Three weeks prior to our scheduled move, April 1, 2019, we had Craig Van Lines come out to provide a moving estimate. We were moving within the same town, but did have quite a bit to move having lived in our home for sixteen years. We had seen Craig Van Lines trucks locally, we received multiple recommendations from friends and acquaintances who gave them rave reviews following their moves. One friend used CVL to move to another state. In addition, our Realtor gave us their card as she recommends the company to all her clients! Our first positive impression was that the owner of the company, Fred Craig, was the person who did our actual estimate. Mr. Craig was extremely polite, arrived promptly for our appointment, was professional and took the time to listen to our concerns regarding expensive items we were moving as well as difficult pieces that needed to be broken down to transport. Our crew consisted of Jose, Rudy, and Elmer they arrived promptly, greeted us politely, arrived with the appropriate size trucks to avoid multiple trips and were extremely understanding of our concerns. Rudy walked room to room so that I could point out items of high concern. I cannot express enough how careful they were! Arriving at our new home, the crew was patient with me as I was not sure where I wanted some items and even moved items around when I changed my mind. The move could not have gone more smoothly, the price was exactly what we were quoted, took the exact amount of time quoted and during the day, the owner called to check how our move was going! GREAT customer service! I do not understand having had the experience we did that anyone would give Craig Van Lines any review other than 5 Stars! Excellent Experience for us highly recommend this company! read more

I used Craig Van Lines last weekend for the first time. It was unquestionably the best moving experience I have ever had. The move was not far- Gainesville VA to Haymarket, VA. But I had a lot of stuff to move and the process seemed pretty daunting. To begin with, Craig Van Lines is extremely affordable for the great service they offer. Unlike previous moving experiences, the person I spoke to on the phone to arrange the moving service was extremely friendly and helpful and didn't try to deceive me with hidden costs. The day before the move, I contacted Craig Van Lines to see if they could make a stop at another address before my move to pick up a couple antiques my father gave me for my new house. They did this gladly and without any difficulty and they took great care of the item knowing there value. The move itself was as painless as any move will ever be. The three movers were incredibly polite, helpful and professional. They did everything they could to bring the process in on time and were respectful of my belongings. Not a single item was damaged and they seemed genuinely interested in whether I was satisfied with their work. I cannot recommend them more highly. Best moving service I've ever encountered. read more

I have used Craig Van Lines several times for local moving. They do all the packing and loading, and they are very careful. They provide a lot of attention to detail for all the antiques, and they do an excellent job with the wrapping of fine China and paintings. Felix and Eddie work very well as a team and I always ask for them when we need help moving things around. They are very neat and careful. They put painter slippers on their shoes while they walk around the house. They are very accommodating and eager to please. It's like nothing is too much to ask of them. Sometimes, I tell them I want something placed here, and then I decide I want it over there, and they just move it with no complaints or problems. They are very on time. All the drivers are very polite, and they call within thirty minutes of arrival when I request it. It is one of many courtesies offered to their customers. Cindy, in the office, is an excellent receptionist, and she always answers the phone so friendly and nice when you call in. She makes all the arrangments and everything runs so smooth. I would highly recommend Craig Van Lines to anybody! read more

I was very nervous about hiring movers for my move from Fredericksburg Va to Charlotte, Nc in July. I got dozens of bids from the big well known movers and some small companies that seemed downright shady. I had heard such horror stories about other companies and I didn't know who I could trust. My friend had completed a move from Fairfax, Va to Atlanta,Ga the other year and recommended I give Craig Van Lines a shot. These folks are awesome from the first visit to give us a quote until the last box was unloaded from the truck. They were very careful with our items and we only had two items in a box damaged (picture frame glass) that was a result of us not wrapping them properly not the movers. The movers are very efficient and polite. They dealt with a friend of ours back home overseeing the loading and he was extremely impressed with them. As a Colonel in the military he has had his fair share of moves to compare it to. I would recommend that people consider using this local family owned moving company. They are very reasonable and reliable. read more

Title: Great experience, great people, great prices and efficient This was the first time I've used Craig Van Lines. They moved me from Fairfax, VA to Chantilly, VA which was only about five minutes. But the trip went perfectly. There were no issues. And they did what they were supposed to. Plus they got the job done in two hours under what they said they would. It was awesome! They charge by the hour, and they had reasonable rates. If I would ever have to move again (and I hope I don't until I retire), I would absolutely use Craig Van Lines again. If a potential customer were needing to move, I would tell them you're definitely in good hands. They will give you an honest quote. And more than likely, they'll get it done under quote. They handled my possessions with care. Plus they were very friendly. Overall, they were great to work with. I've had bad experiences before. So I was very happy with them. I would for sure recommend Craig Van Lines to my family and friends. read more

From start to finish of our long-distance move, Craig Van Lines was professional and communicative. In leaving the Washington, DC, Metro area, the men who packed us up were careful and friendly despite the summer heat. I am grateful for help with packing the kitchen especially as that was intense work. When delivering to our new home In New York, the movers were again professional and friendly. They placed furniture and boxes where those needed to be placed, upstairs and downstairs. They assembled furniture in the bedroom and they had a spare moment to tighten up legs on a wobbly desk. In comparison to other local/long-distance movers in the DC region, this one was timely, friendly, and professional. I like that this business is family-owned and operated. The Craig family and those they employ are caring professionals. Consider Craig Van Lines, Inc., when moving locally or long distance. read more

This was the first time we hired a moving company rather than renting a moving van and doing everything ourselves. I didn't really know what to expect when we hired Craig Van Lines, and I was genuinely pleased. To be honest, it went perfect. Nothing went missing, nothing got broken. The movers showed up exactly on time both days, not just sometime during the window they had given us. There were absolutely no issues at all. I did most of the packing myself but they checked the big stuff to make sure it would transport safely. The move was several hundred miles from the DC area to the Midwest. The moving experience was perfect and we're happy in our new home. I'm happy to give a good recommendation to Craig Van Lines. read more

I used Craig Van Lines for my recent move, The team who moved me were total professionals. As a business owner, I know how difficult it can be to find and retain quality employees, these men are the type of people I search for. Very positive and hardworking. They went out of their way to accommodate my move and I appreciate it. Working with your office staff was also a very positive experience! Very professional and straightforward, with no surprises. Thank you, I will recommend your company and if needed, will use your services again. On a scale of 1/10. I give you a solid 10 and 10 stars if they had them. read more

We selected Craig Van Lines from multiple movers and couldn't be more pleased. Having gone through multiple military moves we were not rookies, but hadn't moved recently. This was a interstate move between Northern Virginia and South Carolina, and we wanted a door to door delivery The packers came on schedule and did a professional job packing. Loading was the following day and one day we were met down in SC. Offloading and reassembly went well, so we were truly pleased. Price was about $7300 for a door to door interstate move which was well below what we had expected. They have my highest recommendation! read more

Using Craig Van Lines to move my daughter and I was a GREAT experience! The owner, Fred, was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly when he came out to give me the estimate, which was extremely reasonable. They provided incredible customer service with constant communication throughout the whole process. The day of the move ran very smoothly. The movers worked swiftly, were polite, and very cautious to make sure nothing was damaged. They even took the time out to help my daughter and I put valuable items in our car that we were taking separately. I would recommend Craig Van Lines 100 times over!!! read more

These guys did an excellent job with my move! If the opportunity arises again, I will surely choose this company. I had the contents of my home moved in Oakton, Virginia. To another location in Oakton. I then had my furniture stored for about 6 months with CVL, then onto Buxton,NC. I found after moving into a much brighter home, no damage , to any of my furniture! The movers and packers were:Professional On time, worked steady the entire time and were very personable. I appreciate being treated well and reassured during a stressful move. Thank you Craig Van Lines! Keep up the good work! read more

I have used CVL on three different occasions. Two were State to State and the last was local. I've always been happy with the courtesy and care that they taken with my belongings. On the last move, the movers even helped relocate 3 mattresses that were delivered by a furniture store (3 flights of stairs). They easily could have said that it wasn't part of the quote (or something like that), but they happily offered to help. On top of the service, I felt that the moving quote was competitive, if not better, than the other companies that I interviewed. read more

The whole experience with Craig Van lines was professional, done in a timely manner, and at a reasonable price. Our old house sold about 60 days before our new house was ready so we also stored our things with Craig Van Lines between locations. The two separate crews who worked each end of our move were great. Everything was cared for like they owned it themselves. Things that had to be taken apart at one end were professionally put back together at the other. My wife and I could not have been happier. If we had to move again we would call no one else. read more

Craig V.L.'s hit every mark. They were so clear in communicating the process and kept to the schedule even with weather and other challenges. They did a top notch job of packaging and crating artwork and other fragile items along with being very protective of all our belongings and furnishings. There were no surprises with the final bill and they kept their side of the agreements!!! Their crew were all very professional and flexible and patient with us on both ends of the move. I strongly recommend them for your next move. read more

I moved last month from Maryland to North Carolina and Craig Van Lines was simply Amazing!! From the initial survey with David, to the day pick day with Jose, Orlando, Jeff, and the entire team were friendly, organized, professional, and timely. On the day of delivery, the team arrived early and worked diligently all day. All of my household items arrived perfectly with no imperfections and nothing was broken. I would like to thank Craig Van Lines for making my moving experience great and I would highly recommend them to others. read more

Craig Van Lines did a fantastic job moving us from Fairfax County to the Culpeper area. Everything was completed on time and on budget - and the guys who did the work were friendly, easy to talk to, and careful. We have a lot of antique and collectors items, which made me uneasy when it came to moving, but they did an incredible job in keeping everything in pristine condition. They came in under the estimate, and made a nervous time for me as easy as it could be. My family was very happy. read more

We have used Craig Van Lines on five different moves starting in 1972. These moves included two local moves, and three long distance moves. Our last was just in 2013, which included a six month storage of all items. Everything was delivered in mid-December. We have been very pleased. Their staff and employees have always been very courteous, responsive, and helpful. We would highly recommend Craig Van Lines to anyone considering local or long distance moves. Sincerely, Bill and Judy read more

Don't even consider hiring anyone else. Once again Craig has proven to be the best in the business. The packer (Minnie) showed up on time, never stopped working and working hard all day. Pleasant to be around. Fantastic person. Movers the next day were fabulous. Moved everything out carefully, were cheerful throughout and delivered perfectly at my new home. Rates were better than competitive. No damages. No confusion. Absolutely fabulous. Wish there were more than 5 stars to give! read more

My son recommended craig van lines to move from my home of 37 years to my retirement community. Two gentlemen showed up wearing masks and gloves. They maintained social distancing and wore their masks the entire time. They were familiar with the retirement community I moved to and they followed all the necessary safety protocols while there. They placed all my furniture where it needed to go and put my bed together. They did a great job at keeping everyone and everything safe. read more
