Sorted before the truck arrives

Most of what goes wrong on a Rockville moving day is decided days earlier. Here's what we take care of ahead of time, and none of it is billed by the hour.

What we take care of:

  • Elevator and dockTown Center and Pike buildings: freight elevator and loading dock reserved, insurance certificate sent.
  • HOA move rulesKing Farm and Fallsgrove move hours and truck parking, planned around, not into.
  • Where the truck standsOn cul-de-sacs and townhouse streets, the spot and the carry are planned, so a long walk is in the price.
  • Floors and wallsRunner at the door, protection tape on paths and stairs, flat boxes on the corners.

What we move here

Half houses and half apartment buildings

Rockville splits almost evenly between single-family houses and apartment buildings of ten homes or more, with a townhouse belt in the planned neighborhoods. Each one is a different kind of moving day.

  • Single-family houses41%

    The West End, Twinbrook and Aspen Hill ramblers and colonials. Driveways make loading easy; basements and narrow stairs are where the time goes, and they're in your flat price.

  • Mid- and high-rises (10+ homes)40%

    Town Center and the Rockville Pike corridor up to Pike & Rose. We book the freight elevator and loading dock and send the building its certificate of insurance before moving day.

  • Townhouses & rowhouses14%

    King Farm and Fallsgrove. Three stories, tight stairwells and HOA move rules about where the truck can stand.

  • Small buildings (2–9 homes)5%

    Garden apartments and small condo buildings, often walk-ups, where every piece goes up or down the stairs by hand.

    Ngozi O.'s family was leaving a three-floor townhouse in King Farm for a house in Potomac, closing on both in the same week.

    • The challenge

      Closing and moving, same week

      Settlement Thursday, out by Friday afternoon.

      Fri 2 PM

      Fri 9 AM

      The buyers' walkthrough was Friday afternoon, so the townhouse had to be empty by 2. The Potomac keys came at 9 that morning. One day, both houses, no room for a move that ran long.

    • The challenge

      Three floors, one staircase

      Bedrooms on three, living on two, garage on one.

      King Farm townhouses stack the bedrooms over the living floor over the garage. Two king beds, a bunk bed, three dressers and most of the 125 boxes came down 32 steps, through the living floor, to the trucks at the garage door.

      The HOA does not allow moving trucks before 8 AM, and the rear alley is too narrow to park across. The trucks took turns at the garage apron and the crew carried about 40 feet. The front street is permit parking only.

    • The challenge

      A 500-pound upright piano, a 240-pound treadmill and a three-piece sectional were all listed as bulky. Three beds, two dining tables, a recliner and eight floor lamps had to come apart and go back together. The piano went down to the garage on a piano board.

      Top floor first, two trucks

      Bedrooms down while the piano waited.

      Three movers and two 26-foot trucks started on the third floor at 8: beds apart, dressers wrapped, boxes down the 32 steps. The piano went last, onto the board and down to the truck, so it rode at the front wall with nothing stacked on it. The townhouse was empty at 1:30, thirty minutes before the buyers' deadline, and the beds and tables were back together in Potomac by 5:40.

      The estimate came to $2986.41 with no deposit. That Friday was a Peak day, one of the busier and more expensive days to move. The 32 steps, the piano and the treadmill were priced at the walkthrough, not added on the day, which is the difference between a flat rate and an hourly one with extras.
