A move from Washington, DC to New York City means our crew drives roughly 230 miles up the corridor and into one of the toughest delivery cities in the country — and we do it in one truck, door to door. We handle the COI paperwork buildings demand, the tight elevator reservations, and the double-parking realities of Manhattan and the outer boroughs so your interstate move doesn't stall at the curb. From a walk-up studio to a full loft, this is a route our team knows cold.

City-to-city apartment jobs are our bread and butter, so our apartment moving crew comes ready for stairs, freight elevators, and narrow hallways. Many of these moves launch from the District's denser blocks, so if you're leaving Dupont Circle, we already know the parking and building access down there.

01 Overview

Moving from Washington, DC to New York City means about 225 miles up I-95 through the Northeast Corridor, then the tight streets and walk-ups of the five boroughs. Our crew plans for both. We bring our own truck, our own W-2 movers, and one binding written rate, so a fourth-floor Brooklyn walk-up never turns into a surprise bill.

Handling The Northeast Corridor

NYC buildings often need a certificate of insurance and a reserved elevator window. We line those up in advance so your DC-to-Manhattan or DC-to-Queens move stays on schedule.

  • Building COIs and elevator reservations arranged before arrival
  • Careful navigation of walk-ups, tight hallways, and loading zones
  • GPS-tracked truck with a committed delivery window
  • Same crew from your DC pickup through your NYC unload

Reserve your date for $99. Marcus Bell founded this company in 2013, and we treat a DC-to-NYC move as one continuous job, not a package we hand to someone else halfway up the turnpike.

What to expect on this route · ~225 mi

One crew and one truck the whole way, GPS-tracked door to door, on a single binding written rate. We name a delivery day and hit it — nobody else ever touches your load, and the price we wrote down is the price you pay.

Built for DC

We Know How Washington Moves Actually Work

Row houses, high-rises, historic blocks and permit-only parking — the details that trip up out-of-town movers are routine for our crews.

Building COIs & elevators

We file certificates of insurance and reserve the freight elevator with building management before move day.

Permit & loading-zone parking

We pull the temporary no-parking permits so the truck sits legally at your curb, not a block away.

Row-house stairs & walk-ups

Narrow original staircases and third-floor walk-ups in Capitol Hill and Adams Morgan are an everyday job for our crews.

Historic & landmark homes

Floor protection, doorway padding, and careful handling for older DC homes with original details worth keeping.

High-rise & condo rules

Elevator windows, dock reservations, and HOA move-in requirements handled ahead of time so nothing stalls.

Short-term storage

Closing dates that don’t line up? We hold your goods in our secured DC facility and redeliver when you’re ready.

Long-haul stories

★★★★★

“Needed our upright piano moved to a rowhouse on the Hill with a stoop and a landing halfway up. They brought the right straps and equipment and got it in place without a scratch on the instrument or the walls.”

Yolanda Simmons, Capitol Hill · Google
★★★★★

“High-rise near the ballpark, so I needed a COI for the building management and they sent it over same day without me chasing them. The move itself was smooth and the guys were respectful of the elevator padding rules.”

James Okafor, Navy Yard · Yelp
★★★★★

“Booked during a busy weekend and still got a spot. The H Street corridor parking is a nightmare but they'd reserved the permit zone ahead of time so the truck was right at the door.”

Questions about this route

How many days is a DC to New York City move?
The 225-mile drive up I-95 is a few hours, so most DC to NYC moves deliver within one to two days depending on load size and building access.
Do you handle building insurance for NYC high-rises?
Yes. We arrange the certificate of insurance and reserve the freight elevator window before your move day so nothing stalls at the door.
Is the quoted NYC price locked even with a walk-up?
It is. We set one binding written rate up front. Stairs and walk-ups are figured into your quote, so the price does not change on arrival.
