Can you get a moving truck into the Shepherdstown historic district?

Usually yes, with planning. Some blocks will not take a full-size truck comfortably, so we review the street, driveway and door beforehand and either bring a smaller vehicle or shuttle the load.

How much does a local move cost?

Every move is different, so we provide free, no-obligation estimates based on your home's size, the distance, and what you're moving. Call 304-270-7988 and we'll walk you through it.

Do you provide boxes and packing materials?

Yes. We can handle as much or as little of the packing as you'd like and bring boxes, padding, and supplies on request.

How far in advance should I book?

The earlier the better, especially in the busy spring and summer months. Reach out as soon as you have a date and we'll get you on the calendar.

Are you licensed and insured?

Absolutely. Herb's Hauling is fully licensed and insured, so your belongings are protected every step of the way.

Movers in Shepherdstown, WV

Q: Do you charge extra to come out to Shepherdstown?

No surcharge. Herb's Hauling is based in Kearneysville, a short local run from Shepherdstown. Estimates are based on the size of the job, the crew and the truck required.

Q: Can you help with a Shepherd University move-in or move-out?

Yes, including dorms, campus apartments and off-campus rentals. August and May book up quickly because the whole campus moves in the same week, so book early.

Q: Where does junk from a Shepherdstown cleanout go?

Debris from Jefferson County jobs goes to the Jefferson County Transfer Station at 332 Jefferson Orchard Road, Kearneysville, open 8am to 4pm Monday through Saturday. Usable items are routed to donation where possible.

Q: Do you take single items?

Yes. Single-item moves and single-item haul-offs such as a couch, safe, piano, hot tub or refrigerator are a normal part of our work and are priced accordingly.

Your neighbors, not a franchise

We are already in the neighborhood

Herb’s Hauling works out of Kearneysville, a few miles from the Shepherdstown town limits. That closeness is the whole point: a short run to your door means we are not padding your bill with drive time from Frederick or Hagerstown, and it means we can usually get someone out to look at a job quickly.

We handle the full range here — full household moves, single heavy items, office and storefront relocations, estate and garage cleanouts, and junk removal. Same crew, same trucks, whether you are moving four blocks down German Street or across the country.

Local knowledge

Shepherdstown is not a parking-lot move

The historic district is beautiful and genuinely awkward to move in and out of. Knowing that before the truck shows up is what keeps a move on schedule.

Narrow streets and tight curbside

German, Princess and King Street frontage leaves little room for a full-size truck. We plan the approach, stage a shuttle load when the street will not take the big truck, and keep the lane clear for traffic.

Old houses, older staircases

Narrow treads, tight landings and no elevator are the norm in the older parts of town. We pad the corners, break down what needs breaking down, and reassemble it upstairs.

Shepherd University moves

Shepherd University sits right in town at 301 N King Street, and move-in and move-out weeks put every rental and residence hall on the same schedule. Book early for August and May — those weeks fill up first.

Cleanouts go straight to the county station

The Jefferson County Transfer Station is at 332 Jefferson Orchard Road in Kearneysville, open 8am to 4pm Monday through Saturday. It is minutes from our shop, so a Shepherdstown cleanout does not turn into an all-day disposal run.

What we do here

Every job, one local crew

Whether it is a two-bedroom on the edge of town or a storefront on the main drag, the same people show up.

Household moves

Apartments, townhomes and full houses packed, padded, loaded and placed where you want them.

Student moves

Dorms, shared houses and off-campus apartments — including tight August and May turnarounds.

Junk and cleanouts

Garage, basement and estate cleanouts hauled off and disposed of responsibly at the county station.

Business moves

Offices, shops and studios relocated on a schedule that keeps your doors open.

Questions

Moving in Shepherdstown

Do you charge extra to come out to Shepherdstown?

No surcharge for being in Shepherdstown. We are based in Kearneysville, so this is a short local run for us. Your estimate is based on the size of the job and the crew and truck it needs, not on getting here.

Can you get a truck into the historic district?

Usually yes, with planning. Some blocks will not take a full-size truck comfortably, so we will look at the street, the driveway and the door before the day and decide whether to bring a smaller vehicle or shuttle the load. Tell us the address when you call and we will tell you straight away if it is going to be tight.

Can you help with a Shepherd University move-in or move-out?

Yes — dorms, campus apartments and off-campus rentals. The catch is that everyone moves the same week, so August and May book up fast. Call as far ahead as you can and we will hold a slot.

Where does my junk actually go?

Household and construction debris from Jefferson County jobs goes to the Jefferson County Transfer Station at 332 Jefferson Orchard Road, Kearneysville, open 8am to 4pm Monday through Saturday. Anything still usable we try to route to donation rather than the landfill.

Do you take single items?

Yes. One couch, one safe, one piano, one hot tub, one fridge — single-item moves and single-item haul-offs are a normal part of what we do, and they are priced accordingly.
