Great all-around experience! Highly recommend these guys. We had a local move and they were prompt and hard working. Very professional in keeping on task and offering extra help with items.

No obligation · straight to our Charlotte office
Cornelius is Lake Norman living, and we move it from Charlotte — from waterfront homes with docks to the townhomes around Jetton Road and downtown.
Lakefront homes take planning
Waterfront properties in The Peninsula and off Jetton Road often mean long, sloped driveways, tight lakeside turnarounds, and sometimes a boathouse or dock to clear. Our crews scout the truck approach first, so a heavy load never has to back blind toward the water.
| Cornelius setting | What we plan for |
|---|---|
| The Peninsula (gated) | Gate code and COI arranged; narrow lakeside streets |
| Waterfront off Jetton Rd | Sloped drives, dock and boathouse items, careful backing |
| Antiquity / downtown | Traditional-neighborhood alleys, rear garages, curb space reserved |
| Robbins Park new builds | HOA move-in windows and garage loading |
What we move on the lake
Lake homes carry more than the usual household — patio sets, water toys, and a garage or boathouse full of gear — so we plan the truck and crew for the extra volume and the fragile, high-value pieces that come with lake living. On the lake we regularly move:
- Large lake homes with plenty of patio and outdoor furniture
- Boathouse gear, kayaks, and dock equipment
- Pianos and antiques — see piano moving
- Second homes and seasonal moves
Protect the approach. On sloped lakeside driveways we chock the truck and lay traction boards before loading heavy pieces — safer for your things and the property.
Just south we also serve Huntersville, so a Lake Norman move between the two towns stays with one crew and one flat rate.
Good questions
Charlotte moving questions, answered
Do you serve waterfront homes in The Peninsula?
Yes. We arrange the gate code and certificate of insurance and plan the truck approach on narrow, sloped lakeside streets before move day.
Are you based on Lake Norman?
No — we run up I-77 from Charlotte. Our crews reach Cornelius early and keep the whole move on one team.
Can you move dock and boathouse items?
We can. Kayaks, dock gear, and patio furniture get wrapped and loaded along with the household goods, all on one written rate.
My driveway drops steeply toward the water — is that safe for a loaded truck?
Yes, with planning. We chock the truck, lay traction boards, and carry heavy pieces rather than back a full load toward the shore.
Do you handle second-home and seasonal moves?
Often. Whether you're setting up or closing down a lake place, one flat written rate covers the crew, truck, and padding.

Licensed & Insured
A registered North Carolina household-goods mover with full cargo coverage on every load, and a certificate of insurance whenever a building asks.
We Know This City
Uptown high-rise loading windows, Dilworth’s tight historic streets, Ballantyne HOA rules — planned before move day, not sorted out on your driveway.
We Answer, and We Show Up
Someone real picks up the phone, and the crew arrives in the window we gave you. If plans change, you reschedule with no penalty.

Handled with care
How we protect what’s yours
Wrapped, not rushed
Furniture gets blankets and shrink wrap before it ever leaves the room — no bare edges riding on the truck.
Floors and doorways covered
Runners go down and door jambs get padded, so nothing gets scuffed on the way out or in.
Taken apart, put back together
Beds, tables, and cribs come apart and go back together at the other end — you never touch a tool.
Cartons for the fragile stuff
TVs, mirrors, glass, and art travel in proper boxes with corner protection, not wedged between couches.
The right gear on every job
Dollies, straps, and ramps do the heavy lifting, so the big pieces move safely — not on someone’s back.
One crew, start to finish
The same uniformed team loads and unloads. Your things are never handed off to a stranger or a subcontractor.

The owner spoke to me on a Sunday afternoon and he worked us into his schedule the following day. We needed some heavy furniture moved to our bonus room. Highly recommend!
