An office relocation involves more people than a household move. Staff want to know where their desk will end up. A property manager controls the freight elevator and the loading dock. The records you keep have to come out of the boxes in the same order they went in. Dry Ridge Moving has worked in Western North Carolina since 2006, and our commercial work covers professional offices, retail shops and medical or other professional suites.
Our base is 3 Creek View Drive in Asheville. A move from a downtown suite to Biltmore Park, or from a studio in the River Arts District to a building near the airport, is local work for us.
Relocating an employee rather than a business? Their household belongs on our residential or long-distance pages.
We move the furniture, fixtures and boxed contents of:
Asheville’s commercial addresses are spread out. Downtown and the South Slope have older buildings and tight curbs, the River Arts District mixes studios with warehouses, Biltmore Park has newer mixed-use buildings, and the airport and I-26 corridor has larger office and flex space. Each one changes where a truck can stop and how far the crew carries, so tell us both addresses when you call.
Most multi-tenant buildings have rules for movers. Before you set a date, ask the property manager at the old and the new building for their move rules in writing. Common questions to ask:
Send us whatever the building gives you when you request a quote. If a building needs something from the mover, tell us what it requires up front so it is part of the plan rather than a surprise at the dock.
An office unload runs best when nobody on the crew has to guess. Pick a simple code before packing starts, such as floor, room and desk number, and use it everywhere:
On moving day the crew reads the labels and takes each item to the room marked on it. Questions go to the one person holding the list, not to whoever happens to be nearby.
Paper records are the part of an office move people regret rushing. Decide early who packs them. You can have our crew pack the whole office, or your staff can pack everything themselves. Either way, a few habits keep records usable:
Read how our packing service works if you want the crew to handle every box.
Conference tables, credenzas, filing cabinets, reception seating and display cases are padded and shrink-wrapped before they leave the room, so finishes and glass travel protected. Your office rides on one truck with one crew, and we never mix another customer’s load in with yours.
If the old lease ends before the new space is ready, we have secure on-site shared storage to hold furniture and boxes in the gap.
Some businesses move one department or one floor at a time instead of everything at once. If that suits you, tell us how you want the phases split and we will quote the move that way.
Before each moving day, the crew reviews NCDOT road-closure notices and plans the route and arrival time around them. For moves to a branch office elsewhere in the Southeast, our long-distance page explains how those jobs are priced and documented.
Yes. We move the furniture, boxed files and supplies of medical, dental and other professional suites. Tell us about any specialized equipment when you request a quote so we can confirm whether it is something we move.
We can quote by phone, or walk through the space in person or by video, which is common for larger offices. Either way you get a written estimate.
No. Each move gets one truck and one crew, and we never combine loads.
Yes. We handle local moves throughout Western North Carolina and long-distance moves throughout the Southeast.
Tell us both addresses, roughly how many rooms or workstations are moving, and anything your building requires. We will quote by phone or set up a walkthrough, and you will get a written estimate. Call (828) 450-3315 or fill out the form below to get a free quote.
