Before You Call

  • Know both addresses and which floors are involved.
  • Point out any piano, safe, or oversized furniture.
  • Mention steep, gravel, or switchback driveways and elevators.
  • Share your ideal date and any room to shift it.

Winter weather is no reason to postpone. We time your load to the safe hours around snow and ice, and simply reschedule when the roads are not fit for a truck.

01 Good to know
Are you a moving company?
Yes — Personal Touch Movers is a fully licensed and insured Candler, NC moving company running our own trucks and uniformed crew, with US DOT and MC authority.
What will a local move run?
Two movers and a truck are $120 an hour and three movers $158 an hour, each with a one-hour minimum. You get the figure in writing before move day.
How does your binding quote work?
We set one locked price from your home, access, and inventory. The signed figure is the whole cost, with no hourly clock and no add-ons at the end.
How much do you take to hold a date?
A $90 deposit reserves your date and applies to the total. The estimate itself is free.
Do you carry a license and insurance?
Yes. We are a licensed and insured North Carolina moving company with US DOT and MC authority, and every truck and mover on your job is ours.
How do you deal with mountain winter?
We follow the forecast and set your load around snow, ice, and freezing mornings, holding off for unsafe roads rather than running a full truck over them.
02 Why us

A real moving company — not a broker

Book us and you get our trucks, our crew, and our name on the job. A broker just resells your move to whoever bids lowest, then steps out of the picture.

Personal Touch Movers
  • Our own trucks and full-time, background-checked crew
  • One flat rate in writing — quoted is what you pay
  • The same crew loads your home and unloads it
  • Licensed & insured with USDOT/MC authority
  • One local office, one point of contact, start to finish
A typical broker
  • Resells your job to whatever carrier bids lowest
  • Surprise fees and re-quotes on moving day
  • Strangers you never spoke to show up to load
  • Hard to pin down who is actually liable
  • A call center, not a local crew
