Colonial home challenges
Older Exeter homes have narrow hallways, steep stairs, and low ceilings that require careful packing preparation before anything moves.
Exeter is one of New Hampshire's oldest towns, home to Phillips Exeter Academy and a dense concentration of colonial, Federal, and Victorian-era homes that present unique packing and moving challenges.
Full-home packing in Exeter means knowing how to handle items that have lived in older homes: antique furniture, inherited pieces, fragile china and glassware, and artwork that needs custom wrapping rather than a standard box.
Dakota's packing teams in Exeter arrive with the right materials for the job — custom-cut foam, specialty boxes, furniture pads, and stretch wrap — so nothing reaches its destination damaged.
