Washington, D.C. Mover Reviews
Great job, very quick and professional
Packed very nicely and gave us lots of extra room
The team arrived within the scheduled time and moved all of the items in an efficient manner.
Super job! Cannot say enough about Ed and Pierre. Thoughtful. Efficient. Expert packers. Used every available square foot in our PODs. Very considerate. Best moving labor we’ve ever had and we’ve moved a lot over the past 20 years. SIX STARS!!!
Both members of your team were excellent and great to meet. I recommend them.
Amazing job! Never thought we would get all our stuff in the POD! The team was amazing! Thank you all!
Tavon and his friend were extremely helpful loading the large items I needed out of my condo in Arlington. They were fast and thoughtful about how items should be put in the truck. Awesome, just awesome. Would recommend. Very friendly as well.
The movers were friendly and did their job.
Fast and efficient! Best movers I’ve ever seen!
Unfortunately my crew was about 3 hours late due to the truck having mechanical issues. However, once they arrived they were all hard working, pleasant, and respectful of my things. They even brought some moving supplies to help with wrapping and taped up some open boxes. I would definitely recommend David, Henry, and Gilmer for your next move! Thanks guys for loading up the 16ft Pack-Rat so efficiently, as it only took them a little over 2 hours and I had projected it would take longer (3 guys, 3 hours).
Great workers! Very professional and efficient! Thanks for a great job.
Guys unloaded extremely fast and safely. Would recommend for my moves in the future!!
They were fast, on time, prepared ahead of time, communicated ahead of time, packed everything very, very well. They asked where everything went before moving it and even helped remind me where it came from or what in the world was behind all that tape. Reasonably priced and very friendly. Highly, highly recommend Casper!! I'll use them if I move again.
Absolute beast mode!!! They came out, absolutely rocked it, did what took other movers like 4 hours in less than 2, and they’re super chill. Hire them. Now. Trust me. Just two solid dudes who kick ass 100% of the time
These guys are very professional and they go out of their way to get the job finish correctly
First let me say that Kendall and his partner were absolutely life savers and came prepared to work efficiently and professionally. After being scammed by the local Home Depot laborers, I found Prestige Laborers and I am glad I did. They were prompt in their communication, took great care with my items and made my moving process extremely efficient. I will forever utlize them for my moving needs and I would encourage anyone else to do the same!
Absolutely amazing! Timely and quick! They were extremely thorough, kind, and polite. They went above and beyond and were very professional. Would and will hire them again!
Staff was one time, efficient, fast and friendly! We would definitely use them again!
The movers arrive on time and immediately started to unload 2 UBoxes into the moving truck. They very carefully packed the furniture with blankets and tape. The 2 movers completed the job on time and within budget. I highly recommend Royal Movers for your next moving job. I would use them again. Great job well done.
Wonderful crew On time and polite. Careful with stuff
They did a great job and were very pleasant to work with.
Our movers did a wonderful job and took great care with everything; even though some of our packing was less than perfect nothing got damaged or broken. They were extremely pleasant and efficient, even after we all realized the job was bigger than expected. I highly recommend Red Zone Logistics and will use them in the future.
Focus Movers were terrific! They were hard workers and moved everything with great care. They were mindful of corners as they went up and down the stairs carrying bulky furniture, and wrapped everything well. NO DAMAGE. I definitely recommend them!
Great job. Professional and polite. Moved everything as requested and more.
Communication was great. They were always incredibly responsive and arrived within the window they provided. They wrapped my couch in plastic that they provided, wrapped my dresser and credenza in blankets they provided, and detached and reattached legs on my couch when needed with tools they provided. They went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly, and I don’t know what I would’ve done without them! Amazing experience, definitely recommend!!
Julien and Steve did a great job, quickly moving large bedroom furniture upstairs and unloading the remaining heavy items from the moving truck. On time, friendly, and professional. I would use and recommend them in the future.
The Payday Enterprises team did a great job. They were timely, communicated their ETA, and handled our belongings with care. They worked hard without complaining; we had an added layer of complication of it being a dump job and a move, but they handled it like champs. I would certainly use them again.
Really great team! We faced a challenging problem of getting a heavy and over-sized couch and other bulky items up an emergency staircase due to absence of a freight elevator in our condo….the guys were resourceful and good natured. They solved the required geometry problems in their heads on the fly, and had fun doing it. They arrived on time, finished the work quickly and efficiently, and get an overall rating of ‘Super Stars!’ from us! It was a pleasure working with them!
Great Team. Great attitude. Hard working.
They were very professional, personable and helpful! Great to have them, especially after a long drive from Massachusetts! Would certainly recommend them.
They were super nice and professional. It was so hot that day, and they worked so hard!
Super great workers and fast will use again
Both guys that helped me move were very polite and extremely helpful. They got the job done quick and easy even with a few hiccups they were still professional and courteous. Would definitely book again!!
My move was a very straightforward and simple job - getting stuff out of a 5’ by 5’ storage (the smallest type of storage they have at Public Storage) to my new apartment which was not too far away. There were no stairs involved, just the elevator at my apartment which I had reserved earlier, so it was a smooth operation. So keeping that in mind: The movers were on time and great at communication. They were ready to jump into the job as soon as they arrived. Everything was done in an efficient manner, and all of my stuff was undamaged in the process. I would definitely call them again and would recommend them to anyone in a similar situation.
Very courteous and professional! Stayed late to get the job done, and that's after we called for a same-day job. I highly recommend them!
Great, fast service. Lamont is extremely nice and professional as was the guy with him. I have already planned to book them again for unloading my POD. I Would recommend this company to all.
We were very happy once they got here. They worked so hard and was very respectful and helped a lot. They knew what they were doing.
Did a very good job showed up a little late but called me and said they were running 30 minutes late. Professional team that cared about our furniture..
Musa and his team did a wonderful job. Even though I was almost late to meeting my arrival window, they made the best of their time and got all my stuff unpacked in a very efficient and thorough manner. The crew was respectful and very easy to coordinate with. I will be booking directly with them next time.
Fast, excellent! I highly recommend Reid and Jay!
These guys showed up on time and worked very hard the entire time they were on the job. Would definitely use them again.

Major Neighborhoods in Washington, D.C.
Washington D.C., the capital of the United States, undoubtedly offers iconic national landmarks like the Smithsonian museums and the National Mall. But it's also home to places like Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, a historical park dedicated to aquatic plants, and newer areas like The Warf, where you can catch a live comedy or music show after a great bite to eat. If you're thinking of becoming a local, look at some of the great neighborhoods in Washington, D.C. Whether you want to live right next to the famous sightseeing spots, or somewhere you can explore the city beyond, there's a place for you.
Georgetown
Georgetown is Washington D.C.’s oldest neighborhood and a favorite for tourists and locals alike. The renowned Georgetown University campus resides here, and so does the last pre-colonial building in the city, the Old Stone House. You can also take one of the neighborhood's famous cupcake tours. And a walk along the nearby Potomac River is a great idea if you need to burn some calories once you're done. You don't have to sweat your move, though — hire local professional movers to get you to your new home stress-free.
Dupont Circle
Dupont Circle is a neighborhood in the city's northwest section, often described as historic and cosmopolitan because of Embassy Row lining one of its main thoroughfares. The nation's first museum of modern art, The Phillip's Collection, also calls this area home. And if you're planning on doing the same, know you'll have to get used to navigating the roundabout centered on Dupont Circle Fountain. Thankfully, local movers absolutely know how to drive through it with ease, so have them get your things to your new place instead.
Capitol Hill
Capitol Hill is a popular places to live, and is where some of the most powerful people in the nation call home. It's full of rowhouses dating back to the 19th century, characterized by turrets, stained glass, and ironwork. There are also plenty of good bites and window shopping to be had at commercial areas like Eastern Market or Barrack's Row. If you've decided to settle here where you rub elbows with legistators, hiring local movers will help get you to your new dream home quickly and easily.
U Street Corridor/Shaw
The U Street Corridor/Shaw neighborhood is historically an entertainment district, especially for jazz music. Not much has changed in modern times — it's still a central hub for music, bars, and restaurants. When you want to catch a show, you can pick between the landmark Lincoln Theatre and Howard Theatre. And while the food in Little Ethiopia is obviously fantastic, don't miss out on the great coffee scene in the area, either. Moving to U Street Corridor/Shaw? Get local professional movers in advance, and they'll handle all the logistics for you.

The company had excellent communication from the start and accommodated my last-minute booking. The movers were courteous, professional, and efficient. They arrived before the start time and finished the job earlier than the promised end time. 10/10 highly recommended.
The movers who came to our house were on time, professional, knowledgeable, careful with our furniture, efficient and communicative. We had a very positive experience with them and we’d hire them again! Thanks so much!
You can’t always count on friends or family moving availability. You can however count on Vicky Lou’s! The two moving specialists timely loaded and took special care of glass cabinets. Everything strategically packed for transportation. The guys never stopped from arrival to final unload. Working h every penny.
You can never count on family and friends when it comes to moving. 3M moving has you covered and has the dollies to move boxes. Plan ahead with proper boxes including room destination and 3M has your labor needs covered. The gentlemen dispatched confirmed need and were punctual. Contact them through Hire a Helper. Definate 5 star service!
I was worried about having only 2 helpers for 2 hours, seeing as they had to haul my belongings up 3 flights of stairs (for a 2-bedroom apartment). I called and ordered an extra hour just to be safe. Well, these 2 guys had everything unloaded in just over an hour and a half! I still paid the extra hour and a tip. Totally worth it.
I want to thank the team on turning a typically stressful experience to an easy one. The team helped me execute the task and everything was done very professionally and efficiently. Will be recommending them to any friends who are moving anytime soon!
Really fast! On time! Super nice and very professional! I would recommend 100 percent! Thank you guys for such a wonderful service! I really appreciate the help moving! ??would definitely call them again for another move!
Gordon's moving team was very efficient, on-time, professional, and polite while working to move our things from a pod to a top-floor apt. They worked hard from the moment they arrived and finished up earlier than expected. I also appreciated that they did a good job with our things given all of the stairs they had to climb. Thank you!
Guys were very friendly & professional. Introduced themselves & paid attention to understand where we wanted furniture placed. They handled all items carefully & helped to suggest different placement of some items. Well done.
Very professional! Arrived on time! Quick and effective! Thank you for your help today on my move! I really appreciate the support! Will definitely contact if there is ever another move 100 percent!
I can’t recommend these guys enough! They were great. Communicative, friendly, and efficient. This made our move so much easier! If you need a team, these are the guys to call
Wualter was incredible! He was able to move everything from our truck into our house and was just outstanding! I will be using his services for all our future needs!
