Moving Companies in Manchester, NH
Manchester movers bill local jobs by the hour, and what you pay depends mostly on crew size, how far the truck has to travel from its base, and how easy your building is to load. Nearly every company here holds to a 3-hour minimum, so a fast one-bedroom job still gets billed for three hours.
Hourly rates
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| 2-person crew | $120–$210/hour |
| 3-person crew | 30–40% more per hour |
| Minimum billed time | 3 hours |
| Travel fee (under 25 miles) | $25–$75 |
What a full move costs
| Move size | Total cost |
|---|---|
| Studio to 2-bedroom, local | $800–$2,500 |
| Larger local move | $954–$6,832 |
| Long-distance | $2,200–$10,500+ |
Extra charges pile on beyond the base rate: carrying items up stairs without an elevator, hauling boxes a long distance when the truck can’t park close to the door, and moving pianos, gun safes, or hot tubs all bring their own surcharges. It’s also worth asking about coverage — the standard liability many movers include pays only $0.60 per pound per item if something breaks, so ask about full value protection instead.
Booking a midweek, mid-month date away from the busiest summer weekends tends to bring the price down. The list of movers serving Manchester is right below.

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 Hillsborough County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 24% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
