Raleigh Moving Company

Raleigh Moving Company

WellKnown in Raleigh did an excellent job with my move. They were easy to book and made their pricing very clear. On moving day, the movers were great and they were very mindful about taking care of my belongings. They dis-assembled and re-assembled pieces and were very careful while they moved things between the two homes. They were also very pleasant to work with. Great job to WellKnown!

Raleigh Movers Who Know the Triangle

Need to find movers in Raleigh, NC? Wellknown Moving 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.

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.

Check out our blog for more moving tips as well. Our moving checklist is very helpful because it helps you plan the work you need to do before the big day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

For a local move in Raleigh, you can expect to pay between $80 and $120 per hour for two movers and a truck. A typical 2 to 3 bedroom move can cost between $500 and $800.

For long-distance moves, prices vary depending on distance and load size, but almost all movers will run flat rate. Depending on the distance, such crossings cost from $900 to $4,000 on average..

Learn More about Pricing

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.

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.

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.

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.

Household goods movers must be licensed by the North Carolina Utilities Commission to do moves within North Carolina. You should also check the company with FMCSA if your move passes state lines. NCUC Transportation, NC DOJ moving tips, and FMCSA Protect Your Move are all links.

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.

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.
