I’m Dale Lawrence, and apartment and student moves come with their own headaches: a Shepherd University rental that has to be empty by noon, a downtown Martinsburg conversion with steep original stairs and street-only parking, a new commuter townhome out in Spring Mills, and a complex that wants a certificate of insurance before they’ll let anyone in. Between my family on the truck and Brenda in the office, all of that gets taken off your plate.
From a historic downtown Martinsburg Victorian to a farmhouse out on a gravel lane, Martinsburg family movers writes the whole job as one flat number up front and holds it — no surprise lines once the truck is loaded.
The buildings and rentals we know cold
We move studios and one-bedrooms around Shepherd University and Shepherdstown, old apartments and Victorian conversions in downtown Martinsburg, and the townhomes filling the new commuter subdivisions for folks landing here from the DC side. Two men and a truck cover most of these jobs clean, and we keep the crew quick so a small move stays a small bill.
The building paperwork is on us
Brenda handles the COI, books any elevator or dock window, and checks your lease dates against the schedule. In the shared hallways we run floor protection and pad the wall corners, which keeps both the property manager and your deposit out of trouble.
What an apartment move runs
The flat rate is binding and it’s in your hands before load day. These two tiers are just the baseline behind it.

| 2 men + truck | $135/hr | Shepherd studio to a downtown 1-bed: about $510 flat |
| 3 men + truck | $185/hr | 3-bed Spring Mills townhome: about $1,260 flat |
- Lease-date and COI coordination included, no separate building fee
- Released value $0.60 per pound standard, full-value protection optional
- Up to $1,000,000 cargo coverage per shipment
