Arlington neighborhoods we serve
We move high-rise apartments and Cape Cod homes across Arlington and surrounding areas. If your block isn't listed, just text us — odds are we cover it.
Arlington runs on buildings. Rosslyn, Ballston, Clarendon and Pentagon City are mostly towers with garage-height limits, dock schedules and insurance paperwork, while the neighborhoods south and west are single-family homes with real driveways. The plan that works in one fails in the other, so we scope the building before we scope the furniture.
Arlington parking, docks and garage clearance
Arlington County issues temporary parking restrictions for moving trucks on public streets, and most corridor high-rises require a booked loading dock instead. Garage clearance is the detail people forget. Plenty of Arlington garages won't take a full-size box truck, which changes the truck we bring.
- Temporary no-parking reservations on Arlington County streets when there's no dock
- Loading dock booking in Rosslyn, Ballston, Clarendon and Pentagon City
- Garage height clearance checked in advance so the right truck shows up
- Street and driveway access in Lyon Park, Aurora Highlands and Arlington Ridge
Arlington high-rises and homes
Corridor buildings want a certificate of insurance, a reserved elevator and a move finished inside the window they gave you. Outside the corridors it's bungalows, colonials and townhomes with basements, decks and back stairs.
- High-rise apartments and condos with COI, dock and elevator requirements
- Townhomes with interior stairs on three levels and tight top-floor landings
- Single-family homes with basement and attic loads that get staged first
- Cross-river moves into DC where the DC permit gets handled on the other end
What sets the flat price in Arlington
In Arlington the building rules drive the price more than the mileage does. A booked dock and a long elevator window make a move cheaper. A short window and a garage the truck can't enter make it more work, and we'd rather tell you that in the quote than on the invoice.
- Elevator window length and dock availability at your building
- Whether a box truck can enter the garage, or we shuttle from the street
- Number of levels in a townhome and the landings on each flight
- A second jurisdiction on the other end — a DC permit, for example
Arlington moving questions
Do Arlington buildings need a certificate of insurance?
Most corridor high-rises do. Send us your building's requirements and management contact and we'll get the COI to them before your move date.
What if the truck can't fit in my building's garage?
We check clearance when we scope the move and bring a truck that fits, or plan a shuttle from the street. Either way it's decided before move day and included in the flat price.
Can you move from Arlington into DC?
Yes, and we handle both ends: the Arlington building's dock and elevator, and the DDOT no-parking permit on the DC side.

What it costs.

Our promise
Four promises we put money behind.
These are the things we owe you on every job, and what happens if we miss.

Your flat quote is written down before we lift a box. If we misjudge the job, we eat the difference instead of renegotiating with you in a hallway.
On time, or $50 comes off your bill
We arrive inside your window ready to work. If we're more than 30 minutes late and haven't called you first, $50 comes off the total. You don't have to ask.
