Best Hope Mills, NC Moving Company
Hope Mills is a small town in Cumberland County about 5 miles south of Fayetteville, with I-95 just outside town at Exit 41. The Town of Hope Mills grew up around cotton mills powered by the dam on Little Rockfish Creek, and Hope Mills Lake still sits right next to the town center on Main Street. Families like the lake, the parks and the easy drive to Fayetteville and Fort Bragg, and Hope Mills is a regular stop for our North Carolina moving crews.
Most homes in Hope Mills are single-family houses, and about 67 percent are owner-occupied, according to Census data. Near the lake and downtown you will find older homes on smaller lots and tree-lined streets, some with narrow driveways where a big truck cannot pull all the way up, so we plan for a longer carry. Out along Rockfish Road and toward the Gray’s Creek area, newer subdivisions have two-story homes, and some have HOA rules on where a truck can park and what hours movers can work. We ask about those rules when we plan your move, so moving day goes the way you expect.
Many military families live in Hope Mills and drive to Fort Bragg, so we see a lot of PCS moves here. Our military moving service works around report dates, and we help with PPM (self-move) paperwork too. Main Street (NC 59) can back up at school times and rush hour, and traffic near the I-95 interchange gets heavy, so we plan start times around both. Summer heat is hard on furniture and people alike, so we start early and pad and wrap everything with care.
If you want help getting ready, our packing and unpacking service can box up a room or the whole house. When closing dates or lease dates do not line up, our storage service can hold your things until the new home is ready. We also handle long-distance moves for families leaving the area, and I-95 makes Hope Mills an easy place to start a trip north or south. Military moves here often come with only a few weeks of notice, so we work to fit tight timelines.
We also move families in Fayetteville, Spring Lake and across Cumberland County. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2015, and we treat every Hope Mills move like we are helping our own neighbors. Our mission is simple: quality, professional service at a fair price. Home is where the heart is, and moving is where it starts. Call 910-758-0081 for a free quote.

“We used A & M for the first time today and they will become our movers of choice from now on!! JT & Zack helped us move a very large furniture piece, swap out washers and dryers between two homes both raises beach houses with directional stairs. They arrived promptly at the appointment time, were professional, moved things with care and thought and after using some others in the past few months it was a breath of fresh air to have great service that exceeded our expectations. Would recommend!”

Moving in Hope Mills: Local Tips From Our Crew
Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Hope Mills. Here’s what we plan around.
Schedule furniture pickup
Hope Mills Public Works schedules bulk household furniture pickups from time to time. Call 910-429-3387 to set one up, and note that kitchen cabinets can’t be collected.
Carts out the night before
Waste Management collects household trash weekly and recycling every Wednesday. Put carts at the curb the night before because routes start early, and keep them clear for the automated loaders.
No furniture at container sites
Cumberland County container sites are for homeowners only and don’t accept furniture, mattresses or construction debris. Plan another way to get rid of those before move day.
Report to HSO first
Soldiers PCSing to Fort Bragg must report to the Housing Services Office before renting, leasing or buying off-post, and shouldn’t send housing deposits before contacting HSO at (910) 396-1022. PCS temporary lodging reimbursement (TLE) is limited to 21 days.
Mind the permit rules
Any use of a town-maintained right-of-way beyond normal driving, biking or walking needs Public Works approval. Streets maintained by NCDOT follow NCDOT rules instead.
