Local Moving in Jacksonville

Cost comes down to two variables: how much you are moving and how hard the truck has to work to reach it. Our two-person crew starts at $110/hr, and you will have a written number before the first box gets lifted. Prefer one locked-in figure? Shawn or Jason will write you a flat quote, and that is exactly what lands on your invoice. Once a move crosses into another state, we switch the math over to weight and mileage.

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.

The clock starts the moment the S&J crew begins working at your door, not when the truck pulled out of the yard. After that first hour, billing runs minute by minute, so a job that runs seventy minutes shows up as seventy minutes, never rounded up to two full hours. Before anything gets loaded, we spell out the rate and exactly how drive time factors in.

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.

Absolutely, plenty of our business is people arriving in the Jacksonville area, a lot of them on Marine Corps orders to Camp Lejeune or MCAS New River, others who just picked the coast themselves. We nail down the delivery window, we are there when you arrive at the new place, and we take care of the gate pass, the narrow coastal street, or the missing driveway on our end. Shawn and Jason travel with your belongings the entire way, so your move never gets handed off to whichever company happened to bid low that week.

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.
