Ismail and his team were fantastic
Ismail and his team were fantastic! Efficient and quick workers, wouldn’t even let me lift a box!
They showed up on time
They showed up on time. Incredibly polite. My husband and I barely finished packing so they were patient with us while we finished some items. They took down TVs and everything was wrapped securely. They had to deal with our power going out while moving out of a condo and still kept going. Got to the house, unloaded and we were all set. Full service, excellent help. I’d highly recommend to anyone. Thanks guys!

Ismail and his team provided an amazing moving service and were able to make my moving experience extremely easy despite issues with moving restrictions from both the building I moved out of and the building I moved into. They were fast and efficient, packing and unpacking everything in a little over an hour. I couldn't recommend them more and would definitely use them for my next move!
Will and his crew did an outstanding job moving our stuff recently. He let me know ahead of time when he’d be there. They wrapped everything really well. They used pads and then a sticky wrap around the pads to lock it in place for bigger items. None of our belongings were damaged. They were very generous and great at what they do. I’d highly recommend him and this company again.
This company is absolutely amazing! The best moving company I used in many years for our move. Fast and efficient, and friendly, I honest can say that the experience with this company have exceeded our expectations. Thank you! You are truly the best!
Alexandr and his crew did an amazing job! They wrapped all the furniture, they were extremely quick and very organized. They disassembled and reassembled big pieces (sofa and dining room table) and assembled a brand new bed frame as well as new barstools. I am thrilled with how easy they made the moving process for me. I highly recommend them!
Ismail and his partner were amazing

Ismail was great
Ismail was great! Very quick with moving things and took great care of my things. He was communicative and very helpful.
Ismail and WellKnown Moving are the best!
Ismail went above and beyond to deliver quality moving services for two separate moves. His work was so thorough the first time I booked with WellKnown Moving that I wanted him to be present for my second move and luckily, he was able to follow through with my request. Booking with WellKnown Moving was super easy and more affordable compared to other moving companies. If I ever move again in the future, I will definitely be using WellKnown Moving.

Need to find movers in Raleigh, NC? WellKnown Moving Company helps people move within Raleigh and to and from Cary, Morrisville, Durham, Chapel Hill, and other nearby areas. We plan around the parts of the job that cause delays here most of the time. These include the I-440 beltline corridor, the I-40/I-440/US-1 interchange area, and the I-40 Triangle region between Raleigh, RDU, and Durham as a whole.
We do have a license and insurance for our business. We can get the COI ready ahead of time if your building needs one before you move in.

Moving from Raleigh isn't always as simple as going from A to B. For an apartment move in downtown, you might need to coordinate street access. For a move in Wake County's suburbs, it might depend more on HOA rules, timed loading zones, townhouse access or where to put the truck. Raleigh Parking is in charge of issuing construction parking permits, and the city's Right-of-Way Services says that Raleigh Parking is also in charge of issuing parking passes for moving vans and other similar vehicles.
Making the crossing into Durham changes how things work. If you live in downtown Durham and the apartment blocks are closer together, you may need to coordinate the right-of-way or get a permit to park on the street as a contractor. The fee schedule that Durham puts out there shows both contractor parking permits and on-street parking space permits. That's why we handle moves from the Raleigh side to the Durham side differently, even if the distance is only a short distance.
When it comes to the market near RDU, Morrisville, and the Brier Creek/RTP side, building access is more often than distance a problem. In newer apartment buildings, move-ins are often controlled by loading zone windows, service elevator bookings, truck size limits and proof of insurance. We make sure of these things before the moving day, especially for buildings near airport corridors where RDU curbside entry rules and ongoing roadwork around John Brantley Boulevard can change the schedule near Aviation Parkway and I-40 on the airport side.
Transparency and Guarantees: We don't hide fees, and basic protection is included with every shipment. We take care of all the planning ahead of time if your apartment or office needs a COI, elevator reservation or loading-dock window.
In the Triangle, August is its own moving season. When people move in for the autumn, NC State uses appointments, given routes and unloading areas. Moving in at UNC-Chapel Hill needs to be scheduled through the Housing Portal. Duke gives each building its own move-in dates and temporary unloading zones. If you are moving during student move-in week and will be near Hillsborough Street, Chapel Hill, or Duke/downtown Durham, you should book and start your move earlier.
Are you moving across the Triangle, to Five Points, Oakwood, North Hills, Brier Creek, or Downtown Raleigh? We know where older homes have stairs that are narrower, where controlled buildings need dock or elevator reservations ahead of time, and how to time your route to save an hour. You can hire us to move your apartment, house or office in Raleigh. Before the truck comes, we plan the move around building rules, entry, parking and traffic.

Moving to Raleigh
Raleigh has a laid-back, outdoor-oriented lifestyle that goes well with research-driven
careers. It is a city that welcomes newcomers and keeps that unmistakable North Carolina
warmth. There are tech and biotech jobs in the Research Triangle, as well as famous food
halls, museums, and greenway trails.
Plan your move well by looking for neighbourhoods that fit your budget and commute, figuring
out how much it will cost on moving day ahead of time, and picking dates that work for the
crews and keep rates low. Our local guides below cover everything from cheap suburbs to how
to tip, so you can be ready when you get there.

How much do movers cost in Raleigh?
For a local move in Raleigh, two movers and a truck start from $120 an hour, three movers from $160 and four from $200. You pay for the time the job takes: a 3-hour minimum, then 15-minute steps, plus at least 30 minutes of travel time. The total depends on your inventory, the stairs or elevators at both addresses, and how far the truck can park from your door, so list those when you ask for an estimate. Long-distance moves get a flat rate from $750, built from your exact inventory before you book. Learn More about Pricing
How far in advance should I book my Raleigh move?
It’s best to book two to four weeks ahead, especially during busy months like summer or weekends. But if you’re in a hurry, don’t worry. We can do last-minute moves too, depending on our availability. Contact us, and we'll see what we can do.
Should I tip movers in Raleigh?
Yes, tipping is common. Most people tip $20 to $50 per mover. It depends on the size of the move and how hard the movers work. You can give it in cash or through a digital payment method, whatever works best for you.
Are there any items that Raleigh movers won’t transport?
There are some things we can’t move. Hazardous materials, perishables, plants, weapons, and valuables (like cash or important documents) are typically not allowed. If you're unsure, feel free to ask your moving manager for the full list of items we won’t handle.
What should I check before hiring a moving company in Raleigh, NC?
Check to see if the mover is licensed to move household goods within North Carolina and has registered with the FMCSA for jobs that cross state lines. North Carolina requires household goods movers to have an NCUC certificate for moves within the state. For moves between states, the FMCSA's Protect Your Move database is the major federal check. These links will take you to NCUC Moving 101, NCUC Transportation, and FMCSA Protect Your Move.
Do you handle Durham, Chapel Hill, and the rest of the Triangle?
Yes, WellKnown Moving Company does this, we often deal with Triangle issues like I-40 timing, Wake vs. Durham access rules, apartment loading windows and the traffic that comes from NC State, UNC and Duke students moving in.
When should I book movers in Raleigh, NC?
If your move will affect entry to downtown apartments, managed buildings on the RDU side, or student move-in times in the Triangle in mid-August, book your move earlier. At those times, dock reservations, unloading windows, and route timing are the most important. Moving in at NC State, arriving and departing at UNC, and maps and directions to RDU are all linked.
