Their bid wasn't the cheapest, but the care they took during the walkthrough made clear that they were carefully assessing the situation—and that attention paid off throughout the process. Noting the site's logistical challenges and since we were moving only ten miles away, they recommended a multi-day process—and it was exactly the right call. The crew, led by Neil and Bobby, were terrific, and they calmly and patiently helped us work through all the little surprises that cropped up. We hope we don't move again anytime soon, but we'd definitely hire them again. read less

I had items in an antique house on the Cape that had to be picked up, packed, and shipped to me in Virginia; the moving company recommended by my realtor didn't have a truck small enough for the pick-up location, but Vanguard managed it without question. They were communicative and responsive throughout the estimate and pick-up process, which went smoothly even though I wasn't there to oversee it, and kept in touch during the time I had to wait until they could schedule the drive down to Virginia. They arrived on the day promised, and called in advance to confirm the time of day (which was exact!). Once here, the crew was friendly, professional, efficient, and respectful of my belongings and house. This company is honest and well-run, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them! read less

They're organized, professional, friendly, and unflappable when - for example - a (surprise!) grand piano awaits them at the new house that needs to be moved. Moving is unpredictable, so having a crew that is there to help is priceless. (But their rates are reasonable, so there's really no reason at all not to use Vangaurd!) read less

From the moment I first contacted Vanguard Moving to the final billing process I felt I was dealing with an honest and reliable local company. Vanguard came out and looked at the job I needed done, and followed up with me through my numerous emails as I changed my mind AND added more that one property to our two day move. They ended up moving three different homes for me! They got it done in the time frame promised and at a cost that was in line with the quotes I was initially provided (even after I changed things up on them...). I dealt with Julie over the phone and through email and she was never anything other than polite and helpful. I can't recommend them enough. I am a realtor and hear all about the different moving companies on the Cape. I will be recommending Vanguard to ALL my clients moving forward. read less

Chris and his crew were professional, upbeat, and took great care of our furniture. Would recommend Vanguard to anyone who is looking for a moving company. Made our move incredibly easy!

The game weighs 345 lbs. and my husband was thinking of moving it himself with the help of friends. Luckily I was referred to this company by a friend. Tom came out to assess things and said it would be no problem to do the job. The guys were confident, thoughtful, professional and so nice to deal with. Although I was too nervous to watch, they moved it with no issues. The office was a pleasure to deal with as well. I would highly recommend Vanguard to anyone needing moving services. read less

Great movers

They were fantastic to work with! Their staff were professional, cordial, and handled our furniture with care. It was a positive experience from first contact all the way to the end after the move. Highly recommend!

Profesional, efficient, and friendly

Worked with Julie and the team at Vanguard for a local business move. Fair quote, easy process to schedule, good crew on moving day, no issues.

We recently had to move from Cambridge, MA to Santa Fe, NM (in the middle of the pandemic, no less!) We weren't sure if a local company would be able to handle this cross-country move, but Vanguard responded to our query within hours. Since in-house visits were impossible because of COVID, Vanguard based their estimate on a FaceTime tour of our apartment and things (the only company to do so; this meant they were also more confident in and committed to their estimate than other moving services we considered). The quote we received was very reasonable and lower than other companies we'd looked at. Tom and his crew showed up on time (wearing PPE) and were extremely professional and friendly. Vanguard was communicative with us throughout the move, they arrived on schedule, and not a single item of ours was damaged in the 35-hour drive. And as a final (unheard of!) surprise, the cost we paid ended up being a little lower than the estimate, since packing and unpacking took less time than they'd predicted. I would recommend this company to anyone with enthusiasm -- they combine the communication and care of a local business with the infrastructure and capacity of a much larger company. Thank you, Tom and Julie, for all your help! You made what could have been a very stressful move so easy for us. read less

Thank you so much for taking such good care of our family's items. Really reasonable price as well. Highly recommend!!! read less

Hired Vanguard to move commercial equipment out of a tight space. They were very professional and organized, and gave a much better experience than I have with other moving companies on Cape Cod. Highly recommended!

The team was on time, professional and efficient! We asked them to pack up belongings to be stored in our basement and dispose of other items into a dumpster we rented from another company. We are so grateful that the guys noticed we had put our Christmas ornaments into the area designated for the dumpster and then saved them for us! The owners, Tom and Julie are a husband and wife team and wonderful to work with. My husband and I have since used Vanguard and refer family and friends to them all the time, knowing they will be well cared for! read less

When they came and quoted us we were told that it included moving everything but not packing our boxes, or materials. They itemized those so we could see exactly what we would be paying for to have them do it. My wife and I packed as much as we could ahead of time, about 70% of our stuff, and disassembled as much as we could the day of in order to save money. We also bought boxes and wrapping supplies that they were more than happy to use before using their stuff and charging us for it. We were told up front that they will do as much or as little as we needed them to do and were incredibly transparent about the service.The entire move took a full day, and the three who moved us also got our furniture in the spaces we wanted them, cleaned up after themselves as needed, and did two walkthroughs of our old apartment to make sure everything was out(1 with each other, then 1 with me to double check).It was the end of July and easily upper 80’s. These guys were sweating, dealing with the sun and packing up our remaining stuff. There was not a single complaint from any of them about the heat. They were upbeat and positive the entire time. I have referred them to friends who have had the same experience as I did and I highly recommend this team! read less
