Separate the shipment by destination
A move may send most belongings to a new home while a smaller group stays in storage. Before the walkthrough, identify the items for immediate delivery, the rooms they belong in and anything you will transport yourself. For a smaller apartment move, include the number of rooms and any large pieces rather than relying on box count alone. For a larger household, list furniture by room and flag items needing disassembly or special protection.
Apartment and household access need their own checks
Apartment moving addresses stairs, narrow hallways and building access. Confirm move rules and any elevator reservation with the property contact. In a house, measure bulky furniture against doorways, stair turns and the next room’s layout. Share those details at both ends of the move. Our residential service includes a written walkthrough, a dedicated crew lead and a 360-degree photo inventory before items move.
Storage for the interval between homes
Mastodon’s existing Wellesley moving article describes both moving and storage needs. Storage is provided from our Westborough base, not a Wellesley office. The 34,000 sq ft climate-controlled warehouse supports belongings held between dates, during a renovation or while you decide what fits the next space.
Inventory and condition records accompany storage. Keep essentials outside the stored shipment and identify anything you may need delivered earlier than the rest. Discuss the anticipated return date and destination access with the team; warehouse pickup and delivery are coordinated rather than self-service.
Fragile pieces deserve a separate packing decision
Professional packing can cover everything, selected rooms or fragile items only. Ask about suitable protection for glassware, artwork and other delicate pieces before loading day. Our specialty and custom-crating service provides tailored protection for suitable items; dimensions and photos help the team assess the work involved. Room labels should describe the destination, especially when the new home’s layout differs from the old one.
When the move takes you out of the area
Our long-distance service uses the same dedicated crew at pickup and delivery, with a transit timeline and GPS-tracked transport. Share the destination’s loading restrictions as well as the Wellesley address. For a regional move, explore MetroWest or Boston moving considerations.
Request a quote with both addresses, your preferred dates, approximate contents and any packing or storage requirements. Wellesley is part of our service-area coverage; the business remains based in Westborough. Return to the service-area hub to explore the wider region.
