Charleston Mover Reviews
Dominick and Don did a great job- thanks guys!
These guys were great
Was able to make an appointment promptly for next day. Moving was to a 2nd floor apartment, and moving was done, efficiently, quickly, and with no damages or issues at all. Would recommend as a moving service.
My crew was the best! The three guys worked so hard unloading my 27 foot trailer in three hours. They were wonderful and all the while smiling. Highly recommend them !
Darren was so awesome…very professional, so friendly, & really good at his job! They were such a huge help to me & got everything done in the time allotted. I would highly recommend.
This is our second time using Low Country Moving Specialists. They were on time, worked hard as our apartment was on the third floor and had 37 stairs, and they were respectful of our furniture. I would highly recommend them.
Such nice men! Came and were so friendly and helpful!! Could not recommend better movers!!

Major Neighborhoods in Charleston
As a port city that's been around since the late 1600s, Charleston is steeped in history. And you don't have to look very far for it — Fort Sumter National Monument lies right at the mouth of Charleston Harbor. You can also visit Rainbow Row to walk along cobblestone streets surrounded by pastel-colored houses, or stroll along The Battery, an iconic seawall and city landmark with the (arguably) best waterfront views. And at least one trip to the South Carolina Aquarium is a must, but it'll likely always remain an option for a fun weekend activity. Whatever makes Charleston the place for you, know that local movers are ready to help. Their expertise will get you to your new home and neighborhood seamlessly.
West Ashley
West Ashley is situated between marshes made by the neighborhood's eponymous river. But the most iconic part of the area is the Avondale district, a "triangle" made by the Magnolia Road and Savannah Highway full of local shops, eateries, and nightlife. Try the Charlestowne Fermentory for local brews or Home Team BBQ. The neighborhood's other claim to fame is the West Ashley Greenway, a 10-mile trail that's a favorite of joggers, walkers, and bikers. Parts of it go through some of the beautiful marshland, so it's a must-see at least once. If you’re planning to move to West Ashley, be sure to rely on local movers to navigate the major thoroughfares that populate the neighborhood. They know which exits or backroads to take when traffic is high.
Mount Pleasant
Mount Pleasant is a suburb of Charleston right across the Cooper River. Downtown proper isn't out of reach, though, thanks to the area's easy access to Highway 16 which leads straight to the city's heart. The neighborhood's main attraction is Memorial Front Park with green space, views of the harbor, and access to Mount Pleasant Pier. But if the park isn't on your agenda, you can enjoy a cold glass of small-batch craft brew at Hobcaw Brewing Company, or enjoy a game of golf at Patriots Point Links. Mount Pleasant's streets tend to have loops or dead ends. Local movers who know the area won't get lost or stuck, so leave the navigation to them, and the process will be a breeze.
James Island
Have you ever longed for the laid-back vibe of island living? Well, you don't have to go to the tropics for it — just James Island. Despite being, well, surrounded by water, it's only a five to fifteen-minute drive to Charleston's downtown. For outdoors lovers, you have 643 acres of James Island County Park to camp in, explore, bike through, or go crabbing. You can also join your neighbors at the James Island Town Market, held on the first Friday of every month with vendors, music, and food trucks. The area's also close to Folly Beach, which means kayaking, swimming, and ocean sunsets are all nearby. Of course, this means it's a popular spot, so rely on local movers who are familiar with the crowds to get you to your new home swiftly.
Daniel Island
Daniel Island is a 4,000-acre master-planned community explored best by traveling via waterways. There are ferries, kayaking, and the Waterfront Park, which offers eco-tours of the coastline. As you'd expect, seafood is a specialty here, so indulge at popular spots like King's Tide and Hyman’s Seafood. While members-only, the Daniel Island Club golf course should be mentioned for how beautiful it is — maybe you'll put getting an invite on your bucket list? All that salty air can be a little harsh on your hair and skin, but thankfully, the area's home to places like Earthling Day Spa to help you relax and recover. And if you want another way to de-stress, try hiring local movers when you relocate to Daniel Island. The pros will make the experience painless.

Staxx Moving Labor did an awesome job. They were on time, respectful, and careful with all of my belongings. They helped me unload a 26’ truck in under 2 hours without scratching or rubbing any walls. Darron is the best and I would highly recommend Staxx to anyone looking for good moving labor!
