Hermitage Movers Who Do It Right
Hermitage homes run from lake-view properties with long driveways and lower-level walkouts to brick ranches and newer two-story builds in planned communities. Each one moves differently. Lake homes often mean longer carries and outdoor furniture; subdivision homes mean HOA rules on truck parking and hours. We sort all of that out on the walkthrough so move day has no surprises.
As Hermitage movers, JM Moving brings 23+ years of moving experience. Packing, loading, transportation, unloading and placement must be included in the written scope for the specific move.

11 Hermitage Moving Tips
- For lake homes, tell us about steps, slopes or long walks between the truck and the door.
- Clean and dry patio furniture, grills and kayaks a day early so they wrap clean.
- Empty propane tanks are fine to leave behind; full ones cannot ride on a moving truck.
- Check your HOA’s moving-truck rules and any required notice.
- Plan around rush hour on I-40 and Old Hickory Boulevard if you are moving toward downtown.
- Pack seasonal items first: holiday decor, off-season clothes and spare bedding.
- Keep documents, jewelry and medicine with you, not on the truck.
- Take photos of electronics setups before you disconnect them.
- Label boxes by destination room so the crew places them right the first time.
- Reserve elevators if you are moving into a condo or apartment building.
- Do a final room-by-room walk with the crew lead before the truck leaves.

Moving Into or Out of Hermitage: What to Plan
Hermitage sits on Nashville’s east side between Percy Priest Lake and Old Hickory Lake, with quick access to I-40 and the airport. That location shapes moves in a few ways. Many customers are moving within Hermitage or out to Mount Juliet and Lebanon, which are short local runs. Others are heading downtown or west to Green Hills and Belle Meade, where timing around I-40 traffic makes a real difference to your hourly cost. We plan start times so the truck is not sitting in rush hour.
Homes here often include finished basements, bonus rooms over garages, and outdoor living spaces. Bonus rooms mean narrow stairs and tight turns, so we plan which pieces need to come apart. Outdoor spaces mean patio sets, grills, planters and sometimes hot tubs, all of which need cleaning and draining before the move. Tell us about every one of these on the walkthrough so your crew and price are right the first time.
If your sale and purchase do not close on the same day, we can load, hold your belongings and deliver when your new home is ready. That keeps you from paying for two moves or rushing a closing. Ask about moving with storage when you call.
Real Hermitage Movers, Not a Broker
Many companies that call themselves Hermitage movers online are brokers who sell your job to whoever is free. With JM Moving, the crew on your walkthrough is the company that shows up on move day, driving our own truck. That is how we keep our white glove standard on every job.
Settling In
Set up utilities before move day, update your address with the post office and your bank, and keep our number. If a piece needs adjusting after you live with the layout, call us.
Long-Distance From Hermitage
For a long-distance request, share both addresses, inventory, access, dates and requested services. Confirm the legal carrier, route, crew, truck, delivery terms and written price for the specific move. See Nashville long-distance movers.
How to Check Any Mover
Get the scope, arrival window and price in writing. Confirm the company owns its trucks and employs its crew. For interstate moves, check the mover through FMCSA Protect Your Move. More in our guide to avoiding moving scams in Nashville.
What a Hermitage Move Day Looks Like
The crew lead from your Hermitage movers team calls ahead with an exact arrival time. On lake properties we park where the walkthrough said the carry is shortest and safest, and the crew stages outdoor furniture, grills and boats-gear separately so they stay clean and dry. Inside, floors get runners, door jambs get pads and banisters get covers before anything moves.
Furniture is blanket-wrapped and stretch-wrapped, beds and tables come apart, and every bolt goes into a labeled bag with its piece. Heavy items load low and forward; art, mirrors and fragile boxes load last so they come off first. At the new home the crew places every box in its room, rebuilds furniture and sets it where you want it. You do a final walk with the crew lead before we leave.
| Home size | Typical crew | Flat rate from |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1 bedroom | 2 movers | $350 |
| 2–3 bedrooms | 3 movers | $550 |
| 4+ bedrooms | 4 movers | $850 |
Exact pricing is confirmed when we talk about your move. Lake homes with long carries or walkout basements may need an extra mover, and we tell you before you book.
Why Homeowners Pick JM Moving as Their Hermitage Movers
When people compare Hermitage movers, the questions are usually the same: who is actually coming, what will it cost, and what happens if something goes wrong. With JM Moving the answers are simple. The people on your walkthrough are our own employees. The truck is our own 26-ft box truck. The price is set after we see your home, in person or by video, and the hourly rate does not change because of stairs, elevators, travel time or fuel on a local move.
When a closing, lease or weather event changes the plan, call JM Moving to ask what crew, truck and after-hours availability can be confirmed for the requested move.
Finally, our Hermitage movers pack with brand-new boxes and materials, never used cartons, and every fragile, high-value item gets written condition notes before it leaves your home. That is the white glove standard we bring to every job.
Packing a Hermitage Home, Space by Space
A lot of Hermitage homes have more living space outside and below ground than the bedroom count suggests: walkout basements, screened porches, bonus rooms over the garage and decks facing the water. Our Hermitage movers pack those spaces in a set order so the last week is not a scramble. If you would rather hand all of it off, our packing services come with brand-new boxes and materials.
- Deck, porch and dock area: Hose off and dry patio furniture, cushions and planters. Stack cushions in large boxes or bags. Life jackets, fishing gear and paddles go in their own labeled boxes so they do not mix with house items.
- Walkout basement: Usually the biggest job in the house. Sort the bar area, game room, storage closets and any workshop first. Glassware from a basement bar gets cell-divider boxes just like the kitchen.
- Bonus room over the garage: These rooms have tight stairs, so we plan which sofas and beds need to come apart. Empty bookshelves and media cabinets before the crew arrives.
- Kitchen: Pack the pantry and rarely used appliances first, then dishes in dish packs about five days out. Keep a small “last week” kit of plates, cups and a pan.
- Primary suite and closets: Wardrobe boxes keep hanging clothes on the rod. Jewelry and documents ride with you.
- Garage: Bag hardware, bundle long-handled tools and empty fuel from mowers and outboard-motor cans. Full propane tanks cannot go on the truck.
A Hermitage Moving Timeline That Works
Here is the schedule our Hermitage movers give families moving a full house. Tick it off with our Nashville moving checklist.
- Eight weeks before: Call for a walkthrough, in person or by video. Mention lake access, long carries, a hot tub, piano or safe.
- Six weeks before: Request your HOA’s move rules and any required notice. Start clearing the basement and the garage.
- Five weeks before: Schedule an electrician to disconnect a hot tub, and line up anyone you need for the boat lift or dock items that stay with the house.
- Four weeks before: Pack seasonal decor, off-season clothes and guest rooms.
- Three weeks before: Book utility transfers and mail forwarding. Confirm your arrival window with your Hermitage movers.
- Two weeks before: Clean and dry outdoor furniture and grills. Use up frozen food.
- Three days before: Pack the kitchen down to basics and pack a first-night box for each person.
- Move day: Meet the crew lead, walk every level including the deck and dock area, and sign off only after the final walk.
Hot Tubs, Pianos, Safes and Other Heavy Items
Heavy, awkward items are where a move can go wrong, so our Hermitage movers plan each one before move day instead of figuring it out in the driveway.
Hot tubs
The tub needs to be drained and electrically disconnected before we arrive. We check the path from the pad to the truck, including gates, slopes and steps, and bring the right equipment. Read more on our hot tub movers page.
Pianos
Pianos in walkout basements or on upper floors get a planned route, padding and a piano board. More on our piano movers page.
Safes
Tell us the size, the weight if you know it, and where it sits now and where it needs to go. Empty it and keep the contents with you. See our safe movers page.
Grills, smokers and outdoor kitchens
Freestanding grills and smokers should be cleaned and cooled, and propane tanks removed. Built-in outdoor kitchens stay with the house.
Condo, Townhome and HOA Moves in Hermitage
Not every Hermitage move is a house on the lake. Many of the jobs our Hermitage movers handle are in planned communities, townhome rows and condo buildings, and those come with rules. Ask your HOA or property manager for move hours, truck parking spots, any deposit required, and whether an elevator or loading dock needs to be reserved. Send that to us and we schedule the crew around it. If you are moving into a building, our condo movers page explains how we protect hallways and elevators.
Moving With Kids and Pets
Lake houses and big yards mean a lot of Hermitage families have dogs and young kids. Plan a sitter or a closed-off room for both on move day, since doors stay open for hours. Pack each child a backpack with snacks, a tablet and a favorite toy, and set up their rooms first at the new house. Pets travel in your car with food, water and bedding. See our tips on moving with pets and moving with children.
What Happens on the Quote Call With Our Hermitage Movers
When you call, we ask a few simple questions: where you are moving from and to, the size of the home, your date, and what makes it different, like a walkout basement, a long carry from the driveway, outdoor furniture or a hot tub. Then we book a walkthrough in person or by video. After that you get your hourly rate or flat rate, the crew size and an arrival window. Your exact price is confirmed when we talk through your move, and nothing is added later for stairs, elevators, travel time or fuel on a local move.
The goal is that the Hermitage movers who show up already know your home. No guesswork on the day, no surprise extra crew, and no upselling. Call (615) 710-9990 at any hour.
Best Times to Book Hermitage Movers
Summer weekends and the end of each month book up first for Hermitage movers, since leases and closings stack up on those dates. If you can pick a mid-week, mid-month date, you get more choice of arrival times. If you cannot, book your Hermitage movers four to six weeks ahead. For emergencies, JM Moving asks customers to confirm current availability and books same-day moves whenever a crew and truck are free.
