Ismail is the best Ismail is the best, everything went perfectly.
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.

VERIFIEDreal review
Moving from Washington, DC to Dallas? We are a licensed and insured mover with extensive experience managing long-distance relocations between DC and Texas. Our team takes care of packing, transport, and delivery for one flat rate with no hidden costs.
We’ve completed many moves along this route and know how to organize the trip efficiently, deal with traffic, and keep everything on schedule. Most moves take about two to three days, depending on distance, weather, and load size.
Experienced Movers for DC to Dallas Moves
Our movers regularly travel the I-81 and I-20 highways that connect DC to Dallas. We know the route, the driving conditions, and the best ways to handle long-distance deliveries. Whether your new home is in Downtown Dallas, Uptown, or surrounding cities like Plano, Irving, or Arlington, we’ll deliver your belongings safely and on time.
As a DC-based company, we’re familiar with local details like parking rules, permits, and building access. Once in Dallas, we assist with unloading in busy neighborhoods such as the Arts District and apartment complexes that require specific entry arrangements.
Skilled and Experienced Moving Crews
Each relocation is led by a crew leader with several years of long-distance moving experience. All team members are trained, background-checked, and equipped with the right tools to handle furniture, appliances, and delicate items. Our trucks include protective blankets, straps, and ramps to keep everything secure during the 1,300-mile drive.
Flexible Moving Options
We provide a range of moving options so you can decide how much help you need. You can choose full-service moving with packing, unpacking, and storage, or select partial assistance for specific parts of the job. Our crew can disassemble and reassemble furniture, transport items to or from storage, or arrange a shared truck to help reduce costs. Before moving day, we’ll review your items, packing requests, and any special instructions to make sure your move fits your timeline and budget.
Flat-Rate Pricing
Our pricing is simple and clear. A few stairs, small delays, or an extra stop won’t change the total cost. Only oversized or very heavy pieces, such as pianos or safes, may involve an additional charge. Basic insurance coverage is included with every move at no extra cost.
To secure your date, we ask for a small deposit. If you cancel two weeks before your move, the deposit will be refunded.
💡Moving Tip: Contact your new Dallas building before move-in day to confirm parking and elevator availability—it can help speed up the unloading process.
What to Expect in Dallas
Dallas is one of the largest cities in Texas with strong job opportunities in business, healthcare, and technology. Areas like Uptown, Deep Ellum, and Bishop Arts offer active city living, while suburbs such as Plano, Frisco, and McKinney provide more space and highly rated schools.
The city has a wide selection of restaurants, entertainment, and sunny weather for most of the year. Many DC residents appreciate that housing and daily expenses in Dallas are generally more affordable than in the capital.

The moving company was amazing The moving company was so professional. I was always in communication with them. The movers that came to my house to move my daughter working incredible. They were professional respectful on time and I will be recommending your moving company based on these three movers that came today and my experience to anyone that is moving. I've already recommended you to one of my friends and they are using you. Thank you so much for making the move today so easy.
Ismail and his team were OUTSTANDING Ismail and his team were OUTSTANDING! They were extremely friendly, professional, and quick - making my move as seamless as it could have been. They showed up on time, came prepared to move, made sure everything was wrapped thoroughly, and that even fragile pieces made it through without a scratch. I have recommended them to all of my friends and family to move and WILL be using them for any and all future moves. They are doing things right!!
Best move ever Y’all I moved out from an 1 bedroom to a studio and could not have wished for an easier move. I had everything ready to be packed in and the movers took care of everything. EVERYTHING with so much care and attention. I would recommend the company 10/10.
Ishmael and his team were… Ishmael and his team were conscientious, responsive and careful. Despite an initial obstacle they worked hard to accommodate our need for an expedient overnight move.
Seamless DC to Boston Move Ismail and his team were amazing for our move from DC to Boston! They coordinated a two stop pick up, one stop drop off and loaded everything super efficiently. On drop off the couch unexpectedly didn’t fit in the elevator, they brought it up six flights of stairs and worked their magic to make it fit. Great communication and highly reliable! Would definitely use WellKnown again.
Vlad and Archie were fantastic movers Vlad and Archie were fantastic movers. super quick! Thanks!!
Great experience with Ismail Great experience with Ismail, Islam and Azi. They showed up on time and carefully packed all of our furniture, loading their truck and quickly unloading at our new place up three flights of stairs. They came in under budget and above expectations.
Ismail and Farhad were fantastic! Ismail and Farhad were fantastic!! Careful, quick, and professional from start to finish. They made our move from VA to NC as smooth as possible. Highly recommend using this crew!

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about cost, timing, and what Dallas is actually like once the truck is unloaded. No fine print games.
What additional costs does Wellknown have?
Moving to Dallas 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 is a reasonable moving budget?
A reasonable moving budget depends on distance, home size, and the services you choose. For a long-distance move like Washington, DC to Dallas, most customers spend between $2,500 and $6,000. This includes labor, fuel, and packing materials. If you add full-service packing, storage, or special handling for large items, the cost can be higher. The best way to plan is to request a free quote so you know exactly what’s included—no surprises.
What is the hardest room to pack when moving?
The kitchen is usually the hardest room to pack. It has many fragile, oddly shaped, and heavy items—like dishes, glassware, appliances, and pantry goods. Packing takes time because everything needs to be sorted, wrapped, and boxed carefully. To make it easier, start with items you use less often and leave daily essentials for last.
What are the 5 biggest packing mistakes to avoid?
- Waiting until the last minute. Rushed packing leads to broken or misplaced items.
- Using weak or mismatched boxes. Cheap boxes collapse easily under weight.
- Skipping labels. Unlabeled boxes make unpacking much slower.
- Overpacking boxes. Heavy boxes are harder to lift and can damage contents.
- Forgetting essentials. Keep a “first day” box with clothes, chargers, and toiletries so you don’t have to unpack everything at once.
