Written quote the same day

Tell us the rooms, the stairs and the parking, and the flat number comes back in writing.

Flat rate, nothing added later

Blankets, shrink wrap and tape are in the number. Nothing is re-priced once the truck is loaded.

Packing, full or partial

Dish barrels for kitchens, wardrobe cartons for closets, crates for glass and stone tops.

One crew lead, start to finish

The same person who surveys your home runs the load-out and the walkthrough at the end.

Once you’re booked, the Three Brothers family owns your move end to end — my trucks, my W-2 crew, Grace on the paperwork. Nobody from outside this company ever walks in partway through, anywhere in DC. Here are our five services, and each one carries a flat rate locked in before the first piece is carried out.

Match your move to a service

  • Local — anywhere across DC and the DMV, from a Capitol Hill single-family to a Columbia Heights two-bedroom
  • Long-distance — under our own authority, with steady I-95 runs to Philadelphia, New York, and Boston
  • Apartment — walk-ups and high-rise condo boards, where COI filings, freight elevators, and tight landings are handled properly
  • Full-pack — a day ahead we box the whole home, leaving load day as pure carrying
  • Short-term storage — for the gap when a closing lands after your lease has already ended

Everything folded into the rate

Line What you get
2 movers + truck Flat $155/hr
3 movers + truck Flat $215/hr
Minimum Pads, dollies and shrink-wrap, always in the price
Written first Binding flat rate signed before loading starts
Cargo protection $0.60/lb released-value standard; full-value protection on the amount you declare

No running meter, no number that grows after you sign — the flat total on your estimate is precisely what you pay. Walk through it with Grace, or price it yourself on the rate estimator.

How it actually goes

See How We Work

  1. 1

    Free quote — about 10 minutes

    We handle: We ask room count, stairs or elevator, and where the truck can legally park, then send a flat written price.

    What helps most: Have your building’s COI rules and elevator hours handy — it makes the number exact instead of a guess.

  2. 2

    We lock the date, permits and elevator

    We handle: We reserve the freight elevator and pull a DDOT temporary no-parking permit so the truck sits at your door, not three blocks away.

    What helps most: Confirm your move-out and move-in windows with both buildings, then tell us the tighter one.

  3. 3

    Pack & protect

    We handle: Blanket-wrap on every piece of furniture, shrink-wrap on upholstery, beds and table legs disassembled and bagged with their hardware.

    What helps most: Label boxes by the room they go to, and keep documents, keys and small valuables with you, not on the truck.

  4. 4

    Load, drive, place & walk through

    We handle: The same crew that loads is the crew that unloads — furniture goes where you point, beds get rebuilt, packing debris leaves with us.

    What helps most: Do the final walkthrough with the crew lead before we pull away, while everything can still be adjusted for free.
