LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
What to know about moving in Chesapeake
Chesapeake is mostly newer suburban construction, and moves in Greenbrier, Great Bridge, and Western Branch are about as easy as they come: driveways, culs-de-sac, and garage access. The two things to plan around are the high-rise bridge backups on I-64 at rush hour and the drawbridges on the Intracoastal side, which can open at exactly the wrong moment. HOA neighborhoods sometimes want notice before a truck parks overnight, so a quick call ahead saves a note on the windshield.
Peak season

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked about Chesapeake moves
How much does it cost to move in Chesapeake?
Every move is priced by the hour. The rate is locked before we start, with no stair fees, fuel surcharges, or hidden add-ons. Two movers run $112 per hour, and most moves run $200–$350 total for a 2-person crew over 2 to 3 hours. Larger homes that need a third mover or more hours run higher, with the rate locked before we start. Truck rental is separate if you need one. If we finish early, you pay less.
Do I need to provide a truck?
We're labor-only movers. You rent the truck from U-Haul, Penske, or Budget. We handle all the loading, unloading, and heavy lifting. We'll tell you the exact size to get and can book it for you if you want.
What's the Show-Up Guarantee?
We're confident enough in our show rate to put $50 behind every booking. We've completed 50+ moves in the Norfolk area. If a mover arrives 30 minutes after the scheduled start, let us know and we'll knock $50 off your final bill.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Undergrads is a fully licensed and insured moving company in every market we serve, including Chesapeake. Every move includes $1,000 in damage protection. If you're moving into a high-rise or building that requires a Certificate of Insurance (COI), contact us. We handle COI requests before move day.
What neighborhoods in Chesapeake do you serve?
We serve all areas of Chesapeake including Greenbrier, Great Bridge, Western Branch, Deep Creek, and more. If you're anywhere in the Chesapeake metro area, we can likely help. Call (864) 256-1166 if you're unsure.

Tell us your home size and we'll name the truck to reserve, and our crew meets you at your door.
How far is Chesapeake from Norfolk?
About 18 minutes (12 miles) from central Norfolk without traffic. Chesapeake is part of our Norfolk service area, so the same crews cover both, at the same hourly rate, locked before we start.
