Kraemer — and several have called the company back for a second, third, or, in one case, a seventh or eighth move over 35 years. One family used them for three separate moves that each involved storage; another needed a same-day rescue with 24 hours' notice and got it. What sets this crew apart beyond the trucks is how often a move here turns into a donation run. Reviewers repeatedly describe the company arranging pickups of unwanted furniture for local charities — Household Goods, the Westborough Food Pantry — and it sponsors an annual "Fill a Truck" donation drive with Circle of Hope. Westborough's local TV outlet named it Best Sustainable Business in 2025, and a 2014 profile traces the founding story back to Silverman's college years. Worth knowing before booking: in a December 2025 review, one customer described a crew member's inappropriate behavior toward her teenage daughter that escalated into a shouting match — an uncomfortable account, and the only one of its kind in an otherwise clean recent run (22 reviews in the last six months, none negative). It's worth asking how the company staffs and supervises crews, particularly for moves that put strangers in close quarters with family members. For a straightforward local, long-distance, or storage-involved move — especially one where donating unwanted items along the way would help — Mark's has a long, consistently well-reviewed record behind it.
