The Cost of Moving Services in Johnston, NC

Beyond factors like home size, heavy items, and stairs, the biggest cost difference comes down to your moving service type.

Would give more stars if I could! Isaiah, David (goes by middle name, Brad), Matthew and Yousef were all so amazing, polite, and professional. They worked hard the entire time and were very respectful of our property. They were very trustworthy and helped the stressful process of moving go by smoothly. Would love to hire this team again if we’re back in the area!!

Sam and Josh were great! Strong and efficient. They unloaded 2 storage pods quickly as we had 1 at our apartment and 1 at a local storage facility 5 mins away. They were careful and took small breaks as I requested they stay hydrated with the heat that day. They were easy to communicate with and very personable and polite. We would definitely recommend and use them again. Thank you gentlemen!!

I had a great experience with the team that helped me unload my PODS container. Both movers arrived right on time and got straight to work. They were professional, efficient, and handled everything with care. They made what could have been a stressful day go smoothly. I truly appreciate their hard work and would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing moving labor help!

Very professional. Finished packing my 2 bed/2 bath townhome in about an hour and a half. Packed everything super well too, I’d be shocked if anything moved. Most importantly, they handled all my household goods with respect and didn’t damage house on move out either.

Patrick and Tim showed up about ten minutes early, took a look around at everything we needed to load and the space remaining in the truck, and got straight to work. Patrick loaded the truck and did an incredible job. Everything was packed efficiently and not a single item was damaged during our 10 hour drive. Great workers, great service, and great people. Would gladly use again!
