Moving in Sneads Ferry: What to Expect
Sneads Ferry is a fishing village tucked between the New River and North Topsail Beach, close enough to Camp Lejeune’s back gate that a good share of our jobs here are Marine families. Some homes sit up on pilings the way the beach houses do further out on Topsail, others are regular ranch houses a short walk from the water. Shawn and Jason plan the carry differently depending on which one shows up on the address.
What to Prep Ahead of Your Sneads Ferry Move
- Some homes sit elevated on pilings with outside stairs and no elevator
- Proximity to the base back gate means plenty of PCS timelines to plan around
- Narrow waterfront streets limit where the truck can park

Three Steps to Moving Day
From that first conversation to the last box set down in exactly the right room.
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.
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.
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.

I requested an unload from them very last minute through the U-Haul app. (Which is wrong of me I should've planned better on my part.) They gave me a call back a few hours later that night and it was very fortunate they had the time and were able to make it happen the very next morning. The movers were fast and professional. Definitely a 5 star service
This company is the best! I hope that I never move again, but if I do, there is no other company I would ever hire. A professional job in every sense of the word. Thank you so much!
Great job again guys!!! It's the second time you moved us and another job well done. Thank you for being a great company.

Questions We Hear a Lot
Can S&J Moving handle a Sneads Ferry move?
Yes, the fishing village and the Marine families near the base back gate keep us busy out here. A local move runs $110/hr, or Shawn or Jason can set a flat quote, and we know the elevated homes and narrow waterfront streets. 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.
