Move and Improve, Inc.

The thing that makes Move and Improve unusual is right there in the name: the same Newton crew that carries your sofa can also repaint the new place and put the furniture back together. Its Thumbtack profile says the company combined its construction and moving businesses on purpose, so one call covers the move and whatever the new house needs. Customers who used both liked that. In a 2018 review, a repeat customer described hiring Alex first to prepare the place they were moving into — repainting and minor repairs, completed on time and, in their words, very well — before hiring him again for the move itself. A 2020 reviewer who said they had moved quite a few times called it the most reliable and efficient mover they had used, describing a crew that arrived exactly at the scheduled time, wrapped all the furniture in pads and plastic wrap, and helped pack boxes. In 2022 another singled out a crew member, Eugene, for packing the truck so nothing came out damaged. On Thumbtack the company holds 5.0 across 32 ratings, all five stars, and has been hired nine times through the platform. Its BBB page is an A+, though it is not accredited, and Alex Krasikov, the manager, has a background check on file with Thumbtack. Two things to pin down. The written accounts have gone quiet — the newest is August 2022 — so ask for recent references rather than leaning on the star count. And crew size is genuinely unclear: Thumbtack's profile states 12 employees while BBB records two, which matters if you are moving a whole house on a deadline. For a local move where the new place also needs paint, repairs or assembly, this is a sensible one-call option. Settle the crew size and the mover's insurance for your date before booking.
