Trowt Movers

Trowt Movers is a Beverly moving company that's been in the same family for over a century — its site and BBB profile both trace it back to 1917, run today by Peter B. Trowt as president and Jon Trowt as a principal, with about 21 employees. It handles residential and commercial moves, piano moving, packing, storage and trailer leasing, and junk removal across New England. What comes through most clearly is repeat, word-of-mouth loyalty. On r/SalemMA and r/northshore, neighbors have recommended them by name across four years running — one Redditor in 2022 said they'd used Trowt three times, most recently that January, calling it a local business with very reasonable prices; another in 2025 said they and family members have used them several times. A 2026 Reddit post called the team fantastic and efficient, and a separate mention describes hiring them to move things into storage and calling the crew careful, fast, and funny. Google backs this up with a 4.3-star average from 48 ratings, and BBB gives it an A+ letter grade. That A+ grade comes without BBB accreditation, and BBB shows no customer reviews or complaint counts on its profile — so beyond the recommendations above, there isn't a formal complaint history to check. For a New England move — local or a bit further, including piano or storage needs — this looks like a well-liked, established local option; the recommendations here come from repeat customers and neighbors, which counts for a lot in a small market like the North Shore.
