“If I could rate the movers with 10 stars, I would. Pedro and Alberto were fantastic! They were friendly, professional, and they did a great job. I highly recommend them.”
Packing is where most moves go wrong — and in Brookline, where median single-family home values exceed $1.5 million and homes contain antiques, artwork, custom furniture, and irreplaceable belongings, the stakes are higher than almost anywhere else in Greater Boston. Boxes that aren’t properly packed shift in transit. Items that aren’t individually wrapped arrive damaged. In Brookline, that means belongings that can’t be replaced.
Smart Penny Moving® offers two packing options for Brookline customers:
• Full packing — our crew handles everything, room by room. Every drawer, every shelf, every fragile item packed with proper boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, and furniture blankets. You don’t lift a finger.
• Partial packing — you handle most of it and we focus on the items that need professional attention: artwork, china, glassware, electronics, antiques, or any room you haven’t had time for.
Brookline’s housing range — Victorian estates in Fisher Hill, century-old apartments in Brookline Village, high-rise condos along Beacon Street — contains a wide variety of belongings that need different packing approaches. High-rise buildings along Beacon Street have freight elevator schedules that limit your window. Large estate moves in Chestnut Hill involve antiques and custom furniture that need individual attention and specialty materials.
Our crew arrives from our Woburn headquarters — accessible from Brookline via Route 9 — with all the materials needed: the right size boxes for every item type, packing paper, bubble wrap, stretch wrap, furniture blankets, corner protectors, and mirror boxes for artwork. Nothing gets loaded onto our truck unprotected. Everything is labeled by room so unloading at your new address is efficient.
Everything in your Brookline home packed by our crew — every room, every housing type. Victorian estate in Fisher Hill or high-rise condo on Beacon Street, we bring all materials and work room by room. Best for Brookline’s professional households who want the entire process handled to the highest standard.
You’ve handled most of it — we step in where you need us. One difficult room, a collection of antiques or artwork, or high-value furniture that needs proper wrapping and specialty materials before the move.
Prefer to pack yourself? Order boxes, tape, packing paper, bubble wrap, and mattress covers — delivered to your Brookline address from our Woburn headquarters via Route 9. Free delivery on orders of 25 boxes or more.
