Local moves
done by
dinnertime

Apartments, condos, and houses across DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia — moved in one day by a licensed, insured crew that shows up when it says it will.

The move across town shouldn't
feel like a move across the country

You know how a "small" local move goes. The quote was vague, so the bill grows by the hour. The crew shows up at noon instead of eight — if it shows up at all. And your building manager is asking who reserved the freight elevator, because nobody did. Now the couch is stuck in the lobby and the clock is still running.

GeoStars does local moving differently. You get a free itemized quote within one business hour — the estimate you approve is the price you pay. No deposit. No hidden fees. Our crews know the buildings of the DMV: which Arlington high-rises need a certificate of insurance on file, which DC rowhouse streets need a parking permit, which Bethesda condos lock the loading dock at 5 p.m. We handle that before moving day, so moving day is just moving.

Whether it's a studio in Navy Yard or a four-bedroom in Fairfax, we wrap it, load it, drive it, and set it back up — usually before dinner. One day, one crew, one price.

What's Included

Everything a local move needs, already in the truck

Every hourly package — Basic, Standard, or Premium — comes fully equipped, so there are no surprise line items for pads, dollies, or tools.

Full loading and unloading

The crew carries everything — from the third-floor walk-up down to the truck and back up your new stairs — you don't lift a box.

Furniture disassembly and reassembly

Bed frames, dining tables, IKEA wardrobes, Peloton screens off and back on — taken apart at pickup, rebuilt in the right room at drop-off.

Protective padding and wrapping

Moving blankets on your dresser, stretch wrap on your sofa, door-jamb and floor protection in both buildings — before anything moves an inch.

Hand trucks and dollies

Heavy pieces roll instead of drag, which is how your hardwood floors and your movers' backs both survive the day.

Building and elevator coordination

We help reserve freight elevators, provide certificates of insurance to your building, and time the crew to your loading-dock window.

Parking permit know-how

Tight DC rowhouse street or permit-only Old Town block? We tell you exactly what to request from DDOT or your city so the truck parks at your door, not two blocks away.

Insurance on every move

Licensed, insured, and bonded — your belongings are covered from the moment we wrap them to the moment we set them down.

A price that doesn't move

$140/hr for 2 movers and a truck, $170/hr for 3, $210/hr for 4 — itemized upfront, approved by you, and honored to the dollar.

How It Works

From first call to last box, in four steps

1

Tell us what's moving

Call +1 (202) 517-4971 or send your inventory online — rooms, big pieces, stairs or elevator, both addresses. Takes about five minutes. We're open every day, 24/7, so 11 p.m. panic-planning counts.

2

Get your itemized quote in an hour

Within one business hour you get a written, line-by-line estimate: crew size, hourly rate, everything included. No deposit to book. The number you approve is the number you pay.

3

We prep the buildings, you pack the boxes

Before the truck rolls, we sort the logistics — elevator reservation, certificate of insurance for your property manager, parking permit guidance for your street. You just label the boxes.

4

Moving day, done in a day

The crew arrives on time, wraps and loads in the morning, drives across town, and reassembles your home in the afternoon. You sleep in your own bed — in your new place — that night.
