Most Greensboro households call Best Bet once the day shapes up as two jobs in a trench coat: a Fisher Park bungalow with a piano headed down a steep stoop, then a townhouse across Adams Farm where the HOA wants the truck off the cul-de-sac before sundown. Wesley Holloway built this outfit in 2014 so one Triad-grown team owns both ends of that day. We hold NCUC registration as a North Carolina household-goods mover, every rig is ours, and our College Hill load-out crew rides the truck over to Lawndale Drive and sets the same couch back down themselves.
Two booking lanes — pick whichever your move actually needs
The brand name covers both halves of what we do, and choosing right keeps real money in your pocket:
- Full-service move, fixed quote in writing. Our W-2 team, our rig, our blankets. Whatever Wesley puts on the binding sheet is what you owe once the final carton is off the truck — beds back together, dining table reassembled, walkthrough done.
- Hourly labor-only at $95 / $130 / $165 per hour for 2, 3, or 4 movers. You bring the rig (PODS, U-Haul, Penske, rented box truck, even a friend’s pickup) and Best Bet supplies the muscle. Load the rental Saturday, unload it Sunday, shuffle a den for the floor refinisher on Monday — identical Triad W-2 team, no truck on the invoice.
Plenty of Greensboro outfits will not touch labor-only because they lose hourly margin without their own rig involved. Wesley designed Best Bet around saying yes to both lanes, because half the calls out of Westover Terrace flippers and High Point Market vendors are labor-only at heart.
A fixed figure on paper, locked before move morning
Booking a full-service job, Wesley tours each room, totals the job, and writes a binding sheet that does not move come delivery. There is no fuel surcharge slipped onto the bill, no extra line for the nine steps of a Fisher Park porch. Should the inventory honestly grow past what was walked, you get word before one more thing is lifted.

The Triad addresses we work every week
✓ Our own trucks, with Best Bet movers on our W-2 payroll
- Ring the office and Wesley or somebody else from the Battleground Avenue team picks up in person — never a rented call floor in another state
- The figure on the written estimate is the figure you settle on at the door, full stop — no surprise stair fee, no overweight surcharge, no padded line slid quietly onto the invoice.
- The same Best Bet crew packs the house, fills the truck and walks the boxes back inside at the destination, with no swap at any point
- $1M of cargo coverage rides every load, and any COI your HOA or downtown high-rise needs goes out the same business day
- If anything goes sideways, Wesley handles the claim directly out of the Greensboro office, and it never bounces around a third-party desk
× Broker chain
- Hand those same details to a broker and they bounce across a call floor before getting auctioned to whichever carrier underbids the rest.
- Surprise “assessment fees” tacked onto the invoice the minute the truck rolls up
- An unmarked truck pulls in carrying a crew nobody at the office can really vouch for
- The COI and the HOA paperwork get dumped back on you to chase down before the elevator opens
- A broken heirloom brushed aside with a “that crew was not really ours” line and a phone number that goes to voicemail
Newcomers underestimate how wide Guilford County actually runs, and the homes shift wildly inside ten minutes of each other. Irving Park is minutes off Battleground Ave but the work means white-glove pieces along long drives and original hardwood unforgiving of a sloppy dolly. Fisher Park, Westover Terrace, and College Hill mean 1920s craftsmans on raised stoops with curbside parking only. Around Elm Street and the South Elm loft conversions, freight elevators get held and the property manager wants a COI in hand by midweek. Adams Farm, Lake Jeanette, Sedgefield, and Henson Forest in Summerfield run on access codes and assigned arrival slots. Wendover Ave walk-ups and the UNCG / N.C. A&T corridor stack garden units three floors up, elevator-less, with a 90-degree June afternoon waiting outside. Most Triad homes ride brick ranches and Colonial two-stories over crawl spaces or partial basements, not slab like the FL or AZ pattern, and we plan load-in around the sloped yard or bulkhead doors accordingly.
By the hour vs. flat band — whichever costs less, that is what we quote
A one-bedroom out of a Wendover walk-up almost always pencils cheaper on the clock; a packed three-bedroom in Sedgefield usually comes out lower as a flat band. Send Wesley the floorplan and the angle from driveway to front door, and he will steer the quote toward whichever costs less. Studio bands run $390–$640; one-bedroom $640–$1,040; two-bedroom $1,040–$1,700; three-bedroom $1,700–$2,780; four-bedroom $2,720–$4,300. Full-move hourly figures sit in the table below.
| Crew size | Full-move rate | Labor-only rate | Typical fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 movers | $115/hr | $95/hr | Studio or one-bed walk-up around UNCG or Wendover Ave |
| 3 movers | $160/hr | $130/hr | Townhouse or single-story Colonial in Jamestown or Kernersville |
| 4 movers | $205/hr | $165/hr | Larger Irving Park or Henson Forest home, stair stoop, or tight HOA window |
Quick prep list before our rig rolls up
Handling a couple of small things on your end keeps the hours honest:
- Forward us the gate code plus your assigned window for Adams Farm, Lake Jeanette, Sedgefield, or Henson Forest.
- If you are in an Elm Street loft or a South Elm warehouse conversion, drop us the building’s COI rules and elevator hours by Wednesday.
- Stake out a shaded area by the entry; Triad Julys live in the 90s with daily-afternoon thunderstorms.
- Mention any crawl-space hatch, basement bulkhead, or upper-floor walk-up when you book so the crew is sized correctly.
- Across January and February, leave breathing room on the calendar in case overnight ice shuts I-40 or US-29.
- For a labor-only booking, have the rental rig parked curbside before the start window so our Triad crew can clock right in.
