A move rarely happens on a stress-free timeline — a lease ending, a closing date moved up, a job start date that won’t budge. Whatever the reason, Westfield-area residents have several solid options when it’s time to hire movers rather than do it themselves. Here’s a look at five companies serving Westfield and the greater Pioneer Valley, based on services offered, coverage, and what local customers say.
1. Bert Hill Moving & Storage
Based in: Westfield, MA, with a second location in East Granby, CT (right off the Mass Pike and I-91)
Bert Hill Moving & Storage is a family-owned mover headquartered right in Westfield, with a footprint that many single-location competitors can’t match: full-service operations on both sides of the state line. That dual-location setup means a move that starts in Westfield and ends in Hartford — or anywhere along the Western MA/Northern CT corridor — is handled by one company from start to finish, rather than getting handed off between separate movers or brokers.
The team handles residential and commercial moves, packing and unpacking, and short- and long-term storage, and they work regularly with customers throughout Westfield, East Granby, Granby, Simsbury, Southwick, Agawam, West Springfield, Springfield, Hartford, Wilbraham, Southampton, and Belchertown. Being locally owned rather than a franchise or national broker also means the crew showing up on moving day is the same team fielding the phone calls beforehand — not a subcontractor pulled in from out of state.
Good for: Westfield-area movers who want a company headquartered in town, with coverage across both Western Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut and storage options included rather than outsourced.
2. Four Guys And A Truck
Serving: Western Massachusetts, New England, and New York
Four Guys And A Truck has been locally owned and operated for more than 20 years, and it shows up consistently in customer reviews as a dependable choice for both local and longer-distance moves in the Westfield and Springfield area. The company handles full-service moves and is generally well regarded for communication and care with belongings.
Good for: Customers who want an established, veteran local crew for moves within New England and New York.
3. A to Z Moving & Storage, Inc.
Serving: Springfield, Westfield, and the greater Pioneer Valley
In business since 1986, A to Z Moving & Storage is one of the longer-tenured names in the regional moving market. The company handles both residential and commercial relocations and offers protective wrapping for fragile and oversized items as a standard part of the job, along with free estimates.
Good for: Customers who put a premium on a long, verifiable local track record.
4. College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving – Springfield
Serving: Springfield, Westfield, and surrounding communities
As the local franchise of a national brand, College Hunks brings brand-name scheduling tools and marketing reach to the area. Reviews are mixed compared to some of the smaller, independently owned movers on this list — many customers praise the crews as friendly and hardworking, while others have flagged inconsistency between visits, which is common with franchise operations where crews can vary by location and season.
Good for: Customers who want a nationally recognized name and are comfortable booking online with a franchise model.
5. Fresh Start Moving Crew
Serving: Boston, Hartford, Providence, Worcester, and Springfield
Fresh Start covers a wide swath of New England, which makes it one of the few movers on this list with a service area that, like Bert Hill’s, spans both Massachusetts and Connecticut. That regional reach is useful for moves that cross state lines but don’t qualify as true long-haul, cross-country relocations.
Good for: Customers moving between major New England cities who want one company that operates across state lines.
Choosing the Right Mover
A few questions worth asking before you book, no matter which company you call:
- Is the company licensed for the type of move you need? Massachusetts movers must be registered with the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (MDPU), and any mover crossing state lines — including Westfield-to-Connecticut moves — must have a valid USDOT number from the FMCSA. Ask for both and look them up yourself.
- Does the estimate include packing materials, travel time, and stair or elevator fees, or are those add-ons you’ll see on the final invoice?
- Is storage available in-house, or does the company outsource it to a third-party facility if your move-in date slips?
- Will the same company handle both ends of the move if you’re relocating across the MA/CT line, or will you need to coordinate two separate movers?
- What’s the claims process if something is damaged — and is it in writing?
For most people moving in or around Westfield, the deciding factor comes down to whether a mover actually knows the towns you’re moving between and can handle the whole job — including storage — without bringing in a subcontractor partway through. That’s where a locally headquartered mover with coverage on both sides of the MA/CT line, like Bert Hill Moving & Storage, tends to have an edge over movers that only operate in one state or hand off long-distance legs to a national network.
