These guys are not only super-professional and effective, they move with precision and speed. They are also friendly, young guys (not surprising) but very mature (1 guy was a college student working summers and acted responsible beyond his years). I had a 4th floor apt with a a LOT of boxes and furniture and a non - working elevator. They sent out 6 guys, got the ap't empty within 2 hours, and then 4 went to the destination and unloaded in about 30 minutes. I could not have been more pleased. Highly recommend. Just be sure to ask about their minimums before you book. In my case, they came in at the absolute bottom of the estimate. And the big movers had much higher starting quotes. Will use again. read more

I couldn't recommend Small Haul movers enough! They were so kind in rescheduling with me during the snow storm, and was the easiest moving experience I had ever had. The two movers who came were kind, professional, and speedy! I was just moving a one bedroom and some miscellaneous items, but they still respected the time allowed and got me into my new apartment in a little over an hour. Amazing service! read more

I cannot recommend Small Haul Movers enough! We have used them four times from south to North Shore and all around Boston moves, each time has been executed perfectly! The most recent time we had Abe and John, who were rock stars! They handled all of our furniture with care while still being able to move everything quickly and efficiently. They were so nice and communicative throughout the process. We will definitely continue to use them for our future moves! read more

Do not use this moving company. They have stolen my deposit money and won't give it back to me. They also put a block on my number so I could not call them to inquire about when it was going to be returned. I am also calling Consumer Complaints on Channel 7. read more

Great initial experience, resulting in using them 2 more times. Unfortunately, the 4th experience was horrible... the crew brought too small a vehicle to move all of our belongings leaving us scrambling to personally move the remaining belongings ourselves. read more

Very reliable, easy to communicate with, prompt and courteous service. I moved furniture for over twenty years. I know a pro when I see one. Small Haul did the job and I could not be more pleased. read more

FANTASTIC! From start to finish this was the easiest and most reliable moving experience I've ever had (and I've moved A LOT!). We scheduled two separate moves with Small Haul over the Sept 1-2 weekend in Boston which is notoriously one of the busiest times to move in the city. One the first day we had John and Gabriel and the second day was Jeremiah and Matt. Both crews were polite and efficient, arrived within the allotted time and called 10-minutes out from their arrival. They worked well together and moved our items quickly but carefully. I highly recommend Small Haul and will definitely call on them in the future! read more

Beyond excellent. Everything from the completely transparent and accurate estimate to the clear, regular communication to the incredibly respectful, polite, and efficient movers (Gabe & Sean), my experience with Small Haul exceeded my expectations. I will absolutely call on them again and recommend them to everyone. read more

After our experience with Small Haul, we're really sad to have moved so far away, because we won't have them next time. When I reached out for a multi-state move, I was a little worried I picked too small a company for such a big job. I had nothing to worry about. David was communicative from the start, and made everything super easy for us. The pre move checklist and sending photos ensured we really didn't have to think hard about anything, which lifted a huge burden off of us among everything else we had to prepare. We moved from Boston to California! Not only were David and Deric so kind, efficient, and gentle with our items, they were excited about taking such a crazy long road trip. Which was great because I was worried the drive would be cruel to impose on someone haha. Everything went so smoothly, from loading the truck (they were really fast for 2 people), the drive itself, and to them showing up right on time on the opposite end of the country to unload. Our fragile items (of which there were many-sorry) were handled with care. Thousands of miles and not a single thing broke! Including delicate taxidermy, dozens of sheets of glass, and tiny fragile tube amps. They packed it all up so well. Also the cost for the job was extremely reasonable, and they were very transparent about it through the whole process. Seriously I can't recommend these guys enough. Thank you for a wonderful experience. read more

This is my kind of company - fill out a form, get a response within minutes with a breakdown of costs etc. and pick a date - total convenience. I needed some flooring picked up from Home Depot and brought up to my unit - they were on time, fast and friendly. They will do smaller jobs that a lot of moving companies aren't interested in, but they do large moves as well. I will definitely be using them again soon. read more

Great experience and very fast and efficient move. Highly recommend for any type of move. These guys are real pros and communicate.

Selfishly reviewing Small Haul Movers because I need them again and I had to revert to old phone bills to remember their name. Might have reviewed before but could not find it if I did. The team they had was incredible - just two of them and a box truck (I commute to Boston and just have a 1 bed there). Signed up for the wrap & pack and the move. The bill was about $1200 bucks for a 15 or so mile move. They wrapped and packed everything in less than 3 hours and completed the entire move in about 6-7 hours - worked carefully and quickly. I wish they did long distance for the family move from Texas coming next month but I do have them to take care of stage 1! Recommend enthusiastically with no reservations! read more

This company is great!! They showed up exactly at 7:00am. My daughter used Small Haul for her move from one apartment to another in the South End. They did an amazing job. My daughter had everything laid out for them to take (all her heavy furniture and heaviest boxes). They were done loading up her old apartment in 30 minutes and headed to her new place. They were so efficient and didn't stop. They even helped my daughter unload a full car of boxes. Hightly recommend this company for moves! read more

Small haul is an amazing company! The employees are professional, considerate, fast and thorough. The process to set up a move is quick , easy and transparent. I highly recommend this company- I have used them twice. read more

Excellent and stress-free service from start to finish. Great communication, accurate and fair estimate, and the movers were on time and super fast and efficient. I highly recommend! read more

I moved from Somerville to East Boston yesterday, and I chose to hire Small Haul based on their reviews. This was my first time using movers, so I was a little hesitant since I typically have a pretty DIY attitude. However, in 90 degree heat immediately followed by an all afternoon/night thunderstorm, having movers to speed up the process was an absolute godsend. Matt and Steve called me 1 hour before the beginning of my estimated arrival window letting me know they finished the first move early and asked if they could arrive 30 mins early. EARLY! They took great care of all of my belongings and I never had to worry about liquids, glass, or anything valuable. These 2 guys worked their butts off carrying all my stuff up 3 floors on a hot, sunny day during a pandemic and were incredibly friendly and professional the entire time. If I'd have attempted this move myself I would have gotten stuck out in a very bad downpour. In addition to Steve and Matt, Azuraye was excellent at answering any questions I had and referring me to a service that assisted with parking permits. All that said, I also paid WITH tip, the same amount I was quoted by several other local companies, and those quotes didn't include a gratuity. HIGHLY recommend Small Haul, and Steve and Matt specifically. THANK YOU!! read more

Very professional service. I got a quote very quickly, and the online questionnaire ensured that they were very clear about the move. They arrived exactly on time, and moved my very heavy marble table with caution and great care. Friendly, thoughtful service -- they did a great job! A terrific experience all around. Many thanks! read more

Honestly don't go to anyone else if you're moving apartments to and from Boston. Of all the services we researched, Small Haul's estimate was half of the nearest quote we received. From the beginning David was extremely helpful in scheduling our move and answering any questions we had. On moving day the team was punctual, courteous and efficient- even in 80+ degree weather. We moved from two 600 sqf 1 bedroom apartments to a 1200+ sqf 2 bedroom loft; they handled everything in one day. The estimate was dead on for both timing and cost- even after we realized we forgot an oversized mirror that we had to turn back and pick up. Don't get caught paying a big company that does big moves for big fees. Choose a team that specializes in services that match your move. I will be using and recommending Small Haul for all future moves. Thanks guys! read more

This was the best experience I have ever had with a moving company. To start, I had an emergency TEN MINUTES before they were supposed to arrive. I contacted the company and they were very understanding, and were able to reschedule me for later in the day after another move. I didn't expect anything when I called, and it meant a lot that they were so flexible. Luis and Grant showed up, with a positive attitude and ready to work! I had some HEAVY furniture that needed to be moved, and they did it without issue. It was a 99 degree day out (but felt like 104) and they didn't complain once. The furniture was well taken care of. They did a great job. The price was INSANELY fair. The last place I used charged FOUR TIMES what small haul did for the same job. I was astounded. These guys were so pleasant, professional, and easy to work with. I will only use small haul from now on. read more

I can't possibly say enough good things about Small Haul! They provided me with a truly extraordinary level of service at an extremely reasonable price. This includes: - scheduling my move on a week's notice - hand delivering boxes and moving supplies - moving everythjng into indefinite storage - took everything out of storage and delivered to a different state, 6 months later Their quote was *half* of every other company I talked to, and the final price was almost exactly what they quoted me. They were extremely responsive, friendly, and easy to get clear answers from. They arrived on schedule, with everything they needed, and were even fun to talk to. And, it's worth saying, *everything* came back looking exactly the way they picked it up - not a single fragile item damaged, nothing scratched, nothing missing. They even assembled my bed frame with power towels they brought with! Just a perfect experience from start to finish. I would use them again in a heartbeat, and you should too. read more

I was moving from a 1br apt to a new house. Azuraye was very helpful in booking my initial move date, which I needed to eventually delay by 48 hours. She accommodated the date change, very quickly. Grant and Matt were punctual, professional, and efficient. The guys were in a sprinter van, not a moving truck as I only had a modest amount of furniture and belongings to move. I received a call 20 minutes before they arrived, which was helpful. Everything was professionally wrapped and protected and nothing was damaged or scratched during the move. The cost was $737 (including tip) for a 3-hour move. I highly recommend Small Haul. read more

I used Small Haul for our Boston Summer Shuffle. David and Deric were fast and efficient. They knew the ins and outs of our move out and move in neighborhoods ane approached the chaos professionally and with a great sense of humor. read more

Not recommended for anyone. The movers were helpful but the truck was very small. Minority's of the time was used to try and fit my boxes in the truck. I ended up paying twice the amount of money that was quoted because if the small truck. Hidden cost were not provided in the quote. Update September 10, 2018 Thanks for the comments! Please note the review was posted after making the requested payment, a tip for the hard work and additional food to the movers. As per your request the proposal clearly stated a 2 bedroom apartment and two queen beds and the number of boxes. Your company sent a cargo van to move a 2 bed room apartment. I am sure you have been in the business long enough to understand that a two bedroom cannot fit in a cargo van. Because of the small size of the van the movers had to fit everything slowly which increased the moving time. The movers arrived late and move took long than expected during peak traffic hours. Requested time was made to avoid traffic. Lastly, the review is not going to benefit me anyways as I have already made the payment. But it will save the hundreds of other customers who may benefit from review before consulting for business. Additionally, this will also benefit other businesses who provide value for money to their clients. Good luck read more

This was my first time hiring movers on my own, and it was such a great experience. The estimates are well laid out, a questionnaire to best get an estimate, and they have a texting system to get answers to your questions. David and Jordan were awesome, quickly and efficiently moving my possessions with care. I didn't have a lot of things as I was only moving a bedroom and a storage closet, so the sprinter van they had was a perfect size. They had the whole job completed within their estimated *arrival* window. Would definitely recommend and use them again! read more

This was my second time using Small Haul and I continue to be so impressed by their amazing service! Our movers were punctual, very communicative, and so easy to work with. They were attentive and careful moving our more fragile items, and very efficient. I highly, highly recommend their service! read more

I am so impressed by Small Haul's amazing service. They are easy to work with, flexible, friendly, and responsive. Easy online ordering, quick text responses, easy to get folks on the phone. Our movers were punctual, very communicative, and so easy to work with. They were attentive and careful moving our items. Also their pricing is extremely reasonable! We moved from a 1-bedroom fourth floor walk-up apartment in Boston's North End to a converted factory loft in the same neighborhood earlier this year during the pandemic. Our movers wore masks properly the whole time without my asking, and were overall so efficient and wonderful. I highly, highly recommend their service. I have only good things to say about this company. read more

Absolutely thrilled with Small Hauls! From the ease and efficiency of booking a move, helpful links once booked, and most of all the professionalism of their staff at every step of the way. I highly recommend Small Hauls for any of your small scale moving needs! read more

I contacted several movers and SmallHaul was the only mover to get back to me the very same day. They were responsive and helpful to address the many questions I had regarding the move I needed to make very quickly. We moved two days after my initial contact! They were thorough in their questions to arrive at an estimate that was fair. The actual final invoice was slightly less than the estimate; I was quite impressed. Small Haul was also timely arriving on move day. They brought and packed boxes as I had requested for my kitchen breakables. They had a clear and organized process and the entire move --even though I moved from a difficult building with steps, turns and a small elevator to exit, ran like clockwork! Don't get caught up in a large moving company if you only have a small haul. The personal attention provided by this company was just right; they moved everything including objects of odd size and sometimes those which were not even boxed. Nothing was too much for them to move! SmallHaul was a reassuring pleasure to work with the entire time! read more

Theses guys are the real deal! Prompt and professional! Excellent thank you!!!! They went above and beyond what a normal mover would do. I had them move a full size pinball machine and they did everything from folding the back down to making sure it was all set back up properly! read more

This is the third time I've used Small Haul and the second since Charles took over the business. Each time, the move was stressful for me and complicated - not enough time to pack calmly, lots of stairs, very heavy furniture and large framed art, some coming with me and some requiring a storage unit Charles found for me at a good price. This week it was getting my stuff from the storage unit an hour away and loading all that plus everything from my 3rd floor condo and basement storage into a U-Haul I rented to move to Philadelphia. Charles is really communicative, professional, and lovely to deal with, plus the rates are very reasonable. Small Haul employs smart guys, who are strong, Jenga master-loaders, and good humored. I only wish they worked in Philly too. read more

I purchased two dressers off of Craigslist and knew I could not move them myself. I live in a third floor walk up with a completely horrible staircase that has both a low ceiling and is half-walled. I was able to book Matt within a couple of days notice (was in the middle of the month). He was responsive and friendly! The day of the move, Matt and his worker showed up exactly on time. They moved the dressers from their original home with no problem. Then came my apartment: it was a very difficult job getting this long dresser up the stairs. He was persistent and tried everything he could. He was about to give up when he realized the legs came off the dresser. That give him the extra few inches to maneuver. It was an impressive site! He even moved our two old dressers down the stairs, even though I hadn't originally asked him too. I think his rates are very reasonable. There are certainly cheaper options out there (like your cousin Joe and his pick up), but these guys are fully insured and experienced movers. I could have never done this myself, and it was well worth the money. I have absolutely no reservations about recommending Small Haul to anyone! read more

I'm happy to be the 9th reviewer of Small Haul, continuing Matt's unbroken streak of five star reviews. Simply put, Small Haul is awesome. Efficient, professional, pleasant, competent, and flexible. Matt helped me out of a jam when I needed to move out of the apartment I was living in (incredibly skeezy new management bought the place). He moved everything I needed him to, from cinder blocks to book shelves. He did it carefully and quickly. read more

I am so appreciative of the job Matt and his colleague did! I needed furniture moved from and to different floors of my house. I told Matt on the phone what I needed moved and his time estimate was exactly what he said it would be. These guys moved some crazy sized and really heavy pieces with total care and grace. They were very professional and very nice and their price was extremely reasonable. I am grateful that a neighbor passed their name on to me! read more

What can I say, from start to finish, they were excellent. Great communication, very detailed in approach, arrived on time, worked quickly and carefully. Never had such a good moving experience! read more

I had a bunch of stuff I needed to moved to the dumpster 4 flights down. All the good things folks have been writing about Matt and Small Haul are true. He and his helper were super professional, super fast, and charged me well below estimate because the job only took an hour instead of the two hours I thought it would take. I have to thank all you Yelpers for pointing me in the right direction, I totally saved money and it was so quick and easy. If I could give more stars I totally would. read more

I wanted to take the time to give 5 stars to this group. There was some furniture (about a trucks worth), that I was being given that I was about to loose if not moved in 3 days. After calling everyone I knew with trucks on the 1st day, nobody available. On day 2 I thought "hey, I'll rent a van"...... turns out, so doesn't everyone else on a Saturday!!! Then off I went to Google and that's how I found Small Haul. From the first communication on the phone, to "working me in" (keep in mind I'm calling on Friday for Saturday morning service), to the professional young man that came and helped me the next day (on time)I would recommend them all the time. I will say, their first "quote" was a bit high so I did counter-offer and it was received. I got great service, fair pricing, and HUGE piece of mind for that experience. I would recommend them, I would use them again, and I have comfort knowing I don't have to hire a big moving company and a big sticker tag to get help! Keep up the great work/service folks!! read more

Use them to move my small office from Arvada to Boulder. Very fair price, on-time, and took care of my furniture in a safe and professional manner. Highly recommend. read more

Last summer my fiance and I were moving and thought we were going to be able to move our big plasma TV on our own. A few days later we weren't confident that we would be able to keep it upright while maneuvering through 4 sets of doors, down stairs, and had to come up with a last minute plan B. Matt saved the day. I would have given him 5 stars just for his reasonable prices and for not dropping our TV but it's his customer service that puts him above the rest. We tried to use Matt a second time to purchase a bed we found on Craigslist. When we got to the seller the bed wasn't as it had been advertised (full not a queen) and we didn't want it. Matt handled the situation that was surely as frustrating to him as it was to us, with such professionalism. I highly recommend Small Haul. read more

Matt takes all the stress out of moving and does it for a lot cheaper than anyone else can, in my experience. He's friendly, capable, knowledgeable, and flexible. He knew exactly how to negotiate my huge sofa through some tight doorways and pack the truck up with room to spare and plenty of cushioning for my TV. And we had everything moved across town in 2 hours flat, just me and him and a big U-Haul. My last movers broke an unusually shaped vanity mirror and we had to replace it, but I never had any doubts that my furniture was in good hands with Matt. This is a great business, I highly recommend anyone getting priced out on a standard moving company to shoot Matt an email and watch the magic happen. read more

My Small Haul is great. No other moving company does what Matt does. (You can't call up Gentle Giant and ask if they'll move a couch for you tomorrow, can you?) Moving things, on short notice. That is what Matt does. He doesn't move rooms, and he doesn't move things very far either. He moves things around the city. And he does it well and very quickly. Sure you can get someone to do this via Craigslist, but then they're not insured and bonded and you don't even know if they'll show up. You could rent a truck, but then, well, you have to rent the truck! (and find some friends to help you carry things). Matt has the truck, and he carries things. It's great! (and he's not too expensive either). Matt moved a queen mattress for me from Watertown to my new loft in JP. He showed up on time and we got the mattress out of the basement in no time (he had the great idea of strapping the mattress and bending it in half a bit so it would fit through the door, a problem I had trouble solving when I got the thing in there in the first place). We drove over and I rode along and we got it up to my loft in no time. It was great. He even took some boxes that I also had to move in the back of his truck for free. This is a great idea for new business. Help Matt out (and move your craigslist finds easier!). read more
