Senior Citizen Movers in Myrtle Beach: Patient, Careful Moving Help for Seniors

Moving is hard at any age, but for seniors it can be overwhelming. There's a lifetime of furniture and memories to sort through, heavy things to lift, and often a smaller space to fit everything into. Makin Moves has been helping seniors and their families move around Myrtle Beach and Horry County since 2013. We take our time, handle your things like they're our own, and never rush you.

How our senior moving help works

Makin Moves is a labor-only moving crew. That means you or your family arrange the truck or container (or we can work right inside the home), and we bring the people and the muscle. For many seniors that's the most affordable way to get real help, because you only pay for the crew's time.

• Loading and unloading: we carry everything out, load the truck carefully, and unload and place it at the new home.

• Furniture set-up: we take apart and put back together beds, tables and other furniture at no extra charge.

• Packing and unpacking: we can pack boxes, wrap fragile items and help unpack so the new place feels like home on day one.

• Moving within the home: rearranging rooms, moving a bed downstairs, or making space for a caregiver or medical equipment.

• Heavy items: pianos, recliners, safes and appliances. See our heavy item guide.

• TV hanging: we can mount the TV so it's ready to watch the first night.

Tips for a smoother senior move

• Start sorting early. Decide what's coming, what's going to family, and what's being donated, a few weeks before moving day.

• Measure the new space and plan where the big furniture will go, so we can place it right the first time.

• Ask the retirement community or apartment office about move-in days, elevator reservations and parking for the truck.

• Keep medications, important papers, glasses and phone chargers in a separate bag that stays with you.

• If family is coordinating from out of town, just tell us who to call or text with questions on moving day.
