Lawrence Transfer and Storage was founded in Roanoke, Virginia in 1932 by Weldon T. Lawrence, Sr. In 1942, Lawrence Transfer and Storage joined the United Van Lines family to secure loads for our fleet of furniture vans. Weldon T. Lawrence, Jr. succeeded his father as President in 1950 and vigorously set out to establish the Roanoke based operation as one of the leading moving and storage companies in the Eastern United States. In 1968, Lawrence began operating in the Waynesboro, VA area thanks to our acquisition of another local moving company. In 1972 we built a custom warehouse and office facility to house our Waynesboro operations. In July 1976, Lawrence again acquired assets of another moving company and began operations in Durham, NC. In early 1977, this operation was moved to a 15 acre location in the Research Triangle Park near the Raleigh/Durham Airport. As a result of increased business in the Carolina s, a Charlotte, NC location was opened in 1983, and a Greensboro, NC location was opened in 1985.

Comment : My driveway and access were tight, but they adjusted quickly with a clear loading plan. Carry paths stayed safe, heavy pieces moved with control, and communication was practical. Delivery stayed on schedule, room placement was accurate, and the team left the space clean.

Comment : Fragile items were packed thoughtfully with layers of padding and steady handling. The team explained how they would secure the load, then carried everything carefully through tight spaces. Unloading was organized, unwrapping was gentle, and cleanup was tidy. Nothing arrived chipped or scratched.

Comment : Scheduling was simple and the crew followed the plan exactly. They protected floors, wrapped furniture neatly, and kept boxes grouped by room. Updates were clear without being excessive. Delivery placement matched my notes, and the final walkthrough confirmed everything was accounted for.

Posted at August 3rd, 2022 07::08Subject :we sincerely cannot recommend
Comment : They were prompt and more or less efficient. However, the movers damaged our walls and ceiling because they could not figure out how to angle the furniture properly once they did, things slid right in without a problem. They apologized and promised repeatedly that the company would fix the damage, but the company denied liability.

Comment : My son needed to arrange a cross country move on short notice. The company sent an estimator to his home, whereas 5 other companies just quoted him a price over the phone. Once we selected Lawrence, the move coordinator kept in close touch and the move went smoothly. The pickup and delivery times were exactly as promised, and the truck crews were professional. I would recommend this company highly. They said up front they want to please they did
