Next Step Moving and Storage runs six services under one roof, all worked by the same crew Sean Doherty hired and trained in Belmont — never a subcontractor swapped in on move day. Whether it’s a studio walk-up in Cambridge or a full office relocation in Waltham, the same trucks and the same movers show up. Pick the service that matches your move, or call and we’ll walk you through which pieces you actually need.
Local Moving — flat-rate moves across Belmont and Middlesex County.
Can I combine two services, like packing with a long-distance move?▾
Yes — most long-distance and full-household jobs already fold in packing and, when needed, short-term storage. Tell us what you need on the phone walkthrough and Sean builds it into one written quote instead of three separate estimates.
Does the same crew handle every type of job, or do you bring in outside help for bigger moves?▾
The same crew. Next Step doesn't subcontract household or office moves — the movers and crew chiefs who show up on a local job are the same team that runs our long-distance lanes and commercial moves.
My old lease ends before my new place is ready — can you help with that gap?▾
That's exactly what our storage service is for. We can hold your load at our facility for a few days or a few months and schedule the delivery once you have keys, without booking a separate mover for the second leg.
Sean Doherty looks at the job himself — a call, a video walkthrough, or photos you text over — before he puts a number on paper, and that’s the number that shows up on the invoice.
Every Mover Is Ours, Full Stop
The crew on your truck trained under Tony Marchetti or Devon Walsh and draws a paycheck from Next Step — nobody’s pulled off a gig-work app the morning of your move.
Maureen Keeps Every Paper Ready
Every Belmont move runs on a Massachusetts DPU mover permit, and anything crossing state lines runs under our federal DOT and MC authority too — Maureen Kelly keeps both on file, plus proof of the $1M policy that rides along on every load, ready before you even think to ask.
Built Around a New England Calendar
A December ice storm that shuts down Trapelo Road gets a reschedule call before it hits, not after, and once the spring thaw turns the older driveways soft we walk the site first to make sure a loaded truck won’t sink it.
The Quote Already Covers the Hard Parts
A resident-permit street near Belmont Center, a third-floor triple-decker walk-up, the extra mileage out to Middlesex County’s far edge — all of it is priced in before we quote you, so the invoice never grows on move day.
Every Truck Rolls Out Fully Stocked
All 6 of our trucks leave the yard loaded with furniture pads, straps, dollies, and shrink wrap already on board, so nobody’s making a hardware-store run in the middle of your move.
Reserve Your Date Before September Fills Up
Lock in your Belmont move date online now — the first week of September disappears fast once every lease in Middlesex County turns over on the same weekend.
Moving The Date Costs Nothing Extra
A nor’easter lines up for moving day, or a closing gets pushed back a week — either way, rebooking ahead of time doesn’t add a dollar to your quote.
Priced Off Actual Middlesex County Jobs
Every quote is built from real jobs we’ve run around Belmont, not a generic online calculator, and veteran, teacher, and student-move discounts come off the price before you ever sign.
Straight From the People We Moved
Nothing below is trimmed or touched up — just Middlesex County households describing their own move day.

Devon’s crew got our piano down a staircase I was sure wouldn’t work, and never once acted rattled about it.

Tony walked the driveway before anything else, planned the truck angle, and had us loaded ahead of schedule.

Next Step Moving and Storage quoted a number on the first call and the invoice matched it to the dollar.

No fuel charge, no stair charge, nothing tacked on — the price we agreed to was the price we paid.

They packed the kitchen the night before and had the truck unloaded before dinner the next day.
