Furniture Country Moves, Handled With Care

Local & Long-Distance Moving
in Hickory, NC

Hickory built its name on furniture, and many homes here are full of it: solid wood dining sets, heirloom case pieces, and showroom upholstery. Easy Moving protects those pieces the right way, from historic homes in Oakwood to waterfront houses on Lake Hickory, with full-time crews, careful packing, and a clear price before moving day.

Moving To, From, or Around Hickory

Hickory is the largest city in Catawba County and the heart of North Carolina's furniture country, home to furniture makers, showrooms, and the Hickory Furniture Mart. Close to downtown and Union Square, the Oakwood Historic District has early 1900s homes with wide porches and tall stairs; to the north, homes on Lake Hickory sit on sloped waterfront lots; and Lenoir-Rhyne University keeps apartments near campus busy every August.

Easy Moving handles Hickory moves of every size and runs the drive from Charlotte regularly. Moves within the Hickory area are priced at an hourly rate; long-distance moves, including Charlotte to Hickory, get one binding flat rate. We also offer packing and valuable item moving for heirloom and high-end furniture.

How Should Your Furniture Be Wrapped?

Pick the pieces you are moving and see how we would protect each one, from blanket wrap to custom crating, plus how much extra time careful wrapping adds.

Solid wood is blanket-wrapped and padded at the corners; glass, marble, and stone tops are crated or boxed separately; leather and upholstery get breathable covers, not plastic, for long storage.
