Kempsville Movers
Kempsville was one of the first parts of Virginia Beach to fill in with houses, and the brick ranchers along its side streets have been standing since the Johnson administration. Dale Ashworth grew up two blocks off Kempsville Road, and he still lives in the neighborhood today. He opened JBR Moving Team in 2013 with a promise that a quote wouldn’t change once the truck pulled up.

Rush hour along Kempsville Road
The shopping centers strung along Kempsville Road do more to slow a truck down than any driveway in the neighborhood. Sean Marbury builds the route around the worst of it, so the crew isn’t sitting behind a turn lane with a full load.
| The situation | What changes for the crew |
|---|---|
| Brick rancher, established driveway | Straightforward pull-in, truck parked close to the door |
| Home near a Kempsville Road strip mall | Departure timed around the worst of the shopping traffic |
| Older slab with settled edges | Truck staged a few feet off the crack, load carried around it |
How a Kempsville quote actually gets built
Kayla Whitfield asks about the driveway and the nearest cross street before she ever writes a number down, and that’s most of what changes a rancher move from routine to something the crew has to plan around.
- Check the lot: Kayla Whitfield asks about driveway condition and garage contents before quoting.
- Time the departure: Sean Marbury schedules the truck around Kempsville Road’s rush-hour backups.
- Protect the house: Tyrell Banks lays down runners and pads doorframes on original 1960s trim before a single box moves.
What holds a Kempsville number together
Every truck on this job belongs to JBR Moving Team, and the two or three people loading your things draw a paycheck from us directly, not from whoever answered a job listing that week.
One flat number for the whole rancher
A typical two-bedroom rancher in Kempsville runs $1,150 to $1,750 flat, garage contents and all, and the short drive from our Holland Road yard never shows up as a separate line.
