“I needed last-minute moving services, and they delivered. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and took great care to protect my furniture while transporting it safely to my storage unit. The two-person team was also friendly and enjoyable to chat with.”
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
Tell us the building and the cross streets and we’ll tell you exactly how your Arlington day will run.
