About Wirks Moving & Storage

Moving is a truly special experience, as your home is more than just a place to rest your head - it’s where you make memories, potentially raise a family, and grow into the best version of yourself! At Wirks Moving & Storage, we believe that every move is a personal journey and want nothing more than to ensure you feel supported and confident as you step into the next chapter of your life.

Founded in 2009 during one of the toughest economic downturns in recent memory, Wirks Moving & Storage began as the determined vision of founder Eric Wirks. At only 26, Eric lost everything and found himself living in an extended-stay hotel - effectively homeless. Yet, instead of giving in to despair, he worked 20-hour days, juggling every role on his own and holding tight to a single purpose: help others embrace moving as a hopeful new chapter in life.

This passion for helping others was further shaped by the compassion of a fertility doctor named Sue, who was kind enough to believe in Eric and lent him $11,000 when he needed it most. Of course, forever impacted by this gesture, Eric has paid it forward in more ways than one, such as by funding a friend’s fertility treatment, which is a testament to the core values that have guided our company from the very beginning.

Today, those principles - extreme ownership, integrity, and altruism - define Wirks Moving & Storage and drive us to go the extra mile for every customer.

Over the years, we’ve grown from a one-man operation into a trusted name that’s successfully completed over 20,000 moves. Eric often says that none of this could have happened alone; it’s the combined effort of a dedicated team that transforms moving from a dreaded chore into a smooth, uplifting experience. Each milestone in our journey, whether that’s expanding our fleet of clean, reliable trucks or improving our warehouse facilities, reflects a deep desire to make your next move something you can truly look forward to. 

Through every box we pack and every mile we travel, we remain devoted to our original vision: providing exceptional service rooted in compassion, gratitude, and the belief that every fresh start should be met with optimism.

At Wirks Moving & Storage, we believe that true peace of mind begins with exceptional training and a heartfelt commitment to caring for your belongings as if they were our own. Each member of our crew undergoes rigorous instruction on safe lifting techniques, careful packing methods, and the best use of our modern equipment - ensuring your family’s keepsakes and treasured items are handled gently and efficiently.

We’re proud to hold the necessary federal and state licenses (MC 699457 DOT 192465 GDPS 500873) and maintain full insurance coverage to protect your move from start to finish. In addition, we’re certified by the American Moving & Storage Association, demonstrating our commitment to upholding industry-leading standards of integrity and professionalism.

But our mission is deeper than the paperwork and certifications, as what truly sets us apart is our empathetic approach to the moving process that’s been refined for over 12 years and across 20,000+ customers served. We understand all too well that every box holds a lifetime of memories, and we will do our best to honor the emotional weight until you're settled in with a smile.

At Wirks Moving & Storage, we're passionate about paying it forward. When news of the Ohio train disaster broke, our founder Eric stepped up by launching a web page and donating thousands to a local charity, showcasing the selflessness at the heart of everything we do. Whether we’re delivering relief to families in crisis or making a difference in our own backyard, we aim to bring genuine compassion to every community we touch.

We also strive to engage with our community and are partners with the Georgia Festival of Trees!
