Before the move, we will contact you to clarify the volume of your belongings, the need for packing and unpacking, furniture disassembly and assembly, building access conditions, and possible temporary storage options. Based on this information, we select the appropriate team and equipment. For smaller moves, you can also choose partial move or a shared truck option, which helps reduce moving costs.

We offer fixed and transparent pricing for our Boston to Washington, D.C. moving services. Minor schedule changes or the use of standard equipment do not affect the final price.

Honestly great experience Boston to NYC; they were super efficient, careful with our stuff, very flexible, and we didn’t have to lift a finger. Reasonably priced too. Would definitely recommend and use again

Aibek and his team(s) in Boston and New York made this move easier than I ever could’ve imagined. They moved oversized and delicate furniture from two pickup locations to one drop off on a major street in New York and came in below any other quote we had by a good amount. Communicated well in the days leading up to and on the day of the move. Definitely worth it!

They moved my 1 bedroom apt from Boston to Philly at the beginning of July. Very professional and good communication. Did a great job and everything was moved correctly without any loss of items or breakage. No hidden fees. Would highly recommend!

My partner and I moved from Boston to NYC on August 1st and we couldn’t have asked for better service from both sets of movers. They were communicative, assembled our furniture with no fuss, and were efficient. I’d use them again for any interstate or cross country moves! Only thing to be aware of is checking your contracts thoroughly and often. There were a couple times where pricing changed with no notice, but it was quickly rectified by WellKnown staff.

We moved from East Boston to Manhattan NY, and we could not complain at all. They were on time, kind, incredibly careful with our belongings. Easy to book and communicate with and affordable. Would recommend again and again.

Aibek and Higor were amazing! Very efficient and speedy service. Highly recommend

I just moved to Fenway using WellKnown Moving Company and had a fantastic experience! Aibek and Higor were kind, efficient, and handled my things with the utmost care. I would definitely recommend them and will likely use them again the next time that I move!

Aibek and Vlad took fantastic care of me. They went above and beyond, were early and super accommodating with a couch they could only fit through a window!! Would recommend for anyone in the Boston area!!

Great job, fast, aibek and his team were wonderful.

Why Choose Us for Your Move from Boston to Washington, DC

Licensed Interstate Movers

Interstate moves must be performed by companies registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Choosing a licensed mover ensures that your move is conducted in accordance with federal regulations and that your belongings are transported by a legitimate and reputable company. We are registered as an interstate mover (USDOT No. 4270220), which allows us to legally perform long-distance moves between Massachusetts, Washington, DC, and other states.

Fast Move Times from Boston to DC

The distance between Boston and Washington, D.C. is approximately 440 miles, so most professional moves on this route take one to two days. Urgent moves may also be available upon request.

Experienced Long-Distance Moving Specialists

Long-distance moves require more preparation and coordination than local ones. We handle every stage of the preparation and moving process. Each move is supervised by an experienced foreman who ensures that the process runs smoothly and without delays.

Every move is unique, so we tailor our services to your specific needs. Whether you’re moving from an apartment, townhouse, or office in Boston, our team will handle the logistics to ensure safe transport and timely delivery to Washington, D.C., and the surrounding Washington, DC metro area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still stuck? Call the dispatch line — a real person picks up.

Straight answers about cost, timing, and what Washington, D.C. is actually like once the truck is unloaded. No fine print games.

What additional costs does Wellknown have?

Moving to DC with us ensures that your moving plan includes all the essential costs required by the movers. There's no need to worry about separate charges for the truck, tools, furniture assembly or disassembly, or even moving heavy items – it's all covered. We also offer flexibility with additional services: you can supply your own packing materials, or we can provide them. Plus, if you prefer, we can handle packing for specific items only. Visit our pricing page to learn more! 

What do I need to do before calling Wellknown?

Make a list of special items (or just memorize them) that movers need to pay attention to. First of all, these are heavy items (e.g. a piano, a bed, a big dresser). We need to know at least the approximate dimensions and weight. In the second place are fragile and valuable items, antiques, paintings, TV set, etc. This will help us to be better prepared. We also recommend that you clearly define whether you need additional services. If you are not sure yet, we will be happy to advise you. 

What are red flags with movers?

Some warning signs can indicate that a moving company may not be reliable. One of the most common red flags is when a company refuses to provide a written estimate or gives a very low quote that later increases significantly. Another concern is the absence of a valid license for interstate moves, which can be verified through the FMCSA. Lack of a physical business address, unclear contracts, or requests for large cash deposits in advance can also be signs of an untrustworthy mover. Choosing a licensed and insured moving company with verified customer reviews helps reduce these risks. 

Is it rude not to tip movers?

Tipping movers is not required, but it is generally considered a polite way to show appreciation for good service. In the United States, many customers choose to tip movers when the crew works efficiently, handles belongings carefully, and provides a positive moving experience. The amount can vary depending on the size and complexity of the move. While tipping is appreciated, professional movers understand that it is always optional. 

What should you not bring to a new house?

Certain items should not be transported during a move for safety and regulatory reasons. Hazardous materials such as gasoline, propane tanks, paint thinners, fireworks, and other flammable or explosive substances are typically prohibited on moving trucks. Perishable food, plants that may not survive long transport, and important personal documents are also better transported separately. Valuable items like jewelry, cash, and passports are usually recommended to be kept with you during the move to ensure they remain secure.
