Ben and Darius were outstanding. They had experience packing a POD, hustled throughout the process, were careful with every piece. By careful packing, they filled the POD right up to the closure door. It was a tight load, just what we wanted and needed. I am requesting both men to help us unload when we move back in to the renovated apartment in December. I’m insisting on it!

Speedy and Efficient! I loved working with Best Movers VA for my recent move. I will be recommending them to friends and families as well as using them the next time that I move. The 2 gentlemen were professionally dressed and were friendly. They arrived a little bit late due to GPS issues, but stayed the full amount of time that was requested.

Carlton and his team helped us on two separate jobs with unloading moving trucks. They worked hard and always asked if they weren’t sure where things were to be placed. They were careful with our items and with protecting the walls and doorways of the house. I would recommend them.
