Home Team Moving

Moving. the bane of my existence. seriously I’ve had to move more in my life than a person should. I’ve also done it on my own enough times to know that its worth every penny to have someone else do it for you. Now I drive by u-​haulers and laugh like a child muttering «Fools! haha!»
Anyways. I used good old Unilocalerooni to find Home Team, They weren’t the first to respond, or even the cheapest but right from the get go they displayed the professionalism I was looking for. My real need and challenge was, I had to move out of a storage unit before the 1^st of June and we all know that’s probably the second most busiest time of year for movers… (college move in’s probably being the 1^st in September) I had a few exchanges with the owner and a couple of other people at the office all who were on the same page and able to pull up my info without repeating myself. They gave me the rate and explained beforehand that I’d incur a fee of an extra $ 10 per hour because it was a holiday week/​end of the month, and that was a higher rate do to limited availability. I wont lie it did sting a little, but thats because when you move you are brokereeno! I still agreed and set up the move for 9 on the day after Memorial day. They inteded to perform a confirmation call the night before the move to confirm and took a deposit to secure the reservation. All honkey dory!
Though I never did get the confirmation call, I was not worried, they were right on.
They called shortly before 9am the day of the move to explain traffic was holding them up. I appreciated the phone call, and they arrived within 20 mins to the storage unit. Right away they were off and loaded my whole what used to be 2 bedroom apartment into the truck in less than 30 mins — for a 10×15 storage unit full to the top of 30 years of madness… that was impressive! All of the 3 gentlemen sent were polite, curteous, had a good attitude and were very sweet with my 4 dogs the entire time. No complaints on the laborers here, they did not disappoint. They even made mention of some of my rugs having a bit of a smell from the moisture and wanted to make sure I was aware of the possible mold prior to unrolling them. I appreciated that.
Filled out necessary paperwork and I offered to let them follow me — but they insisted I go on ahead and they’d see me shortly behind.
The drive time between was about 45 mins or so and met with no traffic, all highway. I got home and had enough time to sweep, mop and move my belongings out of the way, and situate my dogs before they showed up… way before they showed up in fact. I was at home 45+ mins before I was concerned. I called the office and spoke with a nice gentleman that discovered at the intake point the drop off address was taken down wrong. and they were going in a different location. I was indeed a bit miffed but I didn’t tear the guy’s head off or anything. Hey, shit happens! Gladly the mistaken address wasn’t that far and i had called with enough time so the truck showed back up in less than 20 mins. Before I knew it, my entire downstairs was filled with my life in boxes and they carefully placed a huge heavy hutch in my dining area, that needed special care and assembly.
At the close of the move, the bill and hourly rate was reviewed and to my dismay i noticed I was charged for the hour of wasted time anyways. I agreed to pay this anyhow with the intention of settling it with the office later, not the driver/​laborers fault at all.
The next day I re-​opened the Unilocal message to notify the owner and he was super quick to respond, I explained all of the above and he immediately deducted 1 hr of labor from the final bill, which all in all was not discount rate company prices but also reasonably priced for the short notice and the amount I had to move (I needed 3 people, all of my stuff would have killed 2 guys!)
The stress of moving vanishes and all that leads up to it kind of melts away when you see your stuff all in one building… in the right place! They do have packing services available but I didn’t need it. I may need it in the future with my parent’s old house and I’m stoked because I’ve never had a good experience with a mover before to want to be a repeat customer.
Overall, I would recommend using Home Team,(especially for smaller moves), they are professional, fair and mindfuil of your belongings. I would likely use them again… but holy hell I am done moving!

It all started with a few calls with Matt, who promptly sent me an estimate. I had a move out date, storage for a few days, then finally a move-​in date. Three separate moves (including putting all my stuff in their storage facility for a few days) leaves a lot of room for error… but not these guys!
I was thoroughly impressed with them on both occasions (move-​out and move-​in a few days later.) Jorge and his team quickly and swiftly shrink wrapped my items, padded them, and after all that action, I am happy to report I am all moved in and none of my items were scuffed or in any way mistreated.
Highly recommend them and their professionalism!
Will definitely use them again soon as I’m planning yet another move!

These guys were professional on the phone prior to the move. The movers were nice and courteous, but they broke some things due to carelessness.
I would not be writing a negative review if they had immediately replaced the broken item. Instead, they waited weeks and tried to find a different retailer to save themselves money (instead of thinking with customer first mentality). On top of that, the owner of the company stated that it broke because it’s cheap furniture. Funny, it never had a scratch when I moved it myself on the same exact move last time.
So, let it be known. If Home Team breaks your stuff, it’s because it’s cheap, not their fault at all! That’s from the owner.

I wish I could give even more stars, this team (and they are a team) is superb! I’ve moved 13 times in my life and this was the best ever by far. First, if you look at their video at
, they really do run! And what does that do? Cuts your cost. They are also intelligent, personable and take their work to please you seriously. Moving is always going to be traumatic, however if you use HT for your next move, you’ll see that they will remove some of that stress because they care, they’ve got your back.
At the end, we ordered takeout for all and enjoyed getting to know them better.

I was moving from one house to another house in the same town. When they were supposed to arrive at 9am, they called to tell me they would be late. They arrived at 9:30 (no big deal on its own) with 3 men instead of 4, on one of the hottest days of the summer. Two of the men got right to work while the other continue to try to track down an extra guy for much of the morning. They took a few breaks, understandably because of the heat, and did take off ½ hour for the breaks. After packing up half the truck, they decided that it would be quicker to drive to the new place, unload half the truck and come back to get the rest of the stuff instead of just loading it all up. Two more guys were going to show up, so the loading stopped and we all sat and waited for them… they eventually showed up. We got to the new house for the first round and they began unloading. They were not very careful with the furniture and banged up the new paint on a few walls and ceilings. They clearly do not have much experience moving pianos — I feared for my piano and the movers’ lives when they were moving it! After all was done, they charged me for 4 movers for ½ they day and 3 movers the first half. We have moved four times in the Boston area and Intelligent Movers were by FAR the best. Unfortunately they were booked for this move, but try them before you go with these guys.

Can’t say enough good about them. We’ve been going through the move from hell (including nasty neighbors forming a lynch mob to prevent us from selling our house!) but these guys did what they said they would do, in less time and under budget in a monsoon, which made everything so much harder — but they managed in spite of dangerous weather and two sets of pull down attic stairs!
We especially appreciated that they walk around with you afterward and move things so that there’s no — oh, oh, the bed is in the wrong place, now we have to move it. — the house is in the best shape for unpacking that it could be. (Of course, I did prepare well by mapping out the rooms, labeling boxes and rooms — though I could have done a better job of labeling the furniture — but really it was like that commercial where the woman asks for constant small adjustments…)
James, Rafe, George «Q» and Darnell were great. Thanks!

Just wanted to say Home Team moving is simply the best!!! This company is truly outstanding. Each and every one of the employees that I came in contact with were so nice, polite, hard-​working, efficient, knowledgeable and just an absolute pleasure to deal with.
I have moved six times… big moves that involved three different homes and this company by far is the best that I have ever had!
I would have given 10 stars if I could. My move with them went so smoothly and was booked at the last minute. Starting with my first contact, Matt was outstanding to everyone of the four guys assigned to my move. These guys moved all of my heavy, heavy furniture out of my raised ranch on a 90 degree day so carefully, efficiently and with nothing more than a smile on their faces! I have one more move coming up and will be sure to give them a call. Really can’t say enough about this company. Please take it from me as an experienced mover, give Home Team moving a call. They are worth every penny. Thank you! Thank you. Thank you!

Why pack and move yourself when you can get a crew like HTM to do it for you? Yes, you can pack it all yourself and get a U-​Haul to save $, but lose your mind and alienate your family/​friends in the process. This is time and money well spent! Matt was awesome on the phone to provide all the details needed to get everything set. Jorge and his crew on the day of the move were great — they even got the big items out using our back deck from the 3^rd floor to ground level. Highly recommend!

This is the second time we have used Home Team Moving. Our first time using them (2 years ago) was extremely smooth so that is why we decided to use them again. But this time we had a completely different experience. While the moving team was professional and courteous during the move, we lost 4 boxes of our precious books.
We realized this only a day after the move and immediately contacted them. It was a just local move, just within the same town so we really didn’t think it would be complicated. Our attempts to track down the missing boxes have been futile. Overall a bad customer experience for us.

These guys saved me from a nightmare moving experience. I booked a company before these guys, who proceeded to quote me Triple what Matt did. On the night before I needed to move I was calling people left and right to find quotes, and Matt was the first to respond within 10 minutes! Not to mention he had a crew prepared for me the following day. Unbelievable service.
On the days of my move, the movers were there promptly and worked so efficiently that both times the prices were less then anticipated.
James, George, Mike, and Donnell are incredible, and Matt runs the company the right way with reasonable prices; accommodating schedules, and just the right attitude. A+ for these guys. I can’t wait to use them again and to recommend them to family and friends.

This was the first time I ever hired movers as the expected costs always steered me away. I have moved many times and have been hearing frequently through co-​workers and friends to hire a mover. it’s worth it! I made the decision to do so this time around, knowing it would be crazy expensive but feeling good about the decision to not ask my friends to help out, to coordinate and rent a truck, and to be sore for at least a week from climbing 3 flights of stairs while lifting heavy items.
Now, about Home Team Moving.
They arrived a few minute early; They were really fast, extremely nice and helpful. We were gone from my old place within an hour and on to my new location where they hiked all of my things up to the third floor and some down to the basement for storage. I hope every time that i move in the future it will be in the same general area as I would hire this team again in a second!
The best part of the process? Home Team gave me the better quote out of the two companies i looked into. They actually finished sooner than expected and my final price was $ 100 less than originally quoted! When does that ever happen!!!
This was overall a great experience. Moving is extremely stressful and these guys made the entire process completely worth the investment.
There really is no need to look anywhere else. Home Team delivers great service. That’s all that needs to be said.

Great job, by a great bunch of guys. Easy communications, thoughtful about how to collect and move our household goods. Worked well with our shipping agent, and delivered better than expected service, for the quoted price! Hire these guys, you won’t be disappointing. I already plan to use them to move some furniture from a family members house to mine.

We used Hometeam 4 times in the past 13 months for a multi-​step, mult-​hop move (Lex — Woburn, Wob — Waltham, Wal — Reading, Wob — Reading) and all our experiences were of consistently high quality. They carefully wrapped our furniture, worked quickly and efficiently. Their pricing is fair and and clear and there were no surprises; I’m sure you can find cheaper and could always do it yourself but for our money contracting a good mover like Home Team is well worth the money.
Ben and all the guys were polite, respectable and nice to work with. I’d highly recommend Home Team.

This company needs a special 6 star rating. They moved us out two months ago, put us in storage, got us out and moved us in today. Both crews, one young man on both crews, were friendly, hardworking, communicative, and totally positive. Forgot to mention that they were also willing to pick up some furniture we bought while between homes and get it to us in the final move in. Not enough for you? Due to a glitch in the closing of our new house we rescheduled at short notice, twice, pushing it off (not such a feat you may say) but then Moving it forward to the original schedule. No hassle, totally understanding and can do. There is always someone available when you have a question, if not then, a call back within minutes.
My wife and I love these people.

Awesome experience. This is the second time I’ve used Home Team Moving Co., and I’ll certainly use them for any future moves. They were able to come 2 hrs early, and they finished in record time. They were friendly, professional, and in good humor. They put me at ease and reduced all my anxiety about moving. We forgot to get my parking permit out of the truck, and they promptly returned it before I even realized I’d forgotten. Ranell, Mike, and Pete were fantastic. Thanks, guys and thanks, Ben, for arranging so seamless a move!

I want to give these guys a higher rating, they gave me such friendly service to put my stuff into storage at a friend’s in December, that I used them a 2^nd time to unload my stuff out of storage a few months ago for an out-​of-​state move, but I used another service to unload on the other end. Now both movers are blaming the other for the unfortunate damage that happened to one very nice piece of my furniture. I’m sure the Hometeam movers wrapped this one piece poorly in the truck on the 2^nd move, but it’s my word against theirs, so they won’t take responsibility and are blaming the other guys, and it’s turned into a hassle I don’t know how to win because the insurance company also said it’ll be hard to prove having used two movers. So, I have to live with the damage, cause I don’t have anymore time to go through hoops when I just started a new job as well. The furniture also could’ve been damaged months ago when they moved it into storage, I hadn’t seen this piece since the first move. In all other ways, their team was meticulous and courteous, wrapped everything else in plastic and/​or blankets both moves, but this one piece was the unfortunate part that ruins my ability to rate them well. I paid for insured movers, but now I can’t get the damage covered, so I have to look at that damaged piece of furniture, that was fairly new, indefinitely!
Also, they didn’t tell me up front the first move that they charge you from their garage in Belmont and back, so if they run into traffic trying to get to/​from your place, you’re already in the hole. They did give me a discount because I didn’t know this, and maybe this is what makes them appear more reasonably priced than other movers that charge you more for moving hours only, but make sure you factor that time in when you plan your budget. If you live far outside of Belmont, this alone could eat up any savings by using them. Just an additional note to consider.

Used for townhouse (3 bdrm) move from Belmont to Natick.
Showed up on time with 2 more guys than initially discussed. Toured the place and started to work right away. They emptied the space so fast I had to change my plans for the day. Then they drove to Natick and were waiting for me there. I mean, really, who does that?
Then they unloaded the trucks with the efficiency of an ant colony. Done before 3 pm. And the greatest surprise of all, they handed me a bill for the agreed price. Again…, really?
These guys are no joke.

We are happy and relieved to have made a successful choice with Home Team. They were first recommended to us by a friend. We had Ben come by the house and do an «in-​home» estimate. He’s very friendly and professional.
We were moving our apartment in Cambridge and and our storage unit in Billerica and then moving into our new house in the suburbs south of the city. There were two crews, one for each starting point. Both were about 10 minutes late but called me (interestingly at the same time) to tell me they were slightly behind. It didn’t matter though because when they arrived at the storage unit, they knew exactly what they were doing and hustled through it, wrapping everything that could possibly be damageable in blankets. Husband was in Cambridge meeting the other crew and he said they were moving so quickly– he had gotten them coffee and donuts to start the day and later joked that he was «forcing» them to eat the donuts! :)
They were incredibly patient with me when I was trying to close my account with the storage facility and the worker wasn’t there. We all met up at again at the house, they pulled in right behind me and immediately started to unload. When they finished and left, it was maybe 10 minutes before the Cambridge crew arrived. Again, they moved quickly, doubling up on what they were carrying. They were also really friendly guys and helped us reassemble the beds in the house.
They say that their final cost is within 25% of their estimate, however, the price we got was within $ 100. Moving is never cheap, but I like to know what to expect for cost. I was happy with the final bill.
There was one bit of minor damage on a night stand that my husband noticed and they offered to repair it for us. They came and picked it up and about a week later, dropped it off looking good.
I highly recommend these movers. We had called a few other movers in the area (Eagle Lines and Gentle Giant) that were suggested to us and are glad we made this choice.

All I can say is «WOW!» These guys were amazing and all you could ask for in a moving company. They did arrive about 10 minutes late and were professional enough to call (well before their scheduled time) to let me know. They hustled through our second floor apartment and continued their energy when we got to our new home (which is on a hill and like moving into a second and third level home). I wouldn’t recommend any other company to a family member or friend! Thanks for making our move easier, Home Team Movers!!!

These guys were nothing short of amazing. I called them with only 1 weeks notice and they were able to help me and my husband out at our exact time, and with by far the best price we had been quoted. Plus I had my quote within 3 hours compared to 2 or 3 days.
We went with them because of Unilocal,and I’m so glad I listened. We had a two bed apartment with WAY more boxes than I had anticipated and they had us out of our apartment in a little over an hour. I am talking probably 40 boxes with a good amount of furniture, grill and a snow blower. The followed me the 20 miles to our new home and had the truck unpacked in less than an hour. they had everything in the right spot did it quickly and in an organized fashion.
There was no damage to our house or belongings and they refused to take a break when i offered them drinks. This is a great company and I will be passing their information on to our Friends, families and co workers. thanks guys for making this move less stressful.
