Summer is when most people like to move because the weather is warm and the kids are between school years. Still, fall, winter, and spring moves are totally doable. Just be aware that we retain the right to cancel or postpone your move in the event of inclement weather.

Moving is stressful, so you might be wondering how to prepare for the big day. Reference our moving checklist for help getting a handle on everything you must do.

Hand over the packing responsibilities to Georgetown Moving and Storage Company. We offer:

We take pride in our storage options, which are affordable and economical thanks to our vault system of storing your possessions. Choose from these options:

Many counties and cities, including those in the Washington DC Metro area, require a permit to place a portable storage container or PODS-like storage unit in a private or public right of way. To prevent hitting snags on moving day, it’s important to secure the necessary permit in advance. Learn more about your county’s permit requirements before you make arrangements with Georgetown Moving and Storage Company.

We charge by the hour. Once you reach the two-hour minimum, we bill in 15-minute increments to keep your move affordable. We also charge a travel fee, which includes travel time to and from our warehouse to each job site, with a one-hour minimum on all moves. For more details about our moving rates, please call us!

We know life throws you curveballs sometimes. If you need to change the date you set with us, simply call at least 72 hours before your move or pack date and we’ll accommodate you as best we can. Be aware that your estimate may change based on the new day you select.

Once your move is complete, we ask that you make your payment by cash, credit card (VISA, MasterCard, or Discover), money order, or cashier’s check. We don’t accept American Express or personal checks at this time.

We include Basic Valuation Protection with coverage of $0.60 per pound and a $250 deductible free of charge with all moves. We also offer Full Valuation Protection and Depreciation Value Protection for an additional fee.
