Anyone know of a reliable and affordable moving company?

Very professional, very reasonable, and quick and efficient - Gentle Giants. We've used them four times! They make their movers RUN if they are not carrying anything, so packup is fast (saves you $). http://www.gentlegiant.com
We are so glad to have found this group! Any recommendations for movers? We hope to be moving into our new home in a few weeks and need assistance moving items from the storage container into the house.

John Pacocha from Chester runs this place; he's a great guy and they do a great job. http://www.gentlegiant.com/.../leading-moving-companies.aspx
Can anyone recommend a moving company? I prefer to support a local company (it's a local move) rather than a large chain. We had a disastrous move many years ago and don't want a repeat performance,...
I had a very positive experience moving with Gentle Giant (a Massachusetts Company with headquarters in Sommerville.) http://www.gentlegiant.com/ -Susan Lehotsky
Does anyone have recommendations for a moving company that would be good to handle a move within Fairlington? (We’re just going a few blocks). Thanks!

I second GENTLE GIANT. I did a local move with GENTLE GIANT and they were fast and awesome. You can even purchase paper and used boxes at a discount from them, and they will drop off for free. Or they can pack you out and move you, too. Some moving companies never called me back, including 2 Marines and a Truck. GENTLE GIANT gave me the best estimate and when they came in under that, refunded money to me. https://www.gentlegiant.com
Hello neighbors, can you please send me recommendations for affordable local movers? Thanks

I'm with Chrissy Markel Smith. Gentle Giant is awesome. You can purchase supplies from them for free drop off. I bought gently used boxes at a discount, packed myself, and they picked up my boxes and furniture for my move. I saved a ton of money. They also do full pack outs and moves. https://www.gentlegiant.com
Does anyone have a reasonably rated moving company they recommend? I haven't moved in 6 years and live in a Clarendon 2 unit. My husband is recently graduated from the Virginia Theological Seminary so we are tight on budget and moving to Herndon to be closer to his first parish. The quotes I am getting are in the upper 1800-2100 range. Is this the going rate these days? Thanks!

Hi - you can save money if you pack yourself out and just have professional movers pick up, move and deliver your items. I did a move with GENTLE GIANT (703-372-2589). I only moved about 2 miles, but they do longer moves. They are efficient, fast and fairly priced. You can also buy paper and used boxes from them at a discount to pack yourself, and they will drop the supplies off for free. They can give you an estimate if you call. They do full moves, but packing yourself out will save money. They will also wrap your furniture to protect it for the move. https://www.gentlegiant.com
