A Pelham moving company that works both sides of I-65

Tunj Control Moving handles local, statewide, and long-distance moves for Pelham homes, townhomes, and businesses in Shelby County. Our Pelham movers work the golf course streets of Ballantrae, the older ranch homes off Pelham Parkway, and the flex warehouses around Cahaba Valley Parkway. We have spent 5 years moving Birmingham-area households and have completed more than 10,000 moves and furniture installations, with a 4.8-star average from more than 200 Google reviews. The company is licensed and insured. Our office at Perimeter Park sits off US 280, and Cahaba Valley Road runs from 280 straight to US 31 in Pelham.

What our movers run into on Pelham streets

US 31 and I-65 are the two routes that carry most of Pelham’s traffic, with interstate access at exits 242 and 246. Cahaba Valley Road branches off US 31, passes under I-65, and runs along the north edge of Oak Mountain State Park on its way to US 280.

The interstate splits the city into two different kinds of neighborhoods. One side holds the older neighborhoods and the commercial strip along Pelham Parkway. Crosscreek, off Highway 31, is a good example, with ranch homes under mature trees, which means a single floor to carry through and low limbs to watch over the truck. The other side is newer and larger. Ballantrae is a master-planned community with a golf course threaded through it, and some of its floor plans put the garage on the main level above a basement, which adds a flight of stairs between the truck and the lower rooms. In any neighborhood with a homeowners association, ask about move-in rules before you settle on a date.

Before a Pelham move, our estimate covers a short list of access questions:

  • driveway length and where the truck can turn around
  • basement stairs and main-level garages in Ballantrae plans
  • gate codes and association move-in windows
  • elevator access at apartment communities
  • the closest interstate exit for the loading route

Who hires movers in Pelham, and what they book

Pelham’s population has kept growing since the 2020 census, and the people arriving fall into a few groups. Families come for Pelham City Schools, a district that has run its own schools since 2014, and for a commute to downtown Birmingham of roughly 20 to 25 minutes up I-65. Those are full-house residential moves, often with new furniture assembled in a new build. First-time buyers start in the townhomes and condos, and about 16 percent of Pelham households rent, so end-of-month lease turnover keeps our apartment movers busy.

Downsizers trade a two-story house for a ranch in Crosscreek, and those moves lean on packing and white-glove handling because a lifetime of pieces has to fit into fewer rooms. Relocators from other states arrive on our long-distance trucks.

Pelham also sits on the I-65 line between Birmingham and Montgomery, which keeps the warehouse and flex space near the interstate turning over. Those commercial moves get timed for a weekend. Tell us which fits you when you contact us.
