Moving from Massachusetts to New Hampshire? Here’s What You Need to Know!
Are you considering a move from Massachusetts to New Hampshire? You're not alone. Many individuals and families are making the transition to the Granite State, drawn by its scenic beauty, favorable tax policies, and quality of life. At Bridges Bros. Movers, we're here to make your interstate move seamless and stress-free as possible for you and your family.
Why Move to New Hampshire?
1. Tax Advantages
New Hampshire offers significant tax benefits, including no state income tax and no sales tax. This can lead to substantial savings over time, especially for those moving from Massachusetts, where such taxes are prevalent.
2. Natural Beauty and Outdoor Recreation
From the White Mountains to the Seacoast, New Hampshire boasts diverse landscapes perfect for hiking, skiing, and beach outings. Communities like Exeter, Portsmouth, and Hampton provide a blend of small-town charm and access to outdoor adventures.
3. Quality of Life
With lower crime rates, excellent schools, and a strong sense of community, New Hampshire towns such as Stratham, Rye, and Dover are ideal for families and individuals seeking a balanced lifestyle. Each community has its own unique charm, robust recreational offerings, and community-focused events.
Tips for a Smooth Interstate Move
1. Plan Ahead
Interstate moves require careful planning. Start by creating a moving checklist and timeline. Our Make Your Move Easier section offers resources to help you stay organized. This page will give you tips to help prepare for what can be a stressful time in your life. Our job is to make it easier!
2. Utilize Professional Packing Services
Proper packing is crucial for a successful move. We offer Packing Services to ensure your belongings are safely and efficiently packed, reducing the risk of damage during transit. Packing can be a cumbersome process, however, being organized and prepared for when your moving team arrives can make for a smoother process.
3. Explore Flexible Payment Options
We understand that moving can be financially demanding. We just recently introduced 0ur Move Now, Pay Later program that allows you to finance your move with flexible repayment plans, making the process more manageable.
4. Verify Your Mover’s Licensing and Insurance
When you're moving across state lines, it's essential to work with a company that's legally authorized to complete interstate moves. Movers must have a federal license from the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) and carry proper insurance to protect your belongings in transit.
Bridges Bros. Movers is fully licensed and insured for interstate moves, giving you peace of mind that your move is compliant, secure, and in professional hands.
5. Label Everything Clearly
Color-coding or numbering your boxes by room can make unpacking significantly easier. Not only will it help you keep track of your items, but it also helps movers place boxes exactly where they belong in your new home—saving you time and hassle.
6. Keep Essentials with You
Pack a first-night bag with items like medications, toiletries, important documents, and a change of clothes. For families with kids or pets, include a few comfort items or toys to make the transition easier on moving day.
7. Downsize Before You Pack
An interstate move is the perfect time to declutter. Donate or sell items you no longer need to reduce the load (and your moving cost). Fewer items mean faster packing and less to unpack in your new space.
8. Schedule Utilities Ahead of Time
Don’t wait until you arrive in your new home to figure out the internet, electricity, or water. Schedule utility transfers before moving day to ensure everything is ready when you arrive.
