Wood Bros Moving Storage LLC
The Wood family originally came to North America in the late 1700s from Berwickshire, Scotland. In the late 1800s, Harry Roy Wood traveled from Nova Scotia to Arlington, MA, where he had six boys and a grandson named Donald. Harry began to move people from coast to coast in motor trucks out of Arlington, MA.
At the same time, Rufus and “Burpee” Burt Wood were starting Wood Bros. Moving & Storage in Portsmouth, New Hampshire in 1888. Rufus’ son Cedric continued his father’s business from age 17 until he retired at 65 years old in 1956, when he sold the business to his employee, Ted Walsh. Ted moved the company from State Street in downtown Portsmouth to its current location at 3607 Lafayette Road, Portsmouth, NH. After schooling, Ted’s two boys Edward and William Walsh joined the company.

What should I do with my jewelry and other valuable items?
Items of extraordinary value such as jewelry, money, antiques, and stamp collections
can be included in your shipment, provided that you notify your local moving representative
of these items before packing and moving day. It is strongly recommended that you carry
irreplaceable and expensive articles with you, or make alternate arrangements for their
transport.
In the moving industry, items worth more than $100 per pound are considered to be articles
of "extraordinary value.” To be assured that a claim involving these articles is not limited
to minimal liability, complete and sign your mover's high-value inventory form.
Also, be sure to sign the "Extraordinary Value Article Declaration" box, if applicable, on
your Bill of Lading.
Each mover has a slightly different procedure to follow as it relates to high-value items.
Ask your relocation specialist to provide you with an explanation of their company's process.
This is a confusing (but important) task, so be sure that you clearly understand the rules
prior to load day.
How do I prepare my appliances for moving?
Appliances such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators must be disconnected, and the washer
must have a stabilizer installed. Again, your estimator can help you understand how these
items are properly serviced. All local moving companies have business relationships with
local service providers that handle this type of service, however full service moving
companies and national moving companies will also be able to provide all of the moving
services you require. Be sure you know who your mover will be using, as you will need to let
these people into your home to provide the service.
