Movers in Kittery | Smart Move

Kittery sits right over the Memorial Bridge into Maine, a quick trip from our Portsmouth base, and the work there covers the full sweep our crews are equipped for. Around the outlets and Route 1 you get a working-town mix; the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard sends a steady flow of military and civilian relocations; and toward the points the older coastal homes settle onto lots near the water. A typical Kittery job for us is a shipyard family relocating on a transfer, or a couple clearing an older coastal home ahead of a closing. Cole Bennett ran the trucks and the dispatch board for New England movers before founding the company in 2014, so the local blend of shipyard relocations, cross-river bridge timing, and the careful haul an older coastal home demands feels like familiar ground to the crews.

The job sets the shape of a Kittery day, since a shipyard transfer and an older coastal home pull the work in different directions. For the naval-shipyard relocations, we plan around the transfer timeline and the family’s window, plot the haul, and hold the load under our own roof from the Maine side back over the bridge or wherever it heads. At the older coastal homes, we lay out the haul from a recessed entry, set ramps to the steps, and pad the staircase plus any cellar half-flight so heavy pieces stay well clear of the walls. We schedule the truck around the Memorial Bridge and the Route 1 outlet traffic to keep the run clean. Our W-2 crews box, load whatever you would sooner not, and finish the whole job in-house, never subcontracted. Full households, apartments, offices, pianos, and long-distance loads are all covered. In winter we lay floor protection and salt-and-slush runners, ask for a plowed and shoveled path, and plan around the nor’easters.

Pricing is flat-rate and on paper before a box leaves the floor. A local Kittery move is $135 an hour for two movers, $175 for three, $225 for four; as a flat band, a two-bedroom usually falls $1,140 to $1,950 and a four-bedroom $3,180 to $5,000. Holding a gap on a shipyard transfer? Climate-controlled storage runs about $110 to $280 a month by size.
