Company information

Family-run Dependable Moving LLC has been making life easier for folks throughout Metro Boston and the South Shore for years now, extending their reach all the way out to Cape Cod and the Islands. This local outfit stands apart because they keep things personal - being family-owned means you're not dealing with some huge corporate chain that doesn't know your neighborhood. They've built their reputation on straight-up reliable service without the fancy marketing gimmicks that other companies use. What makes them different is their focus on actually being dependable (hence the name) rather than just claiming to be the biggest or flashiest moving company around. These guys handle everything from simple apartment moves within Boston to full-service relocations across Massachusetts, plus they throw in packing services when you need them. Since they're fully licensed and insured, you don't have to worry about coverage issues. Their approach is pretty straightforward - show up on time, handle your stuff carefully, and get the job done right without drama.Christian Maki runs his family operation out of Essex, Massachusetts, but his crew regularly handles moves throughout the greater Boston area, including places like Charlestown where they've worked around active construction projects. Starting the business in 2019 after two decades in the moving industry, Christian built Maki Moving on three basic principles - safety first, consistent service, and treating every client like family. What makes them different from bigger moving companies is their personal approach and flexibility - they'll take last-minute calls, work around renovation schedules, and even move specialty items like hot tubs from New Hampshire to Massachusetts. Their team doesn't just move your stuff and disappear either; they'll disassemble furniture at the old place, reassemble it at the new location, and make sure everything ends up exactly where you want it. Property managers especially appreciate working with Maki Moving because they show up on time, protect building surfaces, and come up with creative solutions when tricky situations arise.
