This is our story.

1st generation
Bill Goodwin started Goodwin House Moving in 1930.  His brother, John, joined him & took over the business.
A team of horses, hard maple wheels, and steel wheels were the equipment John used at this time.
Kenney Goodwin ran the company from 1936-1942 until he went into the army. After he returned in 1944, he continued to move houses for another ten years.
During Kenney's years in the house moving business, steam engines were standard in the industry. He was not satisfied and started making most of his moving equipment, even the dollies, by hand. He eventually bought a truck and averaged 10 to 20 house moves a year.

2nd Generation
In 1954 his son, Jerry, took over the business and started out with his father's home-made equipment.
3rd Generation

Like his father did before him, Rick Goodwin, Jerry's son, took over the business in 1983.
4th Generation
5th Generation
Keeping the family business strong, Chris Reighard is continuing the 5th generation of Goodwin movers.
Having come a long way since our inception in 1930, we now have hydraulic dollies, hydraulic fifth wheels, a hydraulic jacking machine, and precision machinery rollers to help us move our houses. Goodwin House Moving averages 80 to 90 moves per year.     Chris has continued to run the company with the same pride and quality.
