Moving is a family affair for many who pick up and relocate to a new home.

That sentiment goes double for Mike and Jayden Fulton of Jams Moving Specialists – a powerhouse father-son duo specializing in getting you and your lives into a new space.

The crew at Jams prides itself on its attention to detail for each piece they move. The company had its start in moving antiques – and to this day, the same attention is paid in every scenario. They work with care and keep clean to preserve all items, antique or not. Jams operates a fleet of vehicles that cater to a variety of moving needs – from cargo vans and pickup trucks to smaller trailers and a 26-foot dedicated truck. The Fultons will often adjust their vehicles’ suspension to accommodate heavy-duty items. They even go so far as to shrink-wrap possessions to prevent shifting during a move. Each item is treated like an antique - and it’s that level of care, they say, that sets them apart from other movers.

Their care goes beyond the work itself – the Fultons love their community. They will help clients with cleanouts, dump runs, and donations on top of general moves. In recent years, they have partnered with an organization based in Orange to connect unwanted pieces with Big Brother, Big Sister and Habitat for Humanity – as well as those who are elderly or less fortunate.

Of course, to operate a successful business, the Fultons have had to bring in help from outside the family. When hiring new crew members, Jams conducts thorough background checks and vets them for physical capabilities to ensure they can perform the duties required in their roles. New hires start with smaller jobs – easier moves – working with realtors and clientele who are familiar with the Jams method of doing business, who operate in good faith with the Fulton family. The Fultons evaluate these recruits for their job performance beyond the lifting and carrying – watching how they interact with clients and with fellow crew members. They say this helps them maintain the best possible unit for each project they undertake.

With the Fulton family and Jams as a whole, everything comes down to trust. Mike worked in moving for twenty years before venturing out to form his own company with his son. Mike and Jayden say they build relationships with their community through a mutual respect and understanding – emphasizing the local, neighborly nature of their business. Earning respect and trust, they say, leads to more work… and there will always be another family to help.
