Walter's Moving Company LLC

Walter's Moving Company runs out of Reading, and its Google page currently shows 4.9 stars from 72 ratings — a number that holds up across a five-year run of reviews. The company handles local and long-distance moves around Massachusetts and into neighboring New England states, with Walter himself named directly by nearly everyone who writes in. Most recently, in May, Walter and a two-person crew moved a family from a two-bedroom, two-bath place into a larger three-bedroom home, described as handled safely and efficiently. That's consistent with the years before it: across roughly 44 reviews stretching back to 2021, the large majority are five stars, with fragile items and careful handling coming up again and again. The one real exception is a single review describing a move where several items were damaged, calling the crew amateur — a clear outlier against the broader pattern, but worth asking about directly, especially insurance and how breakables get protected. It's also worth knowing that only one review has landed in the past six months, so recent volume is thinner than the five-year history suggests. For a local or long-distance move, including awkward items like a piano, this reads like a small operation with a mostly strong track record — confirm how they handle high-value or fragile pieces before booking, given that one damage report in the history.
