The Cost of Moving Services in Gainesville, VA

Beyond factors like home size, heavy items, and stairs, the biggest cost difference comes down to your moving service type.

Jamar and Sunny Boy were wonderful! I was only in town for a day to move a whole town home into a 8 foot pod (I did donate a lot to Salvation Army as well). When they arrived I was discouraged about getting everything inside the pod, but THEY GOT IT DONE. I’m grateful for them.

Ro and Lew arrived on time and got right to work. They were polite, efficient and were very skillful at figuring out a problem with a piece of furniture that didn't seem to fit through a door to the basement. They did figure it out and saved our within -the -house move. We would definitely recommend them and DMV discount movers.

Our scheduled move forecasted rain all day and it did. That didn’t stop the two men that assisted us with our move. They were on time never complained and worked very hard until we were done. They made our move so much easier. I would definitely recommend DMV moving and cleaning to anyone that needs moving assistance.

Wualter was my helper and he did a great job. He was very patient with me, as my things were not there when he first arrived and the loading dock area was in use by someone else. Once my things came Wualter was quick and even put my bed together! I would use them again.

I had a great experience with DMV Discount Moving & Cleaning. The crew showed up right on time, came ready to go, and got straight to work. It was really nice to see a father-son team—there was a great dynamic between them, and you could tell they take pride in their work. They were super careful with my stuff and really respectful of the space. I’d definitely hire them again!
