Movers in Arlington, VA

White-glove crews from District High Quality Movers, just across the Potomac in Arlington County.

Arlington sits a few minutes from our Northeast DC yard, straight across the Potomac. We move households all over the county, from Clarendon, Ballston, Rosslyn, and Courthouse to the quieter older streets south of Columbia Pike, with our own trucks and our own uniformed crew on every job.

Same flat written price you’d get in the District, same named movers loading and unloading. We’re a licensed Virginia mover, not a referral desk that hands your move to a stranger.

  • Licensed & insured — US DOT/MC & DMV household-goods registration
  • Set-price quotes in writing, with nothing buried
  • Our own uniformed movers and trucks

Request your locked-in price

Send a few details and our DC office writes back one set price for the move — nothing owed, usually inside the hour.

An Arlington move splits into two very different jobs, and we plan for both. The Rosslyn and Ballston high-rises along Wilson Boulevard mean a building COI on file, a freight-elevator reservation window, and a loading dock you have to share, so we book the slot early and pad the elevator before a single box moves. The older neighborhoods off Walter Reed Drive and around Lyon Park are houses with stairs, narrow driveways, and street parking that fills up by 8am.

We run District High Quality Movers’ own six-truck fleet up US-50 and I-66 into the county all week, so the same crew that quotes your move is the crew that shows up. Damon’s movers wrap furniture in full blankets and shrink-wrap, lay floor runners through the lobby, and protect door frames and bannisters on the row-house jobs near 22201 and 22203.

What an Arlington high-rise move actually needs

If you’re in a Clarendon or Courthouse tower, the building rules drive the schedule more than the truck does. Here’s what we line up before move day:

  • A certificate of insurance issued to your building management, usually 48 hours ahead
  • A reserved freight-elevator block so we’re not waiting on residents
  • Dock or loading-zone timing coordinated with the front desk
  • Elevator pads and corner guards hung before the first piece loads
  • An emergency no-parking permit when the truck can’t reach the dock
Arlington local rates: $159/hr for a 2-mover crew and truck, $209/hr for a 3-mover crew, with pads, dollies, and tools included. A $129 deposit locks your date and comes off the total. Studios run $420–$680; two-bedrooms $1,200–$1,900.

Tell us the building and the cross streets and we’ll tell you exactly how your Arlington day will run.

Moving to Arlington — common questions

Do you handle the COI for Arlington high-rises like Rosslyn and Ballston?
Yes. Most towers along Wilson Boulevard and in Rosslyn require a certificate of insurance naming building management before they’ll release the freight elevator. We issue it from our own policy — up to $1,000,000 cargo coverage per shipment — and send it to your front desk a couple of days ahead so move day isn’t held up.
How fast can you get to Arlington from DC?
Our yard is at 2335 4th St NE, so we’re across the Potomac and into the county in well under half an hour on US-50 or I-66 outside rush hour. We move Arlington households Monday through Saturday, and the crew that estimates your job is the same crew that arrives.
Can you reserve a parking spot on a packed Arlington street?
We can. For the older blocks off Columbia Pike and around Lyon Park where the curb fills early, we’ll arrange an emergency no-parking permit through Arlington County to hold a spot for the truck, so we’re not double-parked or hauling boxes an extra hundred feet.
