Paulista Moving is a one-person moving company on Great Rd in Maynard, and its paper trail is a lot thinner than its tenure suggests. The Better Business Bureau puts the start date at April 2007 — nineteen years — lists a single employee, and gives the company an A+ grade, though it is not BBB accredited. What customers have written is short and old. Google shows a 4.8 average across six ratings, but only one of those carries any text, and it dates to 2021. That account is mixed: the crew arrived on time and was friendly, but the job stretched across the whole day instead of the quoted seven hours, and the bill came in $800 above the estimate. The customer came away unsure the company was equipped for big moves. A Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration company snapshot lists a USDOT number for the business — worth checking directly for current operating status and insurance if your move crosses a state line. So pin the estimate down before anything goes on the truck. Ask how the hourly clock works, what happens when a job runs past the quoted window, and — if you are moving a full house rather than an apartment — how many movers and how much truck are actually coming. For a small local move the stakes are low. For a big one, that 2021 review is the question worth settling first.

Movers arrived on time but move was slow. We ended up paying $800 more than what was quoted since the move ended up taking all day as opposed to 7hrs. Movers were friendly but not sure they are equipped for big moves.
