Family-owned since 2015 • Licensed & insured • Local & long-distance moves, packing, and storage

Best Ash, NC Moving Company

Ash is a rural community in western Brunswick County, about 15 miles north of our Calabash base. Life here is quieter and more spread out, with farmland, family land, and homes set well back from the road. It is a great fit for people who want space, privacy, and a slower pace while still being a short drive from the beaches.

Rural moves come with their own set of challenges. Long gravel or dirt driveways, soft ground after rain, barns and outbuildings full of equipment, and manufactured homes with narrow doorways all take planning. We look at your property ahead of time and bring the right truck, so we are not getting stuck halfway to your front door.

We move full households, workshop and garage contents, gun safes, and heavy furniture, and we are happy to handle partial moves for families splitting up land or clearing out an older home.

Folks in Ash tend to stay put for a long time, so when they do move, there are usually decades of belongings to sort through. We are patient with that process. We can pack room by room over a few days, set aside items you want to donate or sell, and move only what is going to the new home.

From Ash we also serve Shallotte, Tabor City, and our home base in Calabash. Heading out of state? We handle any long-distance move too. Family-owned since 2015, we bring the same care to a farmhouse as we do to a beach house. 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 Ash: Local Tips From Our Crew

Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Ash. Here’s what we plan around.

Plan for rural roads

Ash is an unincorporated community on NC 130, about 10 miles northwest of Shallotte, so homes are often on rural lots. Tell us about driveway access when you book.

Find your pickup day

Brunswick County curbside service uses a 96-gallon cart that must be at the curb by 6 a.m. on collection day, and all trash in it must be bagged. Call GFL Environmental at 910-253-4177 to find your collection day.

Choose a drop-off center

Large items and extra trash aren’t collected curbside. County convenience centers nearest Ash are at 1709 Oxpen Road SW in Supply and 746 Seaside Road SW in Sunset Beach. Brunswick County convenience centers are open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and take Brunswick County residential waste only.

Large loads to Bolivia

Trucks larger than a standard pickup can’t use the convenience centers and must go to the Brunswick County Landfill at 172 Landfill Road NE in Bolivia, open 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays.

Keep appliances out

North Carolina bans white goods (appliances), electronics and wooden pallets from landfill disposal, so they can’t go in your trash cart.

What Shapes Your Ash Move Cost

No surprises. Here is exactly what goes into your quote, so you can plan with confidence.

Home Size

How many rooms and how much furniture. A condo and a four-bedroom house are very different jobs.

Distance

Across town, across Brunswick County, or out of state. Local moves are hourly; long-distance moves are priced upfront.

Access

Long unpaved or gravel driveways, soft ground after rain, and long drives between homes in this rural area affect truck access and move time.

Add-Ons

Packing, storage, furniture assembly, and heavy items like pianos and safes.
