The guys did a fantastic job loading up the moving truck. I was convinced I was going to need to need to do another trip but they managed to get everything in the truck in one go.
![All Aboard Moverz Profile Image](https://cloud.hireahelper.com/helpers/workerimages/425859847c1f48b4b8a6843059966b13.jpeg)
Three guys arrived on time. They worked smoothly and consistently. two of them seemed very experienced with this job and the other was a solid helper. They were careful of the furnishings and respectful of the properties and they were quick and finished in two hours. I would recommend them and use them again.
![GET A MOVE ON Profile Image](https://cloud.hireahelper.com/helpers/workerimages/6b860c5037dd4c89a6bb3bccb2778d3d.jpg)
Highly recommend! After a friend had a family issue, Kevin and crew provided last minute moving assistance for a 16’ POD load. They were professional, efficient, and careful in loading and making sure items fit and were secure.
![Jon's Friendly Movers Profile Image](https://www.hireahelper.com/_static/img/public/geopages/stock-photos/moving-service-provider-03.jpg)

![Best Movers VA Profile Image](https://cloud.hireahelper.com/helpers/workerimages/e6c920a5b1ff4a9da06ff5213880c5e6.jpg)
We enjoyed a wonderful moving experience with our crew. They arrived early and were professional, courteous and very hard working. The foreman was very meticulous in his placement of the furniture to ensure everything was placed safely in the POD. I strongly recommend the use of services provided by this moving company.
![DMV Discount Moving & Cleaning Profile Image](https://cloud.hireahelper.com/helpers/workerimages/fe8d3c0a9b1c471bbea1c010faeb4eed.jpg)
The job required moving heavy and cumbersome items around the home and some items up the stairs that I could not accomplish on my own. Sean was the lead and accomplished most of the leg work himself. The two men were able to move the heavier items without difficulty and in positions that my wife wanted. I would use the service again if required.

Kendall and Dave were hands down phenomenal!! My moving pod was supposed to arrive a day before they were scheduled to come, and Kendall was so kind, compassionate and flexible when it turned out my pod was delayed for 24 hours! He worked with me on a new time to come, and showed up early to help direct the pod delivery. In a world consistently short on customer service, Kendall and Dave were a breath of fresh air. They even moved everything in under an hour!! 10/10 would recommend!
![Ready to Move LLC Profile Image](https://cloud.hireahelper.com/helpers/workerimages/6839958d5d3f4a20942470883f561811.jpeg)

![Ty VIP Moves Profile Image](https://www.hireahelper.com/_static/img/public/geopages/stock-photos/moving-service-provider-30.jpg)
Ty and his partner had nonstop energy while packing our moving truck! They didn't stop until the job was done and until it was done correctly. They were mindful of our concerns such as fragile boxes and the possibility of our items shifting in the truck during our drive from the east to the west coast. They packed the truck so well that nothing moved! They also helped us take some heavy items to the trash which was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend them for all your moving needs.
![Nicks movers Profile Image](https://www.hireahelper.com/_static/img/public/geopages/stock-photos/moving-service-provider-31.jpg)
Everything you'd want - friendly, hardworking, took care with my belongings. This wasn't a full house move - just a few pieces of furniture and a number of boxes. I felt bad since I wasn't clear that I expected them to bring a dolly. I didn't rent one with the truck, so the guys had to lug all the boxes by hand. I would definitely use them again without hesitation.
![Advanced Moving Systems Profile Image](https://www.hireahelper.com/_static/img/public/geopages/stock-photos/moving-service-provider-32.jpg)
They were awesome. Very careful with all items and very courteous. They worked nonstop and moved very quick while taking care of all items.

Phil and his crew were incredibly hard workers, who were extremely flexible with our 3-part move. Great guys with super attitudes. Would absolutely recommend them for anyone looking for a crew to help them move.
![DC Top Choice Movers Profile Image](https://www.hireahelper.com/_static/img/public/geopages/stock-photos/moving-service-provider-38.jpg)
I did my research and DC Top Choice Movers had 4.5 star average on Yelp and A+ rating on Angie's List. Review after review people really seemed excited about the service provided by DC Top Choice Movers so I selected them knowing my load was going to be a tight fit and needing very good truck packers and furniture handlers to use the space well. I am very glad I did, they did not disappoint me at all! Showed up early and got right to work after a quick walk through to see what all I had. They padded furniture, sometimes putting blankets on the ground to protect it while they flipped and reversed my furniture to put together the perfect puzzle: tightly packed to the roof. At the end there was actually room to spare, and me without any rope or anything?!? They had me covered there as well and secured a my load with one of their ratchet straps. They said it would have been free for a local move but charged me a very fair $5 for the strap since I am leaving area. I couldn't have asked for a friendly or more skilled and professional company. Super happy to leave the first of what I am sure are to be lots of rave reviews for them. Thanks again for taking the stress out of my move and making it a great experience!

Real Advice from Richmond Movers
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Richmond. (They’re really nice!)
"If you're in Richmond city, make sure you double check street signs. It can get really tricky and there are lots of no parking zones to abide by along with specific parking times. If you're moving from out of state use the google map to check the area or if you're local drive by the place a few times to get the scope of it."

Major Neighborhoods in Richmond
As the capital of Virginia, Richmond is a metro with a lot to offer. While not strictly a college town, Virginia Commonwealth University fills many parts of the city with students and the vibe of being on an extended campus. There are also a lot of landmarks and buildings that have history built into the foundations, but the top one is probably St. John’s Church, where Patrick Henry gave his famous “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech. Art buffs have a place to love in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, which features pieces by local artists and rotating exhibits. If you're planning on making this your new home, you’ll want to enlist the help of local movers who have experience with the city's roads, parking, and eccentricities.
The Fan District
Also known as simply “The Fan,” the Fan District is centered on the busy VCU campus. As you'd expect from a neighborhood that serves a lot of students, there are plenty of coffee shops, boutiques, brewpubs, and live music venues. Try the open-air concerts and festivals hosted on Brown’s Island, an artificial island in the middle of the James River. You can also stroll along that riverfront or check out a tour of the John Marshall House, the former home of Chief Justice John Marshall. Of course, being a neighborhood with a university means that the traffic conditions change seasonally in The Fan, so consider hiring local movers familiar with the patterns. Their know-how helps them get you to your new home stress-free.
Church Hill
Church Hill combines the city's history with a restaurant selection that's any foodie's dream. Even better, it's incredibly walkable, which is great for day-to-day errands and exploring popular spots. As for where to begin, try 8 ½ for Italian takeout or drop by Alewife if you're craving mid-Atlantic seafood. You can hang out with a miniature-sized Statue of Liberty at Chimborazo Park, or take a walk through Libby Hill Park, which offers some incredible views of the city lights and the riverfront. In fact, it's said that "Richmond" got its name because the view of the James River is the same as the Thames from Richmond Hill in London. So if you want to live by that iconic view yourself, rely on local movers to make your relocation a breeze.
Carytown
Carytown is a hotspot known as “The Mile of Style”, undoubtedly because of the bright murals painted on the sides of some buildings and the unique stores that call the neighborhood home. Plan 9 Music is one of those shops, and you should absolutely visit if you're a music lover or vinyl collector. You can also do a grocery run at Elwood Thompson’s, a locally-owned organic market that has a juice bar too. Byrd Theater (aka "The Movie Palace") has been around since the late 1920s and still screens modern movies — the architecture and history alone is worth at least one visit. Planning to join the Carytown community? Then check out our list of local movers who will help take over the logistics for you.
Shockoe Bottom
If you like to live right next to history, then Shockoe Bottom is a perfect fit. This neighborhood sits on the riverside in the Northeastern part of the city, and is home to places like the Edgar Allen Poe Museum, where fans can learn more about the famous author’s life. There's also Tobacco Row, where you can see the facades of old warehouses that have since been repurposed into apartments and other buildings. The neighborhood hosts the weekly 17th Street Market, which is one of the longest-running farmer's markets in the country. Before you start packing, though, be sure to check into hiring local movers to help with your relocation. They can navigate around the area's traffic and older streets with ease.

It was because of Ayyy Lets Move It that this was the best moving experience i've ever had. Down three flights of stairs and into a moving truck. Took a little over an hour to move a two bedroom apartment. 10/10 would recommend.

Would be 5 star except Bobby had to do all the work. The other guy was not physically able to help and keep up with the load like he should. Bobby worked really hard and I would definitely use them again....well not the other guy.
