Company information

Based in Hingham at 67 Sharp Street, Burkhardt Brothers Moving & Storage brings something truly unique to the Greater Boston South Shore area - an incredible 137-year legacy that started back in 1888 and continues today under fifth-generation family ownership. Unlike newer moving companies that rely on temporary workers, this outfit draws from over a century of accumulated knowledge and expertise, having successfully relocated more than 350,000 households throughout their long history. What really makes them stand out is their specialization in challenging moves that other companies shy away from, particularly piano relocations where they've earned a stellar reputation for safely moving grands, spinets, and even 400-pound Hammond organs. Operating from their strategic South Shore location, Burkhardt Brothers combines old-school craftsmanship with modern equipment, offering everything from residential and commercial moves to climate-controlled storage solutions. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction reflects generations of family pride, making them a trusted choice for families who want movers that truly care about their belongings.
