Townhomes in Kentlands and Lakelands, apartments near the Rio and Washingtonian Center, single-family homes in Quince Orchard and Montgomery Village — moved by our own in-house crews, billed by the hour.
Gaithersburg sits right next door to our Rockville base, up I-270 and Route 355. Being this close means we can often fit Gaithersburg moves on short notice, and the crew spends its time carrying furniture instead of sitting in traffic.
A lot of Gaithersburg housing is townhomes — three levels, a garage on the bottom, bedrooms on top. Townhouse moves are stair moves, so we plan them that way: usually a 3-mover crew, with one mover on the truck and two on the stairs, mattress bags and door-jamb protection, and beds taken apart before they go down the stairwell.
Every move includes furniture pads, shrink-wrap and disassembly/reassembly of standard furniture at no extra charge. If you need help before the truck shows up, our packing service is handled by the same in-house team, and storage is available if your closing dates don’t line up.
An hourly rate for your crew (2 or 3 movers) plus a one-time 1-hour arrival fee for the truck and travel. That’s the whole formula.
Example
A 3-mover crew works 5 hours from arrival to the end of unloading. You pay 5 hours of crew time + the 1-hour arrival fee = 6 billable hours at your crew’s hourly rate.
Because the total depends on the time actually worked, we don’t give fixed prices in advance. What we do give you up front is the hourly rate for your crew, so you can plan.
How our pricing worksYou choose a 2-mover or a 3-mover crew. Each has its own hourly rate, and you only pay for the time the crew actually works.
One hour added once per move. It covers the truck and the crew’s drive from our office to your Gaithersburg address and back to the office afterwards.
The clock starts when the crew arrives at your job and stops when the last item is unloaded. That’s when your total is calculated — together, on the spot.
No fuel surcharges and no stair fees. Pads, shrink-wrap and furniture disassembly are part of the job.
Most of these are easy to fix before moving day — and every one of them saves billable time.
Many Kentlands and Lakelands townhomes have rear garages on narrow alleys and front doors on tight streets. Tell us which side you want us to load from, and whether a full-size truck can get down the alley.
Furniture often has to come down two flights. Empty dressers, take TVs off the wall if you can, and let us know about anything that came up the stairs in pieces.
Garden-style communities around the Rio, Crown and Washingtonian Center often have no elevator and set move hours. Ask the leasing office about truck parking and any move-out rules.
Some HOAs limit how long a moving truck can park on the street or require notice. A quick email to your HOA before move day avoids surprises.
Lease turnovers make the last and first days of the month the busiest. If you can move mid-month, booking is easier and the roads are quieter.
Closing on the new place a week after you leave? We can load your home, hold it in storage, and deliver when you’re ready.

Most Gaithersburg moves we do start or end somewhere nearby — a starter apartment near the Rio to a townhouse in Lakelands, a family home in Quince Orchard to a condo in Rockville, or up the road to Germantown and Clarksburg.
Because the clock runs from the moment the crew arrives until the last item is unloaded, the drive between your old and new homes is part of the billable time. Gaithersburg-to-Rockville or Gaithersburg-to-Germantown drives are short, which is one reason local moves here tend to finish in fewer hours than people expect.
