Piece by Piece Movers

Piece by Piece Movers has been moving households and offices out of Woburn since 2005 — 21 years by the Better Business Bureau's count — with ten employees and Christopher Mearn as president. The work list runs past boxes and couches: packing, crating, hoisting, pianos, antiques, fine art, office furniture, files and electronics. The bureau grades the company A+, while stating plainly that customer reviews are not part of that letter. The one review its page does display is a serious one — a customer alleging belongings went missing during a move. No other customer account sits beside it, so there is no body of praise to weigh that against. Around Boston the name does circulate. In a Reddit thread about long-distance moves it came up alongside Gentle Giant as a company worth pricing, which tells you people know it, not that anyone vouched for it. If they make your shortlist, the specialty handling is the reason to call them — the crating, the piano, the artwork — and the rest is paperwork. Get the valuation coverage in writing, inventory the load before it goes on the truck, and walk the empty truck with the crew before they pull away. Ask directly how the complaint on their BBB page was resolved; a company with 21 years behind it should have an answer ready.
