Moving Upwards and Onwards

Let's be honest: moving is a colossal pain and no matter how excited you are to get to your new home, it doesn't change the fact that trying to move on your own is nearly impossible. This is how I felt a few months back, when I packed up my stuff to move from one from coast to the other. I thought about doing it on my own (with the help of my friends and family), but it was too much of a burden on other people and at the end of the day I just had too much stuff to really make that work. I was happy to find a moving company in Alexandria VA. Not only did they help me to pack up and secure some of my bigger items, they arrived at my place even before I did! When I got there, they got right to work bringing everything into my new home and unwrapping it in front of me to show that nothing had been damaged on the way there. I couldn't imagine the move without their help!

Home Sweet Home

People weren't kidding when they told us moving would be stressful. I never realized how much stuff we had accumlated over the years until it was time to pack it all up into boxes and move it across the country! We researched all of our options for moving our things in a safe and efficient manner, and we were so grateful when we finally stumbled upon a moving company in Washington DC. They wrapped up all of our belongings so carefully, and did a much better job handling large items than we could have ever done on our own. When we arrived at our new home, the truck was there waiting for us to be unloaded by their awesome crew! I'm so glad we found these guys, I don't know how we would have made the move without them!

Staying Cool During My Summer Move



I was so excited when I finally signed the lease to my new place, but quickly realized how much work I would have to do to be ready for the move in two weeks! I started to brainstorm which of my friends I could recruit to help me transport my boxes and furniture. Not only did I have a ton of stuff to move, but the summer weather had been so hot that it seemed like no one was willing to help. Eventually, I got tired of bugging my friends. This is when I decided to do some research into local professional movers in Washington DC. I found a great company that I could trust. The day of the move was so quick, easy, and effortless that I was able to stay cool and put all the worries and stress of moving in the past! I’ll never move without professional help again!

Helping Friends Move... Last Time

I helped a couple of my friends move last weekend, and boy, I think that’ll be the last time! I’m absolutely beat today, and have a bunch of scrapes and bruises to prove it. I’m moving apartments in a few months and was thinking of having friends help out, but now I think I’ll look for Chevy Chase MD mover that can help! My friends and I struggled with the bigger furniture pieces, and we realized that movers do this all the time! They have a system, and equipment. And we also realized that they can look at a door frame and know how to fit that couch through it, instead of our trial-and-error method. Yup. Movers it is.

Moving to other side of town

            It seems almost impossible to move while you work full time and across town. My friend and I both work full time and usually get home around 6pm. We both work in Bethesda MD but live in Alexandria VA and have decided to move to Bethesda so the commute isn’t as long in the morning. Luckily, we found a moving company in Bethesda MD that helps us move on a tight budget, plus was able to work with us on scheduling. We were able to move 5 items that we would never be able to lift ourselves, for only $195! They moved our couch, television, dining room table, and both of our beds. Also once we got to our new apartment, they worked on an hourly basis and stayed longer than we thought we needed them! Unfortunately, some of our stuff wasn’t going to fit in our new apartment so we needed to store it somewhere while our parents took the trip to Maryland to come pick it up. This company allowed us to store it at their storage facility for $50 a month. We ended up moving a two bedroom apartment for less than $500 dollars and we couldn’t be happier. We now have a reliable moving company who also helps move people across the country too!

Tough Work Even for a Local Move

My friend is moving in to Bethesda, MD, and has been looking for a local moving company to help make the trip less stressful. It’s about an hour away from where she lives now. Her current plan is to rent a truck and move everything with a group of friends, but I think the amount of things she has is slowly dawning on her. She started looking for a moving company she could use both in her current town, and in Bethesda, to compare pricing. I’m with her on hiring a company; it’s hard work to do it on your own!

Downsizing

I was moving from Alexandria VA to Arlington VA and I needed to find a moving company in Arlington VA. My biggest concern was making sure that my things were packed correctly. I was packing for days and it seemed like I had barely made a dent in my things. Downsizing was going to be difficult, I already knew but moving from a 3 bedroom home to a 2 bedroom apartment, I needed to bring half as much stuff. I was looking to see if there were movers that would specifically help me with the packing aspect of moving and I couldn’t find anyone who would only help pack and provide labor rather than do the physical moving from one home to the other. Finally, after weeks of research and not much more packing done, I saw that there were a few companies who offered different kinds of moving options: they can help you pack, you can pack, and they can just physically move your things. It was a dream come true, I am glad that I didn’t give up researching companies for my big move!
