Movers in Washington, DC
Washington, DC is our most complex service area: Capitol Hill rowhouses, Northwest apartment buildings, condos with loading docks and streets where a parked truck needs a permit. We plan these moves around building rules, not the other way around.
Comparing moving companies in Washington, DC? Our crews work District of Columbia every week — house movers for single-family homes, apartment crews for buildings around Capitol Hill, and long-distance loads that leave Washington on a confirmed schedule.
Local movers in Washington, DC
Most households we move in Washington sit within a short drive of Capitol Hill or out toward Adams Morgan. Because those distances are short, a typical District of Columbia move runs in a single day with one crew and one truck — at a price agreed in writing beforehand.
We treat every Washington household the same way: walk the home, agree on what moves and what stays, protect the surfaces, then load in a fixed order so nothing gets crushed and the important rooms open first at the other end. Most jobs in District of Columbia are finished in a single day with one crew and one truck.

- Furniture blanket-wrapped and stretch-wrapped as standard
- Elevator, loading-zone and certificate-of-insurance coordination for apartment buildings
- A written price before move day, with the crew size named

Questions
Movers in Washington, DC: common questions
Answers for households moving in and out of Washington, District of Columbia.
How much do movers cost in Washington, DC?
Cost in Washington depends on the size of your home, the number of crew members and trucks, how far you're going and how much packing you want. Because most District of Columbia moves are local, we can usually quote from a short call and a walk-through of your rooms — and you get the number in writing before move day.
Do you handle apartment and condo moves in Washington?
Yes. Apartment and condo moves around Capitol Hill and Dupont Circle are a normal part of our week. We coordinate elevator reservations, loading-zone windows and certificates of insurance with your building manager so move day isn't held up at the door.
How far ahead should I book a move in Washington?
Two to four weeks is typical for Washington. Spring and summer weekends, end-of-month dates and the first days of any month fill first. If your date is already set, send the quote form and we'll confirm availability the same business day.
Do you move households out of Washington to another state?
Regularly. We run long-distance residential loads out of Washington toward Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Richmond and beyond, and into Washington from those same areas. The load is handled by one assigned crew from pickup to delivery.
Are you a local moving company in Washington?
Yes — we are a locally run residential moving company, not a brokerage or a national call center. Our crews work District of Columbia every week, so when you call about a move in Washington you are talking to the people who will actually load the truck.
Do you have house movers in Washington for single-family homes?
We do. House movers in Washington handle everything from a three-bedroom colonial to a larger home with a garage, basement and shed: room-by-room inventory, furniture wrapped and reassembled, and boxes labelled so unpacking starts in the right rooms.
How do I compare moving companies in Washington, DC?
Ask three things of every mover in Washington: a written estimate that names crew size, truck and price; proof of insurance you can verify; and whether the people loading your home are employees or day labor. We answer all three before you book, and we never ask for a deposit to hold a date.
Do you offer commercial moving in Washington?
No. Tri State Moving is residential only — houses, townhomes, apartments, condos and long-distance home moves. Keeping our trucks and crews on household work is why Washington moves stay on schedule.
