Moving Tips

Good driveway and street access in most parts of the neighborhood. Homes are typically single-story, so no stair carries. A few blocks have narrower streets, so we check truck positioning before move day.

Single-Story Homes, Half-Day Moves

Standard residential moves with good street access. Homes are typically single-story. Straightforward loading. That's Lakewood in a nutshell. We don't have to worry about freight elevators, steep staircases, or winding driveways here. The truck pulls up, the crew gets to work, and the move stays on schedule.

Most Lakewood homes are mid-century bungalows and ranch-style houses. One level, reasonable lot sizes, and driveways that can handle a full-size truck. A typical 2-3 bedroom move takes a half day with a 2-person crew. It's the kind of move where experience shows in speed and care, not in navigating complicated access problems.

The neighborhood is close to NC Central University in Durham, so we also handle moves for students and faculty in the area. Those tend to be smaller apartment moves that we can knock out in a few hours. For the single-family homes, we bring the same level of care we'd bring anywhere. Floor runners, furniture pads, and careful loading.

We've been your neighbors since 1976. Lakewood moves are straightforward, and our pricing reflects that. Call us at (919) 682-2300.
