COASTAL NC HOME MOVERS
Residential Moving in Brunswick County & Wilmington
Home moves for year-round residents, second-home owners and retirees along the southeastern North Carolina coast.
A home move on the southeastern North Carolina coast comes with its own checklist. There may be a full story of outside stairs on an Oak Island stilt house, a gate code and an HOA move window in St. James, or a tight driveway in one of Wilmington’s older neighborhoods. A & M Friendly Movers handles residential moves from our Calabash office for families in Calabash, Sunset Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, Shallotte, Holden Beach, Oak Island, Southport, Bolivia, Leland and Wilmington.
We are a family-owned company, in business since 2015, and owners Matthew Treharn and Amber Hallaman are involved in moves every day. Your crew is made up of background-checked, drug-tested W-2 employees. We can pack the whole house or just the kitchen, take apart and rebuild beds and tables, and hold your things in secure storage if your closing date slides. Local moves are priced hourly by crew size.

Why Coastal NC Families Choose A & M for Home Moves
Second Homes and Full-Time Moves
Plenty of Brunswick County moves are part-time owners becoming full-time residents, or owners selling a beach place and keeping the house back home. We handle both directions. We can clear out a furnished second home, move what you are keeping to your primary house, and send the rest to our secure storage until you decide what stays.
Stairs, Pilings and Elevators
A raised house on Holden Beach or Ocean Isle Beach puts the living area well above the driveway. We ask about stair runs, landings and any home elevator when we quote, then staff and pad the job to match. Heavy pieces go down with enough hands on them, and railings and decking get covered before the first box moves.
Background-Checked W-2 Movers
Your home is full of personal things, so we are careful about who walks through the door. Every A & M mover is a background-checked, drug-tested W-2 employee of ours. We do not use subcontractors or pick up day laborers on busy weekends, so the crew you meet at the start of the day is the crew that finishes it.
Help for Retirees Downsizing
Many people come to the Brunswick coast to retire, and a lot of those moves go from a large house to a smaller one-level home. We pack, move and set up furniture room by room, take apart pieces that will not fit through a new doorway, and can haul off unwanted, non-hazardous items through our junk removal service.
Storm Season Flexibility
Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, and an evacuation order or a shifting storm track can change your plans in a day. A & M never charges a rescheduling fee, for any reason. Your $100 deposit stays applied to your move, and we find you a new date once the bridges and roads are clear.
Quick Owner Callback
Ask for a quote and an owner or our office calls you back within 15 minutes, between 8am and 8pm. Local moves are priced hourly by crew size, and we talk through stairs, driving distance and gate rules up front so the estimate reflects your actual house and not a generic number.
Our Residential Moving Services in Brunswick County & Wilmington
Complete Full-House Moves
Complete moves for houses, townhomes and condos from Calabash to Wilmington. We wrap and pad furniture, protect floors and door frames, load the truck in a planned order, and place every piece in the right room at your new home before the crew leaves.
Packing and Unpacking
Full or partial packing, with boxes, paper and tape available from us. Many coastal clients have us pack the kitchen and fragile items while they handle closets themselves. We can also unpack at the new house, flatten the boxes and take the packing material away.
Furniture Disassembly and Setup
Bed frames, dining tables, sectionals and entertainment centers taken apart safely, with hardware bagged and labeled, then put back together at your new home. This matters in raised beach houses and older Wilmington homes, where stairwells and doorways leave little room for large pieces.
Storage Between Closings
If your sale and purchase dates do not line up, we keep your belongings in our secure storage, short or long term, with pickup and delivery included. When a closing slips by just a day, we can hold everything locked on the truck overnight instead.
Brunswick County & Wilmington Home Moving FAQs
Local residential moves are priced hourly by crew size, so the cost depends on how much you have, how many stairs are involved, and the drive between homes. A move from Oak Island to Leland plans differently than one across town in Shallotte. Call 910-758-0081 and an owner or our office calls back within 15 minutes, 8am to 8pm, to talk through your home and give you a quote.
Yes. Our Calabash office covers Wilmington as well as the Brunswick County beach towns. Moves between the two usually run up US-17 and across the Cape Fear River, so we build drive time and traffic into the plan. If it suits your schedule, we can pack on one day and move on the next.
Yes. Owners are not always on site when a coastal second home sells. We can coordinate by phone with you and your agent, pack the house, and move items to your primary home or into our secure storage. For moves leaving North Carolina, ask about our long-distance service with a binding estimate and a guaranteed delivery date.
Some gated and golf communities set move hours, truck parking rules, or ask for proof of insurance. We send certificates of insurance free of charge, straight to your property manager or HOA ahead of time. Let us know your community’s rules when you book and we will plan the day around them.
We accept credit cards, debit cards, personal checks and certified checks, but not cash. A $100 deposit holds your moving date and is applied to your final bill. If you need to change the date for any reason, including a storm headed for the coast, there is never a rescheduling fee.
