Why Choose Us?
Durham reached an estimated 305,561 residents in 2025, up about 8% since 2020 (U.S. Census Bureau), and nearly half of households rent. The city has eight local historic districts, from Watts-Hillandale to Golden Belt, where older homes often mean tighter stairs and doorways. We plan for all of it at the estimate, not on moving day.
Based Right Here
Our office is off I-40 near RTP, about 15 minutes from downtown Durham, so crews arrive on time and estimates are easy to schedule.
Veteran-Owned, Five-Star Rated
Co-owner Robert Moriarty is a Navy veteran, and every one of our 80+ Google reviews is five stars.
Free In-Home or Video Estimates
We walk through your home in person or by video and send a written estimate that lists the crew, the services, and what is included.
Durham Parking, Planned Ahead
Downtown meters run 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, and closing a parking space, lane, or sidewalk requires a City of Durham temporary closure permit. We sort out parking before moving day.
Historic Homes and Downtown Apartments
From older homes in Trinity Park and Watts-Hillandale to apartments at American Tobacco Campus, we plan stairs, elevators, and loading for your building.

Relocation Process
Our Proven Moving Process for Durham & Triangle Relocations
Six steps, one team, and a written plan from the first call to the last box.
Free Estimate
We walk through your home in person or by video, note stairs, tight turns, and specialty items, and send a written estimate that lists the crew, the services, and what is included.
A Plan for Your Home
We match the truck, crew size, and materials to your move, and confirm the arrival window and any building or HOA details before moving day.
Packing Day
If you book packing, we pack ahead of the move so loading day runs on time.
Loading
Floors and doorways are protected, furniture is wrapped, and the truck is loaded so nothing shifts on the way.
The Drive
We confirm timing before we leave and keep you posted if anything changes on the road.
Unload and Walkthrough
We place furniture where you want it, reassemble what we took apart, and walk the home with you before we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do movers cost in Durham?
Moves of 50 miles or less are billed hourly under the NC Utilities Commission tariff. Cost depends on crew size, hours, and packing, and we send a written estimate after a walkthrough. Weekend, holiday, and after-hours moves are billed at overtime rates, so a weekday move usually costs less.
Do you offer moving and storage in Durham?
Yes. We offer climate-controlled storage for short or long stays, so you can move out before your new home is ready, stage a house for sale, or hold items while your family decides.
Do you handle corporate and RTP relocations?
Yes. Research Triangle Park is home to more than 385 companies and 55,000 workers, and we move employees relocating for work there, plus small offices. We can pack, store, and deliver around your start date, and send a written estimate your employer can review.
Do I need a permit for a moving truck in Durham?
If the truck needs to close a parking space, lane, or sidewalk, the City of Durham requires a temporary closure permit. Some neighborhoods near Duke are residential permit-parking areas. We check your street at the estimate and plan the truck location.
When is the busiest time to move in Durham?
Mid-August. NCCU moves students in August 13 to 15, 2026, Duke first-year move-in is August 15, and Durham Public Schools start August 24. The end of each month is also busy, so book 2 to 4 weeks ahead when you can. We take short-notice moves when our schedule allows.
