Step 1 of 4: Move

Step 1: Move

First, the move itself

Start with the pickup and destination.

Street address is best, but a neighborhood works.

Even just the borough is fine if you're not sure yet.

Planning your move

Moving for a new job in Washington

You might be moving directly into a permanent home or spending a while in a furnished apartment. Tell us which belongings need to go now and which may need storage. We can discuss the complete situation before quoting.

Include the exact destination, whether it is in the District or a nearby address in Virginia or Maryland. Share any work start date or lease deadline that affects your plans, so we can review it alongside the available moving schedule.

Keepsake is licensed for interstate moves. A free video or in-person survey lets us look through the New York contents and discuss furniture or fragile pieces that need individual attention.

Packing and preparation

Keep the practical details from becoming a second job

If either building requires a certificate of insurance, pass on its management contact and written requirements. We handle that coordination. Send any access hours you have been given so the schedule accounts for both properties.

We can pack selected rooms or the whole home, normally during the moving-day visit. If your first place in Washington is temporary, ask about arranged storage for the belongings that will follow later.
