Best Burgess, SC Moving Company
Burgess is one of the fastest-growing communities in Horry County, along SC-707 just inland from Surfside Beach and Murrells Inlet, about 15 miles from Myrtle Beach. Families move here for newer homes, good schools, and quick access to the south end of the Grand Strand.
Nearly every neighborhood in Burgess is a newer subdivision with an HOA. That means rules about truck parking, move hours, and how long pods or trailers can stay. We plan around those rules before moving day. Many homes are new construction, so we are flexible when closing dates change and can store your belongings until your home is ready.
SC-707 and the roads around it get busy at school drop-off and pickup and during rush hour. We set arrival times that keep your crew out of the worst traffic.
Residents love being a few minutes from the beach, the MarshWalk, and Market Common while living in quiet neighborhoods with pools and walking paths. It is a great place for families to grow, and we make the move there easy.
We also move a lot of families out of apartments and rentals in Burgess into their first new home, and we keep your details on file so the next move is faster and easier.
From Burgess we also serve Murrells Inlet, Surfside Beach, and Socastee. Family-owned since 2015, A & M Friendly Movers is proud to serve the south strand. 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.
