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 Richmond?

WellKnown Moving Company makes long-distance relocation simple and reliable. With teams based in both cities, we handle every step at a flat rate—no surprise charges. Our movers take care of logistics, traffic planning, and heavy lifting so you don’t have to. We’re FMCSA-certified, fully insured, and trusted by past clients. With top ratings on Google and Yelp, we’ve built a reputation for dependable service. Most moves from DC to Richmond are completed in a single day. Every move includes basic moving insurance at no extra cost, and we’ll explain how homeowners or renters insurance may also cover your relocation.

How We Work

We know the I-95 route and plan around peak traffic for consistent timing. From DC’s narrow apartment entrances to Richmond’s building requirements, we’re ready. Need a Certificate of Insurance (COI) or an elevator reserved? We’ll arrange it. Our crews are trained, background-checked, and led by experienced team leaders. They load, transport, and place your items where you want them—disassembling large furniture for safe transport and reassembling it in your new home. Packing options are flexible: use your materials or ours. Fragile items such as glassware and electronics are wrapped securely. Short- or long-term storage is also available in secure facilities with flexible access.

Pricing Made Simple

Your price is set before the move begins—stairs, traffic, or minor detours won’t change it. Only unusually large items (like pianos or oversized appliances) may require an additional fee. A deposit secures your date, and cancellations made two weeks in advance are fully refundable. Cost-saving choices such as furniture-only moving or a shared truck are also available.

Life in Richmond

Richmond blends history, culture, and opportunity. The city features landmarks like the Virginia State Capitol and the James River Park System, plus a thriving food scene from Southern comfort dishes to farm-to-table dining. Compared to DC, you’ll find lower living costs, lighter traffic, and more affordable housing in neighborhoods 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. 

 Weekdays, especially midweek (Tuesday through Thursday), are usually the most affordable days to book movers. Weekends and the beginning or end of the month tend to cost more because demand is higher. 

Yes, Richmond generally has a lower cost of living than Washington, DC. Housing, groceries, and transportation are more affordable, making Richmond an attractive option for many people moving from the capital. 

It’s best to schedule your move at least four to six weeks in advance. This gives you more options for your preferred date and allows time to plan details like packing, building requirements, and elevator reservations. For busy seasons (summer or end of the month), booking even earlier is recommended.
