Company information

Chris Amaral and his team move stuff around—your stuff and other Bostonians' stuff—and they are really good at it. Ask any clients who've had to move to a new place or office in Boston, Cambridge, South Shore, or Cape Cod. Safe Responsible Movers has over a hundred reviews on Google, resulting in a 4.9 rating. And on Yelp, they've got close to three hundred reviews with the same rating. Those are some pretty good numbers. Considering them, odds are you can safely trust these guys with your personal belongings. But suppose those are not enough reasons for you. In that case, they are licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities and have full insurance coverage for safe handling. To their residential clients, they offer movers to relocate households, apartments, college dorms, single items, senior citizens, and even in-home moves. They can also provide labor-only services for moves where you already have a truck, POD loading, and overnight storage. Last-minute moves are a possibility, too! To their commercial clients, they offer office and retail relocation services. There's also a crew to help designers stage homes. Ultimately, if you've got to choose, choose the top choice, according to The Improper Bostonian.
