Local Motion Movers had great communication, arrived on time, and offered a very good price. I believe the total was around $450 to $500, and I was happy to leave them a good tip. They moved everything from my studio to my new place in under three hours. It was a local move with only about 10 to 15 minutes of driving, but they were still extremely fast and efficient. Nothing was broken, although I did transport the more fragile items myself to be extra careful. The only issue was that they left several long, noticeable scuff marks on the wall in my narrow hallway. That was unfortunate, but it felt fairly minor in the grand scheme of the move. Overall, the movers were professional, efficient, and easy to communicate with. I would still recommend them, but I would suggest keeping an eye on the walls in tighter spaces. read more

you're moving locally or across the country from the DC area, Local Motion Movers is the only company you need to call. When planning our move to Seattle, we wanted fair pricing, but more importantly, we wanted a team we could trust with our belongings. From day one, they were transparent, reasonably priced, and communicated exceptionally well throughout the entire process. Our shipment arrived exactly when promised, within the scheduled delivery window, and everything arrived in perfect condition. Zero issues from start to finish. Five stars! read more

I had a great experience with Local Motion Movers! My wife and I moved from Rockville, MD to Blue Bell, PA. They arrived 30 minutes early and brought 4 movers to help load up the truck. They packed everything very fast and efficiently. We moved a 1 bedroom apartment with den to a 3 bedroom apartment. After a 3 hour drive, they were able to offload everything once again in a timely manner. Their pricing was very competitive, and everyone was very nice and friendly. Lydia did a great job getting me a quote and scheduling the move. I am very happy with the experience and I highly recommend Local Motion Movers! read more

This business is the best I've used them several times they are extremely professional and courteous.

They were clear and upfront about their pricing when I contacted them and when they arrived to do the job, they did a great job. Got everything done pretty quickly and took really good care of our furniture and put everything where we wanted it. Thank you! read more

Movers showed up on time, were professional, highly proficient, seamlessly worked with me and building management when we learned 1 of the 2 apt elevators was out of service to still make the move as smooth as possible. All my furniture and art was carefully wrapped with lots of moving blankets. Would absolutely use again for my next move. read more

I had an excellent experience with this moving company during my recent 1-bedroom apartment move.

Nothing was damaged, everything was packed and transported securely, and they completed the move faster than I expected without rushing or cutting corners. Their communication was clear from start to finish, and the pricing was fair with no surprises. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and stress-free moving experience! read more

Unfortunately, I had 2 no-shows for a job today that was scheduled in advance and luckily I found this amazing company who were able to come within a couple hours the same day I reached out to them. I was quoted a great price for a Bedframe I needed assembled and it was reasonable and within my budget. Plus same day service and quick response, nothing can top that. These 2 gentleman came earlier than the confirmed time and got the job super quick and professional. They did an amazing job and I'm extremely blessed and thankful for them. I will definitely hire these guys again for things I need help with in the near future. Everything happens for a reason and I am thankful things worked out better than I expected. Five Star Service!!!! read more

I called for a quote and the woman who answered Lydia was off putting and not friendly. I've called several moving companies and have not been greeted in this manner. I recommend doing a form online and maybe avoiding her? But idk what it says about their customer service. Passing on this company based on that call read more

I want to start off with the good: Local Motion were very responsive, upfront with pricing, and provided what I believed to be a clear understanding of what to expect. My wife and I moved from a 1 bedroom apartment (~930sq ft) to a 1 bedroom condo (~1000sq ft). The distance between the locations was about 30 mins at most (DC to Alexandria). The movers arrived right on time, were very professional, and were very careful with our things. Now the bad: they were exceptionally slow. I have moved twice before with the exact same amount of total items/furniture using different movers and it took them about 1.5hrs total for the entire move. I hired Local Motion for 2 hours and it ended up taking them 8 hours. While there was a small delay of 30 minutes due to no fault of their own, their sluggishness was unacceptable. They took every single item one at a time. They had 2 movers with 2 big wooden furniture 4 wheeled moving dollies, but they only ever used one. I don't know why they couldn't go twice as fast taking 2 boxes at a time. Then to top it all off, we all left my old apartment at 1:28pm, they said they would take a lunch and meet us back at my new place in an hour. No problem. They showed up an hour later and took another ~2.5 hours to unload everything. When it came time to pay they said "oh we actually didn't take a lunch" unfortunately I wasn't there when we paid them, but they absolutely took an hour lunch and took advantage of my wife when she paid. I would not recommend using them as they are exceptionally slow, and will do everything they can to make sure your reasonable quote is not what you pay read more

VAL and his team are probably the best budget movers in the DC metropolitan area. They have their own equipment, provide you all supplies, and make sure that you are heard. We've moved several times and this was by far the best move and all because of local motion. They take care of your items as if it was their own and are patient every step of the way. All of our furniture arrived intact, and was carefully moved. They even went the extra mile to wrap fragile things. If you're looking for a moving company, do not look elsewhere. Call them and you will have the best move of your life. read more

Local Motion Movers - Heavy items? They can do it with care. - Movers Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I found this company from the Project tab for Yelp. I cannot be more satisfied with their service for my move. They were quick and efficient, careful with my items and were in and out. I was so happy with their service that I actually ended up using them for assembly of some of my dressers and nightstands after my move was complete. They were very reasonable in their price and very clear on the quote and what was being charged. read more

We contracted with Local Motion Movers for the minor project of moving items from our basement to our garage. Asked for estimate on Saturday, Lydia contacted us with a quote within minutes, which we accepted due to the positive reviews and professional presentation. The team of Otgo and Saken arrived on schedule Monday and went right to work. Very quick and efficient. They completed the move well under our estimated time. The team was professional, personable and respectful. 5 Stars in every aspect. read more

Local Motion Movers helped us move out of our 2-bedroom apartment to a 3 story townhouse this past weekend. We underestimated the amount of our belongings and they added a third person an hour in to help in order to move things along much more quickly. They were efficient and VERY careful with our belongings. Not one item damaged, not one wall scuffed. They don't charge extra for any shrink wrap used and even though it was raining that day, none of our furniture or even any of our boxes got wet. Their pricing is very fair and transparent - no hidden or unexpected fees at checkout. Lastly, they are just a company of genuine, hard-working people. Highly recommend Val and his team! read more

I'm an international student. First time ever moving from Virginia to another state all alone. So I was extremely worried about the whole process. They just made everything 100000x better and easier! I can't say enough good things about them! Everything went so smoothly and the staff were so kind and fast. From the start of the contract, they were extremely honest and straightforward. 10000/10 recommend! Thank you so much again! I'm so happy I magically found Local Motion Movers. read more

From reservation to the day they came over for packing, everything seemed so smooth. When I first reached out to get a quote, they immediately sent someone the day of. Then, the day before packing, they emailed me to confirm. On the day of, the packing team arrived promptly (actually a little early than said), immediately started packing. So efficient and careful. I will come back and add more about the moving day. read more

Highly recommend! Professional, efficient movers. So easy to coordinate, quick responses. Great experience moving a very heavy armoire from Maryland to NYC. They were the best quote I got from several inquiries and am super happy with their work. read more

Let's be honest - moving sucks and finding good movers can be even harder. Luckily your search can end here. From the first time I contacted Lydia to the end of my move everything went perfectly. I was able to set up my move with Do the Local Motion with me by texting Lydia a general list of all my big items, an estimated box count, and information about the address I was moving from and to. She generated a contract for me based on that information and we set up a moving day. Now if you're anything like me anxiety sets in as that date approaches (too many horror stories to count), however Lydia was good about assuring me we were all set! The day of the move the 2 gentleman arrived RIGHT on time and were ready to work! They immediately began loading my items and breaking down the things I needed. After loading they met me at the next spot to unload. They were very good about wrapping my things so not only were none of my items damaged, nothing was damaged at either location. We estimated initially that the job would take 3 hours and the gentlemen finished with 1 minute to spare! I was able to pay via Venmo and it was the exact amount discussed (no surprises!). I highly recommend Do the Local Motion for your local move. You will not be disappointed! read more

Excellent workmanship and prompt. I worked with Val and will definitely seek to hire him again. Very nice too. read more

I needed to move 70 miles and have my stuff shifted with no hidden fees or last minute nasty surprises. Enter Local Motion Movers. From the initial contact to my tender on Yelp (and that's also a good system) to delivering the last item, these guys were nothing short of amazing. Three guys showed up and quickly got all my stuff out of my apartment and on its way. Things that needed to be wrapped were wrapped expertly, nothing crashed into doorways leaving marks or dings, and all done while my dog made life very noisy. On the other end the unloaded quickly and safely, moved things where they needed to be, the entire job wrapped up in 8.5 hours. So yeah, if you're moving, use these guys! read more

Very honest and quality company! We were looking to move a playset and another company canceled on us at the last minute. I contacted this company and they responded quickly, gave a competitive quote, and communicated well. The job was more difficult than anticipated so they have to break it up over two days. They came back to finish the job even though I know it was more time than they had expected. Really impressed with how reliable and honest they are. They did a wonderful job. read more

Great service preceeded by excellent and clear communication. Val was able to assemble a swing set and take care of some household repairs efficiently, professionally, and quickly. I highly recommend. I'll surely use him again. read more

CANNOT more highly recommend. Needed a bed and 6 other pieces assembled. Prompt replies, perfect scheduling and on time. Very respectful. PERFECT transaction. (FYI... military member - not a bot!) read more

Arrived on time and quickly assembled a platform bed with storage drawers. Highly recommend.

Rapid response with meticulous and clean assembly work for my new desk that has 35 steps on the instruction manual...(!!!)

So impressed. Wish I used them to move my house last year. I've used them twice now for moving items in my business and plan to use them again next month for another project. Here's why, they work well as a team. Other companies I had to step in and lead and manage, not this team. Second reason, they hustle. They move fast and don't milk the clock. Highly recommend them. read more

Answered all questions quickly and were very responsive, got to the place exactly on time and did everything quickly.

Cute name - Exceptional service -- I hired Local Motion Movers with one hour's notice in May, and was amazed at how prompt they were, and how careful they were with my furnishings. I am a realtor and professional stager and my furnishings are moved frequently, so it's very important the movers aren't careless in moving things in and out of a house. I would highly recommend this great company. Well and Vadina worked late into the night to get my furniture in place, and never faltered as tired as they must have been. Most importantly, Lydia, who coordinates the moves and the movers, was the most professional moving expert it has been my pleasure to work with. I would also highly recommend her to anyone trying to coordinate a complicated move. She's the best! read more

I met the movers in Delaware, after they packed up my son in Maryland. They gave my son an ETA, and it was on point! I thought that by the time that they reached me, that they would be exhausted & grumpy, but they were not. The 3 movers were extremely courteous and professional. One was even concerned as to whether I was waiting long for their arrival. They had a truckload of my son's belongings, and they were able to fit everything in one of the Storage Units; we didn't even have to rent the other one! They were very, very careful of my son's belongings, and I cannot believe how expeditiously they worked! I would DEFINITELY hire them again! And my son rated them high also! i have had other movers in my life, and they OUTWEIGH all of the others! ~~Kathy read more

This company is great, from speaking with Lydia on setting up an appointment and pricing, to working with Valerii and his movers. Lydia quoted a price and it was as quoted. Valerii stated a time and they arrived 2 trucks and a car of movers as stated on time. They worked the whole time there while on duty, no slowing down, no time lapses, etc. MOST IMPORTANTLY -very, very professionally handled our property and materials!! I had no worries things were going to be mishandled or broken. They professionally wrapped all items and handled with care. We had some things wrapped already to save time and they wrapped over again to make sure secure! I mean they are the professionals and we are the amateurs so YAAH!! I have nothing bad to say, the moving guys asked were there other boxes or items to be moved before they finished a floor. We had a 3,000 sq ft property and Lydia assesed when I called and told what prices were going to be extra for certain items prior to reserving them, so no SURPRISES in finished pricing!! We moved to a temporary spot so I hope they are still in business when we go to move permanently. We have already referred them to our realtor company for their other clients. We have used local movers before with big names and vowed not to use them again and so we researched Yelp and reviews and found this company, I'm glad we did. Family, friends and associates will be referred to this company and I hope they are just as pleased when work is done. Thank you Do the Local Motion With Me! read more
