Stark Moving and Storage Inc

Stark Moving and Storage is a Boston-based mover with branch offices across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Illinois, handling everything from a one-bedroom apartment across town to long-distance relocations — one recent review describes a move from Woburn, MA all the way to Morrisville, NC. The volume of positive feedback here is hard to overstate: 847 reviews going back to 2021, a 4.9-star average across 381 Google ratings on its main listing, and additional branch listings each running 4.8 to 5 stars on ratings ranging from two dozen to well over a hundred. Reviewers keep naming specific crew members — Alex, Vaso, Tristan, Doug, Jeff, George, Roma among them — and describing the same things: furniture carefully wrapped and disassembled and reassembled, arrivals on time even in Boston summer heat or icy winter stairwells, and moves finished faster than expected. One reviewer says a job that took days to pack took the crew about 25 minutes to load. Several customers mention using the company more than once, and a 2026 review describes a move from a third-floor walk-up in icy February conditions handled without incident. The Better Business Bureau has accredited Stark since February 2023 and gives it an A+ grade. That said, two 2026 reviews — from June 7 and June 28 — describe a matching complaint almost word for word: an estimate of $600-800 for a move into storage that turned into a bill around $1,500 on moving day. The near-identical wording suggests this may be the same incident described twice rather than two separate customers, but either way it's a real account worth asking about directly — get a written, itemized estimate before moving day, especially if storage is part of the job. For a local or long-distance move in the Boston area, the volume and consistency of the praise here — hundreds of reviews describing careful, efficient, on-time crews — is about as deep a track record as a mover can build. Just lock in the estimate in writing up front, given the one pricing complaint on record.
