About US

Four Pillars Moving

Our Story

Four Pillars Moving was founded in 2022 in Carthage NC by Isreal McDonald, Solomon McDonald, and Shannon Pratt. Originally serving Carthage, NC, and Pinehurst, NC, our company quickly earned a reputation for professionalism, care, and efficiency. Joining them for a short time was Corey Wood of Whispering Pines.

Following Hurricane Helene in 2024, Isreal, Solomon, Shannon, and Zach Hales returned to Carthage from Asheville, bringing with them a renewed mission to help families relocate with ease. We expanded our service area to Raleigh, Durham, and Charlotte while also making frequent trips back to Asheville to assist families both within the city and across the state.

Between January 2025 and August 2025, Four Pillars went through a period of restructuring and rebranding, emerging stronger than ever under the leadership of Isreal, Solomon, and Shannon.

Today, we proudly serve Carthage, Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Raleigh, Durham, Apex, Cary, Chapel Hill, and Sanford, and also take on moves to Charlotte and Asheville on a per-job basis.
