It’s often said that moving home is one of life’s most stressful events. The logistical challenges of relocating all your worldly possessions – not to mention deciding what to keep and leave behind – can be overwhelming, especially if you take on the task without any professional support. In Boston there are a wide number of companies that specialise in home moves. We’ve picked out 5 of the best.

Deathwish Piano Movers
If you’ve got a big, cumbersome piece of furniture that needs shifting, then Deathwish Piano Movers are your go-to guys. Established way back in 1971, they have spent the years since moving the biggest and heaviest of Boston’s finest pianos from location to location. With care and precision, everything from Spinnets to concert grands are expertly moved from some of the area’s highest and tightest spots. They dismantle pianos, pad them, strap them to a piano board and move them to their new homes. As well as pianos, they also offer their services in the event of other furniture companies refusing to make deliveries of oversized pieces because of unanticipated obstacles such as a tight turn in the staircase.
