“We arrived in Lexington with a van and car packed to the brim with heavy boxes. We had called Up and Coming from the road and Chester and Red were waiting at our new apartment when we arrived. They unloaded everything quickly and efficiently, paying special care to fragile items like the computer and glassware. What had taken us six hours to load up was all unloaded and carried up to the second-floor apartment in about half an hour. Chester and Red were very professional and friendly, a great start to our move to Lexington. Highly recommended.”
Up and Coming moves Richmond, the EKU student apartments and the family homes spreading out from downtown. Campus moves mean stairs and tight parking, and we handle both, whether it is your rental truck to load or a full move.
What Shapes a Richmond Move
- EKU move weeks pack August and May with student jobs.
- Student apartments are mostly second- and third-floor walk-ups.
- It is a longer run south on I-75, folded into the quote.
