There are tons of moving companies. Why are we different? I will be the first to admit the carrying a box from point A to point B isn't that challenging. But hoisting a couch up to a third floor window is. So is moving a piano up several flights of stairs. Driving a 26 foot truck in a snowstorm in the North End of Boston is too.
Knowing how to negotiate with a concierge, building residents, the parking officer, and other moving companies in the middle of June so we all get what we need is too. There is a lot that goes into being successful as a moving company in Boston and a great deal of it has nothing to do with being strong.
After 25 years of working in the moving business, I decided I could do things better than what I was seeing in the industry. Moving is expensive and our customers deserved our absolute best at all times, and quite frankly, I didn't think I was seeing that. So I bet on myself and opened up shop. We are a small company.

Working with Ryan to move a couch to my basement was like having a friend’s or neighbor’s help, with the bonus of professional expertise. He was really easy to work with, was willing to adjust our appointment to avoid rain, and made the job stress-free. He’ll definitely be the first call for my next move! Highly recommend Ryan/Husky Movers!

I hired Ryan and Husky to help me with some handiman projects that requires lifting, moving, unbolting, sawing, etc. some of the projects really took some ingenuity and real-time problem solving.
I found Ryan to be very responsive, completely up front on pricing, shows up on time or early, and meets his commitments. He is honest and communicates clearly about the impact your decisions will have on project completion and pricing. Basically, he’s very collaborative and great to work with.
Not only is Ryan all of these things, but he really saved me. In these times of Covid, it’s hard to find

I have worked with Ryan three times now while setting up a new place. He has helped me build furniture, mount paintings, mount mirrors, and install curtain rods & curtains.
My curtain project was especially tricky. My building is old, not totally level, and one of the windows is directly against the corner of a room. I contacted Ryan and asked if he had any ideas so that I could buy supplies for when he came to help install them. I have zero handyman skills, and needed an expert opinion. Not only did he take the time to analyze my problem, he also gave me several options based on different aesthetic

I’ve engaged Husky’s services for three moves to-date. My experience with each move has been excellent, without exception: Ryan (Owner, Husky) is punctual, focused, and efficient, comes prepared, and handles fragile items and furniture carefully, as if they were his own.
Moving is never an easy feat, and partnering with the right mover/moving service makes all the difference. Ryan is experienced in his trade, and it shows. Husky’s services come with my highest recommendation, and I look forward to engaging them again for my next move.

Ryan at Husky Moving helped me move across Arlington into my new home last week, and I could not have done it without him! He was punctual and professional, and took great care with my belongings & the apartment. Ryan is full of knowledge, well-organized, and also took the time to help me install my AC unit (much appreciated!). Thanks a million!!

We couldn’t have done it without Husky Moving! Ryan, the owner, went beyond and above to satisfy our needs. We initially thought we only needed him to move us from point A to point B but when we arrived we realized we needed a TV mounted, ottoman assembled, towel hanger installed and Ryan was able to do it all with no complaints. He was professional, careful and dedicated to everything he helped us with. Highly recommend Husky Moving- We will use him again in the future without question!!

Ryan from Husky Moving did an amazing job with this handyman small project! He hung a transom window above a staircase, and it was a tricky location to maneuver using multiple ladders. Professional, fast, and he made sure to lay down blankets so that he didn’t damage the wood floors. Unusual task, but he was a pro from start to finish!

Expensive!! $500 for emptying a small storage unit, a couple of small window a/c! I have moved from a 4 bedroom house to another 4 bedroom house and paid $700 which including placing furniture in it's place. NOT recommended!
Update after posting my review:
Ryan started to harass me for giving him a low rating, as expected from a bad business person. Instead of trying to improve the experience for the customer, let's go after them!!
The move he is trying to use to discredit my review is a 2bed to 2bed move that WAS less than $500. Only if he cared to listen and understand what the customer

Ryan (Owner) moved me two weeks ago and then I hired him again to come back and power wash my deck and assemble and hang a barn door. He did an AMAZING job! Husky Movers is efficient, timely, and reasonably priced for the top notch service they provide! Extremely professional and knowledgeable about so many things! I highly recommend them for house moves along with any small jobs - Husky moving is the best!

Once again Ryan came through amazingly. This time, I needed two very large paintings hung high above a staircase. Ryan had all the right equipment (even a laser leveler) and materials, but even more importantly, the right skills.
As a result, the job went flawlessly and smoothly. Just like his previous work for me (a small move), I recommend Ryan and Husky Moving wholeheartedly. Thank you.

Ryan and his crew at Husky Moving are extremely professional and polite! They took great care of my furniture and belongings. They move huge pieces of furniture with ease and made it look easy! They get the job done fast! Husky Movers are very efficient in loading and unloading. I highly recommend Husky Movers!
