Movers in Surf City

Yes, the stilted beach houses out on Topsail Island are regular work for us. We bring the gear those outside stairs demand, and pricing runs on our hourly rate or a flat quote from Shawn or Jason. If your move crosses into another state, we base the price on weight and mileage instead.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
