What Sets Us Apart
Local Expertise-Raleigh ⇆ DC & Surrounding Areas
We make the I-95 corridor, as well as other major highways such as I-40, a regular route and can plan our trips accordingly to avoid peak traffic. Because we are familiar with Raleigh's suburban streets and DC's very specific permit requirements, we avoid congestion points in advance-be it special parking permits for downtown DC or condo moves that require us to provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI). Our service area covers not only DC, but the entire DMV area: whether you're moving from Raleigh, NC to DC or to Northern Virginia or Maryland, our moving company is at your service.
Professional Movers
Every move is managed by an moving crew led by a "frontman" who has performed at least three years of long-distance moves. Other crew members are newer, background-checked employees with intensive training in safe handling techniques-from disassembling furniture to wrapping fragile electronics. Finally, the moving trucks are fully equipped with specialty gear for bulky or high-value items, from a grand piano down to an antique sideboard-with us, you can guarantee it will receive the best protection possible.
Customizable Service
We do this through a pre-move consultation that will review your inventory, timeline, and any special requests, such as overnight storage, packing services or extra-fragile goods. Once we determine the optimal crew size and whether special materials are necessary, we can schedule your move to best accommodate your schedule. In this way, all details are worked out well in advance, so you know what to expect on moving day.
We're willing to work with specific requirements: do you need multiple stops, only need furniture movers, or are you willing to split the move with someone to reduce the cost? It's not a problem!
Flat-Rate, Transparent Pricing
Our long-distance moves feature one set price alone, meaning additional flights of stairs or an otherwise longer walk from the truck to the front door does not increase the rate. The only instances in which we charge more are when highly specialized or very heavy items, like pianos, are involved. We require a fully refundable deposit to book your slot-provided you cancel at least two weeks before your move date, that deposit will be returned to you. Learn more about pricing.
Moving Tip: Before your move, research DC's parking or loading dock regulations. Getting the right permit (moving truck parking permit in DC) in advance can save you headaches-and fines-once you're in the city.
About Washington, DC
The nation's capital, Washington, D.C. boasts the White House, the Capitol Building, and a whole host of Smithsonian museums. The local economy is driven by federal government agencies, a plethora of lobbying groups, and one of the region's fasting-growing tech sectors. These various neighborhoods-Dupont Circle, Georgetown, and Capitol Hill-are each known for their different characters and restaurant scenes. Suburbs of Northern Virginia-such as Arlington and Alexandria-and Maryland suburbs-maybe Bethesda and Silver Spring-offer a little more housing alternatives and commuter-friendly access to DC via highways or public transit.
Still, living here can have its downsides. Congested traffic—especially on the Capital Beltway (I-495)—and high housing costs are part of day-to-day life in the metro area. In contrast, Raleigh offers a lower cost of living, a hot Research Triangle job market, and a more relaxed atmosphere. If you like something in between, then DC's surrounding suburbs let you enjoy a bit more space and a quieter environment, all within an easy commute of the city center.
