List the belongings on each level
| Part of the home | Details for your quote |
|---|---|
| Main living areas | Furniture, estimated cartons and any items staying |
| Upper floors | Stair turns, landing size and large furniture dimensions |
| Basement | Contents, interior stairs and any usable walkout |
| Garage or separate storage | Inventory, entrance and distance to the truck |
Include how each group reaches the loading position. A basement floor number alone does not explain whether the crew can use a level exit or must carry everything through the house.
A direct exit still needs a clear approach
Check what is outside the basement door
A walkout can offer a different route for furniture, but the ground beyond it matters. Show the surface, steps, slope and distance to the available truck position. Include the usable doorway opening and any turn needed immediately inside.
Ask Milvus to review that route with the dimensions of the larger pieces. Keep it clear while packing, and arrange access through any gate or locked door. Do not stack finished cartons where a dolly or furniture needs to pass.
Review the receiving home too. A piece that leaves through a wide lower-level exit may need to go upstairs or turn through a smaller opening at the destination.
Choose the preparation
Build the work around your inventory
Fragile-item help
List mirrors, artwork, glassware and delicate pieces. Agree on their packing, materials and any special preparation before the appointment.
Broader packing support
Request rooms or the household to be packed. Explain what remains in daily use and coordinate the preparation dates.
Rates and your estimate
Holden local moving rates
Milvus publishes five date categories for local moving. The table shows the hourly rate for a crew with a truck. Confirm the category for your date and the complete booking terms before accepting your estimate.
| Date category | 2 movers + truck | 3 movers + truck | 4 movers + truck |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discount | $110/hr | $160/hr | $210/hr |
| Regular | $120/hr | $170/hr | $220/hr |
| Subpeak | $150/hr | $200/hr | $250/hr |
| Peak | $180/hr | $230/hr | $280/hr |
| Highpeak | $260/hr | $360/hr | $460/hr |
Additional mover and additional truck rates are $55/hour each in the Discount category, $65/hour each in Regular, Subpeak and Peak, and $75/hour each in Highpeak. Ask which crew and vehicle arrangement fits your inventory.
The hourly rate is one part of the estimate. Confirm minimum billable time, travel, packing labor and materials, access-related work and any other applicable charges. A move is not booked by viewing these rates.
What deserves a closer look
Point out the items the room count cannot describe
Repairs, restoration, mounting and technical installation are different from moving. Identify the exact preparation and assembly you want in the estimate rather than assuming every related task is included.
Assembled indoors
Tell Milvus about furniture built in its current room. Identify the construction and parts before deciding who disassembles it.
Delicate or loose components
Show shelves, glass, existing damage or loose joints. Keep owner-removed hardware identified with the relevant item.
Heavy or unusual equipment
Provide dimensions and access photographs. Have its handling reviewed before the crew and vehicle arrangement is confirmed.
At the other end
Direct delivery and storage need different preparation
Move directly into the next home
Have keys, receiving access and an available person ready. Choose rooms for larger furniture and leave space for agreed assembly.
Store the load between homes
Define the stored inventory and likely duration. Confirm conditions, access, handling and later delivery charges, keeping personal essentials with you.
Bring the cost and route together
Review the complete Holden appointment
Milvus is based in Waltham. Have travel and billable time explained along with the hourly crew rate, date category, minimum billing and any applicable preparation charges. Include all addresses and extra stops in the initial request.
If the destination is outside Massachusetts, request an interstate estimate with the receiving arrangement specified for that route. The local rate table does not establish a long-distance total.
Before booking, check that the inventory, access and services in the estimate match the work you need. Tell Milvus promptly if more belongings are added or property access changes.
Questions before you book
A few more details
Have a different situation? Call 857-895-8955 and talk it through with Milvus.
Can Milvus move a split-level house in Holden?
Yes. List the inventory by level and describe the route from each room to the truck, including stairs and any usable walkout.
Is a basement walkout always the easiest route?
The doorway and outside approach need review. Show steps, surface, slope and carrying distance along with furniture dimensions.
Can I ask for fragile-item packing only?
Yes. Identify the items and quantities and agree on labor, materials and timing in the estimate.
Should I take furniture apart first?
Discuss the preparation before doing it. If you remove parts yourself, keep components and hardware identified with the furniture.
How does travel affect the Holden estimate?
Milvus is based in Waltham. Request the full travel and billable-time calculation rather than estimating the appointment from the drive between homes alone.
Can storage be included if the next home is delayed?
Discuss the gap before collection. Confirm the inventory, duration, conditions, access, handling and later delivery.
