In the competitive landscape of Boston's moving industry, Stairhopper Movers has distinguished itself through an unwavering commitment to customer-centered service since its founding in 2001. When Romanian-born entrepreneur Adrian Iorga established the company, he envisioned more than just another moving service—he sought to fundamentally transform how Bostonians experience relocation. What truly sets Stairhopper apart begins with its founder, who at 6'4" was literally the first "stairhopper." Iorga's background in economics coupled with his athletic physique created the perfect foundation for building a moving company that emphasizes both business acumen and physical capability. Unlike many executives who remain office-bound, Iorga regularly works alongside his teams as foreman and head mover, demonstrating a hands-on leadership style that permeates the company culture. The company's distinctive approach to hiring has proven remarkably effective over their two decades in business. By recruiting locally and selecting team members who share values of athleticism, health-consciousness, and exceptional customer service, Stairhopper has cultivated a smoke-free workforce that many clients particularly appreciate. This attention to personnel quality has translated into impressive customer loyalty, with an extraordinary 80% of new business coming directly from referrals. Stairhopper's comprehensive service portfolio encompasses residential and commercial relocations, both local and long-distance, complemented by professional packing services and secure storage solutions. Their fleet of air-ride, late-model trucks—meticulously maintained and fully equipped with necessary supplies—ensures each move proceeds efficiently regardless of timing, even accommodating overnight, weekend, and holiday relocations. The company's customer-first philosophy has earned them multiple awards from Boston organizations recognizing excellence in service. By treating each shipment as "precious cargo" and maintaining transparent pricing without hidden fees, Stairhopper has successfully fulfilled Iorga's founding vision of creating "customers for life." This combination of professional expertise, physical capability, and genuine care for client satisfaction continues to elevate Stairhopper Movers above typical industry standards.
