A Move You Can Afford, From People You Can Trust

When Austin McElwain and Dakota Potter started Secure Moving Solutions, they weren’t just thinking about boxes and trucks. They were thinking about people. Families stressed over a big move, business owners relocating a growing team, or grandparents worried about their antiques.

Whether it’s a local move across Wilmington or a long haul out of state, they treat every item like it’s their own. From junk removal to delicate specialty items, Secure Moving Solutions does it all, with care, speed, and zero stress.
