Moving Companies in Exeter, NH
Exeter’s older housing stock — tight staircases, narrow hallways, low clearances in 18th- and 19th-century homes — can slow a crew down and run up the clock if the company isn’t used to it, so ask about experience with historic properties before booking.
Ways to keep the bill down
- Book midweek and outside summer and early fall, when New Hampshire crews are booked out weeks in advance
- Ask exactly how the travel fee is calculated — a flat $25 to $75 charge or 1 to 2 hours billed at the hourly rate
- Declare pianos, large safes, or other heavy items upfront rather than letting them show up as a surprise surcharge
- Clear stairwells and hallways ahead of time; more than a flight or two, or a long carry to the truck, adds to the bill

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Rockingham County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 22% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
