Give us the details
Where you’re headed, the date, and the size of the place — it’s a quick form, and there’s no charge to ask.
We sign a flat rate
You get one firm number in writing from our family — no hourly clock ticking while the crew works.
Our crew rolls in
Our uniformed Martinsburg crew shows up in the window and carries the whole move, start to finish.
Heavy and irreplaceable things
A grandfather’s upright headed into a downtown Victorian, a gun safe coming up from a farmhouse cellar, an heirloom hutch down a narrow stairwell — these are the loads my sons train for while a lot of outfits just say no.
What shapes the number we sign
We weigh each of these before we ever quote and fold them into one flat figure — so your price holds whether it’s a townhome in Ranson or a farmhouse off a gravel lane in Hedgesville.
The kit on board every truck
Old hardwood, tight Victorian doorways, and mud, snow or road salt tracked in off a country lane — the gear to protect your floors, walls and fragile things comes off the truck before a single box does.
Quilted moving blankets
Dressers, tables and headboards get wrapped in heavy padded blankets and cinched tight before they leave the room.
Shrink-wrap & stretch film
Stretch film holds drawers and doors shut and keeps couches clean — sealed off from mud, dust and weather the whole way.
Floor & doorway protection
Runners go down across the path and padded guards onto the jambs, so original wood, tile and trim never take a scuff.
Custom crating
Mirrors, glass tabletops, framed pieces and flat-screens ride in boxes we cut to fit, corners braced and padded.
Take-apart & rebuild
Beds, sectionals and big farm tables break down for the trip and go back together, every bolt accounted for, at the new place.
Straps, dollies & lifts
Rated tie-downs and the right dolly or ramp for a long lane, a cellar haul or a heavy load — it all rides with the crew.
How a day with Lawrence & Family Movers goes
A call before we roll
One of us phones ahead with a tight arrival window, so you’re not stuck at the window guessing when the truck will turn up the lane.
We walk the house first
The crew chief goes room to room with you, marks what’s loading, calls out the tight turns and tricky carries, and sets the order.
Wrap, pad & cover
Furniture gets blanketed and filmed, runners roll out down the path, and the jambs get padded before a thing comes off the floor.
Built to ride tight
Weight goes in low and snug, every piece tied to the wall, so nothing shifts on a bumpy back road or a long Interstate pull.
Same family, same truck
The crew that loaded you drives the whole way — GPS-tracked, never handed to a stranger or a second carrier down the line.
In and set down right
Boxes go to the rooms they belong in, furniture lands where you point, and whatever we took apart gets rebuilt on the spot.
A final walk with you
We circle the house with you one more time and don’t pull out until every last piece is sitting exactly where you want it.

I’m Dale — and it’s our family name on the truck
I’m Dale Lawrence, and Lawrence & Family Movers is our family’s. I was born and raised here in the Eastern Panhandle and ran a local hauling and warehouse operation for years before my two sons and I started this company in 2009 on one rule: the flat price gets signed before the truck ever leaves the yard. I still lay out the board every morning, and the folks who knock on your door are W-2, background-checked and on our own payroll — family and longtime crew, never day labor or a subcontractor.
- Family-run in Martinsburg since 2009
- 16 uniformed, background-checked W-2 movers
- The crew that quotes your move is the crew that loads it
