Arlington moves areelevator moves
Arlington County packs a quarter of a million people into 26 square miles, most of them in high-rises along the Metro. Moving day here is about the building more than the street, and we sort the building before the truck arrives.
What we handle for you:
- Freight elevator and dockReserved with your building for the window you need, and the certificate of insurance sent to management ahead.
- Two buildings, one dayMost Arlington moves go from one tower to another. We line up both buildings' windows so the crew never waits.
- Garden apartmentsThe walk-ups along Columbia Pike and in Buckingham: three flights with no elevator are in the flat price.
- Street parkingWhere there's no dock, we find the truck's spot ahead and never bill the time it takes.
Arlington County movesbooked before the elevator
Most Arlington County moves start at a building. We book the elevator and the dock before moving day.
What we take care of:
- Move windowReserved with your building's management.
- Insurance certificateSent ahead of time.
- Two buildingsBoth ends booked when you move tower to tower.
- Floors and wallsRunner at the door, protection tape on paths and stairs, flat boxes on every corner.

Plan around leases, orders and the 1st
Nearly six in ten Arlington homes are rented, and the Pentagon is in the county, so the calendar matters more here than anywhere else we move.
End of every month
Leases turn over on the 1st, and the big buildings only have so many elevator slots. The last days of the month book up first.
Summer PCS season
Pentagon and Fort Myer orders peak from May to August. Book as soon as your dates are set.
Summer in general
Interns, new hires and graduates arrive all at once. June and July are the tightest weeks of the year.
Fridays and Saturdays
Always more expensive than weekdays. A midweek move saves money and gets the better elevator slot.
