I hired Smart Penny to move my 1 bedroom apartment to the next town over. Estuardo, Alex P & Alex M had the entire job done in 3 1/2-4 hours. They were friendly, efficient and definitely knew what they were doing. Very hard workers. I would and have recommend them to anyone read more

I have used this company twice and am always satisfied. One of my moves was from a Boston apartment to the suburbs and they navigated the small staircases in the city with ease. Nothing was dinged scratched or broken which was my biggest concern. The movers work very quickly and ensure to protect each piece of furniture with padded fabrics and tape. The prices are very fair for the dedication and care they provide. I 1000% recommend this company and will use them again the future. read more

Moved from Cambridge to Boston in November. They got back to me quick with a very reasonable quote. The moving guys were great and were very careful with my things. Highly recommend and will use in the future. read more

The gentlemen that moved me were awesome. They were at my apartment at 8:00 am and had my whole apartment in the truck by 10:30am. Everything was wrapped and handle with care. They got to my new home in 45 minutes and had my whole home unpacked by 1:30 pm. They put the beds back together. I would definitely recommend them to everyone! read more

The 3 gentlemen that came to move us, were very respectful, friendly, professional and took very good care of our furniture and they moved it from Stoneham to Woburn in a timely manner. In fact, I was quite surprised on how quick they were able to bring it in to our new place, situate it, and assemble with no issues. My husband and I are very pleased with the results. The cost was no as much as we anticipated. The person I dealt with, Michael, was very helpful and in my opinion has a great personality and in this type of business you need that. We would like to thank Michael and his staff for making our move a great experience. I would highly recommend Smart Penny Moving to my friends. Thank you, Al Kipnis and Karyn Lockhart-Kipnis. read more

Smart Penny, first of all, has great, tireless guys w working for them. Secondly, they treated our furniture gently, and left no scratches on the stairwell walls (ok, maybe one small one). They had to dissassemble some furniture, but too time and patience to reassemble items. Overall, we strongly recommend them. read more

The customer service after the move was great, but the move itself was a disaster. I am still finding items that were intact before the move in June broken. what gets me is parts were hidden behind the door or left in a corner. The antique lamp had been passed down, destroyed. Smart Penny it was not.It's funny how everyone except me has a good review. I guess I was given the special movers. I wish I had saved the pictures. 3 stars is being kind. read more

We used Smart Penny Moving this past weekend for a fairly substantial move including three levels of our existing home and moved into a three level townhouse, including the basement. A lot of things that were not originally on the plan were added by us last minute, and the crew led by Alberto, never batted an eye. They simply said OK, and did everything that was asked of them in a very professional manner. I can't say enough good things about Smart Penny moving. I would definitely highly recommend to others looking for a mover around Bosto. I've had many moves in my life and this was as smooth as any. Plus, it was a great group of guys and that made us feel completely comfortable during the entire move. Thanks. Rob read more

I had a wonderful experience with Smart Penny from start to finish. My move coordinator was great and so friendly, and my two movers (Hilton and George) worked so quickly and with care. I have no complaints or criticisms - it was truly flawless. They made this move by far my smoothest yet. I only leave reviews when it's either really good or really bad and this was worth the time to write. I can't recommend them enough. read more

Working with the moving coordinator was incredibly easy and straight forward, and he responded quickly to any questions I emailed or called about. The three men that did the actual moving were kind, thoughtful, and did a great job. It was very important to me to keep our cat safe from getting outside during all the hustle and bustle, and they were very conscientious about making sure to keep her shut in the room I'd requested. I highly recommend them and will certainly be in touch if I need movers again! read more

These guys were great! They moved us quickly & professionally from Needham to Newton. Would definitely recommend!

This was our first ever time using movers. They called us a few hours early and gave us the option to start early, which was really nice and worked well. Honestly nothing but good things to say. They were nice, incredibly efficient and effective. I felt like they were trying to do the best job they could to ensure our things were packaged and moved safely AND I felt like they were moving as fast as they could to save us money. Super polite as well. All of this, by the way, was moving us out of an apartment with no AC, no elevator and two flights of stairs in the middle of August. 5 stars, easiest review I will ever write. The cherry on top is that their quote was the lowest price by far in the area. I shopped around a lot, called many companies and Smart Penny was the cheapest by a wide margin. They ended up right above their quote, but I take responsibility for forgetting a few items when we were quoting in the first place. In the moment they were super apologetic that it might end up being higher than the original quote, even though the discrepancy was totally my fault. I cant say enough good things, they won me over. I highly recommend and will make sure any of my family/friends in Boston know just how well the team treated me. read more

Hired these guys last summer for a move from Boston to southern Maine. They managed to sneak me in at the local rate AND they moved me on 4th of July weekend. The two gentlemen they sent to do the move were fantastic. Fast, professional, hard working, and very friendly. Even though I only bought the basic moving service they still helped pack things up more efficiently and safeguarded all my furniture. When we reached the location they even helped us move a few things the previous tenants had left in the apartment. When it comes time to move again I know who I'll be calling! read more

I loved working with Smart Penny Moving! The help and assistance prior to the move was fantastic. The movers were professional, timely and did an excellent job. Their pricing was so affordable and the best price I got from all the movers in the area. I will definitely work with them again. read more

I can't say enough good things about these guys! Hilton and his crew were phenomenal and I would have happily paid more for the level of service I received. Every crew member was careful, courteous, and highly competent. In all, our move was almost exactly as it was estimated which is no small feat considering we were in a 3rd story walk up. After moving 15 times over the last 2 decades, I can honestly say this has been the best experience of all our moves. I regret not finding these movers sooner. read more

Our very large armoire needed to be moved along with a bed. Brothers, Nanga and Pedro, tried to squeeze it down our very tight stair case. It didn't fit. They spent an hour trying to take it apart, relying on YouTube and ingenuity. After taking the base off, they were able to snake it down the stairs. Unfortunately, a bit of damage was done to our walls in the process (more on that later). We had a two-part pick up as they needed to swap out a mattress at our daughters apartment and pick up additional items. When we arrived, there far more items than expected. Without any complaints, Nanga and Pedro loaded up everything and delivered the material to the last stop, unexpectedly facing an even smaller staircase. They had to take the armoire apart further. While it took longer than expected because of the architectural challenges, they got everything moved in and reassembled. When I spoke to the company about the hallway wall damage, they had someone come out the next business day to repair everything. There's no longer any evidence of damage. Everyone was very friendly, professional and worked hard to get us settled. We will call them again for our next move. read more

Do yourself a favor and hold them to their webpage promise of getting parking permits. With or without a permit only legal parking is allowed. Permits alleviate neighbor stress by providing advance warning and an end time. I was out gardening and waiting for a text from a daughter wanting to be picked up but the driver didn't even ask about blocking my driveway; when I approached him, he copped out that he was just the mover not the homeowner. Do the right thing if you want new neighbors to actually believe you'll be less annoying than your construction/renovation company was for two years. (See plenty of space behind the truck? Parking in that space going going the correct direction on this two-way street would have put the van opening in the same place). http://www.parksomerville.com/pdfs/permits/Moving_Van_No_Parking_Signs.pdf read more

Professional and excellent group of young guys. They made our move very easy and affordable. l recommend these guys to anytime. They did everything from packing and setting up all our furniture in our new place. read more

I highly recommend Smart Penny Moving. My Mom recently moved from Somerville to Kingston and the move went flawlessly. Each time I communicated with this company, either over the phone or by email, the response from office staff was quick and thorough. The contract was clear and the price was competitive. I received a call on the morning of the move to give an estimated time of arrival, which was most helpful. The three young men who worked on the move were polite, helpful and efficient, making the experience far less stressful for us. They treated our furniture and fragile pieces with great care. Thank you Smart Penny Moving!!! read more

Hired Smart Penny after they provided the best quote as well as they were recommended by a neighbor. Smart Penny estimated it would take 3 hours to move the big furniture in the house but it took them 6.25 over double, so now the best quote has turned into the worst quote. Mike was always "supervising" instead of working, despite paying for 3 movers. It took Mike over 45 minutes to assemble 2 twin beds (4 allen wrench screws and screws down bunkie boards) I had to fix the bunkie boards as he didnt even screw the screws all the way in. The Mike told me they couldn't fit the full size boxspring in my basement he told me "it isnt possible" After Smart Penny left my husband and a friend got the full sized boxspring in the basement in less than 5 minutes. Mike could not figure out how to get dresser from the second floor to the first floor,I had to tell them how to get it down. When you hire Smart Penny you do not get experience, you just get people that might be able to move your furniture. read more

I had the best experience ever with Smart Penny Moving for my recent move from Boston to South Carolina. The team they sent was very professional, hard-working and respectful of my belongings. They took great care to wrap all of my furniture so that nothing would get damaged. They were extremely efficient. Their quote was very reasonable and with the 5% discount for cash (checks accepted as cash), my total expenses (even with additional boxes/packing needed for some floor lamps and miscellaneous items I did not have boxes for), it still came in under the original quote. I have moved several times in the past 10 years and have never had such a positive experience. The only thing that wasn't perfect was that my bed with the large storage drawers was not assembled properly and the two drawers do not close correctly. I should have checked that before they left but I didn't think to. Even so, I am still very, very satisfied and recommend them without hesitation. A big thank you to Hilton and Rino and the two other movers (Pedro and ???) who made this move such a positive experience. read more

I just moved my parents from Boston to Chicago. After looking for movers for about a month I decided to go with local movers called Smart Penny Moving. Best decision ive ever made! They made this transition as easy as it could have been for my parents. On time, efficient, professional, everything you would want from the movers. I would definitely use and recommend them to everyone! read more

I had three movers come out to move us...they were fantastic. They worked hard, were professional and got the job done...all of this and at a very reasonable price! read more

I made an appointment with Smart Penny Moving for an estimate. I worked for two days packing, preparing, and organizing the furniture and boxes that I wanted moved from MA to PA. I prepared an itemized list to simplify the process. I got up early to make sure that everything was in place for the 11:00 appointment. I waited outside to guide the estimator out to my Carriage House, again to save time. At 11:08, I received a call saying that traffic was heavy and that he would arrive NO LATER THAN 1:00 PM. I wasn't pleased but, because I had already invested so much time in preparing, I decided to continue waiting, despite the fact that I had an afternoon appointment across town. One o'clock came and went, but still nobody showed up. By the time I finally received another call with yet another lame excuse, I had steam coming out of my ears. Why would I trust my antiques and other belongings to a company that couldn't even make and keep an appointment, much less twice on the same day!!! I received yet another call from the company after I told the driver not to bother showing up--that i intended to find a different moving company. Also worth mentioning: I mentioned YELP when I first contacted the company, but the person I spoke with did not offer any discount as described online. My experience with this company was a frustrating waste of time and energy. And I still do not have a moving estimate... read more
