Our Company

A difference that keeps people coming back time and again…

"Your estimator…was knowledgeable, experienced and informative in a way that reassured me I was choosing the right company. (Your) men moved swiftly and at the same time were most careful with my furniture. Most impressive was the strength and skill with which they moved two heavy wood desks. The crew worked with a sense of humor and a sense of dedication. I feel fortunate to have chosen well."
Celeste O'Brien - Moved from Arden to Candler, NC 

What makes Gasperson Moving & Storage distinctive in the world of moving and relocation companies? The enormous sense of responsibility each employee feels, both in living up to the Gasperson reputation and in handling people's important possessions during a move.

Grand pianos and priceless antiques, or children's toys and everyday flatware - it matters not the cargo, but the degree of skill, ease and peace of mind that defines a good move. Gasperson Moving & Storage helps you prepare, organize and plan your move. Good planning ensures a smooth move!

Having a full-time staff, the Gasperson team is skilled at working together. After all, dedication and accountability have been the hallmark of Gasperson Moving & Storage since its early days…from founder George Baile Gasperson, to son Frank "Doepop" Gasperson, to the brothers Roy and Herman Gasperson, to great-grandson Bruce Gasperson and finally to the Hunnicutt family of today.

Gasperson Moving & Storage has grown from its small family roots to a company of nearly 40 people, developing a complete menu of services:

• Residential moving, including nationwide relocation capability (in partnership with Stevens Worldwide Van Lines)
• Commercial business moving
• Multiple, secure storage locations

Gasperson's entire team of people, from estimators, packers, drivers and movers, are full-time employees - not day laborer or temporary hired help - who execute each move with a spirit of teamwork and cooperation that has become a standard…a standard you can trust.

A History of Moving…Gasperson was There

At the turn of the 20th century, when the sound of hoof beats was still as common as the sound of engines, the town of Asheville, North Carolina was a destination for the rich and famous, a location of springs and health resorts that drew American aristocracy from their big cities to the mountains for summer vacations and extended holidays.

People arrived by carriage or trainload, and with them came all their belongings - wagonloads of heavy, cumbersome steamer trunks, packed to the hilt. Even then, the rich and famous knew who they could trust to haul their "drayage" - as it was called - from train stations through the steep streets and mountain terrain of western North Carolina.

It was here, at the turn of the century, a moving company was born.

Today, Asheville is still a popular relocation destination for hundreds of households who arrive every year. Gasperson Moving & Storage was there then, and is still here now to help. In 100 years - through six generations of two families - Gasperson Moving & Storage has built a reputation as impressive as its heritage.

Whether moving your home, moving a business or moving cross-country, Gasperson knows how to handle the business of relocation…our family helping your family make the best move possible.
