Local taskers in Boston

Boston has a famous moving day. With so many leases ending on September 1, Allston, Brighton and Somerville fill with trucks, and taskers who can carry furniture up a triple-decker are in heavy demand. Post early on Taskeeu if your move falls then.

The rest of the year brings handyman tasks in older homes: rehanging doors in a Jamaica Plain triple-decker, fixing radiator covers in Back Bay brownstones or assembling furniture in a new Seaport apartment. Describe the work and compare local bids.

Winters bring snow and ice, so plan shoveling and outdoor jobs accordingly. Many streets are narrow and one way, and moving trucks often need a street occupancy permit from the city. Triple-deckers and brownstones have tight stairwells, and some furniture will only go up through a window or after disassembly.

Frequently asked questions

How busy is September 1 in Boston?

Very busy. Post your moving task weeks ahead if you can and confirm a time window in chat.

Do I need a permit for a moving truck?

Boston requires a street occupancy permit for reserved truck parking on many streets. Arrange it before the move.

Can a tasker get a couch up triple-decker stairs?

Often, with disassembly. Measure the stairwell and share photos so bidders can judge it.

Can I hire snow shoveling?

Yes. Post the task with the area to clear and your preferred timing after a storm.
