Local Expertise that Matters in Arlington
Our in-depth knowledge—from dense neighborhoods like Rosslyn and Clarendon to residential streets and mixed-use developments throughout the county—allows us to plan moves to avoid delays. Arlington has parking issues, and curb access often requires prior approval from the Arlington County Government, especially if a spot needs to be reserved for a moving truck. If needed, we can reserve elevators, coordinate loading zones, and provide a Certificate of Inspection (COI), which is often required in residential and office buildings. We operate within established time windows and access rules to avoid delays and additional costs. If necessary, we perform moves in the evenings and on weekends—this is especially important for buildings with strict regulations.
Transparent Moving Rates
For local moves, we charge an hourly rate starting at $120—with no hidden fees. we don’t charge extra for stairs, long hallways, or the furniture disassembly/assembly, or basic protection. Additional charges may apply only for very heavy or non-standard items, such as a piano.
The minimum booking is 3 hours. A small amount of travel time is also added, which we will notify you of in advance. Basic Liability Coverage is already included in the price. We can provide a Certificate of Insurance if needed.
If you’re moving a small number of items (e.g., a studio or one-bedroom apartment), simply let us know about any large or unusual items. For larger moves, you can use the online estimate (Virtual Estimate) instead of having a specialist visit.
After booking, you’ll get access to your personal account, where you can track the status of your move, manage details, and create a list of items. The more detailed the list, the more accurate the final cost will be.
💡 A deposit is required to book. It’s fully refundable if you cancel the move at least 2 weeks before the date.
