Charleston Mover Reviews
The crew was great and very friendly!! Had a great move!!! Thank you:)
Great dudes
Great job, helpful and respectful.Ill use your group again.
I absolutely recommend these guys! Right from my first phone call (with Javon, I think), I knew this company was going to be great. He was super polite and accommodating. The crew worked hard in 100 degree weather and had good attitudes the whole time. Bryce was friendly and personable and acknowledged more than once that he understands how stressful moving can be and that they want to help take make it easier. All the crew members were careful with our items and left our home spotless. I worked with 2 other moving companies out of the area prior to hiring The Good Help Guys, and these guys were by far the BEST! Worth every penny!
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.
When my other hired movers didn’t show up; we called them and they were able to come within a few hours. They worked extremely hard despite the high heat that day and were very respectful. I would highly recommend them.
Were on time and worked through the intense July heat
The guys showed up on time, were polite and friendly, and worked hard. They unloaded everything I needed in a quick and efficient manner. Highly recommend.
This team didn’t waste any time unloading our two containers! They finished in record time and didn’t damage anything. I would recommend them to anyone needing help unloading containers.
Vincent and Nate showed up on time and made light work of loading massive pieces of furniture into the storage pod. I would definitely recommend them for all your moving needs.

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.

Justin, Santino, and Kevin worked extremely hard. They were very courteous and respectful. I felt very comfortable with them handling my items. I highly recommend Gold Medal for any moving needs.

We just moved from Pennsylvania to Charleston, SC. The entire crew did a fantastic job and were very flexible! Highly recommend this company for your moving needs.
Very responsive from the start. Professional and timely. Accommodated a last min request. I would use again and recommend. We had a challenging Ergo bed and they were very thoughtful to move carefully. Dominick White Was my contact person and lead mover and he was great to work with, I felt he cared and easy to communicate with.
The workers were extremely courteous, had respect for our property and worked hard the entire time. We thought it was going to be a full 2 hr job and they accomplished it in an hour. We were pleased

These men did a wonderful job. Very long day for them and they keep in contact with us all the way thru the end of the job. Highly recommend! Thank you for making our move going smoothly. Dan Trainor
Prior to our move date, I spoke to Dominick several times to clarify procedures and questions we had regarding our move. He always answered the phone, reassured me and answered all my questions. and always friendly. His crew of 3 was on time, polite, friendly, and very respectful of us and our things that we were moving into our new home. We highly recommend Dash and Dominick and his crew.
These guys were awesome! They went above and beyond what we imagined they would do! Not only did they help move the apartment stuff, but they helped me move my teaching stuff as well (and there is a lot). They were respectful, flexible, and adapted well to where things went in the building. Great job!
I am beyond satistied with the services provided by this company! They put all my anxiety at ease and handled my belongings with such care. Will use them any opportunity I get!
Dominick and Damian work hard and are highly skilled at making the most of the room available. I could not have asked for a better crew. I highly recommend them!
