Burke Moving Company, LLC

Burke Moving Company is a Revere-based mover whose reviews keep circling back to one thing: the owner, Charlie, still personally handles the phone. The company says it's been in business 15 years and covers Revere, Peabody, Danvers, and a dozen more towns across the Greater Boston area, running residential, commercial, and long-distance moves alongside packing and clean-out work. Its Google page shows a 5.0 average from 124 ratings, and the pattern holds up close: in the last six months alone, 17 reviews came in, all but one of them five stars. Recent reviewers describe Charlie agreeing to a last-minute move on a night's notice at a fair rate, and a named crew — Victor, John, and Michael turn up again and again — handling multi-hour jobs, with reviewers noting they reassembled furniture at the new place rather than leaving it in pieces. Several people mention this wasn't their first time calling Burke, and one reviewer who'd previously worked as a mover said the crew beat a 5-to-5.5-hour estimate by finishing in 3 hours flat without cutting corners. The one blemish in that recent stretch is a single 1-star review calling the service 'horrific' and 'unprofessional' — it doesn't say what happened, so there's no way to weigh it against the dozens of detailed, positive accounts naming specific crew members and jobs. Worth asking about all the same, especially for a job with an unusual timeline or fragile items, just to see how it squares with everyone else's experience. For a residential or long-distance move where direct contact with the person actually running the job matters, Burke's reviewers point to a company that shows up, communicates, and puts things back together once they arrive. Confirm the crew size and estimate details up front, the same way other customers describe doing.
