I cannot recommend WellKnown enough. The team arrived EARLY, packed quickly, and graciously moved all of my things into my new 5th floor walkup without a single complaint.

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.

This means that the price we quote you won't change even if the job takes longer or shorter. Learn More About our Pricing

Plan and Customize Your Move

We develop a customized long-distance moving plan and determine the timing of the move. At this stage you need to decide whether you are doing the packing yourself or using our professional packing service. If you need additional services or special pricing, we'll find out during the call.

Loading and Transportation

On the appointed day and time, we arrive at the location in Raleigh. If a packing service has been arranged, we carry out the packing on the same day or a day or several days in advance of the move. We load all the things into the truck, wrapping and disassembling the furniture beforehand. The presence of the customer during this process is highly desirable.

Arrange On-Time Delivery & Unpacking

Then we move straight to the final location in Washington DC or make a stop at the storage, if this service has been purchased. We carefully unload all your belongings, leave them in the pre-agreed locations and collect the furniture. If arranged, we help unpack all items.

Post-Move Support

Afterward, we are available to provide counseling and help with any questions you may have after the move. If you find your belongings missing or damaged, please contact us as soon as possible. We will solve everything!

Remember: Wellknown moving company does long-distance moves at a flat rate, with no surprises for you. The price is final and will not change.

Using PODS is generally cheaper for long-distance moves like Raleigh to DC, but it depends on factors like storage time and labor. A moving company costs more but includes labor, truck, fuel, and insurance. If you’re on a budget and can handle loading/unloading, PODS may be the better option. If you want fast move, pros or/and full service, go with a moving company.

The middle of the week were your most favorable moving day, as most people move on the weekend. We also advise you to book your move at least a week in advance.

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.

Moving to DC from Raleigh 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.
