Apartment and Condo Movers Across the DMV

Building rules come first

Most DMV apartment buildings require you to reserve the freight elevator or service entrance, and many restrict move-in hours — commonly nine to five on weekdays, sometimes with weekend windows. Some require a certificate of insurance from your movers before they will let a crew in. Ask your property manager three things as soon as you have a date: what hours moves are allowed, whether the elevator must be reserved, and what documentation they require from a moving company. Send us the answers and we will build the plan around them.

Any hour your building allows

We work seven days a week, from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, so you can book a time that fits your job rather than taking a day off for ours. Your building may not allow moves in every one of those hours. If it does not, tell us early — we would rather adjust the plan than have a crew turned away at the loading dock.

The measurements that matter

Before move day, measure the narrowest doorway, the tightest stairwell turn, and the elevator opening if you have one. Then measure your largest piece — usually a sofa, a mattress or a wardrobe. Sectional sofas and sleeper sofas are the most common items that will not make a turn. Knowing in advance means we plan a disassembly or a different route rather than discovering the problem with the item halfway up the stairs.

Who this is for

• Studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartment and condo residents
• Renters moving within the same building or to a nearby building
• Young professionals moving for a new job in DC, Arlington, Alexandria or Bethesda
• Roommates splitting up a group house or moving one room out
• Anyone whose building has a reserved elevator, loading dock or restricted move hours

What is included

• Crew who work to your building’s elevator and dock rules
• Floor and door-frame protection in shared corridors
• Wrapping of upholstered and wooden furniture
• Basic disassembly and reassembly of bed frames
• Placement in the room you choose

What is not included

• Reserving the elevator or booking the loading dock on your behalf
• Certificates of insurance beyond what we can currently document
• Cleaning, trash removal or donation drop-offs unless quoted as an extra stop
• Moves that violate your building’s posted rules or hours

How it works

1. Confirm your building rules

   Move hours, elevator reservation, dock access and documentation. Send us what your property manager tells you.

2. Send your item list and floors

   Floor numbers at both ends, elevator or stairs, and the distance from parking to the entrance change the estimate more than anything else.

3. Approve your written quote

   It will name your arrival window and the elevator window we are working to.

4. Move day

   We protect the route, work the reserved window, and check the unit and corridor with you before we leave.
