Intelligent Labor and Moving

We've used Intelligent Labor before, and both times they were great. They were punctual, careful, and efficient. They always asked where we wanted specific items. They also took furniture apart if it couldn't fit down the stairs, and then put it back together.

We could not have been happier with our experience using Intelligent Labor for a cross-town move. From the initial quote, to multiple date changes as our home closing and other pre-moving work dates shifted, to the move day itself, the communication was excellent and the cost was extremely reasonable for the area. We were moving from a 900-sq-ft two bedroom with 13 years worth of stuff, including about 2,000 books. It took a little over 7 hours and the initial estimate was really accurate, despite some bumps at the end. There was some miscommunication when booking, in that I thought they get parking permits unless you specifically say you'll handle them. So we ended up not having permits, but we were OK at the load up and almost made it through the entire unloading before a police officer told us we had to move the truck immediately. Of course at this point it's absolutely pouring rain. And half of what remained to unload was about 30 cardboard boxes full of books. Not only did the crew drive around for a while looking for an alternate place to park, they called the boss who happened to already be nearby, and he came to help navigate and speed up the unloading. Despite all of that chaos at the very end, everyone was extremely professional and went above and beyond to get the job done. We'll definitely use them again. Just make sure you're all clear on who is taking care of the parking permits!

Every time it was amazing. Almost fun, if you think of what moving actually entails. In the first place, the crews were essentially the same, with an occasional new face. So they were familiar to us, and with us, and what they were working with. The jobs were reviewed before the move was scheduled, an estimate given, with reasonable leeway in case something was more complicated, or less so, so that the price would be adjusted accordingly. The crew showed up on time, was cheerful and friendly, got along well with each other and worked efficiently and cooperatively. The chatter among them as they packed everything in the truck indicated a group of men who enjoyed what they were doing and cared about how it was going for us as well. The move from Lexington to Sudbury was large, and it was done in a heavy rainstorm on a cold, raw day, but there was no diminution of energy or spirit. The smaller moves went just as smoothly, and with just as much care and attention to detail. When we were close to moving again last year, the owner came out promptly and gave an estimate that was very close to the one from three years ago, and while we have yet to find the next house, I will call Intelligent again to do the work, without a second thought. I can't recommend them highly enough.

I contacted IL and they sent a form promptly to understand what the move entailed. The form asked for a list of items to be moved and their dimensions. Before both moves, I had to update the list several times and the IL staff did not complain. IL gave me a moving date and time window for my approval. On the first move, the movers called to let me know they were ahead of schedule and to see if they could come at an earlier time;I agreed. The second time, they arrived punctually at the designated time. Paul and his assistant were careful, efficient, prompt and courteous and they made moving a pleasant, relaxed event. I should add that one reason I called IL is that I met both Paul and Ezequiel when the company had just been started by Ezequiel and they were doing handyman work that included moving. They worked on the house next door for several days and I was struck with their professionalism and quality work. So when it was time to move, about 10 years later, IL was top on my list and they did not let me down.

Movers showed up promptly and were very courteous. Most of our stuff was already boxed up and we only had one large item (a children's play structure). Movers packed up some loose items and advised beforehand that this would add to the cost, but the move's total cost came in under the estimate anyway. Everything came out the other side in good shape. Overall a great experience, and these guys were MUCH easier to deal with than the long-distance movers we recently used for a move from California.

I called Intelligent Labor about getting a sofa disassembled and moved and reassembled (after another moving company failed to complete the job). They were very responsive and gave me a quote, but also suggested I call a different company that speciallized in this service because they thought they would be able to do the job for cheaper. I did and it worked out very well. I found this very professional and it makes me confident that if I need more general moving services I would go with them in the future.

Moving is generally a stressful event but a good mover can make the move easier. This is the 3rd time that we used Intelligent Labor/Moving Company. They sent a 3 man crew to move our stuff to the 2nd/3rd floor condo. They were polite and professional. All our furniture/stuff/boxes survived the move w/zero damage. In fact - all the walls and hardwood floors in our condo were fine. What more can we say! They did a GREAT job and made our move a lot easier. Thanks again for a job well done!

These guys are amazing. They made a super-stressful move a breeze. They have the best can-do attitude about everything. They never got stressed or annoyed at how much crap there was to deal with and were happy to help us move stuff around after the move. I thought they would hate us because we were so disorganized, but they made everything go smoothly and stayed positive. Also, when I called around for estimates, they were they only ones that took the time to properly work out what i had and helped me think through everything. So, I felt that they probably gave the most accurate estimate as well. I cannot say enough about how great they movers were. I love these guys! Hire Intelligent, Labor and Moving! It is the smartest move you'll make!

I will never move my own stuff again as long as these guys are in business. From contacting them to request a quote to paying the bill they were incredibly professional and a total pleasure to work with. They were on time and these dudes work hard! I should note that I was moving out of the North End of Boston and even though we pulled permits, people still left their cars in the way and Intelligent Labor and Moving were able to still make it happen in that tight space. They also know how to move things, sounds simple but what I mean is that they have respect for your belongings and know how to get it around tight corners and store it in a truck for transport without damage. Also, I quoted them against a number of other recommended movers and their price was right!

I contacted Intelligent Labor after googling 'best movers boston' and saw that they were very close to our home. I called them and set up a date for the move, at which time they ran me through a questionnaire to get an idea of the inventory of our stuff. They followed up with an email containing that info closer to the move to verify it. They quoted me based on the amount of stuff I provided and overall the quote was pretty close. We actually added more to what we wanted them to move on the day of, which they graciously accommodated so the bill was higher than the original estimate because of that. We had two guys moving us for a full day 9-5 and they were very focused and efficient in getting the move done. We even had some damage to our TV base, which they replaced and then came to our house to put on the TV when it came in at no charge. We will definitely be using them when we move again.

The Intelligent crew was extremely friendly, diligent, and punctual. The move itself was extremely hard with the number and layout of the stairs to our old home. The guys worked like a well oiled machine, and what I thought would be a full day affair was completed in an efficient amount of time. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone. Thanks for the help!

Respectful, cooperative, and competent

3 guys showed up on time. Our building had one elevator broken, so they had to put up with high elevator traffic. The move went smoothly. All our furniture was properly wrapped, etc. They moved quickly even on the second part of the trip, in the early afternoon August heat.

The two men who came to move our furniture were terrific - a great team, with a shared language about moving, and the patience to work around a two year old who really felt he should help out. The desks and bookshelves were large and heavy and yet they managed to get them through narrow doorways and down narrow stairs without a single ding in the walls. They definitely earned their name "Intelligent Moving" as far as I'm concerned - the way they planned each move and discussed it in advance (rather than trying to figure out how to navigate a tricky turn in the staircase while holding a 200lb desk) and took the time to wrap each piece thoroughly even when moving it just down the hall was impressive.

It went fine but the 2 man moving team seemed tired. Packing up the place was fine but they seemed to lose steam when we got to the house to move in. Having used them in the past (when the owner was a part of the team and so it was more efficient and lively), I would say that I was slightly disappointed this time. However, they were courteous and responsive to direction.

They were great and I would definitely give them an ‘A’. They were really nice guys and were very prompt and competitive with price and we were very happy with them. We paid them probably a $1,000. I think we were doing a double move and had half of our stuff moving across town and half of it moving to another town further out, so it was like two moves.

They were punctual, polite, efficient, and overall excellent. A telling example is an oak bookcase that previous movers claimed could not be taken downstairs without damage, but these guys took it downstairs without a scratch (to either bookcase or walls). Out of all movers I have used (including some top-rated movers from Angie's List), these were by far the best. They are the only moving company that I would recommend wholeheartedly to others.

They arrived on Apr 22nd and started loading their van. There were 3 guys and they were quick, efficient, careful and wonderfully polite. They took great care of our possessions and nothing at all was damaged. Ezekiel, the owner was on hand to supervise and he was extremely professional and great to work with. They stored our belongings overnight and delivered them the next afternoon to our new home. They arrived on time and once again offloading from the van was efficient. What a great team. They were friendly and seemed to enjoy their work.Nothing was too much trouble and they were flexible when we asked for something to be done. I would highly recommend Ezekiel and his crew from Intelligent Labor & Moving and would definitely use them again and recommend them to my friends. Moving is a stressful day with deadlines and they made it easy for us. Thanks you Ezekiel, Jessie and ??-sorry am not good with names, forgot the 3rd person's name From Michael and Rosalie Stone

Fantastic! Our experience started when my girlfriend called up IL&M for a quote. We never had them to our condo, but she spend about 20 minutes on the phone with Ezekiel and described our condo and what furniture and other stuff we had, and how far away the new home was etc. We knew from their website that they charge by the hour (not fixed price) and Ezekiel told us it would be approximately $1000 for our move. The move went extremely well. Our move was handled by Vinny's crew (Vinny, Joe and Mit) who were all awesome. They were very thorough, careful to protect our things, friendly, helpful - the perfect movers. They disassembled our larger pieces of furniture and were careful to keep all related pieces/screws/bolts with the furniture so that it was easy to find and reassemble everything. We were a little worried when it took four hours to get everything onto the truck, but the unloading went much faster, and they finished in about six hours total. Long story short, our move cost $1030, absolutely nothing got broken or damaged and the guys who did the move were great guys!

It was absolutely fabulous. They were the best possible moving company and the rate was very reasonable. The people were so sweet and nice that we actually loved moving day. What more can I say, they were extremely sweet, nice and polite. They happy to do absolutely anything I asked them to do and they had good humor, and were totally wonderful. They could come both times when I needed them to, as soon as I wanted.

These guys are good. Prompt callbacks, check-ins a few days before the move, proactive seeking of information, great attitude on the part of the people who did the work. Very helpful and positive attitude all the way along. We're 90 percent unpacked and have found zero breakage so far. My only quibble is that I wish the boxes had been labeled with a little more detail; it would have helped if I could have been present during the packing on this count.

These great guys were fabulous - worked very quickly, for a low price, and without a single slip up - with great attitudes of cheerfulness and positivity. Moving day for us was actually fun!! I would recommend them to the Queen!

They men were prompt, polite, wry, responsible, excellent workers, thoughtful in how they proceeded, quick and did a very good job. Intelligent moving, indeed!

On the packing day, Ezekiel arrived with his crew and looked through our condo. This was good as he gave us two trucks the next day which we needed to move all our stuff. One guy stayed with us to pack (we asked for one as we did much of the packing ourselves). He was efficient, careful and cost-conscious, eventually suggesting that he leave after 3 hours as it became clear that we didn't have all that much more for him to do. The movers arrived the next day within 15 minutes of the given time, worked efficiently the entire time they were on the job and were careful and thorough. Their estimate was accurate and though it took two trucks, they didn't charge us any differently (original estimate said one truck). They also helped us move around some furniture and were professional about that. You can find cheaper movers, but we thought they were a solid value for the money.
