Movers in Barnstable: Centerville, Osterville, Cotuit and beyond
The town of Barnstable has 48,916 residents and seven villages, and each one moves differently. If you need a moving company in Barnstable, MA, Centerville, Osterville or Cotuit, we cover every village, from the beaches of Centerville to the ponds of Marstons Mills. Hyannis has its own page, and we do junk removal and cleanouts here too.
Movers across seven villages, one town government
Barnstable sits about 70 miles southeast of Boston and covers 76 square miles, a fifth of it water. Routes 6, 6A, 28, 132 and 149 all cross it. The south side, facing Nantucket Sound, holds Centerville, Osterville and Cotuit. The north side has Barnstable village and West Barnstable, with the Sandy Neck dunes along Barnstable Harbor. Marstons Mills sits inland.
That spread is why the village on your address matters when we plan a move. Start with our local Cape Cod moves page, and see the Hyannis page for the largest village.
Centerville movers
Centerville is mostly residential, with a small business district and several beaches. The Craigville neighborhood holds Craigville Beach, and the village has a historic district and a historical museum. About 10,700 people live there.
Beach roads and older village streets are the details to mention when you call. Tell us how close the truck can get and we plan from there.
Osterville movers and gated communities
Osterville had 3,591 residents in 2020 and sits on Nantucket Sound. It has a village center with shops and galleries, the Crosby Yacht Yard, Dowses Beach, and two private golf clubs.
Grand Island, home to the Oyster Harbors community, is gated and reached by a steel drawbridge. If your address is behind a gate or over a bridge, give us the gate contact and any move-in rules before the day.
Cotuit movers and seasonal homes
Cotuit is built around Cotuit Bay, with about 12 miles of coastline and beaches including Ropes, Riley's, Loop and Oregon. The Cotuit Oyster Company dates to 1837, and the Cotuit Kettleers play Cape League baseball at Lowell Park. The Cahoon Museum of American Art is in the former home of painters Martha and Ralph Cahoon.
The village has a large seasonal population. If a house has been closed up for winter, tell us so we plan for what is inside, whether that is a move, a cleanout, or both.
Marstons Mills movers
Marstons Mills has no saltwater beaches. It has ponds (Mystic Lake, Middle Pond, Hamblin Pond, Shubael Pond), cranberry bogs and woods, and it sits on Route 28 with Route 149 and River Road running through. Cape Cod Airfield, the last grass airport on the Cape, is nearby.
It is the quietest of the south side villages and often the easiest for truck access, with wider lots than the shore.
Barnstable village and West Barnstable
Barnstable village, ZIP 02630, includes the Cummaquid area and sits on the harbor side. West Barnstable, ZIP 02668, is the northern village. Both are on the Cape Cod Bay side of town, away from the south shore beaches.
Packing, antiques and junk removal in the villages
Bigger and older houses mean more to wrap. We offer packing and unpacking and antiques and fragile moving, and junk removal and hauling covers the clear-out on either end.
Junk removal in Barnstable: one transfer station for every village
Barnstable's transfer station lets residents in by license plate recognition and does not permit commercial haulers or non-residents. That applies to all seven villages. Ask any hauler where your load goes, and confirm the rules with the town, since they change.
Questions
Barnstable questions
Do you serve Centerville, Osterville and Cotuit?
Yes, along with Marstons Mills, Barnstable village and West Barnstable. Hyannis has its own page.
Can you move someone out of a gated community like Oyster Harbors?
Yes. Give us the gate contact and any move-in rules ahead of time, since Grand Island is gated and reached by drawbridge.
What if my Cotuit or Osterville house was closed for the winter?
Tell us when you call. Seasonal homes often have things stored for months, and we plan the crew and the truck for what is actually there.
Where do I take junk in Barnstable?
The town transfer station, if you are a resident. Commercial haulers are not permitted there, which is why it is worth asking any company how they dispose of your load.
Do you pack boxes for a move in the Barnstable villages?
Yes. Packing can be full service or limited to the fragile rooms, with everything labeled by room.
