Burlington is the longest northern lane on our board, about 180 miles up I-89 across New Hampshire from our Heritage Avenue yard in Portsmouth, and it is a relocation route we run often. A good share of these jobs are families heading to Lake Champlain for work or school: a Portsmouth downtown household landing in the Old North End, an Atlantic Heights couple heading to a place near UVM, or a Pease worker transferred to a Burlington office. Whatever the move, Smart Move carries it on one truck with the same crew the full lane, so the hands that load your Portsmouth home are the hands that wheel it into the Burlington place.
The drive is around three and a quarter hours up I-89 through Concord and across the Connecticut River into Vermont, so Cole maps the route, the access, and the delivery timing at both ends well ahead. The Portsmouth end gets the crews’ full attention: a South End home with a narrow stair and no driveway, a summer block where on-street parking fills with tourists, or a downtown condo with a freight elevator and a certificate of insurance. We are a licensed and insured mover, operating across New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts, with US DOT and MC authority for interstate moves and $1M in cargo coverage, and we are a full-service general mover for any household, apartment, or office. The shipment never changes hands across the state line. Get a Portsmouth to Burlington moving quote, or read how our long-distance moving service handles the longer northern lanes.
Moves are a flat rate you approve before loading, steady for all 180 miles; if a winter run means snow and ice, we bring extra floor protection and salt and slush runners, and a plowed, shoveled path matters at both ends. Give us the home sizes and the access at both ends, and that figure holds from your room in Portsmouth to the room in Burlington.
