Restoration Movers - North Shore MA Movers

Restoration Movers, operating online as Mass Bay Movers, is a North Shore moving and storage company founded in November 2015 by Sal Barresi III, with offices in Everett, Peabody and Wrentham. The company says it grew from one warehouse into those three Massachusetts locations and now covers the North Shore, South Shore, Greater Boston, MetroWest, Merrimack Valley and New Hampshire, handling local and long-distance moves alongside water and fire damage pack-outs. The volume of feedback here is hard to overstate: nearly 780 written reviews since 2021, 82 of them in just the last six months with none negative, and Google shows 4.9- and 5.0-star averages across its listings. The same story repeats across hundreds of them — named crews (Yociel, Gustavo, William, Guillermo and dozens of others come up by name) who show up on time, wrap and protect furniture, disassemble and reassemble beds and tables, and get multi-day or multi-stop moves done without damage. Reviewers also point to fair, itemized pricing — one customer needing an interstate move on a week's notice got a broken-down quote within 24 hours, and another called the price fair next to a competing estimate. One account stands out from the rest: after a tree fell on a customer's house, the crew packed out the home, stored the contents for 13 months during repairs, and moved everything back in once the work was finished. Not every account is spotless. In an August 2025 review, one customer described the crew blocking a building's entrance and brushing off a request to clear the walkway for other residents. A Better Business Bureau review separately describes a framed piece that was damaged in a move and, rather than being disclosed, was covered with tape. One Reddit commenter also called a past experience with the company terrible despite its strong Google reviews — worth weighing against the sheer volume of positive accounts, though a nearby comment praising a competitor's lower quote reads as being about a different mover entirely, not this one. For a routine local or long-distance move, or a fire/water restoration pack-out, this is a company with a long, heavily reviewed track record behind it. Worth confirming upfront how the crew plans to handle shared spaces like building entrances on a move in a multi-tenant building, and getting any damage noted in writing before the truck leaves.
