Senior Move Planning
What Families Should Know Before Hiring Senior Movers In Charleston
A senior move usually involves more than loading furniture onto a truck. Mako helps families slow the process down, confirm who is making decisions, separate what moves from what stays, and coordinate community rules before the crew arrives.
Charleston Senior Moves Need Coordination, Downsizing, And Care
Senior moves need more patience, communication, and pacing than a standard move. Mako helps families coordinate downsizing, assisted-living move windows, sentimental items, partial packing, and storage timing when the final plan is still changing.

Angela Gustafson
These guys did a fabulous job. They treated me and my family like we were their own, and couldn’t have been more respectful and patient. I would recommend them to anyone!
Jennifer Schlegel
I used Mako Movers On August 9th to move from Summerville South Carolina to Seabrook Island South Carolina. They were just great and I would recommend them to anyone who is about to move. Anything I ask them to do, which included extra packing when they came, was done efficiently and cheerfully. They worked so hard on such a very very hot day. Besides being so accommodating they were relatively inexpensive. I had gotten other estimates and they were the lowest and when all was done it cost me( excluding tips( very close to their estimate. Again, Mako Movers turned out to be an excellent choice.
Heidi Hogg
I moved from Charleston, SC to Miramar Beach, FL. Josh and his 2 movers were absolutely fantastic! Efficient, kind and communicative! I would highly recommend them for any move! Thank you guys for everything!!!

We moved from Charleston to Savannah GA. It was HOT, our house was raised up so EVERYTHING had to come down AT LEAST one flight of stairs, and then everything had to be held for two days overnight. There were NO ISSUES. Mako Movers were, reliable, punctual, careful with all our belongings (NOT A SINGLE BROKEN GLASS) and so easy to work with. I can't say enough, I'm so glad I chose them, they were very reasonably priced and delivered 5 star service.

My family was moving from Summerville to Lexington and we looked at a few different moving companies. Finally decided on Mako and do not regret it. They were very professional and careful with all our belongings. I def recommend this company to anyone needing help moving their things.
Ted Kohler
Recently moved from Charleston, SC to the Annapolis, MD area. These folks were on time, worked hard, and considering I had a wood shop to move, there was not one item damaged. Herb stayed in touch during the route, and did a great job. I would definately hire them again if the need were to arise!
David Williams
Herb, Abe, and Colby were on time, energetic, professional, and enjoyable to be around. They were patient and flexible and handled the difficult, 3rd floor destination items like champs. I was very pleased with the services I received for the price paid, and I would recommend this crew for any move.

Jennifer Cook
This company arrived and worked for our family for 12 hrs. I do not leave many reviews ever but Mako is top notch. I witnessed a group of people that worked efficiently and very carefully. I was very impressed when a couple of the guys mentioned they have worked for Josh for 10 plus years. THAT SAYs A LOT TO ME! Thank you Josh and your crew for the time you committed, service well done! We hope to see you in a year! Al and Jennifer Cook
Jenny Tinsley
The best! Our move was so much easier than I ever imagined. They made sure everything was on time and exactly how we planned it out. Definately will use them when we move again and I will recommend them to our family and friends.
Landon Rozier
If you’re looking for professional movers that are not going to cut any corners and wrap all of your furniture top to the bottom as well as the best price, then look no further than Mako movers. Josh, the owner is phenomenal and his workers are true professionals and experts at their craft. I just cannot say enough great things about the crew. Punctual, absolutely zero damage, extremely nice and kind, and the best price that’s almost too good to be true. A +++ across the board.
