"We used Call The Movers on advice of family members who had used them for moves in the past. I've moved throughout the DMV area 3 separate times and I can honestly say that Call The Movers made this the easiest, most efficient, stress-free move I've ever had. Our crew was a MACHINE - they had completed both the move out from our old apartment and the move in to our new home in under 4 hours. We were so pleased at how efficient and FAST this move went. My only regret is not hiring them for packing services as well, which I will absolutely recommend you do to make the move even easier. We are so pleased with our moving experience with Call The Movers that we won't use anyone else. 10/10 experience and would absolutely call them again in a heartbeat; they are well worth the money and the time you save!"

"The men were great: prompt, prepared and efficient.  We had hoped to get the move done in two hours and they made that possible. They wrapped all the furniture in protective plastic wrap and nothing was damaged in the move.  The logistics of the move required dispersing the furniture etc. at two locations.  The first load went to my new residence and they quickly deposited the furniture in the appropriate places with little effort.  The rest went to a storage unit and that went smoothly as well: they contributed intelligently as to how to best stack the boxes and make the best use of the space.  We were especially pleased that the move only took two hours per the initial agreement with the moving company.  We would definitely use them again in the future.

"Utilizing All Service Moving for the move was a very positive experience. They had good communication, answering several questions prior to the move and did a final confirmation just prior to the move date. As for the physical move itself, Jose, Abraham, and Alberto were polite, diligent, and careful moving the many items, and managed to complete the move more quickly than anticipated."

"Movers were extremely professional and made the move a breeze. They handled my items with great care and ensured that things were put in places I wanted. Great value and well worth not having to go through a stressful move myself. Would highly recommend Nation Capital Moving!"

"This was a challenging move because the timetable was fluid, the starting hospital was doing substantial renovations including around the loading dock, there are numerous security barriers, the contents were transported from one to two offices and the property being moved was atypical. GJ Moving just smiled, packed it all up and moved the stuff. They were ahead of schedule and under budget at the end."

"I was referred to this business by a co-worker who has used Eastwind for multiple moves. Mark the owner handled all of the scheduling and worked both of our moves. For the first move (apartment to storage) we booked a three man team and four showed up - the owner explained that they wanted to finish quickly due to the bad weather (cold and snowing) and having a job in a more rural location in the afternoon. We were ok with this reasoning but I would have appreciated a heads-up before the 4th person arrived. They worked quickly, often carrying 2 boxes at a time. For the second move (storage to townhouse) scheduling was a bit of a challenge on our end due to poor communication from our builder. Mark was very understanding and helpful even though we had to reschedule our original appointment (late Friday afternoon) on short notice due to closing being cancelled. The move itself went smoothly. Through both of the moves Mark and his team were polite and respectful of our belongings. They worked with a sense of urgency that is often missing from hourly work. I have already referred them to my local relatives and I would use them again without hesitation.

Moving questions, answered by experts

Moving pods are most often available in three sizes: 8, 12, and 16 feet. To move a four-bedroom house, you’ll likely need two 16-foot moving pods. Of course, the exact answer depends more on your house’s square footage and the amount of belongings you have than on the number of bedrooms in the house. For example, moving a small four-bedroom house may only require one 16-foot pod and one 8-foot pod, but moving a large four-bedroom house may require more than two 16-foot pods.

According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, mobile homes built before 1976 do not meet the current safety standards and shouldn’t be moved even a short distance.

Tipping movers is not mandatory, and most professional companies do not expect it. However, it is a common way to show appreciation for their hard work and the care they take with your belongings and home. A standard tip is between 10% and 20% of your total bill, split among the crew, or about $10 per mover per hour, tipped individually. It's an especially good idea to tip if the movers work in difficult weather, handle specialty items like pianos or pool tables, provide extra packing services, or go above and beyond your expectations.

It’s vital to transport a gun safe upright. This type of safe is designed to remain upright, and laying it on its back or sides can potentially damage the safe. That’s why it’s essential to ensure you have a moving truck or trailer that can withstand the weight and is high enough to transport it safely.

Shipping a moving container costs around $3,000 on average, with a typical range of $2,000 to $5,000. For international moves, the price can be as high as $7,000. Costs fluctuate based on factors such as the container's size, weight, travel distance, demand, and fuel prices. To ensure you get the best deal, it is recommended to get quotes from at least three different companies.
