Here’s a few pictures of a little tiny house we moved the other day. It may look little, but don’t let it fool you — this thing was tall and HEAVY. 😅

We move tiny homes, but we typically don’t mess with the ones built on mobile-home style frames with mobile-home axles underneath them like this one. The homeowner was having a hard time finding someone willing to tackle it, so we went and took a look at it and decided to go after it.

Originally, it was only supposed to travel about 4 miles, but plans changed and it ended up going roughly 50 miles.

There’s just something about seeing Old Glory flying while another one rolls down the road. 🇺🇸🏠

Proud to do what we do and keep another home moving on to its next place.

It’s been a little while since we’ve posted, so here’s a photo dump of a few of the jobs we’ve been working on lately.

From getting houses up in the air, loaded, moved, and set back where they belong, we’ve been staying busy.

Some jobs are easy, some are tight, muddy, steep, or just plain challenging — but that’s what makes this kind of work interesting.

We’re proud to still be doing what our family has been doing for generations and thankful for every customer who trusts us with their home.

Another piece of history saved.

Over the last few days, our crew at Smith House Movers has been carefully preparing this beautiful old home for relocation. This house has been sitting on original rock piers for many, many years, and although we are not exactly sure of the age, you can definitely feel the history when you crawl underneath it.

One of the coolest parts of this project is that the home was built out of rough-cut lumber that was originally cut right off the property it sits on. You just do not see craftsmanship and materials like that anymore.

To get the structure ready for the move, we had to remove an extremely heavy masonry chimney and carefully stabilize the house for transport. Soon, this old home will be relocated across the street where the new homeowners plan to restore, preserve, and give it a second life instead of seeing it torn down.

Projects like this are the reason we love what we do. Anybody can demolish an old structure, but saving a historic home and giving it another chance is something special.

Proud to be part of preserving a little piece of Georgia history.

Another successful move in the books for Smith House Movers. This home in Canton, Georgia was moved approximately 4–5 miles to its new location. We removed the sunroom for transport, safely relocated the main house, then set the sunroom back in place and reassembled everything on site.

The house is now spotted in its new location and ready for the new foundation crew. Jobs like this take a lot of planning, patience, and teamwork, especially working through tight roads, utilities, and nighttime transport. Proud of the crew for another smooth move.

The Historic McRae House Has Been Relocated

Today our crew had the honor of relocating the McRae (McCray) House in Acworth, Georgia — a farmhouse believed to date back to the late 1800s.

For more than a century this home stood on its original brick foundation. Instead of being lost to demolition, it was carefully lifted, transported through town, and placed on a new foundation so it can continue standing for generations to come.

Weeks of planning, structural preparation, route coordination, and precision lifting all came together for one incredible move day.

From the first lift…
to the slow roll through downtown…
to the final placement on its new home…

This was more than a move — this was preservation in motion.

Our family has been moving and lifting structures across Georgia since 1956, and being trusted with projects like this is something we never take lightly.

We’re proud to help preserve a piece of Acworth’s history.
