Coastal factors that change the price
- HOA rules and narrow causeways in gated communities near Pawleys or Litchfield can mean a shuttle fee if a large truck cannot reach your street
- Summer heat and humidity can warp wood, electronics, and leather left in a non-climate-controlled truck, so ask if the truck is ventilated and aim for an early start
- Never accept a phone-only estimate — insist on an in-home or video walkthrough and a binding, or binding-not-to-exceed, quote in writing
- Stilt or elevated beach homes with long exterior stairs or a long gravel driveway often carry a per-stair or per-foot access surcharge
- Scheduling mid-week and mid-month instead of weekends or month-end can shave 10 to 20 percent off the total bill
Because Pawleys Island sees heavy seasonal traffic, booking well ahead of your preferred date also helps you avoid being stuck with whichever crew still has an open slot.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Georgetown County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 55% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
