Mover Dudes was started in 2006 by Jon Eye, the company's current President. Eye had been working for a self-storage company helping people move in and out of homes. After hearing about all of the difficulties and stresses people were consistently experiencing when moving, Eye decided that he wanted to help them. He envisioned a company that kept their word to the customer, was honest about costs, and relieved the common stresses of moving. Mover Dudes is now the reality of his vision. The company started small, but with a small ad in the telephone book, the company grew. Eye and his hard-working crew began moving local residents out of the area, and before they knew it, the name “Mover Dudes” was catching on. Long distance moves soon expanded into commercial moves after 1 year in business. Mover Dudes continued to grow, even while fighting, like everyone else, through the tough economy. Our facilities and service areas have continued to expand so that we can offer more service to our customers. Our satellite location opened in Leesburg, Virginia in 2011, and a 2nd one in Charlotteville, Virginia in 2013. We also now have a 5,000 sq. ft. warehouse located in Winchester, which opened in 2013. We are currently focusing on growing in new areas so that we can expand our company's professionalism and quality to more customers. Mover Dudes has moved thousands of people. We move doctors, attorneys, professional athletes, businesses, churches, families, friends, and everyone in between. Jon's and the other Mover Dudes' commitment to customer service and professionalism has never ceased, and it shows with every move. Additional emails - [email protected], [email protected]. Award winning.

"Best moving experience and team I ever had! I've moved a lot (local, intrastate and interstate), and Mover Dudes was the best moving team hands down! Right from the start, they talked me though questions about how to pack things and prep for the move. For a homeowner, moving is one of the most stressful things, but Mover Dudes took all that way and let me feel confident that my stuff was in good hands. The team showed up on time and worked in an orchestrated fashion that looked like pure skill in motion. This meant no mishaps and no time wasted. I would definitely hire them again because they care, did what they said they would, and were professional doing it. If those are values you care about, Mover Dudes is a great choice!"

Whether you’re moving down the street or across the country, we’re dedicated to making your relocation stress-free. Trust our award-winning, highly trained professional movers, with a track record of over 500,000 successful moves and more than 40 years of experience, to ensure a seamless journey to your new home. Experience the JK difference - each move is backed by our brand promise of care and respect and our understanding of what matters most to you. When you move, you’re packing up more than just “stuff”, you’re packing everything that makes your house a home. Across town, the state, or the country - we’ll help you get it there safely.

"TL;DR: Go with someone else. Most of the many problems with our international move were minor, but taken sum total they were absolutely unavoidable and unnecessary. I will say we started strong with Matthew, our Moving Consultant. He was the first contact we had and he was just amazing. Made figuring out the estimate super easy and almost fun, and made us feel valued and appreciated. That value and appreciation ended with him, however. Our relationship with the Move Coordinator was much less cooperative or productive. I’m not sure he was even in our time zone to be honest, and communication with him was impossible by both phone and email. Communication issues become a common thread, and while not specific to the Move Coordinator, it was with him that there should have been the most contact, since he was responsible for….well, coordinating the move. You can’t simply call someone at JK. You have to go through this odd phone tree/voicemail thing, even as a customer who’s put down the deposit. Not great when there are issues. And, issues there were. Overcharges and being charged for things that never materialized, like a parking pass that wasn’t even applied for, despite being charged for. Being charged for a shuttle, when the actual container was delivered. Weights that didn’t make sense. A 10% guarantee (their words, not mine) that wasn’t calculated into our final fee. Things like that add up, and seems like either incompetence or a money grab, or both. I don’t want to say the incompetence extended to the moving crew. They were wonderful and extremely hard working but less than an hour into the move they weren’t sure everything would fit, despite us paring down a significant amount to get into the smaller container. The issue was actually due their their small stature, they couldn't reach high enough to fully pack the container. This is where communication became an issue; no one was answering phones (on any of their lines), and 9 am moves are great unless your coordinator is on West Coast time. The fix was simple; we used a ladder to fully pack the container, but why was that my job to figure out? Other communication issues persisted even after our items departed for shipping. Despite multiple calls to our Coordinator, and even his manager, they went unanswered. Crucially, we could never get an answer from our Move Coordinator about insurance. What should have been quoted well before the move, was actually quoted once it was on board the ship. We felt very much held hostage by his reluctance or incompetence…luckily in the end, our items arrived undamaged and despite paying for the insurance, it was unnecessary to file any claims. It would have been nicer knowing up front what it was going to be however. We were quite fortunate to have an excellent coordinator for the other end of the move in Europe. They were amazing, and we were quite fortunate to have them. They were amazing, professional, concise and responsive. They were NOT part of JK Moving, and it showed. We were able to occasionally get in contact with another coordinator, Courtney. She was awesome, and luckily filled in the many gaps as the original coordinator was unresponsive or overwhelmed or just didn’t care. She went above and beyond (or maybe just did the job that should have been done?) and offered a little bit of hope. We were excited to choose JK Moving, as they seem to have a reputation of excellence and dependability. They proudly proclaim that they move the White House. It was apparent to us that they may actually do that, but it was not with the team we were assigned. Not sure if anyone at JK Moving reads this, or even cares, but we never had a follow up from anyone after the move, except to ask for more money for an incorrect invoice over 2 months after shipment. I have receipts, and I have nothing to gain from embellishment. You would have nothing to gain from using JK Moving’s services except more unnecessary stress on an already stressful situation."

Able is a local business success story, celebrating over 25 years in business. A family owned & operated business, Able grew from one truck and a small office in 1987 to a leading regional moving services company with a fleet of modern trucks, state of the art storage facilities and local, national and worldwide service capabilities. Additional phones - (703) 978-6683, (703) 978-8616. Additional contact name - Joe Singleton.

"Terrible!! DO NOT USE! Pictures do not do much justice as there was a scratch on almost everything. From start to finish this was a miserable experience with NOT Able. First, I had requested an estimate as we had a lot of stuff. After being given the third degree, someone came out and adjusted the quote. He also wrote down specialty supplies that would be needed and they would provide and we would pay extra for it. We have a bed with a an adjustable bed frame and from the start I wanted to know if I needed to have a special company come. The two people I talked to on the phone and the person who came to do the estimate assure me they would. Also assured my wall T.V. mount would be put back up (was not expecting that.) The day of the move as soon as the movers walked in they said they would not take the T.V.s. I showed them I purchased special boxes for them from Able. They did not bring them and said that I would have to go out and buy them. So I did and I also had to pack them. Art work as I read I would have to take and was prepared for this but they refused lamps and mirrors. I also purchased special mirror boxes which again they did not have. When I showed them that they threw a packing blanket over it and that was it. For the beds I bought my own covers and offered to help them put them in, they said no we can do it. However, they just packed the packing materials instead. It was never ending with this part. Next, for unpacking they scratched just about if not ever piece of furniture we had. They dropped a dresser right in front of my wife and I snapping multiple handles. Not only could they not put the adjustable frame back together the response I got from them was "we have never done this before." At the end, the driver just wanted a signature. He asked about 5 times in an attempt to be done and I would not be able to report any damages. I did purchase insurance more than needed. Then I thought do I even want this company or their 3rd party to touch anymore of our stuff? Absolutely not. So glad I tipped each one a significant amount bought them breakfast and lunch. They also charged the wrong credit card and knew it for that I was give a $100 Amazon card. So bottom line DO NOT USE. THEY ARE TERRIBLE!"

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

Generally, you should hire movers when moving large, heavy objects. Professional movers can take much of the work off your hands and remove the risk of personal injury. But if you’re only moving a few light items, you can save money by making the move on your own and renting a moving truck.

While it's not expected, tipping junk haulers is a kind gesture when the team goes above and beyond for piano disposal. Lugging and breaking down a piano requires specialized equipment, maneuvering, and a lot of strength. When your junk haulers take particularly good care of your home during the process, consider tipping between 10% and 20% of the total bill to split among the team or $10 to $20 per hauler.

Before your piano movers arrive, it’s a good idea to prep the piano for its journey to avoid damage, as well as clear a path to make the move as easy as possible. You can start by using bubble wrap and moving blankets to protect the keys, lids, and pedals. Drape moving blankets over the piano and secure them, if possible, to protect the surface from damage. Next, clear furniture and other obstructions out of the path from the piano to the door. It’s also wise to maintain a close spot for the moving truck to park out front.

This depends on your specific needs and budget. If you’re looking for the most cost-effective way to ship furniture, a self-moving service that provides pods may be your best option. If cost isn’t an issue and you’re more concerned with the security of your items, you may want to hire a white-glove furniture delivery company with ironclad insurance policies to help.

Moving insurance helps protect your belongings from damage or loss during the moving process. This policy can help reimburse you either part of or the total amount of your belongings that become damaged during the moving process. Moving insurance has three main options: full value protection, released value protection, and third-party or separate liability coverage.
