Planning around residential streets and family homes on moving day in Somerville

Somerville is a residential suburb with a population of 4,338 at the 2023 census, and moves in a suburb like this often involve family homes with garages, outdoor items and several bedrooms of furniture. Loading order matters in a home like that, with bulky furniture and whiteware planned first and boxes and loose items fitted around them.

Somerville Road and Whitford Road are the main roads on either side of the suburb, while the streets between them can limit where a truck is able to stop. We check the street and the property before moving day so the truck is positioned close to the entrance and the carry is as short as possible.

Burly Boys Moving handles those details so you do not have to work them out on the day. We confirm access in advance, plan where the truck will park at both addresses, and sequence the load and unload to keep the move on time. Our trucks carry blankets, trolleys, tie downs and dollies for heavy furniture, stairs and tight doorways.

Fantastic experience from start to finish! The team arrived right on time, worked incredibly efficiently, and took great care with all of our belongings. They moved us from a single-level four-bedroom home into a two-storey five-bedroom home, and their skill and professionalism really impressed us.
Communication was excellent throughout, with a prompt quote and quick follow-up to secure our booking. The whole move was smooth and stress-free thanks to their hard work. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, professional moving company!

Burly boys were great, came with 2 trucks as they new my calculations would be off ( they were right!) Worked really well as a team and even sorted out the washer and dryer connection at the new house, other than a few scuffs on an older microwave and a tiny ding in the fridge every arrived safe and sould. Would recommend.

We had moved 6 months ago with another moving firm who damaged our furniture and one of the guys was so weak he could barely lift anything substantial. So this time on recommendation of a family member we used Burly Boys - and they were fantastic! Communication was great with Kaz getting a quote to me quickly, confirming booking and messaging me the night before to confirm timing. The guys were efficient and helpful nothing was damaged and they double checked before they left to make sure we were happy and that there was nothing more we needed a hand with. We don’t plan to move again anytime soon but if we did, we’d absolutely use these guys again. 100% I’d recommend.

Burly Boys Moving (North shore )

I used them a week ago and found them amazing. They had great communication before and after the move. They arrived on time, made a clear plan, and got straight into the work.

There was no damage, and the price was very fair for the work done. They even finished earlier than expected and refunded part of the total cost, which was very honest of them.

I would highly recommend them and would definitely use them again. They made my move so much less stressful.

A big thank you!

We recently used Burly Boys Moving for our house move in Auckland, and honestly, they were amazing.

Moving is usually stressful, but the team made the whole day feel so much easier. They showed up on time, got straight into it, and worked incredibly hard without ever making us feel rushed. They were careful with our furniture (even the big, awkward pieces!), and everything arrived in perfect condition.

What I appreciated most was how friendly and down-to-earth they were. It didn’t feel like “just another job” to them — they actually cared about doing things properly. They checked in with us throughout the move and made sure everything was placed exactly where we wanted it.

Fair pricing, great communication, and just genuinely good people to deal with.

If you’re moving in Auckland, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Burly Boys Moving. They turned what could’ve been a stressful day into a really smooth one.
The lovely guys from Burly Boys helped remove our old sofa and bring in our new sofa up to our 1st floor balcony in our terrace house. Not an easy job and they did this with precision. Communication was easy and they kept me informed on arrival time. They are professional, courteous, and just generally nice kiwi guys to deal with. Offered free call out for local Stonefields community.
I cannot recommend them enough. Their fees are very reasonable for a professional service. Thank you

Moving 2 generations to another city – These gentle giants at Burly Boys played a key role in ensuring this happened as seamlessly as possible. Kaz was very prompt in communicating while organising for the big day. And on the day him and his boys were very professional and respectful. I would not hesitate to recommend your service. Wish you the very best.

Burly Boys helped me and my friend move into our new townhouse. Our old driveway was on a steep corner and the house had lots of stairs, but the boys did a fantastic job getting everything out and into the truck safely. Then they helped us get the sofas etc up the stairs at our new house which was tricky, but again they did a stellar job. Kas and the team are very professional and courteous. They turned up on time and got the job done quickly for a great price. Thanks boys!
