“Jerome and Andre were LEGIT! Give deez boys a raise or sum’ 👀 Keep up the good work HUNKS 💪🏼”

Most of our work stays inside Durham County and the surrounding Triangle towns. Marcus started this company in 2013 because too many Durham movers showed up late, padded the clock, and treated a stranger’s couch like scrap. We do the opposite: a flat written price, an English-speaking W-2 crew in matching shirts, and trucks we own and maintain ourselves.
We know the access problems that slow other crews down. The freight elevators and tight dock windows at American Tobacco and West Village. The narrow second-floor stairs in Old North Durham bungalows. Street parking near Ninth Street and the Duke campus. We plan the route and the gear before the truck leaves our yard on S Miami Blvd.
What a Durham local move costs
You can book by the hour or take a flat band — most folks pick the flat price so there are no surprises. Hourly runs $129 for a two-mover crew with the truck, blankets, dollies, and tools, or $169 for a three-mover crew on bigger loads.
| Home size | Flat-price band |
|---|---|
| Studio | $320 – $520 |
| 1-bedroom | $520 – $840 |
| 2-bedroom | $880 – $1,420 |
| 3-bedroom | $1,480 – $2,300 |
| 4-bed house | $2,100 – $3,200 |
A $99 deposit holds your date and comes straight off the total. Cargo coverage runs up to $1,000,000 per shipment; released-value protection is $0.60 per pound, with full-value coverage available if you want it.
What is not included
So the written price stays honest, a few things sit outside the base quote and we flag them before you sign.
- Packing materials and pack-up labor (we offer that as a separate full-pack or partial-pack add-on).
- Piano, gun safe, or other specialty items — from $349 depending on weight and stairs.
- Long carries or a second truck shuttle when a moving van can’t reach the door, common on tight downtown loft blocks.
- Disposal or donation runs for items you are leaving behind.
Tell our estimator Cody about any of these on the call and they go into the written quote, not onto a surprise invoice.
