Company information

Fresh Start—The Moving Crew went from using a borrowed truck to serving over 1,000 customers in only three years. This is a small testament to how good and dedicated these guys are. This company's owner, James Cooper, couldn't be more proud of his team and the quality of their work. From Worcester, they strive to be the best company in Central Massachusetts. To them, this means offering clients the smoothest moving experience in the area. They are particularly fit for this role because each crew member lives in New England. That's how they know the region, like the back of their hands. To you, this translates into specialized advice on permits, licenses, and the works. It also means a faster move because they know all the best routes to take. This knowledgeable team can provide for any number of moving needs. Whether local or long distance, residential or commercial, labor only or full service, they do it all. They'll assist you with packing, unpacking, storage, and moving specialty items. Their repertoire includes pianos, safes, art, and antiques. There are also delivery, junk removal, move-in, and move-out cleaning services on their comprehensive list. If you can't find what you need with them, you won't find it anywhere.
