A full-house relocation behaves nothing like nudging a studio across town. Everything multiplies, room after room, and a Seacoast single-family home tends to come with stairs, a cellar, an attic crawl, and a garage holding whatever got postponed right up to moving week. The trigger differs from family to family: kids outgrowing a downtown Portsmouth condo and trading up for a Stratham colonial, a couple cashing out in Dover to buy roomier in Exeter, a Rye household stepping away from the shore into something more manageable inland and deciding piece by piece what survives the cut. Cole and his people treat a house the same way they treat anything, by working a plan rather than tossing extra bodies at the pile.
We take on the whole place, the awkward corners included. The big stuff gets blanketed and carried, your sectional, your wardrobe, the king bed, the laundry pair, while anything built to come apart is disassembled and put right back together at the destination. The cellar gets emptied, the attic too, the table and the mirrors get wrapped, and the garage rides last on the truck so its contents lead the way off, useful when you want the toolbox handy that first evening. Pricing is fixed and follows the home’s size: a two-bedroom at $1,140 to $1,950, a three-bedroom at $1,950 to $3,250, and a four-bedroom at $3,180 to $5,000, quoted ahead with access counted in. Would you rather have a bigger crew working hourly? That is $175/hr for three movers, $225/hr for four.
No two houses here hand you the same problem. Down in the South End you get a tight entry, no driveway, and a one-way lane where the curb spaces vanish under summer crowds, so we lock down the parking before move day. An aging Exeter colonial often hides a rear staircase no king mattress will ever clear, which means that piece comes and goes by the front. A Hampton cottage up on pilings throws in an outside stair, turning one carry into two. We walk both ends in advance, position the truck for the shortest path, cushion the frames and the banisters, and field precisely the number of hands a house needs, four and up once both ends have stairs.
