Best Navassa, NC Moving Company
Navassa is a small, historic town where the Cape Fear and Brunswick Rivers meet, just across the water from Wilmington and about 48 miles from our Calabash base. It has deep roots in Gullah Geechee culture and a strong sense of community, and new neighborhoods are bringing fresh growth to the area.
Homes in Navassa range from older family homes on larger lots to brand-new subdivisions. Older homes can have narrow doorways and tight hallways, while new construction brings unfinished roads and shifting closing dates. We plan for both, check truck access ahead of time, and offer storage when your timing does not line up.
Many of our Navassa customers are moving within the family, helping parents downsize, or relocating across the river from Wilmington. We handle every one with patience and care.
Residents love the river, the history, and being minutes from Wilmington and Leland while living somewhere quieter. It is a special place, and we are proud to help families move here.
Growth in Navassa is happening fast, with new homes going up along the river and closer to US-74/76. If you are buying new construction, we can meet you at the walkthrough, check truck access, and plan the delivery so your furniture goes straight into the right rooms on day one.
From Navassa we also serve Leland, Belville, and Wilmington. Family-owned since 2015, A & M Friendly Movers treats every move with respect. 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 Navassa: Local Tips From Our Crew
Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Navassa. Here’s what we plan around.
Expect new-growth routes
Navassa’s town history notes that the I-140 interchange, sewer lines and city water have brought an influx of new development, so newer streets may not match older maps. Share your exact address when you book.
Use the bypass
I-140 serves as a bypass of Wilmington and connects US 17 near Winnabow with US 74/US 76 and US 421, which can keep a moving truck off downtown streets.
Roll the cart out early
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.
Leland drop-off center
Large items and extra trash aren’t collected curbside. The closest county convenience center is at 9921 Chappell Loop Road SE in Leland. 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.
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 Navassa 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
Navassa is spread out along rural roads near the Cape Fear River, and some homes have long or unpaved driveways, while trips toward Wilmington depend on bridge traffic.
Add-Ons
Packing, storage, furniture assembly, and heavy items like pianos and safes.
