The full rundown

Moving in Half Moon: What to Expect

Half Moon sits just northwest of Jacksonville proper, a quiet stretch of subdivisions with easy driveways and none of the base-gate or island-stairs complications some of our other areas bring. Moves here tend to be straightforward family homes, so Shawn and Jason use the extra time to size the crew right and keep the day efficient rather than fighting access problems.

What to Prep Ahead of Your Half Moon Move

  • A mix of subdivision sizes changes the volume job to job
  • Some newer pockets have HOA move-in rules to follow
  • A longer walk from curb to door on bigger corner lots

  • Label boxes by room to speed the unload

Simple from the first call

Three Steps to Moving Day

From that first conversation to the last box set down in exactly the right room.

1

Tell Us About the Move

Walk Shawn or Jason through the details, over the phone, on a quick video call, or through the online form. They are also happy to come by in person for an estimate, and either way you get a fair hourly rate or a written flat quote back, never a number that quietly grows once the truck is full.

2

Lock In Your Date

Claim your day and we set the truck and the two-man team, then square away the base-access pass at Camp Lejeune or New River, the PCS or DITY paperwork, and the U-Haul truck or POD container we are loading or unloading.

3

We Carry the Load

Shawn and Jason wrap, load, drive, and place every piece themselves, and we plan the run around US-17, NC-24, Western Boulevard, and Gum Branch Road to keep the day on schedule.

Your Move, Fully Covered

We handle every step, starting with the first blanket down on the floor and ending with the last box set in the back room.

Fully Insured

Every job carries cargo and liability coverage, and Shawn and Jason go over your valuation options with you together before any paperwork gets signed.

PCS & Base-Access Ready

Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River gate passes, PCS and DITY timelines, on-base housing at Tarawa Terrace or Midway Park, and coastal humidity and hurricane-season wrapping, we sort the access and the paperwork ahead of time so a Jacksonville move never gets held up at the gate.

Padded & Wrapped

Every item gets blanketed, shrink-wrapped, and strapped down snug, it is the kind of careful wrapping customers mention again and again. Should anything take a bump along the way, we flag it immediately and make it right.

Done Right

One honest price, a two-person crew that treats the job like it is their own, and the work is not finished until every last item is exactly where you wanted it.

★★★★★

I scheduled with them and same day I got a call to confirm all the details with me and when I had questions he explained concisely and respectfully. Considering the level and quality of service, the cost is definitely worth it. The person I spoke with said his name is Shawn (or possibly Sean, i'm not sure which spelling). Incredible customer service.

They showed up on time, packed up our whole office, moved us, and assembled all furniture all in under 4 hours! They were all super nice and polite. I will definitely use this company again for all future moves.

Questions We Hear a Lot

Will S&J Moving cover a move inside Half Moon?

Yes, right through the Half Moon subdivisions northwest of town. Pricing is our hourly rate or a flat figure from Shawn or Jason, and the easy driveways out this way usually keep the day short. If your move crosses into another state, we base the price on weight and mileage instead.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. S&J Moving carries North Carolina licensing and insurance, and Shawn and Jason staff every job themselves, with no broker wedged in the middle taking a cut. Want the coverage details? Just ask and we will walk you through the valuation options before you sign off on anything.

We’re PCSing to Camp Lejeune or MCAS New River and need a base-access gate pass sorted out. Can you handle that?

Yes, and it is a big part of what we do. A steady share of our jobs are PCS or DITY/PPM moves onto or off Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River, and getting through the gate takes a visitor pass or a sponsor to walk it through, plus knowing on-base housing like Tarawa Terrace, Midway Park, and Berkeley Manor and their own inspection windows. Send us your orders and gate contact when you book, and we work out the pass, plan around the inspection timeline, and time the move so nothing holds you up at the gate.

My place is an older home near downtown Jacksonville, or a stilted beach house out on Topsail Island. Can you handle the stairs?

That is a lot of what we do. The older streets around downtown Jacksonville are full of homes with tight staircases and narrow hallways, and out on Topsail a good share of houses sit up on pilings with a steep outside stairway and no elevator in sight. Shawn and Jason are used to snug turns, elevated entries, and a longer carry up to the door. We walk the stairs and doorways ahead of the move, wrap the railings and door jambs for protection, and slow down on the heaviest pieces, which keeps an older downtown home or a stilted beach house from turning into a headache.

Will you handle the packing?

As much or as little as you want. Every room boxed from top to bottom? We will do it. Only the kitchen items and whatever is fragile? We can narrow it down to just that. We show up with commercial-grade cartons and paper, tag each box with its room, and once the truck is unloaded we are glad to unpack and set up your new place too, the packing and organizing side S&J Moving has built a name on.

Can your crew move a piano, a gun safe, or other heavyweight items?

Yes, it is part of our routine. Whether it is an upright or baby grand, a loaded gun safe, a slate pool table, a heavy antique, or a framed piece of art, each item goes onto the right board or dolly, gets strapped and padded properly, and we map out the doorways, base gates, and stairs on the route beforehand.

Can I move or cancel my date?

Sure thing. Give us two days’ notice or more to reschedule or cancel, and your whole deposit comes back to you. Every condition is written out plainly in your booking confirmation, so there is no fine print to decode.
