Heavy Lifting & Moving Labor on Martha’s Vineyard

Need an extra set of strong hands? We handle the lifting, carrying, loading, unloading, and in-home moving.

Not every job requires a full moving company.

Sometimes you already have the truck.

Sometimes the furniture is already at the house.

Sometimes you just need two people who can get something heavy from Point A to Point B without turning it into an all-day project.

Better Call Bosko provides moving labor and heavy lifting throughout Martha’s Vineyard for homeowners, renters, property managers, contractors, designers, and businesses.

One heavy item or a whole truck to unload - send us the job.

  • Loading moving trucks

  • Unloading moving trucks

  • Loading and unloading storage containers

  • Moving furniture inside a home

  • Moving furniture between floors

  • Carrying heavy items

  • Rearranging rooms

You provide the truck or container when appropriate.

We provide the labor.

Heavy Lifting Help

Some jobs aren't really moves.

You just have something heavy that needs to be somewhere else.

We can evaluate heavy lifting jobs involving:

  • Couches and sectionals

  • Dressers

  • Dining tables

  • Large furniture

  • Appliances

  • Exercise equipment

  • Oversized furniture

  • Heavy boxes

  • Outdoor furniture

  • Large household items

  • Other bulky items

If you're unsure whether we can handle it, send us a photo.

For unusually heavy, specialized, or high-risk items, we'll evaluate the job individually.

In-Home Furniture Moving

Need furniture moved without anything leaving the property?

We do that too.

We can help:

  • Move furniture between rooms

  • Move furniture upstairs or downstairs

  • Rearrange a living room

  • Move bedroom furniture

  • Clear rooms for renovations

  • Move furniture for flooring work

  • Move furniture before or after painting

  • Set up seasonal furniture

  • Move furniture between a house, garage, or guest house

This is especially useful when you don't need transportation at all.

You need the muscle and equipment, not another truck.

Loading & Unloading Help

Already rented a truck, trailer, or moving container?

Better Call Bosko can provide loading and unloading labor on Martha’s Vineyard.

We can help load or unload:

  • Rental moving trucks

  • Box trucks

  • Trailers

  • Moving containers

  • Storage units

  • Personal vehicles

  • Delivery vehicles

Whether you're arriving on the Island, leaving a property, moving between Vineyard homes, or simply putting belongings into storage, we can handle the physical work.

Furniture Delivery Help

Sometimes an item has already made it to Martha’s Vineyard - it just hasn't made it into the house.

We can help with appropriate final-mile and room-of-choice delivery work, including carrying furniture and other large items from a delivery vehicle or handoff point into the property.

For businesses, retailers, designers, and delivery companies needing ongoing on-Island support.

Furniture Assembly & Disassembly

Sometimes the only way something is getting through that doorway is in pieces.

We can handle appropriate furniture assembly and disassembly as part of a moving or heavy-lifting job.

That can include:

  • Bed frames

  • Tables

  • Sectionals

  • Shelving

  • Desks

  • Other appropriate furniture

If disassembly may be necessary, send us photos before the job.

We'll determine the best approach rather than forcing something through a space where it doesn't fit.

Stairs, Tight Doorways & Difficult Carries

The weight of an item is only part of the job.

A heavy dresser on the first floor with a straight path outside is very different from the same dresser at the top of a narrow staircase.

We look at:

  • Stairs

  • Landings

  • Doorways

  • Tight turns

  • Hallways

  • Floor surfaces

  • Exterior steps

  • Distance to the truck

  • Property access

  • Size and shape of the item

For difficult jobs, send photos of the item and the entire path.

That helps us determine the crew, equipment, and approach before we arrive.

Moving Furniture for Contractors & Home Projects

Renovating?

Installing new flooring?

Painting?

Having work done in a room?

Sometimes the contractor needs the room empty before the actual project can start.

We can help move furniture and other appropriate items:

Out before the work. Back in when it's finished.

This can be useful for:

  • Flooring projects

  • Painting

  • Renovations

  • Repairs

  • Furniture installation

  • Property maintenance

  • Rental turnovers

Contractors can keep their crew focused on their trade while we handle the moving and lifting.

Moving Help for Interior Designers & Property Managers

We also provide hands-on moving and placement support for interior designers, property managers, caretakers, realtors, and other property professionals.

That can include:

  • Furniture placement

  • Moving pieces between rooms

  • Moving furniture between properties

  • Delivery assistance

  • Assembly and disassembly

  • Removing old furniture

  • Setting up replacement furniture

  • Heavy lifting

  • Property turnover support

If you regularly need an on-Island crew for these types of jobs, see our Partners page.

One Heavy Item Is Enough

You don't need to be moving an entire house.

Maybe you bought a dresser and need it upstairs.

Maybe the refrigerator needs to reach the basement.

Maybe a sectional needs to move from one room to another.

Maybe a dining table needs to go from the garage into the house.

That's a job.

Send us a photo and tell us where it is and where it needs to go.

Need the Truck Too?

We don't only provide labor.

Better Call Bosko operates a 12-foot enclosed box truck with a liftgate and provides local moving, furniture pickup, and delivery throughout Martha’s Vineyard.

So you can hire us for:

LABOR ONLY - You have the transportation. We handle the lifting.

or

MOVING + TRUCK - We provide the crew and transportation.

Tell us what you're trying to accomplish and we'll determine which service makes sense.

What We Don't Move

Some unusually heavy, specialized, fragile, hazardous, or high-risk items require specialized movers or equipment.

Rather than publishing a blanket promise that we can move everything, we evaluate unusual items individually.

If you have something outside ordinary furniture, appliances, household goods, or moving work:

Send us a photo first.

We'll tell you whether it's a job we're equipped to handle.
