How a Cape Cod Move Works from Our Waltham Base
Every Cape Cod move starts from our headquarters at 252R Calvary Street in Waltham. Your crew loads at the origin, drives the route — Route 3 over the Sagamore Bridge for the Upper and Mid Cape, or I-495 to Route 25 and the Bourne Bridge for Falmouth and the south side — and unloads the same day with the same truck and the same crew. There are no warehouse transfers, no third-party carriers, and no brokers anywhere in the chain, which is where most long-distance damage and delays actually happen.
Billing is the same transparent hourly model we use everywhere: $149/hr for a 2-mover crew, $179/hr for 3 movers, $219/hr for 4, with a 3-hour minimum and 15-minute increments after that. Travel time is part of the hourly clock and we quote it up front, so a Dennis or Harwich move comes with a realistic door-to-door estimate before we ever load a box — not a surprise at the end. No stair fees, no fuel surcharges, no hidden line items.
Timing the Bridges (and Why It Saves You Money)
Anyone who has driven to the Cape on a summer Saturday knows the variable that matters: the bridges. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, Saturday is changeover day for rentals and the Sagamore backs up by mid-morning. Because you're paying hourly, we plan around that — early-morning departures from Waltham, mid-week move dates when your schedule allows, and off-season scheduling from October through April when the Cape is wide open and our calendar is most flexible.
Cape housing has its own personality: antique capes and cottages with narrow staircases and low door headers, raised beach houses with exterior stairs, and newer construction in villages like New Seabury and The Pinehills-style developments. Our crews pad and wrap everything, protect floors at both ends, and bring the right dollies for sandy driveways and long carries — standard on every job, never an upcharge.
Seasonal Homes, Year-Round Moves, and Storage Between
A large share of our Cape work is second homes: furnishing a new purchase, clearing a sold cottage, or shuttling furniture between a Boston-area home and the Cape house. We also handle year-round relocations in both directions — families moving to the Cape full-time and Cape residents heading into Greater Boston. If your closing dates don't line up, our secure, climate-controlled storage in Waltham bridges the gap: we load once, store your goods wrapped, and deliver to the Cape when the new place is ready.
Every crew member is a full-time, trained W-2 employee — no day labor, ever. We're licensed for interstate and intrastate moving (USDOT #1718049, MDPU #31391), fully insured, and backed by 817+ Google reviews across 33,158+ completed moves since 2002.
Cape Cod Towns We Serve
We move customers to and from every town and village on the Cape. Falmouth has its own dedicated page; for everywhere else on this list — Barnstable and its seven villages included — this is your page. Same crews, same rates, same service.
Cape Cod Moving FAQs
How much does it cost to move from Boston to Cape Cod?
A typical 2-bedroom Boston-to-Cape move runs roughly $900–$1,500 depending on the town: it's the same hourly rates as our local moves ($149–$219/hr by crew size, 3-hour minimum, 15-minute increments) with the round-trip drive time included in the quote. Mid Cape towns like Dennis or Yarmouth add about 1.5 hours of driving each way from Waltham; Outer Cape towns like Wellfleet or Provincetown add 2 to 2.5 hours. You get the full door-to-door estimate in writing before move day.
Do you move to the Outer Cape — Wellfleet, Truro, Provincetown?
Yes — we run the full length of Route 6 regularly. Outer Cape moves are scheduled as early-start, single-day jobs so the crew loads in Greater Boston in the morning and unloads on the Outer Cape the same afternoon. In summer we plan departures around bridge and Route 6 traffic, which the hourly model rewards: less time in traffic is money back in your pocket.
Can you move my summer house furniture into storage for the winter?
Yes. We offer short- and long-term storage in our secure Waltham facility — a common pattern for Cape homeowners is a fall pickup, winter storage, and spring redelivery. Your furniture stays blanket-wrapped on vaults from pickup to redelivery, and you only pay for the storage time you use.
When is the cheapest time to move to or from the Cape?
October through April, mid-week. You avoid bridge traffic (less drive time on the hourly clock), our off-peak rate tiers apply, and date availability is wide open. If you must move in summer, a Tuesday–Thursday move date avoids the Saturday changeover crunch entirely.
