Who we are

We're the movers
Bostonians rely on
again & again

Ready to leave cramped studio living in Allston and finally settle into a place with some elbow room? Looking for a mover who can hop those notorious triple-decker stairs without breaking a sweat — or your bank account? Our team's got the local know-how (we've tackled moves through every one-way street in the North End) and the charm to match. From carefully wrapping your heirloom dinnerware to hauling bulky sofas around tight corners, we do it all with a smile.

No Need to Crumble Under Moving Stress: Our process is simple. You pick the day, we show up on time with top-quality packing materials, and everything you own gets treated like priceless cargo — because it is to you. We'll even take care of special requests, like last-minute add-ons or extra stops.

Transparent Pricing? You Got It: We believe in 100% upfront, flat-fee quotes — no hidden extras lurking in the fine print. By the time you're ready to unpack, the only surprise you'll have is how easy it all was.

  • “THE BEST”

    This year, I moved from New York to Boston. I decided to hire movers for the first time, and WOW am I glad I did. I can't say enough about how excellent Stairhopper movers is. Their customer service is absolutely unmatched. A representative called me within 30 minutes of submitting the form, and the movers (Selvin and Orlando) showed up right on time, professional, friendly, and EXTREMELY FAST AND STRONG. I can't recommend this company enough.

  • “FLAWLESS”

    The only moving company ever to call in Boston. Our commercial move was executed flawlessly and so efficiently that a second planned afternoon shift was not required, saving our company thousands. From the earliest planning meeting to the multiple touchbases leading up to the move, Stairhoppers had us on their back! Could not be happier!

  • “EXCELLENT”

    After an excellent experience with the Stairhoppers team in 2019, we returned to them again in 2025 for another office move. Just as before, this second move was seamless, efficient & worry-free. From sourcing the initial quote, to proactive communications ahead of the move, to the highly professional, competent & personable moving team handling everything with ease. Many, many thanks Stairhopper Movers!

  • “FIVE STARS”

    Cross-country move from Boston to Wisconsin with 2 weeks of storage in between. Stairhopper handled it like pros, tailoring my dates and times to my schedule, and making sure I understood every step of the process. Prices were comparable to other companies in the area and the movers were quick and professional.

  • “SEAMLESS”

    We used Stairhopper Movers to move from Massachusetts to North Carolina. The team that loaded our items was quick and very professional! They kept us updated about arrival times and quickly unloaded everything into a storage unit for us. They took great care with delicate items and were very friendly. We will be recommending them to everyone we know that are moving!

  • “WOULD RECOMMEND”

    I moved from Boston to Chicago with Stairhopper and they made the process stress free! I didn't pack a single thing, they did it all for me, and even brought boxes and moving supplies. They assembled my new furniture in Chicago and were very thoughtful when assembling and moving to avoid damage. Would recommend!

  • “HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”

    I moved from Brookline to New Hampshire and I highly recommend Stairhopper. They were on time, professional, polite, and fast. They came prepared with all supplies and were accommodating when I added last minute items to the inventory. And they're much more reasonably priced than other companies I considered. Shoutout to David, Omar, and Isaac for being our interstate team.

  • “WOULD RECOMMEND”

    Hired for an interstate move during one of the busiest weekends in the area for movers, and the price was reasonable and a good value for services rendered. Friendly movers, efficient loading, easy logistical process from start to finish, very responsive to questions, lots of helpful confirmation messages, and took good care of items.

  • “FANTASTIC”

    I moved from Massachusetts to Florida last month and after doing a lot of comparison shopping and research on movers I decided to hire Stairhopper for the move. They absolutely lived up to their reputation and did a fantastic job. They got all my stuff down to Florida in two days, all in one piece with no damage, and they charged me exactly what they quoted.

    Recently moved from the Boston area to North Carolina and the team from Stairhopper Movers was impeccable. Nothing was damaged, they were extremely communicative and prompt, and super efficient with how they worked. They were very careful with our belongings and did an amazing job. Would definitely recommend them for local or long distance moves.

  • “FIVE STARS”

    Had to move very last minute and Stairhopper Movers was able to schedule me a full packing and move service. The crew arrived during the allotted time window and got straight to work. They packed and moved my entire 1 bedroom apartment in about 6 hours. Made a stressful situation a lot easier. Update: used Stairhopper again for another move and they were just as friendly and efficient!

  • “THE BEST”

    Used them for a local move this summer. Compared to several other local companies, they had the best rates and the easiest booking process and website. The crew arrived right at the beginning of the time window I was given. Super quick and professional move. Nothing broke, they wrapped all my furniture safely and efficiently. Would highly recommend.

  • “2ND TIME USING STAIRHOPPERS”

    If you are looking for moving or packing services, you absolutely need to hire Stairhoppers. This is the second time we used them and they were incredible both times. The team members are incredible, from the person taking the reservation over the phone to the guys who physically move everything. The price is also way more competitive than other companies we have used.

    Stairhoppers helped us move from Boston to CT - they were incredibly efficient and took great care of our belongings throughout the move. They were also very reasonably priced. The Stairhoppers crew made our move so easy - we barely had to lift a finger. Highly recommend. Thank you Stairhoppers!

  • “EXCELLENT”

    We used Stairhoppers for a move from Boston to Virginia and couldn't be more happy with the experience. In addition to the flat rate for the move and delivery, we also used them for packing and unpacking services. The moving day happened to be during a Nor'Easter and the crew was very careful to wrap all of our items with extra blankets so nothing got wet. Overall I highly recommend Stairhoppers.
