Leicester Movers

An Asheville crew covering Leicester and the rest of Western NC.

Moving in Leicester, NC

Leicester spreads across the rural northwest corner of Buncombe County, about 15 to 20 minutes from Asheville out Leicester Highway (NC-63) toward Sandy Mush and the Newfound Mountains. It is farm country and forested ridgeline — Big Sandy Mush Creek, the long valley roads, and the working pastures give Leicester a genuinely rural feel that sets it apart from the closer suburbs. We run NC-63 and the back roads toward Sandy Mush often, so the long gravel drives and the mountain switchbacks out here are familiar to our crew.

How we work Leicester

A lot of the moves are families wanting land and quiet within reach of the city, plus longtime residents shifting within the Sandy Mush and Newfound areas. Rest Easy handles every piece directly — our own trucks, our own uniformed W-2 movers, no contractors. Wesley founded the company in 2015 in Buncombe County so the rural west side would have a mover that reliably shows up, and our crew carries that to the end of every Leicester drive.

Two movers and a truck run $139/hr with pads, dollies, and tools in the rate, and $195/hr adds a third mover for bigger loads or long carries from the road. A 1-bedroom usually lands in the $610–$910 band and a 3-bedroom house $1,740–$2,560. We give the written estimate before the move per North Carolina law, and a $150 deposit secures the date and comes off the total. Our NCUC certificate and US DOT/MC authority stay current for interstate jobs.

Leicester’s narrow valley roads, long private drives, and the switchbacks toward the Newfound ridge make truck size and an experienced driver matter more than in town, so we plan access carefully before move day. Tell us the inventory and where it is headed and we will set a clear plan and a firm price.

What's Covered

  • Two uniformed movers plus a fully stocked truck at $139/hr, with pads, dollies, and tools in the rate

“Out in Mills River our road is one of those narrow switchbacks with no shoulder, and you can't just send any truck up it. Rest Easy scouted it on the phone first, asked good questions about clearance and the turnaround, and brought the right size rig. The two movers were professional, wrapped the appliances, and got the upright freezer down the back steps without scratching the deck. Final bill matched the written estimate and the deposit came off the top. This is the third time I have used them across two different houses and they have never let me down.”

“Just needed muscle to load a trailer out in Leicester. Two guys, hourly labor at $139, no minimum equipment charge. They were quick and stacked it tight. Started about fifteen minutes late because of ice on the back roads, which honestly I would rather they drive slow than wreck. Good value.”

FAQ

Leicester is out in the country — will you actually drive that far?
Yes, regularly. Leicester is 15 to 20 minutes northwest on NC-63 and inside our area. The rural distance doesn't add a surcharge; you get the same hourly rate and deposit as a job in Asheville proper.
We have a long gravel drive and the truck can't reach the house — what then?
We plan for that out here often. After scouting the access we either bring the right-size truck or run a shuttle from where the big truck can park, so the long carry from a Sandy Mush drive is handled, not improvised.
Can you handle a move from a working farm or property with outbuildings?
We can. We will walk the inventory across the house and any outbuildings during the estimate so the written quote reflects the real load, not a guess, and the crew arrives ready for it.
Are these your own movers or a hired-out crew?
Our own. The people who pull into Leicester are Wesley's W-2 employees in Rest Easy uniforms, driving our trucks. We do not broker the work or pass your things to anyone else.
