The Cost of Moving Services in Chesapeake, VA

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

In Chesapeake, you can choose a full-service move, where your moving team handles everything after you pack, or a labor-only move, where your movers simply load and/or unload your truck or container—offering big savings in exchange for more work on your part.

Military Friendly! Elvis and his team were prompt, professional, and physically fit to unload over 10,000 lbs of household goods on Fort Eustis. His team provided a level of care for my HHGs that I have not seen in over 20 years of service. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR MILITARY MOVES.
