Movers in Swansboro
Free, No-Obligation Estimate
The Friendly City by the Sea on the Crystal Coast, waterfront homes, Intracoastal docks, and a historic downtown. S&J Moving handles Swansboro’s coastal humidity and tight old streets.
Moving in Swansboro: What to Expect
Swansboro calls itself the Friendly City by the Sea, and the moves out here match the name, waterfront homes along the Intracoastal, docks and boat gear to work around, and a historic downtown with narrow old streets. Coastal humidity means wood furniture and cardboard both need extra care, so Shawn and Jason wrap tighter and load faster on a Swansboro job than they would inland.
What to Prep Ahead of Your Swansboro Move
- Waterfront and Intracoastal lots can mean a dock, a bulkhead, or soft ground near the water
- Historic downtown streets are narrow with limited truck parking
- Coastal humidity calls for tighter wrapping on wood and cardboard
Typical Swansboro move cost

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.

Your Move, Fully Covered

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.

The S&J crew sees your job through start to finish, from the very first knock at your door to the last box off the truck, with your price locked in writing before anything gets loaded.

Other Areas We Serve
Questions We Hear a Lot
Will S&J Moving take on a move inside Swansboro?
Yes, the waterfront homes and the historic downtown around Swansboro are steady work for us. A local move is $110/hr, or Shawn or Jason can put a flat quote in writing, and we handle the dock access and the coastal wrapping. 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.
