Full-Service Moving and Storage Company
Hampton Roads knows that moving can be a frustrating and stressful time for most people. However, the company offers a variety of services to help make moving as easy as possible.
As a full-service moving and storage company, Hampton Roads employs a crew of professional movers who are fast and efficient. The company’s packing service offers specialized materials and containers to provide a stress-free move.
Not Just for Homeowners
In 2015, Hampton Roads consolidated its operations into one location in Suffolk, Virginia.
There are several military bases located in Suffolk, so a large portion of Hampton Roads business is military relocations. However, the company does provide corporate relocations and commercial office moving, as well as hotel and restaurant storage and installing.

Free Packing Booklet
Some homeowners prefer to pack their personal items themselves and Hampton Roads has no problem with that. The company even provides a booklet that gives a number of hints and tricks to packing.
The Pack Like a Professional! booklet includes informative chapters on needed materials, basic packing guidelines, and helpful hints and tricks to pack the kitchen, dining room, living room/family room, bedroom, garage, and storage areas.
The Bad
- Pricey Option for Local Moves
Pricey Option for Local Moves
According to the company, there is a high demand for its services and some smaller local move customers may find the prices or terms to be uncompetitive. However, Hampton Roads claims that it will refer customers to another reputable competitor should this situation occur.
To get a pricing estimate, customers will have to call the company and set up a time for an estimator to evaluate their home and provide them with an estimate.
On the scheduled date, Hampton Roads will send out an estimator to perform a walkthrough of the premises. The estimator will determine the size of the move, the number of movers, and the number of hours to perform the service and any additional services. With this information, the estimator will provide customers with an estimate.
Additionally, Hampton Roads offers several other services, including packing, crating, cargo insurance, etc. which may not be as necessary for shorter and smaller moves and will simply add to the final cost.
The Bottom Line
Hampton Roads Moving and Storage is an excellent option for those in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. As a full-service moving and storage company, Hampton Roads offers packing and moving services for businesses, military relocations, employee relocations, seniors, and long-distance moves.
However, the company may not be the best option for those looking to move locally or those who only have a few personal items to move — the company’s extensive services and features make it a pricier option. However, if it's simply not the right choice, Hampton Roads states that it will help consumers find another reputable moving company.
