My Guys Moving

For the record, if my move would have been within the DMV area I am sure this would have been a 5 star experience, however I was relocating for a job down to Florida so had a slightly different experience. Everything started great! Nick came over a day or so after I requested quote and did a quick inventory of our apartment. He was very pleasant and explained all the different options for the actual move and associated insurance. He did explain that for interstate moves they (My Guys) only handle the initial packing and removal of items, and a third party handles the moving and ultimate delivery to my new home.
My interactions with the third party started positively — they called the day before they were going to arrive to make sure I was going to be home and get instructions on where to park the truck. To make a long story short things went down hill from there. With interstate moves they put your belongings on the truck with other peoples and are relying on stickers to remember which item belongs to which customer. There is a master tallly sheet that shows all the stickers they used so you can check the items off as they are placed in your home, and at know if anything is missing before they leave.
Unfortunately two of my items were damaged (my wife’s large dresser and my smaller dresser), and one of the boxes was never found. When they loaded our belongings with the other two moves they were doing it’s not like they put all my things together… most of it was, but some of it was scattered in other places of the truck so that everything could fit without moving. There also was no reconstruction of the things My Guys took a part at my home (bed, dining room table) so I did it myself.
Again, if this was within the DMV I would definitely recomment them, but never again for an interstate move where they involve another party.

My definition of a good moving company is one that makes your move less stressful and doesn’t damage your stuff. Mark Davis came over to give us an estimate after we received a vague estimate after a very rambling and time-​wasting conversation from another moving company. The estimate was significantly lower than the other company, and it turned out to be accurate for the amount of time and materials required. (We actually saved a lot of materials money by acquiring a bunch of used boxes for free on Craigslist.)
My Guys packed up all of our stuff, and not one thing was broken. They arrived and finished on time and cheerfully corrected minor mistakes that were made. (The guys do not read notes. Explain what you don’t want packed verbally and preferably in Spanish.) They were also careful to put everything where we wanted it in the house, saving us from carrying boxes to different rooms.
Highly recommend!

The whole process went so smoothly, from the quote, to the day of the move and after. The movers were so nice, considerate and efficient! They managed to fit all of our large furniture into a small english basement with no problems!

These movers were great. I decided to use them after two discerning girlfriends used them for their respective moves. Jonathan was responsive and gave moving tips that drastically helped with the move. Movers showed up on time (I consider 15 minutes late to still be on time) and worked throughout a difficult move (our elevators were shut down for an hour). Instead of sitting around and wasting time, Jonathan and crew moved items closer to the elevator. Some movers would’ve taken the opportunity to hang out, but these movers never acted unprofessionally. They even picked up additional couches from a different part of town. We had mostly heavy wood furniture but glass dining room table and glass end tables. Nothing was damaged in the move. Movers diligently moved items into new place and even pointed out scratches on floor and walls. They came with floor oil and wood markers to fix any furniture. The best part was Jonathan’s advice on what to put on the bottom of our furniture to keep the floors pretty. We would’ve ruined our floors for months before realizing the problem. I would highly recommend this company for future moves.

Its been a couple years since I moved to Alexandria VA using 2 Guys. I was doing a search for my upcoming move and felt the need to warn others of my experience with this company. I moved the contents of a 2 bedroom apartment from Chesapeake VA to Alexandria VA in the fall of 2010. I’m disabled and I use a service dog. The movers were scheduled to arrive at 7am and complete the move by 4pm. They arrived at 9am and completed the move 21 hours later. A bookcase did not arrive and many items were broken. They actually placed a secretary upside down to conceal the damage made during the move. They stole my tape as well as an ice cold glass of water out of the fridge (my only solace for a migraine) They refused to place furniture or boxes where I requested, so the following morning I had to climb. I called the company to complain, and got yelled at by a clerk who said I signed the delivery papers, he then hung up.

This review should come with a warning… I was moving my personal items (i.e.- clothes, shoes, and some kitchen stuff) out of a furnished apartment I was renting and into storage, so I really didn’t have that much stuff. I didn’t have anything they could break or destroy that bad.
First off, I was just relieved when I called to get a quote and set up my move that they could do it. Evidently, July is a busy month for moving and I needed to get my stuff into storage on a short time frame so that I could leave for Afghanistan for six months. The only thing I didn’t love is that they can’t give you a time for your move. It’s like calling the cable guy or washing machine repair man… they give you a range. I was told between 1 and 4pm. They showed up around 2pm and called about 45 minutes before they arrived.
I only had about 50 boxes and i think from the time they pulled in the loading dock of my building to the time the two guys left it was 45 minutes. They were extremely efficient and worked quickly.
The move was also economical– my stuff was going from D.C. to Sterling, VA into storage and I paid about $ 300 less than what I had paid a year before to do a similar move.
I would absolutely use them again!

I had a terrific experience with the packing and moving for my 4 bedroom townhome. In both cases, the teams were efficient, hardworking, and careful – very professional. There was a terrible storm on moving day in the morning, plus rain throughout the morning, so I was concerned, but they kept working and stayed safe (and kept my stuff dry!). I was also happy that the final cost was within about $ 50 of the estimate ($ 50 less, actually). Overall I highly recommend them. One thing you need to know, though – if you have a grand piano, hire a piano mover. There was a miscommunication about whether or not they moved pianos, and in the end, I’m glad that I just went with a specialty mover for that item.

The 2 guys who came to move me out of my apartment in Arlington were so friendly and helpful. Not only did the efficiently move all of my stuff, they also help me put my closet doors back on and helped my roommate with an odd job she has been trying to figure out for weeks. They were personable and worked diligently. I will definitely be using them for my next move and would recommend them to everyone I know!
