Moving from Manchester, NH to Colorado — Costs, Movers & What to Expect

If you're planning a move from Manchester, NH to Colorado, you're covering roughly 2,067 miles and stepping into a state that looks similar on a few metrics — and very different on others. Rents are lower in Colorado; home prices aren't. Incomes are higher; so is the state income tax. Winters feel about the same. The lifestyle shift, though, is real.

Ray the Mover

1 Allard Drive, Manchester, NH 03102 | (603) 669-7170

80% positive | 20% negative — 257 reviews analyzed

DOT #: 2724757 | In business: 85 years | Also known as: Ray the Mover of Manchester, Inc.; MII Moving and Storage LLC

Eighty-five years in business means something in a market where moving companies come and go. Nearly 80% of Ray's 257 reviewers cite professional, communicative crews and belongings arriving undamaged — including on cross-country moves. The 20% on the other side is worth reading: damaged items, unexpected charges, and a pattern of slow follow-up when something goes wrong surface consistently. If you book them, document your valuables and get every pricing detail in writing before pickup.

Services: Local, interstate, and international moves; packing/unpacking; offices; crating; storage; safes; accepts credit card

Trend Moving & Storage

14 Liberty Dr, Londonderry, NH 03053 | (855) 509-6683

97% positive | 2% negative — 297 reviews analyzed

State license #: 3092893 | DOT #: 3092893 | In business: 6 years

A 97% positive rate across nearly 300 reviews is about as clean as you'll find among local movers. Customers consistently praise clear communication, careful handling, and crews that show up ready to work. The small cluster of complaints centers on billing surprises and occasional item damage — common grievances industry-wide, but rare here. The one flag I'd raise: six years in business is relatively short for a 2,000-mile haul. Ask specifically about their experience with long-distance moves before booking.

Services: Local and interstate moves; packing/unpacking; offices; pianos; pool tables; art; antiques; crating; full-valuation coverage; storage; fragile-only packing; safes; accepts credit card

College Bound Movers

14 Continental Blvd, Merrimack, NH 03054 | (603) 882-6683

80% positive | 18% negative — 284 reviews analyzed

State license #: 650086 | DOT #: 650086 | In business: 33 years

College Bound has the deepest review pool of any company on this list — 721 Google reviews gives you real data to work with. Positive feedback focuses on fast, professional crews and competitive pricing. The concerns are persistent enough to take seriously: damaged furniture appears repeatedly in the negative reviews, along with inaccurate estimates and poor claims follow-up. If your priority is affordability and you have solid moving insurance, they're worth a quote. If you're moving fragile or high-value items, I'd press them hard on coverage terms before signing anything.

Services: Local and interstate moves; packing/unpacking; offices; pianos; hot tubs; art; antiques; crating; full-valuation coverage; storage; fragile-only packing; safes; accepts cash, money order, and credit card; deposit required

All Pro Moving & Storage

836 Candia Road, Manchester, NH 03109 | (603) 626-8010

79% positive | 20% negative — 153 reviews analyzed

State license #: 1016693 | DOT #: 1016693 | In business: 23 years

All Pro earns consistent praise for friendly, efficient crews who get jobs done without drama. Their 79% positive rating across 153 reviews reflects that. The negatives — damaged items, late arrivals, billing surprises — show up at roughly the same rate as competitors in their tier. One thing worth checking: their listed services don't explicitly include interstate moves. Confirm they can handle a Manchester-to-Colorado long haul before you get too far into the quoting process. Better suited for straightforward moves than for complex or high-value relocations.

Services: Local moves; packing/unpacking; offices; pianos; crating; storage; accepts credit card

Gentle Giant Moving Company

3 Sagamore Park Rd, Hudson, NH 03051 | (603) 886-3500

98% positive | 1% negative — 56+ reviews analyzed

DOT #: 373544 | In business: 45 years | Also known as: Gentle Giant Moving & Storage

This is the standout on this list. A 98% positive rate is about as clean as I see from any local mover. Customers across both local and long-distance moves consistently cite careful handling of fragile items, crews that finish on time or ahead of schedule, and a booking process that actually communicates clearly. The one negative review questioned a higher estimate compared to in-person quotes from competitors — worth keeping in mind. Get their quote in writing and compare it against at least one other option. If you want the lowest-friction option for the Manchester-to-Colorado run, Gentle Giant is worth every call to get a
