The three guy crew who helped us move were professional, courteous, hard-working and very thorough. I’ve never hired movers prior to this - they met every expectation and more. I would definitely use this company again.

They were on time, hard working, duration as scheduled (even faster). I would use them again.

Super professional & effective

They move quickly and efficiently very friendly. They were on time my partial move went wonderfully thank you AJ moving.

We had an extraordinarily short notice move, and they were able to help us out on a moments notice. And the service was absolutely outstanding. They were very thorough very kind and very meticulous in the packing and unpacking of everything we moved. Our family would definitely recommend them as a fantastic option!

Excellent job and service--they were super efficient, friendly, and handled everything with care. Definitely a 10/10 experience, would recommend them to anyone for any moving needs!

N/c

I definitely recommend!!! Movers were efficient and effective!!! Rasully and his partner were great!!! They were quick and on time. They made are move easy! Thank you again both!

The team was professional, courteous, responsive, and accepted direction without problem. We will use them again when we look to move things from the pod back into the house.

They called to provide me with an ETA, and then called me back a little later to revise and push back their ETA, which I appreciated. Great communication. Once on site, they started working immediately and got everything loaded into the storage container in just over an hour, neatly packed and with plenty of space left over. They even helped my wife unload some things from our car on their way out.

The movers arrive on time and immediately started to unload 2 UBoxes into the moving truck. They very carefully packed the furniture with blankets and tape. The 2 movers completed the job on time and within budget. I highly recommend Royal Movers for your next moving job. I would use them again. Great job well done.

Great professional service was provided!!

Great Team. Great attitude. Hard working.

These guys We’re excellent ! The first company we hired never showed up and this company showed up within a couple hours to take over the job and they had our pod completely cleaned out for us in about an hour and a half and they did an excellent job and didn’t damage anything I would highly recommend them to anyone else

Excellent work. Please take good care of them they are great

Pivot Movers did a great job with my move. Matt was helpful and communicative prior to arriving for the move. Both men were quick and efficient and unloaded my truck in under an hour. I would recommended this company again.

The 2 man crew was accommodating, efficient and finished ahead of schedule. Thanks guys.

Carlton and Gia were professional, arrived “early”, and delivered services above expectations! We really appreciated their manpower to move our personal belongings. Thank you again!!!

They came right on time that they quoted. very prepared for the job at hand and very knowledgeable about what needed to be done and how to do it. they were very professional and kind, we were a bit jumbled ourselves but they were patient. would recommend and would use again if services needed.

They were amazing!! Took care of all of our things and we’re on time. Would highly recommend

Great, fast service. Lamont is extremely nice and professional as was the guy with him. I have already planned to book them again for unloading my POD. I Would recommend this company to all.

Did a very good job showed up a little late but called me and said they were running 30 minutes late. Professional team that cared about our furniture..

The movers were great! They worked very hard and were helpful with everything. I would definitely recommend them.

Unfortunately, this started last Saturday and until this past Friday, which was the only day ALL WEEK until then that I got ANY HELP!!! I was moving my furniture by myself as well as box loads of stuff all week and it was VERY WELCOMING to get this help on Friday!!!! My back thanks you as well, as I had a break for a day and they finished quickly as there wasn’t much left to do! I got home In plenty of time to actually take a bath which did wonders for my back!!!

Brandon and Cam were awesome! They were efficient with unloading our truck and belongings. They also took great care of our furniture. Professional and polite. Cannot recommend this duo enough. Thank you for all your help!

Taj & DJ were right on time. They were efficient, willing to accommodate and most respectful. We were in much need of helping hands and so appreciative of each of them for a job well done.

Major Neighborhoods in Arlington
Not far from the nation’s capital is Arlington, home to the famous Arlington National Cemetery. This part of Northern Virginia is rich in history, culture, and natural beauty, including the waterfront views of the Potomac River. Whether you'd rather be watching performing arts at the Gunston Arts Theater or taking a day trip to the nearby National Mall, the city offers a wealth of experiences. That includes great places to meet friends for a bite, like the long-time local hotspot Galaxy Hut which offers over 20 rotating craft beers, plus live music and a vegetarian-friendly menu. Because the area is such a hub for tourism and locals commuting into DC and elsewhere, Arlington can get a little tricky to navigate. So rely on the know-how of local movers to get you to your new home flawlessly.
Ballston
The Ballston neighborhood consists of a cool, urban center surrounded by quieter residential areas. It's also an easy commute to the Office of Naval Research or, if you happen to be a student instead, right nearby Marymount University. Talk about the best of all worlds! But it doesn't end with work or school. Shopping is close at hand at the Ballston Quarter for shopping, or you can pick from 12 different resturants to enjoy at the Quarter Market food hall. You can also learn to skate at the same rink the pros practice by visiting MedStar Capitals Iceplex. Already packing to make Ballston your new home? Then be sure to hire local movers who will get your belongings to your new home hassle-free.
Crystal City
Crystal City is an iconic Arlington neighborhood with incredible views of Washington, D.C. on the other side of the river. You’ll find plenty to do as a resident here, like enjoying the restaurants, retailers, and cafes at Crystal City Shops, or taking a swim in the city's only Olympic-sized pool at the Long Bridge Park Aquatics & Fitness Center. If you're more of a foodie, you're still in luck, as there are plenty of local favorites to try like tacos and guac at Tacombi or a slice at We, The Pizza. This area is especially busy with commuters, as it's only five miles south of downtown D.C., so you’ll need to rely on the experience of local movers to get to your new home without a hitch.
Pentagon City
Considered Arlington’s commercial hub, Pentagon City will spoil you with choices for resturants and shopping. For example, The Fashion Centre at Pentagon Row alone has 140 restaurants and stores, while Westpost offers ample shopping opportunities along with an outdoor ice-skating rink in the winter and live music in the summer. Along with all the classic dining options, you can experience unique eateries like the Irish farm-to-table restaurant Mattie & Eddie’s. There's also the new 2.5-acre Metropolitan Park, for when you need to take your pet out for a walk or have a little break among the greenery. Whenever you're ready to become a part of the Pentagon City community, leave the logistics to the pros and hire local movers to handle your relocation.
Shirlington
The walkable sidewalks and local boutiques help make Shirlington, feel like a little bubble away from the rest of the city. It's the perfect neighborhood for those who want a little less bustle than other areas, but still want to be near all the entertainment, food, and art those places usually offer. Here, you can catch a play at the famous Signature Theatre or watch a new release at AMC Shirlington 7. And it doesn't get more unique than a visit to Busboys & Poets to enjoy a bookstore, lounge, restaurant, and theater all in one place. Check out our list of affordable local movers who can help you make the moving experience a breeze, all without breaking the bank.

Outstanding Performance and support by MBK Moving & Hauling! They are highly professional and very knowledgeable. We value their services and feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to engage them.

I highly recommend Prestige Laborers. I've moved a lot in my life and this was by far the least stressful. They told me to woo saa when they arrived and they were correct. They arrived on time, loaded everything quickly, and were extremely careful with my belongings. I would use them again in a heartbeat, but hopefully I won't be moving for a long time.

Our helpers were very professional, polite, listened to our suggestions and had great personalities. They made this move so easy and quick. Your online tracking and billing was exceptional as well. I’d refer all my friends and relatives to your company.

The guys worked fast and were very friendly and professional. They offered advice on the best way to pack up some tricky things, and broke down some of the furniture. Would definitely recommend!

They were on time and did a great job fitting everything into our moving truck! I would definitely recommend if you don't mind looking past the slight unprofessionalism in their attitude. We had an issue with our loading dock that led to one of the movers cussing out our management company...

DMV Discount Moving & Cleaning was amazing from start to finish even with me peppering them with questions and ending up taking double the time I thought our move would take. The movers were helpful and fast. Highly recommended!!

Carlton’s crew did an outstanding job unloading our furniture. They were careful not to damage the furniture and the walls when moving in large and small items. I highly recommend this company.

Alex and Michael did my job on Christmas Eve. They were on time, and finished before the end of the 2-hours. Very professional and friendly, I would highly recommend! I appreciated them so much for helping me on a holiday.

Team did an awesome job, very efficient. We ended up getting a lot more done than I expected. Only complaint is the washer or dryer was dropped by the stairs and caused minor damage to the wood floors. Would call this team again!

The guys were on time, came prepared, positive attitude, attention to detail, flexible, handled everything with care. They were very organized, proficient and displayed amazing teamwork. I will be using them in the future.

This is our third time hiring Samuel Services and these guys are magicians. Two guys loaded my entire 3br house into a pod in THREE HOURS and the pod was an hour late! Cannot recommend them enough, they are legitimately the best movers I’ve ever worked with.

The two movers were timely and very pleasant however we paid a lot more for the move than they got paid because I asked them. It was a quick job of getting a heavy piece of furniture up a shortish staircase. They also drove a long way to get to my house. We tipped them and they were very appreciative.
