Moving to Washington 20019: what to know.

Reserve the curb. A moving truck on a DC street needs an Emergency No Parking permit from DDOT, and the signs have to be posted at least 72 hours before moving day, so book it about a week ahead.
Many DC homes are rowhouses with steep front steps and narrow stairwells. Tell us about stairs and tight turns when you book, so the crew brings the right gear and the right number of hands.
Apartment and condo buildings usually ask for a certificate of insurance and a reserved freight elevator or loading dock time. Ask your building early, for both the old place and the new one.

Local moves in 20019 start at $240 for a 1-bedroom apartment and $780 for a 2-bedroom house. One flat rate, no deposit.
