Michael's Moving & Storage

Michael's Moving & Storage is a moving company based in Boston and Waltham, and a 2026 customer moving across town said Hilbert, Manuel and Alex squeezed a sectional into a tiny elevator and put a rug down to that customer's liking. The company's site says it was founded in Boston by a Bostonian and claims 26+ years of experience, with local, long-distance, commercial and residential moves plus packing and storage. On Google it holds 4.9 stars from 1,338 ratings. A 2026 customer moving from Boston to Sarasota, FL said a team led by Felix wrapped the furniture, including a piano, and a team led by Hilbert got the piano to the second floor with no elevator available. A 2026 customer said a five-bedroom home was moved with two full trucks in 4.5 hours. A 2026 customer said Eder, Will and Elki moved a couch around a tight staircase that other movers could not. In 2024, a customer said Eder, Daniel and Sigfredo arrived at 8AM on the dot and, at the new place, finished reassembly, placement, unwrapping and hanging in three hours. A 2026 Reddit commenter in r/boston said the person who set up the move recommended moving days for lower pricing. A 2026 customer who booked three movers at $199 an hour said the movers arrived at 9:57 a.m. for an 8–9 a.m. window, did not have the floor-protection materials the office had promised for newly refinished floors, and charged about $399 for extra movers without saying there would be a charge. A 2026 customer said an estimate in the $600–$800 range ended up costing $1600+ for a one-bedroom move, and that items were damaged and one went missing. A 2026 customer said dispatch kept giving 5- and 10-minute arrival times for hours, and the movers arrived at 6pm, three hours after the end of a 1–3pm window. A 2026 customer who had used the company a few times said the most recent salesman's quotes were followed by extra add-ons at the end. In 2025, a customer said the company was subcontracted for a move from NH to TX, the items were damaged in a fire, and the insurance company offered $900 for items worth over $20K.
