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.

Our Washington to Richmond movers handle the logistics and carefully plan the route. Most moves from Washington, D.C., to Richmond are completed within one day. We are FMCSA-registered, fully insured, and trusted by our customers. High ratings on Google and Yelp confirm our reputation for reliable service.

Professional Movers from Washington to Richmond

Our knowledge of the I-95 corridor helps us plan your move around rush hour traffic and meet your deadlines. Whether we’re navigating narrow apartment entrances in Washington or complying with building requirements in Richmond, we are prepared for anything. Need a Certificate of Insurance (COI) or an elevator reservation? We’ll take care of it. All of our crews are trained, background-checked, and supervised by an experienced foreman with at least three years of long-distance moving experience.

Our movers carefully load, transport, and place your belongings in your new home according to your preferences. If necessary, they can disassemble large furniture for safe transport and reassemble it in your new home. We also offer flexible packing options: you can use your own packing materials, or we can provide ours. Fragile items, such as dishes, glassware, and electronics, are securely packed. Our trucks are fully equipped to ensure your belongings remain protected throughout the move. Short-term and long-term storage in secure warehouses with flexible access is also available.

Transparent Pricing

The cost is fixed before the move begins — stairs, traffic delays, or minor detours will not affect the price. Additional fees apply only to particularly large or specialty items (such as pianos or oversized appliances). A deposit is required to reserve your date, and it is fully refundable if canceled at least two weeks in advance. Money-saving options are also available, such as furniture-only moves or shared truck services.

Moving to Richmond

Richmond combines history, culture, and opportunities for growth. The city is home to attractions such as the Virginia State Capitol and the James River Park System and features a thriving food scene ranging from Southern cuisine to farm-to-table restaurants. Compared to Washington, D.C., the cost of living is lower, traffic is lighter, and housing is more affordable in areas such as Short Pump, Bon Air, and Glen Allen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Moving to Richmond 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. 

For a local move, it is usually from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. An intercity move can cost from $2,000 to $7,000 or more. It is worth including not only the cost of the moving company in your budget, but also a deposit for housing, packing materials, and unexpected expenses. 

Most often, the biggest expenses are related to housing — rent and deposits. When it comes to long-distance moves, the main expense is transportation, especially for long distances or when ordering full service with packing. 

The kitchen is usually considered the most difficult room. It contains many small items, dishes, and fragile items that require careful packing and take more time.
