We worked with Silk Way Movers twice this year - once to get our big furniture in storage and once to move us to Newport News from Reston. The first move, the team did an excellent job wrapping our furniture in moving blankets to protect it in storage and on the move. The entire team was fast, friendly, and efficient. They helped fill our storage unit as perfect as you can imagine - 1000000 points in Tetris! The second move, we got the same team and they did a fantastic job. They loaded and unloaded the truck quickly and worked diligently to get us to our house on time. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a short or long move. read more

I've used Silk Way before and think this will be my last time. They do a decent job but this time they spent about 100 minutes (timed it) just disassembling and reassembling a bed. I was told the two guys wouldn't be able to lift the bed frame unless it was totally disassembled, which seemed like a stretch since two guys lifted the full bed with headboard. Seemed like a ploy to charge for more time. What should have been a two hour move by a competent moving company became four hours. They also charged me a 5% credit card fee and $42 for tape (no boxes, tape was the only thing they "supplied" and only to secure their own blankets.) TLDR: way too expensive and they will up charge you. Use a different company. read more

I booked with Silk for my move from Alexandria VA to Tampa FL and everything was to the point. Reliable communicator and delivered on his timing. I felt at ease and relaxed after spending hours and hours trying to find someone reasonable and reliable. Thankful! read more

I highly recommend Silk Way Movers. This was my second time working with Mike and his team. They were timely, carefully handled my items, very courteous, and provided the best rate for the service (when compared to quotes received from other movers). They had everything worked out within the estimated window and did a thorough sanity check at the end, which I much appreciated. Thank you! read more

Overall I'm extremely disappointed with my experience with Silk Way Movers. I was moving out of a 1400 square foot home with several pieces of large furniture (table, bar, desk, end tables, couch, bed, chairs, shed, etc.). I took an inventory of many of the big items we needed moved, and I'll admit I did not have a full inventory of the small items and a couple of the larger items. Based on the size of the home and the pictures I provided, they should have had a good indication of the size of the job. They provided a 3 man crew that arrived at 10:30 am. One person spoke English, the other two folks spoke only Spanish. As you can probably imagine, having an English-speaking supervisor giving instructions to folks that do not speak English is a problem in and of itself. When they arrived at my house, it was like they were problem solving for the first time, assessing the logistics of moving all my items. I expected some strategy as to what they were moving and why, but I didn't see much of that. Instead I saw a supervisor struggling to communicate to the two other employees. I saw an excessive amount of wrapping and taping to eat the clock. I saw three employees that lacked the skill of using a hand drill (of which I provided). I disassembled and reassembled all my furniture, because I could see they struggled with basic aspects of moving. It took four hours for them to move 15-20 items of furniture and about 15-20 boxes into the truck. They informed me they would need to take two trips. While they were completing their first trip, I stopped by the house I was moving from to pick a few things up. When I came back, I saw a fourth member helping move things into my house. As I got to my new house I asked the group who the fourth member of the team was. The supervisor said - "I don't know him." Rewind five minutes before, this stranger was helping him move things through a doorframe and no one from the team thought to say anything. I repeat -- A STRANGER on the street started helping this team move and no one told this person that they are not allowed to touch my belongings, enter my new house, etc. When I told this vagrant street dweller to get off my property, he demanded payment from the moving company. Eventually the police got involved as this person tried to steal things off of the moving truck. What company lets random strangers support moving items into a persons house?! Clearly one that hasn't hired the right skilled workers. Even as bad as that event was - my wife and I were fuming at everything else gone wrong in this moving experience. The whole day was a mess and likely took twice as long as any other moving company I have used. I was doing much more physical labor and assembly and disassembly than I have ever done with a company. By the end of the experience, I was just glad they were out of the house. My bed was still folded up with straps around it. My cabinet drawers were strewn across the floor. Things were moved, but not well at all. My wife and I tried to instruct the movers where to put things - but it's difficult when your movers don't speak English and there's not a translator on staff. As a result one couch wasn't even put in the right room or the right floor. We had to rearrange most of the items against a wall because they were just placed in the middle of the house. After escalating all of this to the manager of Slick Way Movers, I received a faint apology and a whopping discount of $110 or $120 from a $1200 bill! The total for the move was around $1200 as they didn't finish until 5:30 pm - far from the initial 2 hour quote of $4-500. We realized this service was hourly - but we also had the expectation that we did not need to spend those hours training their staff and that they would use their time efficiently. I have moved about 3 times with movers. This was by far the worst experience. The company lacked: Accountability, Professionalism, Strategy, and Customer Support. read more

I requested quotes from many moving companies to move some furniture from our primary residence in Northern Virginia to a 2nd home near the Delaware shore. Silk Way Movers were polite, had great communications, did a great job, and all with a very competitive price. Save yourself the headache of talking to many companies, and go the Silk Way. read more

I have to say, from the beginning, the promptness in response and positivity of Michael at Silk Way was a welcome relief. They took away the stress of our upcoming move. On move day, they were on time and accurate with the estimated time. Very efficient with all the tools and tricks to make our move successful and seamless! The price was right and well worth it. Thanks Michael and Alex!! It was a five star rating for sure. read more

I highly recommend Silk Way Movers! I waited until the last minute to schedule movers and Mike was able to accommodate me the night before my move. The prices were extremely reasonable for the quality service I received. They wrapped all of my fragile items and delivered everything with care. The price I paid ended up matching my quote exactly! Would definitely use them in the future read more

Silk Way is fully deserving of all 5 stars for their job on my move from DC to North Carolina in October 2020. Mike and Bob arrived exactly on time, worked efficiently and diligently, were incredibly helpful and kind, and followed all COVID safety precautions for my move. I was initially a bit worried by some of the 1-star reviews here for Silk Way, but these do not reflect my experience at all. I would definitely hire Silk Way again. Flawless execution and very competitive prices. A few notes: -5% surcharge on credit card transactions, so plan for that or get cash. I didn't feel comfortable carrying that much cash so I opted to pay the fee. -We went back and forth over email a few times to nail down the specifics of the move and finalize a quote. Email responses were always very quick and courteous. read more

Used Silk Way Movers to move my Mom and Dad. Contacted them via text and they got back to me very quickly. Very easy to get a quote, make a deposit and schedule the move. Very reasonable rates. Movers showed up promptly on scheduled date. All furniture was wrapped carefully in blankets, handled with care and delivered in good condition at destination. Movers were polite, friendly and easy to work with. Used them again a few weeks later to move a few more pieces of furniture between three different houses. Once again, everything went off without a hitch. Very pleased with the service we received from this company. Would definitely use again in the future. read more

Update: I love how the response sounds like it supposed to be surprising! Solid attempt at sounding like the victim turn hero. Everything was detailed out. EVERYTHING! Three stories up and down in both homes?!?! FALSE!!! Home #1 you enter on and exit from the middle floor! She gave the crew tips?!?! HAHAHAHAHA Please! My 5'1" pregnant wife was strong armed into tipping. First she declined to do a video testimony, then she declined to do a written online review, and then felt coerced when she was asked "anything extra for good job my crew did" *AND FOR THE RECORD* My mother-in-law tipped the crew because my wife was feeling really uncomfortable and wanted Silkway gone. Oh yeah ... good job just dumping clothes out of three drawers on to a bed that still needed to be moved. Would've been nice to know that clothes drawers needed to be emptied. Would've been so much better had they just left the drawers behind with the clothes in them. Instead we had to unload bins and then reload them with the clothes that Silkway dumped. The police was called! And they found my longboard! UNDER my old neighbors car! The car that the Silkway's truck was parked next to! I tend to believe the logic behind the suggestion of the police ... that one of the four Silkway crew members on-site had a conscience, told the would-be-thief "don't do it", and ditched my longboard. Last I checked 9:30, minus 1/2 hour for supposed lunch, is 10-3 and equates to five hours. Not six! Despite the fact they they were actually gone for over an hour at lunch. But we paid for six hours and got less than five hours of labor AND work benches were still left in garage. In closing ... why do you think we hired Silkway? Because I was at work and couldn't be there. Duhhh. read more

Our movers were great. We had a team of 4 movers led by Mike and they did an excellent job. We had a lot of stuff to move and they estimated it would take 7 hours. It ended up taking 8, but not due to workers being slow. In fact, the entire team was working very hard the entire time. Two of the men didn't even stop for a lunch break. They took great care of our belongings and even came back by later in the evening when they found an item accidentally left on the truck. I highly recommend Silk Way Movers for your move. read more

I recently moved, and I had the pleasure of working with Hakim and Jordan. They were extremely professional, and considerate of everything. I had to move boxes and furniture from 2 separate locations. I had about 1 bedroom apartment worth of stuff total and we finished easily within the 3 hours. They made sure to be gentle with my stuff and not to cause any damage. Overall, I am extremely happy with the service I received and I would recommend Silk Way Movers. I was particularly happy with my movers Hakim and Jordan, so this is a shout out for them. read more

I recently move again and used Silk Way Movers for the 3rd time. I would highly recommend Mike and his team. I even recomended that my father use Silk to move items into a storage unit. Regardless of the size of the move, Mike and his team arrive on time, move all items with care, are very courteous, and willing to go above and beyond. This move into another apartment went completely smoothly. It was a good value and I was very happy with the completion of the job. Again, I would highly recommend Silk Way Movers to anyone looking for movers!! read more

I have used different moving companies over the years and the Silk Way was the best experience. I worked with Hakim and Jordan. They showed up on time and were very friendly (which is helpful when you are moving). Also, the price was great for my move. Very good deal. A colleague recommended Silk Way movers to me and I would definitely recommend them to a friend. read more

Best movers I've had in 20-plus years of many moves in my adult life. They were courteous and quick. They even figured out how to hoist my extra long couch over the balcony when it wouldn't fit through the narrow bend in my apartment entrance. Highly recommend. read more

The movers were nice but I scheduled 3 movers and had all furniture wrapped and sealed and it still took over 5 hrs for a 3-mile local move. Just beware. read more

Our family has used Silk Way three times now and we are always impressed by the crew's thoroughness and speed. They are very thorough and careful packers and when unloading into the new place they listen politely to instructions from the homeowners on where to place items. Would definitely use again. read more

Silk Way Movers has excellent customer service and movers. Our movers Mike and Luis were friendly, professional and quick. I had a 2 stop move and was not able to be at those locations, but the movers were excellent and made sure all items were delivered to the correct locations. I would definitely use and recommend Silk Way Movers again. read more

I booked Silk Way Movers to help with my recent move after two of my friends recommended them highly to me. As this was my first time hiring movers and my move was rather sudden, I appreciated the professionalism, patience, and flexibility that Amanda and Julia exhibited to help arrange my move and provide an accurate and affordable estimate. On moving day, Mike and Jordan arrived on time, worked very efficiently, and helped make the experience seamless and stress free with their positive attitude and expertise. Would highly recommend using this company! read more

We moved from Arlington, VA to Vienna, VA recently. Our friends moved just a few weeks before us with Silk Way Movers company and had positive feedback on them. So we decided to give them a try too. The entire experience was smooth, quick, and convenient. I requested a quote on their website a few days before the moving date. Mike responded the same day with detailed information about the service and the price. Mike and his fellow worker were punctual, arrived all prepared - with blankets, dollies, tapes, and a contract ready to sign. We had most of our belongings pre-packed in boxes. The moving team took care of the furniture, carefully disassembled it and wrapped in blankets. We don't have an elevator at our new place, and these guys carefully carried all the boxes and the furniture up to the 2nd and 3rd floors. The most exciting fact is that they did not leave a tiny single scratch on freshly painted walls and doors. I am very grateful to Silk Way Movers for being so careful with our fragile items, furniture and walls. Overall it was a great experience with a friendly and positive team. I highly recommend this service to anyone. read more

Second time we've used them and will do so whenever we move again. The team was super nice and fast. They took great care with our things and did an awesome job moving things up and down narrow stairs in our new place. You'll never want to move your own things again. read more

Highest praise! I requested a quote & received a reply almost immediately. I had to change the move date twice - Jenny was understanding and extremely flexible. A week before the move I got Covid and was too sick to have everything organized and ready to go. Brandon and Mike came in and my worries were over. They told me to just sit back and relax, they would take care of everything. And they did. All my items were treated with care and both were very professional and friendly. The overall charge was exactly what I was expecting - no hidden fees or surprises. read more

I used this service to move ~15 minutes away. I had a 1 bedroom and a living room, ~30 boxes. It took 3 hours to move, a little faster than I expected. These guys are really hard workers, they are constantly on the move, have great attitudes, and are well organized. They take good care of your stuff, putting padding around even our cheapest wood furniture to prevent any damage. They are competitively priced against the market. read more

Poor service. The guys were not professional and very slow, cheated on the rate, I had 3 different hourly rate quoted? they charged me for tape for wrapping my furniture and didn't tell me it was optional, had glasses broke because a boxed label "fragile and glasses" means nothing to them and belong on the bottom with other boxes on top. Took them 6 hours to move from Grenoble/collage park to Alexandria. While our previous move, same location with same inventory took 4 hours. These moves that came out purposely prolonged my move. I caught them on numerous occasion idling. Never again will I hire this company. The reviews on here were great but these two guys, not sure what who/what they were. I should've know something was not right when I called 4pm the day before my move and they had to whole day availability. read more

These guys are great! Friendly, efficient, and professional. Worked fast non-stop for 5 hours to move a 2 bedroom apartment into a house. Reasonable prices as well. Highly recommend! read more

Highly recommend! I recently moved from MD to VA and I'm impressed with Silk Way's service. Our two movers are super friendly, professional and quick. They took good care of our fragile items and furnitures. For a 1 bedroom, the whole moving process only took less than four hours( travel time included). The price is also reasonable. (Actually the lowest price quote I can get from the DMV area) read more

Highly recommend this company, very professional and friendly guys. We had a long distance move and all the furniture was handled with extra care. Everything was delivered in time and we had a pleasant and smooth experience! Mike and his team are very experienced and hardworking and will provide high quality for a great price for their service! read more

This is our second time using their service and I couldn't have asked for a better service. They came right on time, got started in no time and wasted no time. Jordan helped us with our last move as well and he moves so fast. He's grabbing two boxes at a time and I was impressed once again. Brandon was also as efficient. They were both kind and respectful. Wrapped all of our things so they don't get damaged. Everything was done super quick and we'll be recommending them to our friends and family in the future! read more

The team was AMAZING! I highly recommend Silk Way Movers, they were phenomenal from the first phone call to leaving. They were on time, efficient, followed CDC guidelines, and truly gave me a positive experience. Will definitely be using again! read more

I absolutely hate moving and dreaded having to find the right moving company for my needs. I ended up chose Silk Way Movers and I'm so happy I did. My move was from a one bedroom apartment to a 3-story townhome. 1. The owner, Mike, responded to my request and any follow up questions very promptly. 2. The prices were very reasonable. I was quoted between 2-4 hours and it ended at 4 hours on the nose...the movers were working non-stop. 3. I had a very delicate bookshelf made of glass that I was nervous about. While other moving companies told me it was impossible to move without damage and would need to be taken apart (that wasn't an option for me due to the complexity of putting it back together) Mike was confident about their abilities and explained it could be done...and it was. It was very well packaged and protected. Not one scratch, dent, or chip. It was in perfect condition. 4. A couple of days before my appointment, I reached out to Mike to see about rescheduling to an earlier date. Again, Mike responded promptly and was very accommodating. 5. On the day of the move, Jordan and Hakeem (aka the dream team), showed up on time and got right to work. I actually expected that at some point I would have to motivate them to keep moving, but instead they were working so hard and fast that I almost wanted to tell them to sit down and take a break. 5. The quality of their work was also impressive. I honestly never had any moving company take such good care of my property. All of my furniture was well covered and loaded/unloaded with care. My only feedback would be to provide the price list of all possible fees for materials upfront and allow your customers to choose what they would like. I was made aware of the extra cost associated with the special packaging of the glass bookcase at the time of booking. However, I did not know that I would be charged per roll of tape, and other materials used for the standard items. The charge was reasonable, but it's just something that's good to know upfront so that they'll be no surprises, and it'll give your clients the choice of using their own materials instead. Overall my experience with Silk Way Movers was extremely pleasant and made this particular move a stress-free one. I would definitely recommend Silk Way Movers and would not hesitate to use them again. read more

What A Wonderful Crackerjack Team! On Point! Reasonable Rates! I'm deeply grateful for Silk Way Movers, as I was somewhat nervous from hearing a few nightmarish stories about other moving companies. Silk Way Movers worked on short notice, were on time, packed what needed to be packed from the storage facility and setup what needed to be setup at my new place and did it all with great care! They even made one extra trip to my daughters home to drop a few things off; what a team! I am very, very pleased with their service: Professional, Courteous, Reasonably Rates, On Time, Handled my belongings with care, Put things in their proper places, worked quite efficiently and quickly without breaking one item. I am thoroughly pleased with their service, will definitely use them again in the future and highly recommend them. Thanks again Silk Way Movers, you've saved my day! Terisse read more

I highly recommend Silk Way Movers! Mike and his team arrived early and worked efficiently. They brought extra pads and tape to wrap my furniture in, and unloaded the boxes to the rooms as they were labeled. Many thanks to Silk Way for making the moving process easy. I hope you use them for your next move! read more

These guys are the real deal movers. You cannot beat their price point, and the quality of work they do for the price they charge is unbeatable. The two gentlemen took such great care of all my furniture. They were quick, used a lot of precaution, and had an immense attention to detail with every item they moved. I have already told my friends and family to use them for all moving needs. They have great communication, no hidden fees, and went above and beyond on the moving day. Not one thing damaged. They handled everything like it was priceless. The owner always kept in contact, and I am very grateful to Silk Way Movers. read more

Very excellent and professional company. After having another company in the area cancel my move on me last minute, mike was able to accommodate my move at a very good rate. The move was efficient and smooth. Highly recommend them to anyone! read more

The moving crew was very nice, careful, and professional. They were thorough in wrapping the furniture and padding the fragile. If you want your stuff wrapped up well, this is the moving company for you. read more

I'm so impressed with this moving company! Mike responded to me very quickly online with a quote, let me know they'd be able to move two apartments from two different locations into a new apartment at no additional charge (everything determined by an hourly basis) and was very clear about all fees associated with the move. On the day of the actual move, Hakem and Jordan showed up (early, too!), navigated the small alleys around my apartment and my boyfriend's apartment with complete ease, and managed to move us both out of two different locations and move us into our new home within three hours. I was in complete awe at how fast they worked and even more impressed at how cheerful they were the entire time. If I ever need movers again, I'll definitely go for this company again! Especially if Hakem and Jordan are the movers. Thank you both for your hard and amazingly fast work! read more

Mike and his crew were always polite and worked very diligently. I used his services twice; once to move belonging into a storage unit and then another time to bring the belonging back out of the unit. Very professional and gentle with belonging to make sure they wouldn't be damaged. Mike was very easy to communicate with and set up schedules. I highly recommend Silk Way Movers. read more

Moving sucks, this move wasn't any different, but would have sucked more without Silk Way Movers. Mike and his two movers helped move my one bedroom apartment a few neighborhoods away. They were careful (maybe too careful, read slow) with all of our belongings and furniture. Even when my new apartment building triple booked the loading dock, not to mention an extremely long walk to our elevator, the movers worked around the situation and got us moved in. They were all friendly and professional. Mike clearly described the rates and didn't charge me any hidden fees which I was kind of worried about not having used movers before. I'd definitely recommend them! read more

Great company to work with! Was very happy with Sharif and his team! Very contentious and moved me in with a smile!!!
