Sterling is Loudoun'solder suburb

Sterling was built in the '70s and '80s, earlier than the rest of Loudoun: half its homes are split-levels and colonials, and three in ten are townhouses. We plan for older stairs and bigger basements before the truck leaves.

What we handle for you:

  • Split-level stairsHalf-flights up and down and a full basement, all in the flat price.
  • Townhouse communitiesCountryside and Cascades set move hours and truck parking.
  • Next to DullesMany moves follow airline and contractor jobs. We work around your schedule.
  • Route 28 and 7A slow morning on the highway never changes your price.

Plan around the school year and the 1st

Sterling's moving season follows the school calendar and the end of every lease.

  • Schoolhouse with a bell tower

    Before school starts

    Late July and August fill up with families moving before the first day of school.

  • Wall calendar with a day circled

    End of every month

    Leases turn over on the 1st, so the last days of the month book up first.

  • Sun

    Summer in general

    June through August is the busiest stretch of the year.

  • Price tag

    Fridays and Saturdays

    Always more expensive than weekdays. A midweek move saves money.
