Durham Senior Moves
Durham's Own Senior Movers
NuWay Relocation is based in Durham, and helping older adults here move into something smaller is a big part of what we do. Our veteran-owned crews sort, pack, move, unpack, and set up the new home, and one coordinator works with your family from the first walkthrough to the final check. Our office is on Emperor Blvd near RTP. We are licensed by the North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC C-3093) and carry USDOT 4270123 and MC-1658232 for moves out of state.

Where to Start
Start with a free walkthrough in your parent’s Durham home. Family who live elsewhere can join by video, and we put the full plan in writing.
Why Families Choose NuWay
Why Durham Families Trust NuWay With a Parent's Move
About one in seven Durham County residents is 65 or older, more than 48,000 people (U.S. Census ACS 2020 to 2024). As a Durham company, we move a lot of them, and we know how much a parent’s move means to a family.
Close By
Our office is in Durham, so walkthroughs are easy to schedule and our crews know the city’s neighborhoods and traffic.
A Coordinator With a Nursing Background
Ashley Watson, our Director of Project Management, earned her nursing degree at ECU and oversees every senior move.
Respect for Your Parent
We go at your parent’s pace, ask before packing, and let them decide where things go.
Licensed and Verifiable
Our NC Utilities Commission certificate is C-3093. Families can confirm it with the NCUC Public Staff at 919-733-7766.
Veteran-Owned and Family-Run
Co-owner Robert Moriarty is a Navy veteran, and NuWay is run by the same small team you meet at the walkthrough.
Short-Notice Help
When a community opens a spot sooner than expected, we fit in fast moves whenever our calendar allows.

Planning Ahead
Planning a Senior Move in Durham
Some local details worth knowing as your family plans the move:
Retirement Communities in Durham
Durham is home to Life Plan communities such as Croasdaile Village and The Forest at Duke, along with independent and assisted living options like Atria Southpoint Walk.
Lots of Long-Time Homes
Many Durham parents have lived in the same house for decades, so we start sorting well before move day.
Following Community Steps
Each community has its own move-in process. We plan around the details your family gets from the community.
Local Support
The Durham Center for Senior Life on Rigsbee Avenue offers information, caregiver support, and options counseling for families planning a move.
Regional Help
The Central Pines Area Agency on Aging serves Durham County, including a Long-Term Care Ombudsman and family caregiver support.
Local Rates
Moves within 50 miles, including anywhere in Durham, are local moves under North Carolina rules and are billed hourly.

Durham Senior Moving FAQs
What is included in senior moving services?
Downsizing, space planning, packing, the move, unpacking and setup, storage, and clearing the old house. Choose the pieces your family needs.
How should we prepare?
Get the new floor plan, list the must-keep items, and talk about heirlooms early. Give yourselves a few weeks for sorting, and we will help with each step.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. NuWay is licensed by the North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC C-3093) and insured, with USDOT 4270123 and MC-1658232 for out-of-state moves.
Can you move my parent into Croasdaile Village or The Forest at Duke?
Yes. Each community sets its own move-in process, so we ask your family to share those details and plan around them.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. A few weeks allows time to sort and plan, and we handle short-notice moves when our schedule allows.
What happens to items my parent doesn't keep?
We handle donation and recycling drop-offs and haul-away, and offer climate-controlled storage for anything still undecided.
Can you move a piano or antiques?
Yes. We plan the padding, crating, and crew for those pieces during the walkthrough.
