Shaw has transformed into one of DC's condo hot spots, and our movers spend plenty of days in the sleek new buildings around the 9th Street and Blagden Alley corridors. From modern high-rise units to the restored row houses in between, we plan every local move around freight elevators, loading-dock bookings, and the certificate-of-insurance paperwork these newer properties require.

Our local crew keeps things tight and professional in shared lobbies and hallways, so move-in day goes off without a hitch. Since so many Shaw residents relocate for work, we also run a reliable DC-to-New York City route with guaranteed pickup and delivery dates.

01 Overview

Condo And Row House Moves

Shaw runs the full range off 7th and 9th, from newer condo buildings to older row houses. That means some moves need a high-rise COI and others load right off a stoop, and our crew handles both.

Kevin Okafor manages the building paperwork for the condos while Terrence Hill runs the row house carries. We build the plan around your address.

  • New condo moves with COIs and elevator booking
  • Older row house relocations with stoop loading
  • Studio through two-bedroom apartment moves
  • Furniture protection for both stairs and elevators

We send the flat-rate written quote first and hold your date for $99. No swapped-in day laborers, just our own W-2 crew and trucks.

We move Shaw

Our crews run jobs on the blocks and back streets all through Shaw, so we know the parking, the access, and the buildings before we pull up. Flat-rate quotes in writing, with nothing buried in the fine print.

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.

★★★★★

“Small studio move but they treated it like it mattered. Andre showed up on time, wrapped the couch, and we were unloaded at the new place in Brookland before lunch.”

Tyrone Bennett, Petworth · Google
★★★★☆

“Long-distance move out of Bethesda and they had to shift my date by one day due to a scheduling conflict on their end. They were upfront about it and gave me a heads up early, and the actual move was flawless. Docking a star only for the reschedule.”

Anthony Russo, Bethesda MD · Google
★★★★★

“Old house near Catholic University with the classic narrow DC staircase and low doorways. Malik and his partner took the banister off to get the sofa up, then put it right back. That's the kind of thing that earns a review.”

Questions from Shaw movers

Do you handle COIs for Shaw's newer condo buildings?
Yes. Kevin files certificates of insurance for the condo buildings off 7th and 9th before moving day, so your management approval and elevator slot stay in place.
Can you move me out of an older Shaw row house too?
Definitely. Shaw is a mix, so we confirm whether your place is a stoop-front row house or a condo when we quote, and our crew comes prepared for either.
Will the same crew show up that I booked?
Yes. Our movers are W-2 employees on our own trucks. The team you're quoted for a Shaw move is the team that arrives, no last-minute substitutions.
