Merrimack County is the capital region on our map, a clean shot up I-93 with NH-101 and the connecting roads from the Heritage Avenue shop on the coast. We get there often: a Concord cape near the State House one day, a Hooksett apartment the next, a Bow neighborhood after that. Cole Bennett came up on the Seacoast and spent years dispatching trucks for New England carriers before Smart Move opened in 2014, so his W-2 team is equally comfortable threading a cramped Concord side street and pulling into a wide Bow driveway. Pricing is flat, locked on the contract ahead of the date, and the movers loading your home are the same ones unloading it, with nothing handed off along the way.
This county tilts toward houses and steady capital-area jobs. Concord, the seat, gives us older capes and colonials ringing the State House and downtown, plus condos and rental flats off Main Street; Hooksett and Bow carry single-family subdivisions and families sizing up; Franklin and the outlying towns add starter houses, the occasional farmhouse, and senior downsizings. Local rates are $135 hourly with two movers, $175 with three, $225 with four. A flat quote sets a studio at $420 to $680 and a two-bedroom at $1,140 to $1,950, packing inside the number when you want it. Long-distance work leaves Merrimack under our own US DOT and MC authority with $1M in cargo coverage, and climate-controlled storage runs $110 to $280 a month for a lease gap or a closing that slides. Cold-weather jobs get added floor protection and salt-and-slush runners, we ask for a plowed, shoveled path, and the schedule is built around nor’easters.
