Marathon Moving serves the Greater Boston area with professional local and long-distance moving services. Their experienced crews specialize in navigating Boston's narrow streets and walk-ups with ease.
Moved from a four-bedroom house and I was dreading it. But these movers made it feel easy. They were fast, organized, and genuinely nice people. Highly recommend without reservation.
Moved across three state lines and they were with me every step of the way. Constant communication, careful handling, and delivered on the exact day promised.
The move went smoothly for the most part. A couple of boxes were mislabeled but the crew fixed it right away. Overall a great experience, I would recommend them.
I have a lot of fragile collectibles and was very nervous. The movers custom-wrapped each piece individually and every single one arrived perfectly. Trust these guys completely.
Where do I even begin? Marathon Moving handled my move from Santa Ana, CA to Columbus, OH and it was, without exaggeration, the smoothest moving experience of my life. I had been dreading this move for weeks — packing up a four-bedroom house with two kids and a dog felt impossible — but from the moment Eddie and his crew knocked on my door at 7:45 AM, all my anxiety melted away. These guys are true professionals. They came in, did a quick assessment, and then worked like a well-oiled machine for the next five hours. What impressed me most was their attention to the little things. They took the doors off my hinges to get the couch out, then put them right back on. They shrink-wrapped my upholstered furniture to protect against dirt and moisture. They used wardrobe boxes so my clothes stayed on hangers. Eddie personally handled my home office equipment, double-boxing my monitors and printers. When they arrived at the destination in Columbus, OH, the unloading was just as meticulous. They placed every box in the room it was labeled for, reassembled all my bedroom furniture, and even helped me center my dining table under the light fixture. They hauled away all packing materials and left my new home spotless. Total cost was about $5,000, slightly under what two other companies quoted. No damage, no delays, no drama. Marathon Moving has earned a customer for life. Mia Reyes
Good movers who clearly know what they are doing at Marathon Moving. They packed everything carefully and loaded the truck efficiently. The only small issue was that a bolt went missing during the disassembly of my bed frame, but Junior apologized and replaced it on the spot from a hardware kit they carry. That kind of preparedness says a lot about the company. My move from Boston, MA to Dallas, TX went smoothly and cost $2,900. Would use Marathon Moving again. Brenda Morris

The movers were courteous, fast, and extremely careful with our belongings. They wrapped every piece of furniture and used blankets on all the sharp corners. Arrived at destination in perfect condition.
I am writing this review because I want everyone to know how incredible Marathon Moving is. My move from Memphis, TN to Newark, NJ was handled with a level of professionalism that I did not know existed in the moving industry. Frankie, the crew chief, called me the night before to confirm the arrival time and answer any last-minute questions. The team showed up at exactly 8 AM in a clean, well-maintained truck. They introduced themselves, shook my hand, and asked me to walk them through the house. I have a lot of fragile items — crystal vases, framed artwork, a grandfather clock — and Frankie assured me they would take extra care with each one. Every fragile item was individually wrapped in packing paper and then bubble-wrapped before being placed in a double-walled box. My grandfather clock was padded so heavily it looked like it was wearing a winter coat. The crew loaded my entire two-bedroom apartment in about three hours and did a final walkthrough. Delivery in Newark, NJ happened two days later, right on schedule. The unloading crew was equally impressive — careful, respectful, and quick. They laid down runners on my hardwood floors and corner guards on the door frames. I inspected every item and found zero damage. The bill was exactly as quoted: $3,450, no hidden charges. I have already recommended Marathon Moving to three coworkers. Laura Sanchez
Great service from a friendly and hardworking crew at Marathon Moving. They wrapped all my furniture carefully and handled my fragile boxes with extra attention. There was a minor communication delay with the dispatch office on the morning of the move, but Eddie and the actual movers were excellent and more than made up for it. Everything was delivered on time and in great shape from Atlanta, GA to Arlington, TX. The price was competitive at $2,700 and there were no hidden fees. I would happily book Marathon Moving again for my next move. Solid four stars. Amelia Morgan

Where do I even begin? Marathon Moving handled my move from Staten Island, NY to Raleigh, NC and it was, without exaggeration, the smoothest moving experience of my life.

These movers are the real deal. Professional, fast, and honest. The final bill matched the quote exactly. I have already recommended them to my coworkers.
These guys were phenomenal. Showed up early, worked fast, and not a single item was damaged. The crew lead walked through everything with me before and after. I was blown away by the professionalism.
Very happy with how my move went with Marathon Moving. The crew was professional, efficient, and respectful of my home. They laid down floor protection and wore shoe covers, which I really appreciated. I am docking one star because the scheduling process was slightly confusing at first, but the office staff resolved it quickly and the actual move day was smooth. Carlos was the crew lead and he was great — friendly, careful, and fast. My move from Staten Island, NY to Philadelphia, PA cost $2,500, which was fair. Good value for a quality service.

From packing to delivery, every step was handled with professionalism. The team wrapped my flat screen TVs with custom padding. Nothing was scratched or dented. Amazing service.
Four stars because one of the guys showed up a bit late, but once they got started it was great. Careful with everything and very professional attitude overall.
Reliable service at a fair price from Marathon Moving. The crew was polite, worked hard, and finished faster than the estimated time. Communication from the office could have been a bit more responsive in the days leading up to the move, but on moving day everything went smoothly. Hector and his team were careful with all my items from Fresno, CA to Colorado Springs, CO. All my items arrived safely and the crew was friendly throughout. The final price was $2,600. I would recommend Marathon Moving to anyone. Katherine Cruz
The best money I have ever spent on a move. The crew was efficient, friendly, and incredibly careful. My wine collection and artwork arrived in perfect condition. Truly grateful.
