A whole-house move plays by different rules than a one-bedroom shuffle. There is simply more of everything, the rooms pile up, and a single-family home in the DMV almost always means a flight of stairs, a basement, an attic, and a garage stuffed with what nobody dealt with until the week of the move. A family outgrows its Capitol Hill rowhouse and steps up to a Bethesda colonial. A couple sells in Arlington and buys larger out in Fairfax. A household leaves a Silver Spring split-level for a Navy Yard condo and has to reckon with what fits and what does not. Marcus and the crew treat a full house the way they treat any job, with a plan rather than just more bodies thrown at it.
This work runs the whole home, not the easy half. We pad and haul the heavy pieces, the sectional, the armoire, the king bed, the washer and dryer, take apart whatever has to come apart, and reassemble it at the new address. The crew empties the basement and the attic, wraps the dining set and the mirrors, and loads the garage last so it is first off the truck if you want the tools out that night. The figure is flat and scales to the home: $1,200 to $2,050 for a two-bedroom, $2,050 to $3,400 for a three-bedroom, $3,350 to $5,300 for a four-bedroom, named ahead of the date with access weighed in. Prefer to run it by the hour with a fuller crew? That is $185/hr for three movers and $245/hr for four.
No two DMV homes pose the same puzzle. A Capitol Hill rowhouse hands you a narrow stoop, no driveway, and a one-way street that needs a posted No-Parking sign, which we file for ahead of time. A Bethesda colonial has a back staircase a king mattress will never round, so that piece travels out the front. An Arlington split-level has a basement walkout that splits the carry into two routes at once. We tour both ends in advance, park the truck where the haul is shortest, cushion the doorframes and railings, and field only the hands the home asks for, four or more for a full house with stairs on both ends.
