Maki Moving LLC

Two Reddit threads a year apart, two different neighbors, the same answer: call Maki. The company says it was started in 2019 by the Maki family and is run by Christian Maki, who it describes as having 20 years in the moving trade. Out of Essex, it takes on house moves, small commercial and office relocations, packing, hauling and deliveries. The useful part is what people who hired them wrote unprompted. In June 2026 a commenter on r/northshore described a whole-house move with about five movers for $2,650 — on time, nothing damaged. In April 2025 someone on r/SalemMA called the crew easy to work with, efficient and budget friendly, naming Christian and his guys directly. Both of those are single anonymous comments, and they are the whole of the third-party word on this company: no collected customer ratings sit behind them, and by its own account the business is seven years old. That makes the praise credible but shallow — enough to put them on a shortlist, not enough to carry a strong verdict. A sensible fit if you want a small North Shore outfit for a straightforward residential move. Ask for crew size, hourly rate and the damage policy in writing before booking — the one price in circulation is one customer's total for one job, not a published rate.
