Movers in Lincoln, RI

Lincoln Homes and How We Move Them

Lincoln has 22,529 people in about 9,500 homes, about 10 miles north of downtown Providence. It's a town of villages: Manville, Albion, Lime Rock, Lonsdale, Fairlawn, Quinnville and Saylesville. Most moves are family houses, plus a steady run of condo and townhouse moves off the main roads.

Colonials and Raised Ranches on Wooded Lots

Two-story colonials and raised ranches on half-acre or bigger lots, many from the 1960s to the 1990s. Finished basements, two-car garages and sheds. Three movers handle most three-bedroom houses in six to eight hours; four-bedroom colonials take four movers.

Manville and Albion Mill Houses

Older mill-village houses along the Blackstone River, close to the street with narrow stairs and small rooms. We plan parking first, then take beds and tables apart before the stairs.

Condos and Townhouses

Townhouse condos with two floors and a garage, often with association rules on move hours and where the truck may stand. Two or three movers, three to five hours.

Stone-Enders and Old Farmhouses

Lincoln still has a few colonial stone-ender houses and old farmhouses with low doors and steep stairs. Furniture in these often came in before the walls were finished, so we check what can actually come out.

How Much Do Movers Cost in Lincoln, RI?

Most Lincoln moves cost $560 to $2,700 in 2026. Two movers and a truck are $165 an hour, three are $215 and four are $265, with a 3-hour minimum. Travel time is billed once, usually 25 minutes. A long gravel driveway where we park at the road adds carrying time.

Long Driveways and Tight Turnarounds

A box truck needs room to turn and about 13 feet of clearance. On a long or steep drive, we look at three things: whether the truck can back up and pull out without cutting across the lawn, whether branches hang low, and whether the surface holds a loaded truck after rain. Wet gravel and a 26 footer don't always agree.

When the truck can't go up, it parks at the road and we run four-wheel dollies and an appliance hand truck up and down the drive. It adds time, and the estimate says so up front. Last spring we moved a Lime Rock colonial that way in eight and a half hours, which was about an hour more than the same house with a paved drive.

What Our Lincoln Customers Ask For Most

• Packing the kitchen and the basement, the two rooms that take longest
• Storage while a new house is being built or finished
• Moving a gun safe or a home gym out of the basement
• A move into Providence for a retiree downsizing to a condo

On the driveway runs, a four-wheel dolly takes the dressers and box stacks, and the appliance hand truck takes the washer, the fridge and the safe. Inside, floor runners and door jamb protectors go down first. Upholstery travels under moving blankets and shrink wrap. Beds go in a mattress bag. The kitchen goes in a dish pack with kraft paper and newsprint. Need time before the new place is ready? A sealed storage vault waits for you.

A lot of Lincoln buyers come up from Providence apartments, trading a third-floor walk-up on the East Side for a yard off Route 116. Those are some of our favorite moves: the hard part is the Providence end, with its stairs and street parking, and the Lincoln end is a driveway and a ground floor. We file for the city's no-parking signs two business days ahead when the old block is tight.
