Best moving experience I've ever had Ismail and his team were absolutely incredible! They were efficient, kind, knowledgeable, and able to help problem solve with us to make our move as smooth as possible. They were communicative and timely, and we couldnt recommend Well Known Movers more highly to anyone who needs to move across the US.

Local art moving specialists in Raleigh and The Triangle
We handle the entire process: professional museum-grade packing, protection, transportation, and installation in your new home, gallery, or private collection. Our Raleigh movers handle delicate materials, glass, wood, and unique surfaces with the utmost care and precision. We offer transparent pricing, respond quickly to urgent moves and work on a flexible schedule.
Complex entrances, old houses, historic buildings, and downtown Raleigh
Many antique items are located in houses with narrow corridors, steep staircases, limited access to elevators or parking—especially in downtown Raleigh. We assess entrances, turns, stairwells, and door sizes in advance, and protect walls and coverings. If necessary, we remove doors, use lifting mechanisms, and work with licensed crane operators.
Our teams regularly perform moves in high-rise condominiums and historic buildings, comply with HOA rules, complete COIs, and protect elevators with soft panels. We know our way around Glenwood South, the Warehouse District, North Hills, Five Points, Brier Creek, and the Village District like the back of our hand, which is especially important when dealing with complex loading and parking restrictions.
Safe packaging and climate control
Your paintings, sculptures, and antiques receive museum-level protection. We use archival packing materials, custom wooden crates, soft protective blankets, moisture-proof covers, and special fastenings in the cargo area. Our vehicles are equipped with climate control, which prevents damage from temperature and humidity fluctuations—this is especially important for paintings and wooden items.
Collection storage in Raleigh
If you need to temporarily store your collection, we provide secure, climate-controlled storage. Each item is cataloged, packaged, and placed in a separate area with controlled temperature and humidity.
Cost, estimate, and personalized moving plan
The price depends on the size, weight, rarity, accessibility, and transportation route. For local moves in Raleigh and The Triangle, we offer hourly rates, and for long distances, we offer a fixed price.
We provide a free on-site or video estimate to calculate safe packing and prepare a written proposal. After you contact us via the form or by phone, we will quickly get in touch to discuss the details and create a personalized moving plan.
On moving day, our team arrives on time, protects your space, carefully loads your belongings into our equipped truck, and sets everything up exactly where you want it in your new home or gallery.

We had an excellent experience with… We had an excellent experience with Slava and Yuri! They came with all the needed equipment, wrapped up our furniture expertly, and managed to swiftly carry everything downstairs and then upstairs in our new place. Very strong and friendly. They handled the furniture with care, that's huge for us. Thanks y'all!
Sasha helped us move 2 apartments into a house in less than 4 hours! He was professional and took good care of my belongings. Everything was wrapped up to ensure it wouldn’t be damaged and transported safely. I would absolutely use them again!
Fast, efficient, friendly, cost-effective movers! This is my second time hiring WellKnown Moving. Both experiences have been great. The movers are super friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make sure things are where you want them and that everything is secure in the truck. They are also very fast and efficient. The third mover called out sick and the two guys who we had moved everything practically right on estimate for 3 men. Highly recommend!
Boston To DC - Very Smooth Ismail, Aybek and their team were professional, communicative, timely and thorough throughout my move from Boston to DC. My wife and I were really impressed by the entire experience, from the quote process up to the final box being placed. Absolutely on top of things. I am glad we found them for our move and would happily work with them again.
The two men that helped me with my move were amazing- right on time, nothing broken, and reasonably priced, would recommend!
Alex and his partner did a great job! They moved me out of my North Raleigh apartment to Goldsboro right at the minimum time listed in my quote. They disassembled my bed and dining set with ease. Would 1000% recommend this company as they’re affordable and move everything quickly and safely!
Fantastic Crew!!! The moving crew firstly called and let us know they were running early and asked if they could start earlier than scheduled. Once arrived everyone was very professional and made sure to asses the items being moved and immediately got to work. Each person worked hard and efficiently the entire time. Once we moved, the crew began to unload it a quick but careful pace, ensuring that items were not damaged or that walls and such were kept free of smudges or damage. Will definitely use them again when we move in the future! The only downside is that we were never told that travel time (what I assume is to and from the job from their home base) is charged as well. Total time ended up being 1 hour more than the actual move itself.
They were great to work with, showed up on time, worked hard all day, and had a great quality of move. There was no damage and they were extremely professional. I would absolutely use them again!
