I would give more stars if I could! We have used Safe Responsible Movers for two moves. The most recent one was moving my elderly mom to assisted living. The company excels in communicating clearly, responding quickly to queries and adding super helpful tips throughout the process. On moving day, the moving team was efficient, professional, and very respectful of my mom. All this, and the price was very competitive as well. If I have any further moves in the area, I will definitely use Safe Responsible Movers.

They've worked hard, fast and never slowed down. Much respect to their work and dedication. I couldn't believe it. Without a doubt I would recommend Safe Responsible Movers to anyone who asks.

Inspired to review after using someone else: this company has moved me several times, as well as extended family over many years. I've always been impressed and at ease with their flexibility, efficiency and kind consideration in every move, so never bothered getting other quotes. Then I moved out of state and had to hire other companies for residential and commercial moves. I didn't know how good I had it with this reliable moving company on hand-- haven't been able to find another. Also, owner must be training and treating employees well, it shows.

Safe Responsible Movers did an outstanding job for my move from the Boston area to the suburbs. Pricing was fair, and the job was done quickly, comprehensively and thoughtfully. Additionally, I found the pricing to be very transparent - with other moving companies I've worked with, there were hidden / additional costs when they arrived and I experienced none of that with Safe Responsible Movers. I couldn't believe how fast they were, especially in an industry where they could charge more if the move takes longer! I would never hesitate to use them again.

I have used Safe Responsible Movers 6 years ago when I moved from one town in Massachusetts to another one close by! They were awesome! I am using them again in two weeks when I make a move to a fabulous new home across town! They are so professional and take very good care of each piece of furniture! I will write another review in two weeks when I move again, however in the meantime I highly recommend Safe Responsible Movers!

Absolutely perfect move, from coordination to completion. I booked with just a few weeks notice and the team at Safe Repsonsible Movers got me in no problem. I elected to pay for the permitting service, didn't have to do a thing but pack. 2 friendly guys showed up right on time and speedily and carefully packed up the truck. My (admittedly easy) in town 1br move began at 9a and we wrapped by 10:30a.

Everything came up in perfect condition, no scratches or breakage. They were quick, careful, and friendly from start to finish - and best of all, I paid less than the competition. Can't recommend Safe Responsible Movers enough.

Hands down best moving company ever! No surprises between the quote and the final invoice and a friendly on-site team. Look no further! Yes, I'm a real human. And, yes, I am that enthusiastic about a great moving company. Good luck with your move!

Highly recommend. Best price. Super professional. Fast. No damage (not anything). Did a fantastic job with my 1BR to the new house including disassemble and reassemble bedroom and moving two 250 lbs tool chests.

I used these guys twice.one year ago and two years ago. Today I got burned by a horrible moving crew in Saratoga area which reminded me how solid Safe Responsible Movers were. Fast, efficient, and friendly. Hire them.

They came highly recommended for a good reason. They are nice, quick, and courteous. We have used them twice, and both times we were shocked at how quick and efficient they are. We were packed and ready to go, but they wrapped all dressers, mirrors, glass table tops, and the couch. As they were bringing stuff in, they checked in with me every time and asked where I wanted them to put the stuff. They also offered at the end to move anything, set anything up, or if we needed their help in any way.

Couldn't believe how great of service it was. I'll be recommending them to my boss to use for her move, and anyone else that needs to move. Totally worth the price, and honestly it was a great price!

These guys were great. The whole crew was super nice, very polite and considerate. On top of that they were less expensive than any other quote I received. I would absolutely use them again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to friends.

My boyfriend and I were SO grateful for this company. We got everything nice and organized for them and they thanked us constantly for doing so - very polite employees. They charge an extremely decent price per hour for their work and a flat rate travel fee. They worked very quickly and efficiently and made us feel comfortable, even offering to help us with anything else once they finished. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

We chose Safe Responsible Movers on a personal recommendation and I am happy to pass that on - they were great! They were quick, efficient, careful, and affordable. We moved from Brighton to Malden in practically a morning - and nothing at all was damaged in the process. I am happy to recommend Safe Responsible Movers to anyone planning a move in the area.

I have used Safe Responsible Movers three times now, and every time I am glad I did! I know the name is very plain, but not the employees! The first 2 moves, they moved me right as Hurricanes were hitting the shore. This time it was sweltering heat and 100% humidity. They are might and careful, and nothing was broken even though we were all sweating buckets. I highly recommend them. And I don't even live in Boston! I live on the South Shore, but they are that good!
