Grant or Paige reads every request personally before a number goes back out. There's no obligation attached to filling this out — take a day, a week, however long you need to decide. Pricing is worked up from the actual ZIP codes you send, not a citywide average, which is why most quotes are back in your inbox before the afternoon is over. Nobody outside our Chesapeake office ever sees what you send us.

✓ No mailing lists, ever. What you type into this form gets used for exactly one thing, a callback about your Chesapeake move, and it doesn't get resold, passed along, or folded into anyone's marketing list. If texting works better for you than a call, just say so on the form and we'll follow up that way instead — standard carrier messaging rates may apply.

Chesapeake to Wilmington

Wilmington sits about 185 miles south along US-17, a run that trades Hampton Roads’ tunnels for the Cape Fear coast. This lane fills up with retirement moves to the Carolina shore, a job tied to the Port of Wilmington, or households simply done with the daily tunnel crawl.

Coastal traffic, worked around in advance

US-17 slows to a crawl on a summer weekend the way the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel does on a Friday commute, so Theo Marsh schedules most Wilmington loads for a weekday departure between May and Labor Day specifically to skip it.

Getting a household to Wilmington

  1. In-person walkthrough Paige checks a Western Branch driveway, HOA rules, or interior stairs before quoting
  2. Written total one figure covers the 185 miles, coastal traffic already priced in
  3. Loading Isiah Crenshaw and the crew wrap and board every piece before the run south
  4. The drive south on US-17 toward the Cape Fear River
  5. Delivery the crew that closed your Chesapeake door opens the one in Wilmington
Move size Rate on this lane
1-bedroom $820 – $1,160
2-bedroom home or condo $1,720 – $2,480
3-bedroom house $2,700 – $3,880
4+ bedroom or full home $3,980 – $5,650

Whatever figure Paige signs in Chesapeake is the figure due at the Wilmington curb, a quiet Tuesday drive or a packed Saturday on US-17.

Our Word, In Writing

Six Promises Every Chesapeake Job Gets

This isn't ad copy — it's what Grant and the crew hold to on every Hampton Roads job, from a Great Bridge two-story to a low-lying home near the canal in Deep Creek.

One Rate, No Redo

The figure Paige reads you over the phone is the same one on the invoice once the truck is parked on Portsmouth Blvd — a slow crossing through the HRBT and a shuttle-truck run down a narrow street, none of it tacked on later.

Virginia-Registered, Fully Insured

Our Virginia household-goods carrier registration stays current and on file, every load carries cargo coverage, and if a Greenbrier or Western Branch HOA board needs a certificate of insurance, it's in their hands the same day they ask.

Payroll Crew, Not Day Labor

Every set of hands on your crew draws a paycheck straight from Movers Chesapeake — nobody gets phoned in off a labor board the morning of the move.

What You Sign Is What You Owe

Book the number Grant quotes and that's the number due once the truck is unloaded, full stop. A backed-up Monitor-Merrimac crossing, a shuttle-truck carry off a tight South Norfolk street, a slow HOA-window load-in over in Greenbrier — none of it shows up as an extra line.

One Crew, Start to Finish

The names Paige gives you on the booking call are the names on your truck — we don't hand your job to a second crew halfway through just to keep another job moving.

A Window That Actually Holds

If the crew ahead of you is running behind, that's not your problem to absorb — Theo calls with an update before your slot would be affected, and we make good on any inconvenience it causes.
