  • “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.

  • “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.

  • “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!

    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!

    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.

  • “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.

    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.

FAQ

Long Distance Moving FAQs

Can you move me between different cities or states?

Yes. Long-distance and interstate moving are among our specialties, and we provide moving services throughout the contiguous United States. Unlike many moving companies that combine shipments, we use dedicated trucks whenever possible, meaning your belongings travel directly from your old home to your new one. You’ll receive an upfront, flat-rate, all-inclusive quote with no hidden fees, so you’ll know exactly what to expect from start to finish.

How can I get a quote for my long-distance move?

Getting a quote is easy and completely free. Call us at (857) 928-0876 or complete our online Free Moving Estimate form. To provide the most accurate quote, we’ll ask for your pickup and delivery locations, move date, inventory, access details, and any specialty items you may have.

How long does a long-distance move take?

Delivery times vary depending on the distance, route, weather, and scheduling requirements. During your estimate, your move coordinator will provide an expected delivery window based on your specific move. Because we use dedicated trucks whenever possible, your belongings are transported directly to your destination without unnecessary delays caused by combining multiple shipments.

Do you use shared trucks for long-distance moves?

No. We strive to provide dedicated trucks for long-distance moves whenever possible. This means your belongings are not mixed with another customer’s shipment, helping reduce handling, minimize delays, and provide faster, more reliable delivery.

Do I need to pay a deposit to reserve my move?

Yes. A deposit is required to reserve your moving date and secure your crew. Please note that deposits are non-refundable. If you cancel your move, the deposit cannot be refunded or transferred to a different reservation. We recommend booking only once you’re confident in your moving date.

What payment methods do you accept, and when is payment due?

Your deposit is collected when you book your move, and the remaining balance is typically due upon completion of the move once everything has been delivered and placed in your new home. Your move coordinator will review all payment details with you before moving day so there are no surprises.
