Our top-rated team has provided first class customer satisfaction, quality and value for hundreds of moves every year.
Our movers treat every piece of furniture, equipment and other items as if it were their own. You can trust us and know that we are taking every precaution we can to safely pack, load, transport and unload your items from the moment we arrive until the last box is unloaded or even unpacked.
Scheduling for your move:
When you have decided on your moving date, contact our service office by phone or email and let us know the details of your move. We can work within your budget and help you become one of our next satisfied customers. Our customer service representative will be able to gather the information for your upcoming move and walk you through the steps to make it as smooth and stress-free as possible.
There are a few things that we will need to know to give you the most accurate quote – please let us know by email or we can review with you on a call:
- First, we need to know when you plan to move. Some days of the week or month are busier than others, and if you have any flexibility in your move dates our team can offer alternatives to help save you money.
- How many rooms are we packing and/or moving?
- Do you have a backyard with tables, barbeques, chairs, plants and pots?
- Do you have a garage with lawn movers, garden tools, and miscellaneous item?
- Do you have any large or heavy items that need special handling such as pianos or safes?
- For safety and insurance reasons, we need to know if any items will be moved that are over 225 pounds or very bulky or any antique or delicate items or any item over $1000 in value so we can be prepared with any possible additional padding and packing material.
Depending on where and when you are moving, and how many rooms you are moving, we will be able to give you an estimate of the cost and time for your move. If you are on a budget, we can certainly work with you to determine the most affordable plan for you.
Tip: Contacting us online or by email is a fast and easy way to get all your answers and a quote in writing. Our team is online throughout the day and many times at night, and responds to all emails daily. In addition, new emails received overnight are usually answered in the early morning hours; often you will receive a reply to your email much sooner than a callback from a voicemail message.
What to expect on moving day:
On the date chosen for your move, our experienced moving team will give you a courtesy call or text to give you a more exact arrival time so you will know if they are arriving early, on time or ran into any problems and will be slightly late. While we hate to be late perfection is impossible and it is why we give half hour windows of arrival, which we then try and beat so we have lots of cushion time and are late very rarely.
Once we have everything packed in the truck, we will deliver it to your new location. When we arrive at your new place, we carefully unload the truck and place all your belongings in the appropriate room (based on the labeling made on boxes during packing if we packed or upon your direction) to make unpacking easier for you.
Our team members can also unpack your items for you as well. If this is a service that you would us to provide, please let our customer service representative know when booking your move.
Coupon Specials:
Our coupon prices are a discount from what is listed on prices page so we recommend looking there to see if one meets your needs. Please note that coupon prices may be slightly higher the first and last 2 days of the month, and on Saturdays.

Please refer to our tips and articles
Professional Packing Service:
DC Top Choice Movers can make your move as easy as possible by taking care of your packing needs. Our packers are very efficient and handle every item as if it is their own, carefully wrapping and packing based on their experience from hundreds of moves just like yours.
Our packing techniques ensure your items are properly packed and protected so they will be safe in transit from the time we pack them until they reach your destination. For only $100 (4-hour minimum), your household items and personal belongings are packed by our most-experienced teams.
Our packing team brings ample supplies of everything required to properly wrap and securely pack your items, including packing paper, boxes and tape. You can provide your own boxes and packing materials and we can pack your items or we can bring an assortment of small, medium, and large boxes. The cost for our supplies is $4 per box – this price includes tape, and packing paper. (Wardrobe boxes are also available upon request at $16 each.)
Depending on the size of your move, we may pack on the same day of the move or for medium or larger moves the day or 2before the actual move to ensure we have ample time. Here are some other things to expect from our packing service:
- We use professional packing supplies
- Fragile Items will always be clearly marked
- Each box will clearly state the room they are for, a number, and generally what is in the box, example: Kitchen, #23, kitchen dishes
- Boxes will weigh no more than 30-50 lbs
- China, glassware, bowls, plates and other pieces will be both wrapped and paper and placed in boxes padded by packing paper for double protection, and boxes will be marked fragile.
- Small appliances and electronics will be securely wrapped with packing paper and with extra crushed paper as padding to protect them in transit.
- Furniture (except for upholstered furniture) will be wrapped with a moving blanket. If the piece of furniture has glass doors, we can upon request remove them and wrap them separately.
- Upholstered furniture like couches, chairs and ottomans we can shrink-wrap them so they don’t get stained or dirty during the move. All the cushions and pillows of the upholstered furniture will be packed separately in a boxes or bags.
- Home décor will be individually wrapped up in packing paper with some additional packing paper crushed paper to provide additional padding.
- Framed art, mirrors and pictures will be bubble wrapped may need additional packing materials and must be listed so we can give best recommendation based on size, value, etc.
- Clothing or drapes can be packed in wardrobe boxes ($16 per box). This makes it easy to hang your clothes or drapes when you arrive at your new destination. Or we can use a bag method which will possibly result in wrinkled clothing but will still protect clothing and save money.
- Garage and outdoor belongings – Items from the garage and outdoors are usually an odd shape, heavy and awkward – not easy to pack. If they are dismantled, cleaned out before the packing day it would be a great help. For instance, mowers, weed whackers and other gas powered tools need to be emptied before we can wrap them and prepare them to move. If you have protective covers we will place those on before wrapping them. All their attachments will be carefully packed in a box with additional packing paper and labeled. If you have a propane barbeque, the tank needs to be removed and empty before it can be moved.
- Outdoor furniture, pots, children equipment will be dismantled and securely packed in boxes with packing paper and labeled appropriately. Again, preparing these items by cleaning them, dumping dirt out of pots, makes it easier to move. If there are live plants you want to be packed, we can discuss with you the best way of packing them to your satisfaction, however keep in mind it can get very hot in the back of truck or moving pod.
Our Costs:
We charge $100 per hour (minimum 4 hours) Provide your own supplies or we can provide wardrobe boxes for $16 and all other boxes for just $4 which includes tape and packing paper. Bubble wrap if needed for art, mirrors, or tvs without original box is $15 a roll and please let us know what items will need it so we can bring appropriate amount.
