Who It's For

For small moves, furniture delivery, local courier runs & bulky-item jobs that need care.

Most people don’t need a huge moving crew, a complicated quote, or a box truck. They need one reliable owner-operator who can communicate clearly, show up when promised, protect the item, and get it moved or delivered carefully.

The Van Guy NH is built for jobs that are too big for a car, but too small, personal, or urgent for a big moving company.

Small Moves

Room moves, small apartment loads, storage units, dorm moves, and a few bulky items that need careful handling without hiring a full moving company.

Good for small loads, storage units, room moves, and local furniture moves.

Furniture Delivery

Couches, dressers, mattresses, hutches, recliners, tables, desks, cabinets, and other awkward items picked up, wrapped, secured, delivered, and placed carefully.

One bulky item picked up and delivered without the big-company hassle.

Pickup & Delivery

Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, retail stores, auction houses, consignment shops, estate sales, private sellers, and storage unit pickups.

You found the item. I help you get it home.

Local Courier Runs

For local businesses, contractors, offices, shops, and property managers that need supplies, parts, documents, materials, or customer items picked up and delivered.

Same-day local pickup and drop-off with clear communication.

Old Item Out / New Item In

Bought a new couch, mattress, dresser, or appliance-style item and need the old one moved out first? I can help remove the old piece, bring the new one in, and place it where it needs to go.

Swap-outs made easier without wrestling heavy items alone.

In-Home Moving Help

Need furniture moved between rooms, upstairs, downstairs, into the garage, basement, storage area, or curbside? I help with the heavy, awkward moving jobs inside the home.

For the stuff that is too heavy, awkward, or risky to move alone.

Why Call The Van Guy NH?

Don’t risk your back, your walls, or your furniture with the wrong help.

Bulky items are awkward, heavy, and easy to damage. Big moving companies can feel like overkill, and with random crews, you may not know who is showing up or how much they care. With The Van Guy NH, you work directly with Robert - the owner-operator whose reputation depends on doing the job right.

What a find! Rob communicated quickly, quoted a fair price, arrived on time, and moved a very heavy bureau out of my SUV where it had been since I bought it, and then realized I was not as strong as I thought. He brought it up a winding staircase with no trouble at all and even helped put on the mirror. Rob was professional, careful, and pleasant to work with. I am very grateful. Highly recommend!

FAQ

Still on the fence? These answers should help.

A few honest answers about small moves, bulky items, furniture handling, scheduling, access, seller coordination, and repeat business help.

Small Moves & Bulky Items

Questions about furniture, appliances, Marketplace buys, one-item moves, and smaller moving jobs.

Can you move something I bought from Facebook Marketplace or a private seller?

Yes. Marketplace and private-seller furniture moves are a great fit. The item should be paid for, the seller should know I am coming, and the pickup details should be clear before I head out. I can help get couches, dressers, mattresses, hutches, tables, desks, appliances, and other bulky items moved without you renting a truck.

Do you handle old-item-out/new-item-in moves?

Yes. If you bought a new couch, mattress, dresser, appliance-style item, or other bulky piece and need the old one moved out first, let me know before quoting. Old-item-out/new-item-in jobs can involve tight spaces, stairs, placement, and extra time, so the details matter.

Can you move furniture inside my house?

Yes. I can help move furniture between rooms, upstairs, downstairs, into a garage, basement, storage area, or curbside. In-home moves are quoted based on the size and weight of the item, stairs, tight corners, floor protection needs, and whether extra help is required.

Can you pick up furniture or appliances from stores, auctions, estate sales, or storage units?

Yes, as long as the item is ready, paid for, and the location allows someone else to pick it up. I can help with furniture stores, big-box stores, consignment shops, auction houses, estate sales, and storage unit pickups when the job is a van-sized small move or bulky-item move.

Are you a full moving company?

The Van Guy NH is a small moving specialist, not a big moving company. I focus on small moves, single-item moves, furniture moving, in-home moves, and bulky items that are too much for a car but usually do not need a full moving crew. If a job needs extra help, that can be discussed ahead of time.

Pricing, Scheduling & Access

Questions about quotes, stairs, tight spaces, timing, deposits, and jobs changing once I arrive.

Do I need to help load or unload the item?

That depends on the item and the job. Some smaller items can be handled by one person, but heavy furniture, appliances, stairs, tight turns, or awkward pieces may require you to help or require an additional helper. If extra help is needed, I will factor that into the quote before scheduling.

Do stairs, tight hallways, elevators, or long walks from the parking area change the price?

Yes. Price is based on the real difficulty of the move. Stairs, tight spaces, long carries, elevators, heavy items, old-item-out/new-item-in work, placement inside the home, and difficult access can all affect the quote.

What happens if the item is bigger, heavier, or harder to move than expected?

Photos and accurate details help me prepare. If the item is much different than described, the access is harder than expected, or the move requires more help than planned, the price may change. If the job cannot be completed safely, a deposit or trip fee may still apply to cover the time and travel.

Do you require a deposit to hold a moving time slot?

For some scheduled jobs, yes. If I block off time for a move, especially one involving stairs, extra help, or a specific time window, a deposit may be required. That protects the schedule if the job is cancelled after time has already been set aside.

What happens if the seller cancels, doesn’t answer, or the item isn’t ready?

If the seller cancels or the item is not ready before I head out, let me know right away. If I am already on the way or already there, a deposit or trip fee may be kept to cover my time, fuel, and the blocked time slot. The best way to avoid this is to confirm that the item is ready, paid for, accessible, and that the seller knows I am coming.

What if I need a specific moving time instead of a flexible window?

Specific timing can usually be discussed once the move details are clear. Send photos, pickup and drop-off towns, access details, stairs, and timing needs first. From there, I can confirm availability and lock in a plan if the job is a fit.

Will you wait if the seller, store, or building access is not ready?

I will wait a reasonable amount of time for a normal delay. If the wait becomes excessive or changes the schedule, extra wait time may need to be added. Clear coordination before the move keeps the job smoother and helps avoid surprise costs.

Handling & Item Protection

Questions about wrapping, securing, fragile items, condition checks, and jobs I will not take.

How do you protect items from getting scratched, damaged, or sliding around during transport?

Different items require different handling. For furniture and bulky items, I use moving blankets, straps, careful positioning, and a safe loading process. Before carrying something in or out, I look at doorways, stairs, hallways, corners, floors, and the safest path instead of forcing an item through and risking damage.

Can you handle fragile, expensive, or awkward items like glass, antiques, electronics, aquariums, or exercise equipment?

It depends on the item. I am comfortable with many careful small moves, including awkward furniture, electronics, aquariums, glass items, and exercise equipment, but I need to know what I am moving before accepting the job. If something is fragile, expensive, antique, or difficult to replace, tell me upfront so I can decide whether I can move it safely or whether it needs a specialty mover.

What kinds of jobs do you turn down?

I turn down unsanitary jobs, waste, chemicals, explosives, anything that requires hazmat handling, and anything unsafe or illegal. I also avoid anything that could damage the van, put people at risk, or require special licensing, equipment, or handling that I am not set up for. If a job involves questionable ownership, no clear permission, unsafe conditions, extreme weight, strong odors, leaking items, pests, or anything that feels sketchy, I may decline it.

What happens if the item is different than described?

I do a basic visual check before moving the item and will communicate if something obvious looks different from what was discussed, such as the item being much larger, damaged, missing pieces, not ready, or located somewhere harder to access. I may take photos before and after for my own records. That said, I am not there to negotiate the sale, verify value, or inspect for hidden issues. The buyer is responsible for confirming the item, condition, price, and seller details.

Business & Repeat Moving Help

Questions for property managers, contractors, offices, retailers, and repeat local clients.

Can you help businesses move bulky items, supplies, furniture, or customer purchases?

Yes. I can help contractors, offices, retailers, landlords, property managers, and local businesses with bulky items, furniture, supplies, fixtures, customer purchases, and smaller moving jobs. If I am interacting with your customer, tenant, client, job site, store, or office, I understand that professionalism matters.

What makes you different from hiring a random mover or app helper?

You know who is coming. You deal directly with Robert, the owner-operator. I take my reputation seriously because my name is on the job. Instead of hoping a random person shows up prepared, you can send the details ahead of time and work with the same local person from quote to completion.

If I need repeat moving help, can you learn my process?

Yes. Repeat work is easier when expectations are clear. I can learn your preferred process, communication style, access instructions, photo requirements, customer handoff expectations, timing preferences, and the details that matter to your business.
