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.

Moving from Washington DC to New York? WellKnown Moving Company can help you get there.

If you are planning to move from Washington, DC to New York, WellKnown Moving Company is ready to help. We operate in both Washington and New York, so we can handle your interstate move—from packing your belongings to delivering them to your new address. We provide a flat-rate estimate in advance with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what your budget will be.

Our specialists carefully pack, load, and transport your furniture and appliances, while our experienced movers ensure the safety of your belongings at every stage. Thanks to efficient logistics and carefully planned routes, most DC-New York moves take only one to two days. Customer reviews confirm the quality of our work, and our status as an FMCSA-registered moving company (U.S. DOT#: 4270220) allows us to handle long-distance moves of any size. You can also check out reviews on Google and Yelp.

Experienced DC to New York Movers

Our teams regularly handle DC to NYC interstate moves, so they are familiar with the main routes, including I-95 and I-295. This allows us to plan routes that reduce travel time and help avoid traffic. We are also familiar with the requirements of buildings in Washington, DC, and the rules of New York residential buildings — including obtaining truck parking permits, Certificate of Insurance (COI), and other necessary documents. We handle moves not only to New York City, but also to New Jersey, the suburbs, and neighboring regions, providing convenient delivery throughout the metropolitan area.

Professional and Trained Movers

Each move is supervised by an experienced foreman with at least three years of long-distance moving experience. Our DC to NYC moving teams are trained and use professional equipment to safely transport furniture, appliances, fragile and bulky items. Our modern trucks are equipped with straps, protective blankets, and specialized fasteners, which ensure reliable protection of your property throughout the entire transportation process.

Customized Moving Services

Before the move, we will contact you to discuss the details: the amount of your belongings, the need for packing and disassembling furniture, building access conditions, and possible storage. Based on this information, we assign a crew and bring the appropriate equipment to make the move as comfortable as possible. If necessary, you can order a furniture-only move or a shared truck option to reduce the cost of your move.

Fixed and Transparent Prices

We offer a fixed price for your move with no hidden fees, so minor schedule adjustments or the use of standard additional equipment will not affect the final price. Additional charges may apply when transporting very heavy or non-standard items, such as pianos or large appliances. A deposit is required for booking, which is fully refundable if canceled no later than 14 days before the move date.

Basic insurance is included in every move at no additional cost.

Moving to New York

New York is a major business and cultural center that attracts people with opportunities for work, business, and active city life. It is home to famous landmarks such as Central Park, Times Square, and the Statue of Liberty, while Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Jersey City offer a variety of housing options, from city apartments to quieter suburban neighborhoods.

Despite heavy traffic and limited parking, the city has a well-developed subway, bus, and commuter train system, so most residents can easily get around without a car. Thanks to its diverse neighborhoods, developed infrastructure, and many opportunities, New York remains one of the most popular destinations for moving, working, and living.

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 Washington, DC. 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 New York 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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Moving to New York 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! 

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. 

Yes, in most cases it is enough, but it all depends on the area and lifestyle. This money should cover the first month's rent, deposit, possible broker commission, the move itself, and living expenses for the first 1-3 months. If you rent with roommates or choose an inexpensive area, the amount is usually sufficient. 

To live comfortably, one person usually needs between $85,000 and $120,000 per year. Many landlords require that your annual income be 40 times your monthly rent. For example, for a $2,500 monthly rent, your income should be around $100,000 per year 

The cheapest months are January and February. Demand is lower in winter, so rent and moving services are often cheaper. Summer is the most expensive season to move.
