Ask someone in Asheboro for directions and they’ll tell you where things are relative to the Zoo, not the interstate. That’s a small detail, but it’s the kind of thing that separates Asheboro movers who actually work this market from a moving company that just added the city to a service area list on a website somewhere. Excel Moving & Storage has been relocating Randolph County households and businesses for years out of our Greensboro office, about thirty miles up US 220, and we’ve learned the difference between a crew that knows Asheboro and one that’s just passing through on the way to somewhere bigger.
Asheboro is the Randolph County seat, home to the North Carolina Zoo, and a city that’s earned its “Zoo City” nickname honestly. It’s also a town in the middle of a real transportation crossroads: Interstate 73/74 and US Highway 220 run right through it, and it sits almost exactly 70 miles from both Raleigh and Charlotte, which puts it in an unusually central spot for a city its size. That geography matters more than people realize when you’re planning a move, no matter if it’s three streets over or three states away.
A lot of moving companies treat every city the same way: show up, load the truck, drive to the destination. But Asheboro’s spot at the junction of I-73/74 and US 220, combined with its near-equal distance from the state’s two largest metro areas, means a move starting here has more routing flexibility than a lot of smaller towns tucked away from the interstate system. For long distance movers North Carolina clients rely on, that translates into fewer detours and more predictable timing, whether the destination is across the state or across the country.
Downtown Asheboro has also changed a lot in recent years. Sunset Avenue and the surrounding blocks have been revitalized with local restaurants, breweries, and shops, which means more people are choosing to move into the city center instead of just passing through it. Our crews have handled moves into those older downtown buildings enough times to know what a narrow stairwell or a tight parking situation on a Saturday afternoon actually looks like in practice, not just on paper.
A move through Zoo City deserves a crew that already knows the shortcuts. Let’s get yours planned right.
Randolph County has grown steadily as people look for a slower pace without giving up easy access to the bigger cities nearby, and that shows up in the range of moves we handle here. Families relocating for schools or a shorter commute to Greensboro or High Point make up a big share of it. Retirees who want small-town life without losing proximity to hospitals and airports are another common group. We also see a fair amount of manufacturing and small-business relocation, since the Piedmont has a long history of furniture and textile work that still shapes the local economy today.
Asheboro movers who only see this as a stopover between bigger cities miss most of that context. We don’t, because most of our work here comes from the same kinds of moves happening on repeat, year after year, not a one-off job we happened to pick up.
Not every move out of Asheboro is headed for another state. Plenty of our work here is people relocating within Randolph County, moving from one side of town to the other, or coming in from Randleman, Liberty, or Ramseur to settle closer to the city center. For local movers in North Carolina handling that kind of move, the job isn’t really about distance. It’s about knowing the neighborhoods, knowing which streets get tight during school pickup, and showing up with a plan instead of improvising once the truck is already parked.
Asheboro movers who only handle long-haul relocations tend to treat a local move like an afterthought. We don’t, because a lot of our business here has always been the short move across town just as much as the long one across the map.
Whatever the scope of your move, Asheboro movers on our team handle it the same way from start to finish:
That range is what makes Asheboro movers through Excel different from a crew that only knows how to load a truck. Every one of those services is handled by the same coordinator from your first call to the last box unloaded.
Every kind of move, one team, zero passing the buck between departments.
A lot of companies claim reliability. What actually backs it up is a track record you can check. Excel has operated as a moving company in North Carolina since 1997, and our Greensboro office, which covers Asheboro and the rest of Randolph County, carries NCUC #C-2311 in addition to our federal USDOT #076235 authority. We’re a proud agent for Allied Van Lines, hold ATA ProMover certification, and carry an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
None of that matters as much as the simple fact that our crews have been doing this work in this specific area long enough to know it well. Asheboro movers who show up once and never come back don’t build that kind of familiarity. Ours has come from doing the work here, repeatedly, for a long time, and it shows in the small details, like which downtown loading areas fill up fastest on a weekend and which back roads actually save time over the highway.
Every move begins with a consultation, either over the phone or in person, where we talk through your timeline, your destination, and anything unusual about either location. From there we build a written plan and, for larger or long-distance moves, a binding estimate based on an accurate inventory rather than a guess. On move day, our crew handles packing, loading, and transport, with a coordinator managing the details so you’re not stuck fielding questions mid-move. If your new home is a state away, we coordinate the long-haul logistics through Allied’s network. If it’s a few miles across Asheboro, we handle it just as carefully, without treating it like the smaller, less important job.
Interstate movers in North Carolina need the same attention to detail whether the trip is four hours or four days, and that consistency is exactly what our process is built around.
Twenty-nine years serving Randolph County means we’ve already worked out the details you’re worried about.
Yes, we handle both. A large share of our work here is local relocation within Asheboro and the surrounding Randolph County towns, including Randleman, Liberty, and Ramseur, alongside the long-distance moves passing through on their way somewhere else.
Two to four weeks ahead works well for local moves, and closer to six to eight weeks for long-distance or corporate relocations, especially during the busier months from late spring through early fall when scheduling fills up faster.
Yes. As an Allied Van Lines agent, we can coordinate interstate relocations from Asheboro to nearly anywhere in the country, with binding estimates and GPS tracking throughout transit.
Yes. Full packing, partial packing, and unpacking services are all available, along with materials suited to fragile or valuable items.
Our secure, climate-controlled storage facility in Greensboro covers Asheboro clients who need a gap between move-out and move-in, whether that gap is a few days or a few months.
Yes. We operate under USDOT #076235 and NCUC #C-2311, and every move includes insurance and valuation options reviewed with you before the truck is loaded.
Moving across Asheboro or leaving Randolph County behind entirely both deserve the same level of planning. Call our Greensboro team, and we’ll walk through your timeline and put together a plan built around how our Asheboro movers actually get the job done.
