"Without a doubt the best moving company in Boston and a bunch of kind human beings. They are courteous, friendly, professional, and go above and beyond the call of duty! One of my co-workers had to move quickly after a messy break up. She found an apartment in Charlestown and with such short notice struggled to find friends to help her move. Being the community-minded fellow I am I offered to help (Truth: Because she'd forgive me for stealing a regular supply of chocolate-covered espresso beans from her desk). Moving day was last friday and everything went wrong that could go wrong. It was raining, there was no parking, and worse her expensive and massive armoire that she loved didn't fit up the stairs. The movers finagled and finagled with no luck. They tried taking some of it apart. Still no luck. It became clear that it wasn't going to fit up the stairs and my coworker was devastated (with dignity). Domingo, the guy in charge of the moving crew, told her that just wasn't going to fit and they would be wasting her money to continue trying. He offered to come back with some of his friends later in the day. So she wrote them a check for their hours and they went off. A few hours later he returned with a bunch of his buddies and engineered a system to literally pull the enormous armoire through the second floor window. Sure enough the operation was a success. My co-worker tried to offer him money for his services but he refused, letting the good deed speak for itself." - Peter of Boston, MA

"When I moved from a 1st floor Medford apt to a 3rd floor JP apt in August, I decided I'd hire movers for the first time and give my dad's old back a break. (He's helped move me about 11 times since I was 18.) I was nervous because of all of the horror stories you hear about overcharging, hidden fees, broken stuff, stolen stuff, hijacked stuff, etc. I did a lot of research and Stairhoppers was one of about 20 companies that gave me an estimate. A few came in cheaper, but when I read the reviews on Yelp and CitySearch, I chose to go with these guys because they didn't have any negative reviews anywhere. The day of my move, they were about 15 minutes late which scared the bejesus out of me (thought they weren't coming!), but it was 100% not their fault. Of course, the day I moved had to be the day they decided to close off Governor's Ave (my former street) and pave High Street (the only other access street to my apt.). I was amazed at the way Mona maneuvered the gigantic truck down my closed-off street. (I had to flag down a cop and get permission for the truck to come down the street...) When I got the bill at the end of the day, they didn't even charge me for the time they spent rerouting because of the detours! The three guys started immediately after arriving and moved my entire 1 bedroom apartment into the truck in less than 1 hour. And I have a ton of crap. In addition to my furniture and millions of boxes of junk, I had over 20 huge, heavy boxes of books - they carried 3 boxes at a time! I was absolutely amazed at the speed and strength of these movers. They followed me to my new place in JP and spent about 2 hours getting everything up to the 3rd floor. I still have no idea how they got my giant couch up the rickety old staircase, and how they quickly managed to hoist my boxspring up via the back deck - they worked miracles. They were fast, they were careful (not ONE thing broken, scratched, damaged, lost, etc.), and they worked so hard. My bill came to just over $450, which was exactly what they quoted me at even though I ended up having double the amount of boxes/furniture that I anticipated when they did my estimate. If you are in the Boston area and need an affordable, trustworthy moving company, I would definitely go with Stairhoppers. Even though they're in Somerville and I'm in JP now, I'll hire them again for my next move - paying them to travel is worth not having to worry about your move." - Sarah of Malden, MA

"I just wanted to tell you that your men were GREAT!!! We were pleasantly surprised with how quickly and efficiently your men worked--especially since we were moving out of state!! The price was unbeatable and the service was unremarkable!! I will definately recommend Stairhoppers to any of my friends that are moving. Thank you very much for a smooth transition to our new home!" - Christine of Norwich, CT

"I had never hired a moving company before and started my search on CitySearch. I was looking to book a weekend time so I began looking two weeks prior. After calling and quoting a few different services, I decided upon Stairhoppers. I booked a 9 AM move on a SUNDAY. I was leary when one of the companies I quoted from called me back and told me "good luck".

I called Mona in the meantime and she reassured me that everything would be ok. At 9am on Sunday Adrian and Steve showed up. Both were well spoken, alert, and clean. They were very responsive during the packing.

I had refinished 1200 sq ft of wood floors in my new house. Not only were none of my furniture or boxes damaged, but there was not one scratch on my floors.

I will highly recommend Stairhoppers to anyone who needs to move and I will use them in my next move. Thanks a bunch!" - Michael H. of Medford, MA

"These guys did a terrific job on an extremely last minute (noon, the day of) move. They packed stuff incredibly quickly; we had expected them to take three hours to pack the things and maybe another half hour to put the boxes in the truck, but an hour and forty-five minutes later, they were done! Very personable staff on the phone and in the home! Of all the companies I called to ask for availability, this is the company that responded the fastest after telling me they'd "call in 5." They called back in 3! Very professional. I firmly recommend these movers!" - Juliet M. of Somerville, MA

"I just wanted to let you know that I really had a great experience with your company and with all the people I was in contact with during my move...." - Evelyn O. of Revere, MA

"Adrian, let me tell you that the guys who performed my move were fantastic. They were reliable, personable and efficient..." - Louisa T.of Watertown, MA

"We moved from a high rise in downtown Boston into their storage space, then to a two family in JP - so we did a lot of business with them. They were absolutely wonderful in every way. They were on time, polite, well organized, nothing was broken and they were very efficient. Also, every fee was stated up front and their estimate turned out to be exactly what we ended up paying. We have used other moving companies in the area and have not been satisfied but have found stairhoppers to be the very best. I would recommend them to anyone!! Their prices are low, but their service is the best!!!!" - Stephanie S. of Boston, MA

"Fantastic experience and the best choice. Not only was it the best rate quoted by different movers, but excellent customer service." - Sussanne D.of Watertown, MA

"Hidden charges bah.....The actual price was almost $30 cheaper than their original quote. Their price was comparable to "cheap" moving companies that are reputed to hit you with hidden fees. So really, why wouldn't you go with them. They were on time, they worked fast, nothing was broken despite my last minute night before dish packing. They let me ride in the truck with them so I didn't have to walk or bus it to my new apt. They even moved out an old chair from the new apt that I was too injured to move. The person I spoke with to arrange the move was helpful and quick to respond to any inquiry. They one way I think they could improve is to offer their service in getting parking permits if needed. Not that I minded getting out of work early to got to City Hall, but i still needed to take that time off. Other than that I thought they were great, efficient, affordable and friendly." - Sean B. of Jamaica Plain, MA

"I just wanted to drop you a short note to let you know how pleased we were with the service we received from Mona, your Operations Manager. She was very professional and knowledgeable in her dealings with us." - Amanda W.of East Boston, MA

"Let me tell you why I was so satisfied with Stairhopper Movers. Their staff is polite, patient and professional!............The price was very competitive." - Alissa M.of Cambridge, MA

"The movers were courteous. The 2 guys that came out worked swiftly to move my furniture out and just as swiftly moving items in. They had to disassemble my bed and reassemble it in my new location--they did this quickly as well. I was SO impressed!" - Johnny C. of Marblehead, MA

"I moved from a 2nd flr apartment in Belmont to a house in Woburn. This was just three days after a snow/rain storm left sheets of ice at least two inches thick on the sidewalks. I was very concerned that my move would be affected. But let's start from the beginning. I contacted Stairhopper movers online to get a quote. I was immediately contacted back in the manner I requested (email) with a very friendly and professional email. I exchanged a few more emails and once I was satisfied called to make an appointment. The day of the move (Sunday) the movers showed up exactly on time. They were extremely courteous and professional, taking a walkthru of the house first to plan their attack. They explained any additional costs right up front (supplies, etc) and even waived a few fees just to be nice. Three men came with one truck and they had the apartment empty within 2.5 hours. Every piece of furniture was wrapped and covered with care and the apartment was treated gingerly as they moved things out. I didn't see or hear one nicked wall or scratch of paint. Once we got to the house, the moves performed the same initial walk thru. The ice was even more treacherous here, but they did not complain once. In fact, each of them did their work with a smile on their face. When all was said and done, the entire move took about 4-5 hours...exactly what was quoted, and everything was done above and beyond my satisfaction (hence this review). I would highly recommend these movers to anyone. They were a great bunch of people and their service was exemplary.' - Todd F. of Woburn, MA

"Mona and Adrian, let me tell you that Dragos and Simon were GREAT movers. Many thanks to you and to them, a smooth move. I'll call on you again next time. Best, JS" - Joni S. of Cambridge, MA

"Dear Mr. Iorga, on May 10th you, Dragos and Barney moved our household from Beacon St., Boston to Brighton. We were very impressed at the way you worked - very professionally, as far as we were concerned. At times the work was quite difficult, but the three of you took everything in stride. I was especially grateful when you accepted to carry that huge carpet from the third floor back to the garage.... Deeply appreciation from us." - Kenneth F., SVD, Divine Word Missionaries of Brighton, MA
