Residential & House Movers in DC

Whole-house moves across the DMV, hauled and rebuilt by our own crew at a flat price set first

A whole house is not a bigger one-bedroom. A DMV single-family home usually adds stairs, a basement, an attic, and a garage full of things nobody sorted until move week. One family trades a Capitol Hill rowhouse for a Bethesda colonial; a couple sells in Arlington and buys bigger in Fairfax; a household leaves a Silver Spring split-level for a Navy Yard condo. Marcus and the crew handle a full house with a plan, not just extra bodies.

The sectional, armoire, king bed, washer, and dryer are padded, disassembled as needed, and rebuilt at the new address. The crew clears the basement and attic, wraps the dining set and mirrors, and loads the garage last so the tools come off first. Flat by home size, access included, set before the date: two-bedroom $1,200 to $2,050, three-bedroom $2,050 to $3,400, four-bedroom $3,350 to $5,300. Hourly with a bigger crew: $185/hr for three movers, $245/hr for four.

A Capitol Hill rowhouse means a narrow stoop, no driveway, and a one-way street needing a No-Parking sign, filed in advance. A king mattress will not round a Bethesda colonial’s back staircase, so it goes out the front. An Arlington split-level’s basement walkout splits the carry into two routes. We walk both ends first, park where the haul is shortest, pad doorframes and railings, and send four or more movers when a full house has stairs at both ends.

“Our Capitol Hill rowhouse has zero driveway and a stoop that fights you the whole way down. Reggie's crew posted the No-Parking sign two days ahead so the truck actually had the curb, and they hand-walked the couch through the front door without a scuff. Knocked a star only because they showed up about 40 minutes past the window, but they called ahead and made up the time. Fair flat price, no games.”

“Moved a 2-bed condo into a Navy Yard high-rise and was dreading the COI and freight elevator nonsense. Yolanda had the certificate to the building manager before I even asked, and the crew reserved the elevator pads so we weren't fighting other residents. Honestly the smoothest move I've done in this city.”

“Federal relocation, and the timeline was a mess on my end, not theirs. Payne Free worked around two date changes without charging me extra and the written quote held exactly. Reggie's team had me out of Dupont and squared away by early afternoon.”

Service FAQ

Will you move the entire house, appliances included?

All of it: sectional, armoire, king bed, washer, dryer, and fridge, dismantled where needed and rebuilt at the new place, plus the basement, attic, and garage. A full house gets a plan and the right crew size.

How do you charge for a house move?

Flat by home size, or hourly if you prefer. Two-bedroom $1,200 to $2,050, three-bedroom $2,050 to $3,400, four-bedroom $3,350 to $5,300, access included. Hourly: $185 with three movers, $245 with four.

My king mattress won't make the back stairs. Now what?

It happens. If the back stairs are too tight, the piece goes out the front, and a king mattress rides in a board or bag to stay clean. We check both staircases first so nothing jams halfway.

Can you manage a rowhouse with no driveway?

Routine here. A Temporary No-Parking sign holds the curb so the truck never double-parks, we walk the one-way street first, and the crew stages for the shortest carry. Capitol Hill and Shaw rowhouses are much of our work.

Do you put the beds and furniture back together?

Yes. Bed frames, table legs, the sectional: whatever we take apart goes back together in the room you choose, and cartons go to the rooms you marked, so no midnight furniture assembly.
