By national ratios Charleston supports about 30 full-time mover pros — enough for a real local trade with specialists, not just generalists. That is smaller than most United States cities we cover. 63 % of homes are owner-occupied, so the work skews toward owners who decide and pay themselves — repairs, upgrades and maintenance plans. The housing stock is old for the country, which pushes repair and replacement demand above the national average.
