Established in 1856, Muldoon is currently a 4th generation, family owned and operated business. By the mid-19th century, Boston was a valuable center for the blossoming manufacturing industry. It was a key hub, with a network of roads, railways, and maritime shipping routes connecting Boston to the rapidly expanding country. In 1856, James Nathan Muldoon saw an opportunity in the bustling seaport. He founded J.N. Muldoon and began his career hauling a variety of freight, with horse and buggy to and from the clipper ships that frequented Boston Harbor. Our uniforms bearing the horse and buggy logo pay homage to our humble beginnings.
Logistics
We help you avoid the logistical nightmares that often arise when you’re juggling several projects simultaneously. From inbound shipment coordination to scheduling a delivery, Muldoon can assist in the logistics of your project from start to finish.
One of the many logistical dilemmas we frequently encounter is coordinating installations on Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, Block Island, and the Maine Coast. With years of experience operating on the islands and an established vendor with the Steamship Authority, we’re well-versed in making reservations for the appropriate ferries and, when needed, pre-positioning our trucks on the island a day in advance. Potentially long ferry rides can necessitate additional time in order to complete a delivery within the desired time frame.
Storage
Our secure, climate-controlled facilities ensure that your items are safely stored and protected from the elements. From short to long term, we provide storage options that fit almost any need or item. Proper care and attention is given to every piece in order to determine the best packaging solution for your storage needs, with additional consideration for future handling and installation in mind.
For customers renovating a home, for example, Muldoon can offer a one-stop solution that brings peace of mind to an otherwise stressful endeavor. Muldoon can assist with packing, inventorying, and storing your household goods and furniture while the job is underway. As new items are ordered and delivered to our warehouse, our inventories are updated as the items are fully inspected, wrapped, and stored alongside your other items. Our storage capabilities aren’t limited to just furniture. From lighting to tile to carpets, we can provide an invaluable storage solution keeping all your goods under one roof, helping to remove one variable for your project.
If you are moving to a different state, the charges will be based on the weight of your
shipment and mileage—these are referred to as the transportation charges.
There are a variety of different moving charges that can potentially appear on your estimate,
so be sure to ask your relocation specialist to explain each charge for you.
Some additional charges that may appear include packing, crating, valuation or coverage,
bulky article charge (for oversized items), and extra labor. Again, please be certain you
fully understand these charges so that you can accurately compare the estimates you receive.
All movers are required to prepare an order for service before they transport your shipment.
The order for service provides you with written confirmation of the moving services that you
requested to be performed in conjunction with your shipment. It also lists the agreed upon
dates for the pickup and delivery of your shipment and amount of valuation that you requested,
along with any special services that you ordered.
It also features a place and telephone number where the mover can contact you during the move.
Additionally, the order for service shows the charges that you will be assessed for your
household move or corporate relocation. If you are moving under a non-binding estimate,
the order for service will indicate the amount of the estimated non-binding charges,
the method of payment for the charges and, in cases where the actual charges exceed the
non-binding estimate, the maximum amount that you are required to pay at the time of delivery
in order to obtain possession of your shipment (you will have 30 days following delivery to
pay the balance of the charges due). If you are moving under a binding estimate,
the order for service will show the charges that you will be required to pay at delivery,
based on the binding estimate and the terms of payment. You and your mover must sign the
order for service.
