I can not recommend UniMovers enough. I called them in a panic on the afternoon of July 3rd after another moving company cancelled on me two days in a row. Even though it was right before a holiday, the owner made magic happen for me and Erric and Willem were at my door within two hours. They worked so hard and efficiently, despite the 97° heat. They literally saved my butt! I would not have been able to unload my things without them and now, in August, I still think about how much I appreciate the service they provided and how wonderful they were. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would!

Terrell and Andrew were great! They worked super quickly to get everything loaded and unloaded to make it a seamless moving process! It made a huge difference when I was already navigating several other logistics in preparation for the move. It was my first time ever hiring movers and I will never move again without hiring great folks like Terrell and Andrew!

UniMovers was very responsive in getting back to me for a moving quote and also had a lot of availability for the dates I was looking to move. Victor and Andrew were very professional and friendly! I would have liked a little more communication the day before/day of to confirm that they were still coming but other than than everything else was great! Thank You again UniMovers.

About the Owner

Nathan Williams opened the UniMovers Durham in late July, 2020 after graduating with a Psychology degree and Business minor from University of North Carolina- Wilmington. Even amidst the global pandemic, Nathan recognized the potential for a moving business’ success in a region of constant population growth that he also happens to call home. Creating a friendly and enthusiastic work environment consisting of full-time students, part-time students, and recent graduates, Nathan strives to support these local students financially, while providing them with work that easily fits around their busy class schedules. In Nathan’s free time, you can find him caring for his dog, studying Buddhist and Stoic philosophy, reading, and staying fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our most frequently asked questions and answers

The closest airport to Durham is the Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU). It is about 13.6 miles or a 17-minute drive from Durham’s city center. Alternatively, you could fly into the Charlotte Douglas Airport (CLT) which is typically cheaper, but much further away at 147.5 miles, or a 2 hour and 11-minute drive.

Utilizing data collected from Uhaul, we found that the cost for hiring local moving labor in Durham, NC is between $50 and $80 per hour per mover. The rate can change, however, depending on the size of the project. For instance, if you need assistance moving a piano or gun safe, there may be additional fees associated. Here at UniMovers Durham, we offer a low flat rate of $60/hour/mover without any added fees.

The number of movers needed varies based on the project, however, a good rule of thumb for residential moves is to match the number of movers to the number of bedrooms, or have one more mover than the number of bedrooms. So if you are moving to or from a 4-bedroom home, we would recommend hiring 4-5 movers.

Your movers will definitely need to come into your home to assist in moving things in or out of the home. However, if you are moving things in the garage, or outside, just let your movers know you would prefer they stay outside your home.
