How we ranked the top Portsmouth movers

Why you should trust us

We take reviews seriously to protect people just like you! Our team has been crunching data on moving companies since 2010. Our math-based ranking system uses data, manual review, and statistical analysis to help you hire the best movers in Portsmouth, NH.

Rating Methodology

Here's the methodology we used to come up with the best movers in Portsmouth:

$Our data scientist working on the years of experience formula$

Our original review-based ranking algorithm

We started with a total of 48 companies that offer moving services in the Portsmouth area.

From these 48 companies, we analyzed a total of 10,234 reviews dating all the way back to May 2007.

We also reviewed a total of 7 state and federal moving licenses from these 48 companies and 179 different 3rd party review and social profiles.

Each of the ~10,000 reviews was scored according to our detailed 11-point rating criteria

This gave us a total of 22,182 data points to compute individual company scores.

Reviews are time-weighted so that more recent reviews carry more weight. This helps you understand how a mover is doing today... not 5 years ago. We have 3,249 Portsmouth moving company data points from the past 2 years that carry more weight.

Bayesian averages calculated to fairly account for the differences between companies that are newer(like Fit 2 Move) vs older more established companies (like SC Moving Services).

Frequently Asked Questions About Moving in Portsmouth

How much should you tip movers in Portsmouth, NH?

In Portsmouth, it’s common to tip between 10% and 20% of the total moving cost, or around $5 per mover per hour if that works better for your budget. These tips recognize the hard work of carrying furniture across Market Square or maneuvering around tighter spaces near Islington Street, especially when handling fragile items. A little extra can go a long way toward keeping the crew motivated and protecting your belongings as you move into a new home near the Piscataqua River. For extra hospitality, offer them local favorites like iced coffee or bottled water to stay refreshed during the day.

Is it cheaper to make a DIY move in Portsmouth?

Planning a DIY move in Portsmouth might seem like a cost-effective way to handle your relocation, but be prepared for added work, potential truck rental fees, and unexpected challenges if you run into traffic on I-95. It’s important to double-check all your packing supplies, read up on safe lifting techniques, and organize your route ahead of time to avoid issues around busy local spots like Lafayette Road. For help finding the right vehicle, explore truck rentals in Portsmouth to ensure you rent a truck that can handle your load.

Should I hire labor-only movers?

If you’re taking care of the truck rental and just need a hand loading or unloading your belongings in Portsmouth, consider hiring labor-only movers. This type of service is ideal whether you’re relocating from a home near Strawbery Banke or starting fresh across the Bellamy River. With a labor-focused crew, you’ll handle the driving and rental details, and let the pros do the heavy lifting, saving energy and reducing the chance of injury or property damage.

What if I need to move something special like a piano or pool table?

Transporting oversized items in Portsmouth, such as a grand piano or a bulky pool table, can be tough if you don’t have the right equipment or experience. Hiring specialized teams like piano movers or pool table movers can help ensure these valuable items get moved safely, even if you’re navigating narrow staircases in the historic downtown. Specialty movers also handle things like hot tubs, gun safes, or large statues, so you can focus on settling into your new space near the water without extra stress.
