“These guys were great! Two movers had my 1 bedroom apartment loaded up in 30 minutes. They were delicate but worked very efficiently and did a great job appropriately loading my U-Haul for a long drive. Communication was great all the way around. I would highly recommend using this company for any move.”
This is where we live and work. Up and Coming covers all of Lexington, from the UK campus blocks and downtown lofts to the ranch homes off Nicholasville Road. A full move or just the muscle to load your truck, pod, or trailer, priced by the hour or flat.
What Shapes a Lexington Move
- UK, Transylvania, and BCTC move weeks pack August and May solid.
- Downtown and campus streets are permit parking with tight loading.
- Second-floor walk-up apartments are everywhere here, so stairs are the norm.
