 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a problem area that needed to be dealt with!  It was mostly old, useless yard equipment that had piled up under a covered shed behind the house.  There were only two potentially problem items:  a 20+ year old John Deere Gator with four flat tires and a heavy brush mower.  I described the job and sent photos to Raw Moving for an estimate; agreed to their price; and Riley and Darrell came out the next day to deal with it.  They were able to get everything but the Gator.  I paid the full agreed price for the job, even though it was not completed and they promised that someone would come back for the Gator.  It took a few days but Akeem, DJ and Devin  came back on a late Sunday afternoon and, with a lot of effort, managed to get the Gator loaded and out of my shed.  The entire crew of five that completed the job in two trips was courteous, professional and kept their word.  It is so reassuring to know that there are still people who believe in hard work, integrity and treating people the way they would want to be treated.  To anyone looking for an honest, professional, hard working team who do what they saying they're going to do, you can trust Raw Moving.  Five Stars

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with this moving company! Riley and Darrell were professional, hardworking, and took excellent care of our furniture. They did a fantastic job wrapping and protecting everything and made sure the entire load was carefully secured for the move. Both guys worked hard from start to finish and were courteous and professional throughout the entire process. It was clear they took pride in doing the job right, which we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend them and would happily use them again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was the second time we've used Akeem and his Raw Moving team, and like before they were awesome from start to finish.  He was exceptionally courteous, responsive and attentive, and showed up at the start to make sure his guys, Darrell and Jake, had everything they needed to not just succeed but excel.  Which they did.  If you need it done right and on time at a reasonable price, this is your best bet.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The movers were friendly, but the owner was very rude and disrespectful. I was quoted a price for a 4 hour move if ended up taking them double that amount of time. Which means I paid double the price. It would have been fine if they had taken care of my items and my property, but the condition they left my old house and my brand new home in was terrible. I spoke with the owner and he was rude and unprofessional. I sent the photos below to the owner after speaking with him, because he said we could come to some resolve. I didn’t hear from him again. This company took what was supposed to be an exciting time and turned it into a terrible memory.

We cover local moves across Charleston and the Lowcountry, long-distance moves within South Carolina, and everything from standard residential relocations to specialty items that need extra planning.

Local Movers Serving Charleston and the Lowcountry

A local move is not always simple. A relocation from West Ashley to the Peninsula is different from a move between James Island and Johns Island. A downtown Charleston property can involve narrow streets, limited parking, stairs, and historic architecture. A newer suburban development has different access requirements altogether. Raw Moving serves local moves across Charleston including the Historic Peninsula, West Ashley, James Island, Johns Island, Daniel Island, Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, Summerville, Goose Creek, Hanahan, Ladson, and Moncks Corner.

Packing Services

Packing is one of the easiest parts of a move to underestimate. Raw Moving offers full and partial packing throughout Charleston and the Lowcountry.

Loading and Unloading

Already have a rental truck or portable container? Raw Moving provides labour-only loading and unloading. You provide the U-Haul, Penske, Budget truck, PODS, or U-Pack container — our crew handles the physical work, furniture protection, and placement at the destination.

Furniture Moving

Sofas, beds, wardrobes, dining tables, appliances, and bulky items moved safely. Before lifting, we assess the route — doorways, stairs, corners, flooring, and final placement all matter. Moving blankets and stretch wrap are used where appropriate.

Piano Moving

Pianos are not ordinary furniture. An upright piano is heavy and difficult to manoeuvre through tight spaces. Grand pianos require additional planning because of their size, weight, and components. Tell us the piano type, location, destination, and any access details when requesting a quote.

Hot Tub and Specialty Item Moving

Some belongings need a moving plan of their own. Raw Moving provides hot tub relocation and specialty item moving for belongings that require specific equipment and planning — safes, pool tables, large exercise equipment, and other oversized items. Provide item details, location, destination, and access information when requesting a quote.
