Junk Removal on Beacon Hill

What a Beacon Hill pickup actually involves

The Hill is preserved in amber: 19th-century brick rowhouses on Chestnut, Mt. Vernon, Acorn, and the Charles St flats, with steep, winding, original staircases and not a driveway in sight. Two things make a haul here different from anywhere else in Boston. First, the stairs — narrow treads and tight turns mean a sofa or a mattress comes down slowly and carefully, and we price that into a flat number rather than charging by the flight. Second, the street — every block is resident-permit parking with no place to legally idle a truck, so for larger jobs we arrange a Boston street-occupancy permit to hold a curb spot, and otherwise stage in the nearest legal space and carry.

What we move on the Hill

• Rowhouse stair-carries — sofas, mattresses, dressers, and antiques down tight Federal-era staircases.
• Estate & downsizing cleanouts — whole-home clears as longtime owners sell or move.
• Garden-level & basement clear-outs — the below-grade storage these old houses are full of.
• Single heavy pieces — a piano, a safe, a cast-iron tub out of a top-floor flat.
