Hampton lies south on US-1 and NH-101, the Seacoast’s beach town, and it moves to a beat almost no other place on our map shares. By Hampton Beach the streets fill with summer rentals, cottages, and second homes that swap owners and tenants on a seasonal clock; inland, the year-round neighborhoods run to Capes, ranches, and colonials on settled streets. A typical Hampton job for us is a seasonal turnover at a beach cottage between rentals, or a year-round family clearing an inland colonial before a closing. Cole Bennett ran the trucks and the dispatch board for New England movers before starting the company in 2014, so the summer beach-rental churn, the tight cottage access near the water, and the inland home carries are all squarely the crews’ territory through the season.
A Hampton job hinges on the property and the calendar, since a beach cottage in July and an inland colonial in October ask for different handling. At the cottages and summer rentals near the shore, we settle the parking spot ahead, since tourists eat up the parking, and we keep the haul over sandy walks and narrow side lanes brief. At the year-round homes, we plot the path from a recessed entry or the garage bay, lay ramps across the steps, and pad the staircase plus any cellar half-flight. The seasonal turnover throws off a steady run of fast last-minute and same-day work between tenants, and we staff for it. Our crews box, load whatever you would sooner not, and keep the whole job under our own roof, never subcontracted; full households, apartments, offices, and pianos are all covered. When winter hits, we put down floor protection and salt-and-slush runners, ask for a plowed and shoveled path, and plan around the nor’easters rolling off the water.
