Sean Doherty founded Next Step Moving and Storage in 2015 after years running crews for other Boston-area movers, and he still takes the triple-decker and piano jobs near Belmont Center himself. Maureen Kelly has run the office since 2018 — she builds the schedule around the Belmont Public Schools calendar and signs off on every written quote before it goes out the door.

On move day, Tony Marchetti leads the long-haul lanes and the triple-decker walkthroughs, while Devon Walsh handles piano and gun safe rigging and knows which of Belmont’s narrow, turned staircases need extra padding. Behind them are six full-time movers — not day laborers, not a rotating load board — bringing the crew to ten people total, all employed directly by Next Step Moving and Storage.

Common Questions on This Page

Will the crew that quoted my move be the same crew that shows up?

Usually yes for the walkthrough itself, though the specific movers on your truck depend on the schedule Maureen builds that week — either way, they're our own employees, never a subcontractor.

Do you subcontract any part of a household move?

No — every mover on the truck is a Next Step employee. We don't hand jobs off to subcontracted crews or day-labor board hires.

What Keeps People Booking Us Again

One Number, Nothing Added Later

Sean Doherty looks at the job himself — a call, a video walkthrough, or photos you text over — before he puts a number on paper, and that’s the number that shows up on the invoice.

Every Mover Is Ours, Full Stop

The crew on your truck trained under Tony Marchetti or Devon Walsh and draws a paycheck from Next Step — nobody’s pulled off a gig-work app the morning of your move.

Maureen Keeps Every Paper Ready

Every Belmont move runs on a Massachusetts DPU mover permit, and anything crossing state lines runs under our federal DOT and MC authority too — Maureen Kelly keeps both on file, plus proof of the $1M policy that rides along on every load, ready before you even think to ask.

Built Around a New England Calendar

A December ice storm that shuts down Trapelo Road gets a reschedule call before it hits, not after, and once the spring thaw turns the older driveways soft we walk the site first to make sure a loaded truck won’t sink it.

The Quote Already Covers the Hard Parts

A resident-permit street near Belmont Center, a third-floor triple-decker walk-up, the extra mileage out to Middlesex County’s far edge — all of it is priced in before we quote you, so the invoice never grows on move day.

Every Truck Rolls Out Fully Stocked

All 6 of our trucks leave the yard loaded with furniture pads, straps, dollies, and shrink wrap already on board, so nobody’s making a hardware-store run in the middle of your move.

Reserve Your Date Before September Fills Up

Lock in your Belmont move date online now — the first week of September disappears fast once every lease in Middlesex County turns over on the same weekend.

Moving The Date Costs Nothing Extra

A nor’easter lines up for moving day, or a closing gets pushed back a week — either way, rebooking ahead of time doesn’t add a dollar to your quote.

Priced Off Actual Middlesex County Jobs

Every quote is built from real jobs we’ve run around Belmont, not a generic online calculator, and veteran, teacher, and student-move discounts come off the price before you ever sign.

Straight From the People We Moved

Nothing below is trimmed or touched up — just Middlesex County households describing their own move day.

Devon’s crew got our piano down a staircase I was sure wouldn’t work, and never once acted rattled about it.

Tony walked the driveway before anything else, planned the truck angle, and had us loaded ahead of schedule.

Next Step Moving and Storage quoted a number on the first call and the invoice matched it to the dollar.

No fuel charge, no stair charge, nothing tacked on — the price we agreed to was the price we paid.

They packed the kitchen the night before and had the truck unloaded before dinner the next day.
