Apartment & Condo Movers in DC

In DC the hard apartment jobs are the buildings without elevators, not the big units. A Columbia Heights walk-up stacks four units up a steep, narrow stair; a Shaw English basement adds a stoop and a half-flight. Towers in Navy Yard, NoMa, and the Wharf flip it: a freight elevator to reserve, a dock window, and a manager wanting a certificate of insurance before the truck passes the gate. Our crews handle both kinds daily, often in these exact buildings.

Walk-up planning starts with the staircase. Before the date the lead measures rise, landings, and turn against your biggest pieces, picks what to disassemble, and sets the crew: four or more for a third-floor unit with a sofa and fridge. Pieces go up padded and shrink-wrapped, one step at a time, with the banister and casings covered. Towers are the reverse: COI to the office early, freight elevator and dock slot booked, load through the service entrance.

Price follows home size: studio $450 to $720, one-bedroom $720 to $1,200, two-bedroom $1,200 to $2,050, with access spelled out upfront. Or go hourly at $145/hr for two movers, $185/hr for three. On a DC walk-up block we post the No-Parking sign so the truck sits at the door, and the small permit fee is in the quote.
