FAQ
Questions people ask before choosing
Do you cover Northern Virginia?
Yes, Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, McLean, Vienna and nearby. Parking, permits and building rules in Arlington high-rises are planned into the flat price.
Can you store my things between closings?
We move to and from storage facilities and can bill a monthly storage plan automatically. For long-term warehouse vaulting, a mover with its own warehouse may fit better.
Do you pack, too?
Full or partial packing is available and priced into the flat rate, so packing hours don't inflate the bill on move day.
