Packing a full Belmont household — or just the kitchen and closets before moving day — is priced before anyone opens a box, with materials included in the quote, not billed separately at the end. Devon’s crew rigs pianos and gun safes as a specialty line, not an afterthought.

  • Full-service packing for an entire household, or partial packing by room
  • Dish packs, wardrobe boxes, and mirror crates included in the materials price
  • Piano and gun-safe rigging quoted separately at $150–$300
  • Unpacking at the new address available as an add-on
Unit size Typical full move
Studio / 1BR $700–$1,000
2BR $1,000–$1,500
3BR $1,500–$2,200

Packing pairs naturally with a Belmont apartment or condo move where stairs slow down box trips, and it’s built into most long-distance moves out of Belmont too. Ask for packing on your free quote, or start from the Next Step Moving and Storage home page and request one on the quote page.

Before You Book This Service

Do we need to buy our own boxes before your crew shows up?▾

No — dish packs, wardrobe boxes, and mirror crates are part of the packing quote, so nothing needs to be bought ahead of time unless you'd rather source your own.

What's the plan for a piano or a gun safe that needs to come with us?▾

Those get rigged and padded by Devon's crew as a separate line item, priced at $150 to $300, and they're loaded and braced before the rest of the truck gets packed in around them.

Can we pack half the house ourselves and have your crew finish the rest?▾

Partial packing is common — tell us which rooms you'd rather handle yourself, and the remaining rooms and materials get quoted without charging for boxes you've already packed.

Does someone unpack on the other end, or does packing stop at delivery?▾

Unpacking at the new address is available as an add-on if you'd rather not spend the first week surrounded by boxes — ask for it when you request your written quote.

Why Households Choose Us for This

One Number, Nothing Added Later

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.

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.

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.
