Move and Improve, Inc.

Move and Improve is a Newton moving company that built its name on doing more than just moving — the company's FAQ says it deliberately combined its moving and construction businesses so a customer can book a move alongside painting, minor repairs or furniture assembly in one call. Alongside local, long-distance and commercial moving, storage and packing, it takes on home renovation and improvement work for the same customers. Manager Alex Krasikov's team gets consistently strong marks for careful, professional moving work. On Thumbtack, the company holds a perfect 5.0 out of 5 across 32 ratings, every single one five stars, with 27 project photos on file. In a 2020 review, a repeat customer called the company the most reliable and customer-oriented mover they'd used, describing a crew that arrived exactly on schedule and wrapped every piece of furniture in pads and plastic before the move. A 2021 reviewer said the crew was prompt, fast and careful with their belongings, and in a 2022 review a customer singled out a mover named Eugene for packing the truck carefully enough that nothing was damaged. The improvement side shows up too: in a 2018 review, a customer described hiring Alex to repaint and make minor repairs to a new space ahead of a move, calling the work timely and well done. The Better Business Bureau gives the company an A+ grade, though it isn't BBB-accredited, and records no customer complaints. Where the two profiles disagree is on the basics: the BBB puts the company at 9 years in business, incorporated in 2017, with 2 employees, while Thumbtack's own profile states 12 employees and 11 years — a gap worth asking about directly rather than assuming either number. For a Newton-area move that might also need some painting or small repairs done at the same time, the reviews here point to a crew that's careful with belongings and shows up when it says it will; just confirm current staffing and how long the company has actually been operating before booking.
