The typical full‑service move in the Charleston metro (including James Island) costs between $755 and $1,850, with an average of about $1,075.

We always recommend contacting us for a personalized estimate so you know what to expect before move day.
James Island offers options for every lifestyle:
James Island shares Charleston’s humid subtropical climate: mild winters and hot, humid summers. The area enjoys about 209 days of sunshine per year. To avoid the heat and humidity, schedule your move in spring or fall. Hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30, and the Lowcountry’s low elevation (around 19 ft) makes it vulnerable to flooding. We move year‑round—just keep an eye on weather forecasts during storm season. Like you, weather doesn’t stop us; we’re flexible and understanding. We’re not fair‑weather movers!
We offer complete moving services, including local and long-distance moves, expert packing and unpacking, labor-only loading and unloading, furniture assembly and disassembly, junk removal, recycling and donation, plus secure storage coordination. Our skilled crews are experienced in handling specialty items such as pianos, antiques, and office equipment with care.
We often help customers move items to and from storage units, though we don’t operate our own facilities. If you need storage, our team can recommend trusted climate-controlled providers and manage the pickup and delivery of your belongings for you.
Tipping is appreciated but never required! A general guideline is 15–20% of your total moving cost, or for smaller local moves, $10–$20 per mover. Ultimately, it’s up to you—base your tip on the level of service you receive. Our crews are always thankful for the recognition!
Our James Island crews know every neighborhood. We plan routes around bridge traffic and school zones, and move you across town safely and efficiently.
Already rented a truck or portable container? Let our team handle the heavy lifting — we load, unload, and help with rearranging furniture as needed. We can also help with home staging to get your property ready for sale.
If your move-out and move-in dates don’t line up, we’ll safely store your belongings in our secure, climate-controlled facility. Your items are never mixed with others, and each piece is carefully pad-wrapped for maximum protection.
Moving to a smaller home or transitioning to assisted living? Our caring team supports seniors through every step — sorting, packing, and moving with patience, respect, and special attention to cherished belongings.
James Island sits between the Ashley and Stono Rivers, just minutes from downtown Charleston and Folly Beach. The James Island Connector provides quick access to the peninsula, while Maybank Highway leads west to Johns Island. This strategic location gives residents a relaxed, suburban lifestyle with easy commutes to work, school, and beaches.
Outdoor life thrives here. James Island County Park spans 643 acres and offers miles of paved trails for walking, biking, and skating, open meadows, saltwater fishing and crabbing docks, picnic areas, an off‑leash dog park, a sand volleyball court, a 50‑foot climbing wall, an 18‑hole disc golf course, and seasonal attractions such as a spray fountain and the Splash Zone water park. The park also rents bicycles, pedal boats, and kayaks, and its 124‑site campground faces the Stono River marsh. Residents also enjoy boating, fishing, and paddleboarding on the Ashley and Stono Rivers, and Folly Beach is just a 10‑minute drive away.
James Island is known for community events that draw locals and visitors alike. The Holiday Festival of Lights transforms the county park into a winter wonderland with over two million twinkling lights. The James Island Connector Run and Reggae Nights Summer Concert Series celebrate the island’s active, laid‑back culture. Local restaurants, breweries, and live‑music venues such as The Pour House anchor a vibrant food and entertainment scene
The island’s charming neighborhoods, towering oaks draped in Spanish moss, and panoramic marsh views offer a serene backdrop for daily life. Residents cherish the sense of community—neighbors know each other, local businesses are family‑run, and there’s a deep pride in preserving James Island’s natural beauty. Whether you’re drawn by historic homes, waterfront living, or highly rated schools, James Island provides a welcoming Lowcountry lifestyle minutes from everything Charleston has to offer.
While James Island offers coastal beauty and Southern hospitality, newcomers should know that summers are humid, traffic can be heavy during tourist season, and the area is vulnerable to hurricanes. Mild winters and a relaxed pace of life make it a rewarding place to settle down.


Don’t let clutter get in the way of your move. Our James Island junk removal team takes care of everything — from furniture and appliance disposal to yard waste and renovation debris. Whenever possible, we donate and recycle to reduce landfill waste and give items a second life.
Providing you with an exceptional service matters to us. See what our satisfied customers have to say about their moving experiences from our online reviews.
"Two young men are very friendly and professional, took care of business quickly and efficiently. One even offered to play with my dog outside 😁. Would definitely refer to friends and use again."
